Metastable water at several compression rates and its freezing kinetics into ice VII

Nature Communications
Water can be dynamically over-compressed well into the stability field of ice VII. Whether water then transforms into ice VII, vitreous ice or a metastable novel crystalline phase remained uncertain.

Performance differences by gender in English reading test

Jurnal Penelitian dan Evaluasi Pendidikan, 2020
Test fairness becomes an aspect that needs to be considered when developing a test instrument. It is highly recommended that the instrument should not be biased for the test takers by ensuring that they do not behave differently among male and female ...

Therapeutic Options for IgA Pemphigus in Patients Refractory to Dapsone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder with limited therapeutic guidance available due to its rarity and complex presentation. This comprehensive analysis evaluates the therapeutic outcomes of 67 published patients, emphasising the significant role of dapsone as the first‐line treatment.

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Novel Sulfur‐Rich Polymers from Inverse Vulcanization as Functional Building Blocks for Photonics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Isopropenyl aromatic comonomers, in particular novel 2,7‐diisopropenylfluorene and 2,8‐diisopropenyldibenzothiophene, synthesized by sustainable, facile, single‐step SMCCR from available brominated substrates are exploited in the Inverse Vulcanization process to obtain functional Sulfur‐rich macromolecular materials.

Differential item functioning due to gender between depression and anxiety items among Chilean adolescents [PDF]

, 2012
Although much is known about the higher prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders among adolescent females, less is known about the differential item endorsement due to gender in items of commonly scales used to measure anxiety and depression.

GABA+‐Edited Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Deep Learning Quality Assessment Framework

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Motivated by the need to improve GABA+‐edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) quality, we developed a three‐module framework to improve transient averaging based on quality. We hypothesized that training a deep learning (DL) model to differentiate spectrum quality could improve transient averaging compared to traditional ...

Rational Polygons as Rotation Sets of Generic Homeomorphisms of the Two-Torus [PDF]

, 2012
We prove the existence of an open and dense set D\subset? Homeo0(T2) (set of toral homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity) such that the rotation set of any element in D is a rational polygon.

Diagnostic accuracy of (1→3)-β-D-glucan to predict Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in non-HIV-infected patients

Radiology and Oncology, 2020
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a common and potentially fatal opportunistic infection in immunocompromised non-HIV individuals. There are problems with clinical and diagnostic protocols for PCP that lack sensitivity and specificity.
