A SC–SC transformation process driven by I2 has been shown to generate a 2D + 1D → 2D interpenetrated architecture from a 2D + 2D → 2D network. For the first time we demonstrate a selective sensor toward cyano-containing molecules.

A theoretical investigation of the influence of a standing wave flow-field on the dynamics of a laminar two-dimensional spray diffusion flame is presented for the first time. The mathematical analysis permits mild slip between the droplets and their host surroundings. For the liquid phase, the use of a small Stokes number as the perturbation parameater enables a solution of the governing equations to be developed. Influence of the standing wave flow-field on droplet grouping is described by a specially constructed modification of the vaporization Damkohler number. Instantaneous flame front shapes are found via a solution for the usual Schwab–Zeldovitch parameter. Numerical results obtained from the analytical solution uncover the strong bearing that droplet grouping, induced by the standing wave flow-field, can have on flame height, shape, and type (over- or under-ventilated) and on the existence of multiple flame fronts.

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to introduce cervical strain elastography to objectively assess the cervical tissue transformation process during induction of labour (IOL) and to evaluate the potential of cervical elastography as a predictor of successful IOL.MethodsA total of 41 patients with full-term pregnancies elected for an IOL were included. Vaginal ultrasound with measurement of cervical length and elastography and assessment of the Bishop Score were performed before and 3 h after IOL. The measured parameters were correlated to the outcome of IOL and the time until delivery.ResultsWe observed an association between the strain pattern and the value of the strain ratio 3 h after IOL and a successful IOL (p=0.0343 and p=0.0342, respectively) which can be well demonstrated by the results after 48 h. In our study population the cervical length and the Bishop Score did not prove to be relevant parameters for the prediction of a successful IOL.ConclusionsWe demonstrated for the first time that the cervical elastography pattern after the first prostaglandine application can help predict the outcome of IOL.

MoO3 is a versatile two-dimensional transition metal oxide having applications in areas such as energy storage devices, electronic devices and catalysis. To efficiently utilize the properties of MoO3 arising from its two-dimensional nature exfoliation is necessary. In this work, the exfoliation of MoO3 is carried out in 2-butanone for the first time. The achieved concentration of the dispersion is about 0.57 mg·mL−1 with a yield of 5.7%, which are the highest values reported to date. These high values of concentration and yield can be attributed to a favorable matching of energies involved in exfoliation and stabilization of MoO3 nanosheets in 2-butanone. Interestingly, the MoO3 dispersion in 2-butanone retains its intrinsic nature even after exposure to sunlight for 24 h. The composites of MoO3 nanosheets were used as an electrode material for supercapacitors and showed a high specific capacitance of 201 F·g−1 in a three-electrode configuration at a scan rate of 50 mV·s−1.

The host–pathogen interactions induced by Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A during enteric fever are poorly understood. This knowledge gap, and the human restricted nature of these bacteria, limit our understanding of the disease and impede the development of new diagnostic approaches. To investigate metabolite signals associated with enteric fever we performed two dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC/TOFMS) on plasma from patients with S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A infections and asymptomatic controls, identifying 695 individual metabolite peaks. Applying supervised pattern recognition, we found highly significant and reproducible metabolite profiles separating S. Typhi cases, S. Paratyphi A cases, and controls, calculating that a combination of six metabolites could accurately define the etiological agent. For the first time we show that reproducible and serovar specific systemic biomarkers can be detected during enteric fever. Our work defines several biologically plausible metabolites that can be used to detect enteric fever, and unlocks the potential of this method in diagnosing other systemic bacterial infections.

This paper explains step-by-step how to construct the 3D Pythagoras' theorem by geometric manipulation of the two dimensional version. In it is shown how $x+y=z$ (1D Pythagoras' theorem) transforms into $x^2+y^2=z^2$ (2D Pythagoras' theorem) via two steps: a 90-degree rotation, and a perpendicular extrusion. Similarly, the 2D Pythagoras' theorem transforms into 3D using the same steps. Octahedrons emerge naturally during this transformation process. Hence, each of the two dimensional elements has a direct three dimensional equivalent. Just like squares govern the 2D, octahedrons are the basic elements that govern the geometry of the 3D Pythagoras' theorem. As a conclusion, the geometry of the 3D Pythagoras' theorem is a natural evolution of the 1D and 2D. This interdimensional evolution begs the question -- Is there a bigger theorem at play that encompasses all three?

Microtubules are dynamically unstable polymers that interconvert stochastically between growing and shrinking states by the addition and loss of subunits from their ends. However, there is little experimental data on the relationship between microtubule end structure and the regulation of dynamic instability. To investigate this relationship, we have modulated dynamic instability in Xenopus egg extracts by adding a catastrophe-promoting factor, Op18/stathmin. Using electron cryomicroscopy, we find that microtubules in cytoplasmic extracts grow by the extension of a two- dimensional sheet of protofilaments, which later closes into a tube. Increasing the catastrophe frequency by the addition of Op18/stathmin decreases both the length and frequency of the occurrence of sheets and increases the number of frayed ends. Interestingly, we also find that more dynamic populations contain more blunt ends, suggesting that these are a metastable intermediate between shrinking and growing microtubules. Our results demonstrate for the first time that microtubule assembly in physiological conditions is a two-dimensional process, and they suggest that the two-dimensional sheets stabilize microtubules against catastrophes. We present a model in which the frequency of catastrophes is directly correlated with the structural state of microtubule ends.

Three new hopane triterpenes have been isolated from lichens of the family Physciaceae. Two of the triterpenes, 22-hydroxyhopan-6-one (2) and 6 α-acetoxyhopan-22-ol (1b), have been characterized previously but their natural occurrence is reported for the first time, while a new triterpene acid [ aipolic acid (1c)], was isolated and characterized as the corresponding methyl ester. One- and two-dimensional 1H-1H and 13C-lH correlated n.m.r. studies have revealed methyl aipolate to be methyl 6#945;-acetoxy-22-hydroxyhopan-25-oate (1d).

Their structures were established by the one‐and two‐dimensional NMR techniques including DEPT, COSY and HMBC spectroscopy. This work examined proton and carbon NMR data of calameone (1) and aristolone (3) for the first time, which had not yet been fully studied in previous literature.

The spatial and time dispersions of the dielectric permittivity of an electron gas in quasi-two-dimensional quantum nanostructures are studied. The screening of the charge-carrier scattering potential in a quantum-confined film with a modified P¨oschel–Teller potential is considered for the first time. Analytical expressions for the dielectric permittivity are obtained.
