DFAs and PFAs with Long Shortest Synchronizing Word Length
, 2017 It was conjectured by \v{C}ern\'y in 1964, that a synchronizing DFA on $n$ states always has a shortest synchronizing word of length at most $(n-1)^2$, and he gave a sequence of DFAs for which this bound is reached.

Emerging and legacy PFAS and cytokine homeostasis in women of childbearing age
Scientific Reports, 2022 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread chemicals. Legacy PFAS have been phased out of production in most developed countries and emerging PFAS (short-chain PFAS and polyfluorinated compounds) are used as legacy PFAS alternatives.
