This study, concerning the influence on the NLO properties of a remote functionality in the donor of D–Ni–A dithiolenes 1–4, allows to point out the relationship between NLO properties and the donor capability in modulating the low-energy absorption.

For (Z)-(Z)-N-(λ5-phosphanylidene) formohydrazonic formic anhydride, Aza-Wittig reaction and Mumm rearrangement are studied using both density functional and coupled cluster theories. For this purpose, two different products starting from one substrate are considered that are competing with each other. The obtained products, P1 and P2, are thermodynamically favorable. The product of the aza-Wittig reaction, P1, is more stable than the product of Mumm rearrangement (P2). For the mentioned products, just one reliable pathway is separately proposed based on unimolecular reaction. Therefore, the rate constants based on RRKM theory in 300-600 K temperature range are calculated. Results show that the P1 generation pathway is a suitable path due to low energy barriers than the path P2. The first path has three steps with three transition states, TS1, TS2, and TS3. The P2 production path is a single-step reaction. In CCSD level, the computed barrier energies are 14.55, 2.196, and 10.67 kcal/mol for Aza-Wittig reaction and 42.41 kcal/mol for Mumm rearrangement in comparison with the corresponding complexes or reactants. For final products, the results of the computational study are in a good agreement with experimental predictions.

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) demonstrates a potential role in personalized screening models, in particular for women at increased risk and women with dense breasts. In this study, volumetric breast density (VBD) measured in CEM images was compared with VBD obtained from digital mammography (DM) or tomosynthesis (DBT) images. A total of 150 women who underwent CEM between March 2019 and December 2020, having at least a DM/DBT study performed before/after CEM, were included. Low-energy CEM (LE-CEM) and DM/DBT images were processed with automatic software to obtain the VBD. VBDs from the paired datasets were compared by Wilcoxon tests. A multivariate regression model was applied to analyze the relationship between VBD differences and multiple independent variables certainly or potentially affecting VBD. Median VBD was comparable for LE-CEM and DM/DBT (12.73% vs. 12.39%), not evidencing any statistically significant difference (p = 0.5855). VBD differences between LE-CEM and DM were associated with significant differences of glandular volume, breast thickness, compression force and pressure, contact area, and nipple-to-posterior-edge distance, i.e., variables reflecting differences in breast positioning (coefficient of determination 0.6023; multiple correlation coefficient 0.7761). Volumetric breast density was obtained from low-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography and was not significantly different from volumetric breast density measured from standard mammograms.

Model dimers consisting of a traditional strong donor, a traditional strong acceptor, and ambipolar thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine were studied to provide a deeper understanding of donor–acceptor interactions and their application to conjugated materials.

We analyze the relationship between the N=2 harmonic and projective superspaces, which are the only approaches developed to describe general N=2 super-Yang–Mills theories in terms of off-shell supermultiplets with conventional supersymmetry. The structure of low energy hypermultiplet effective action is briefly discussed.
