Sensitive Questions in Online Surveys: An Experimental Comparison of the RRT and the Crosswise Model

, 2013
Self-administered online surveys provide a higher level of privacy protection to respondents than surveys administered by an interviewer. Yet, studies show that asking sensitive questions is problematic also in self-administered mode. Because respondents

Synthesis, Solubilization, and Photophysical Properties of Polyfluorinated Pentacene Dimers

Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry, Volume 39, Issue 7, July 2026.
The synthesis and photophysical analysis of polyfunctionalized pentacene dimers is described. Polyfluorination is employed to modulate the polarizability and to investigate the effects on the mechanism of singlet fission (SF). ABSTRACT A polyfluorinated pentacene dimer, linked with a 1,3‐diethynylphenylene spacer, was synthesized to investigate the ...

Reductive Methylation: An Alternative to Lysine → Arginine Mutagenesis

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Replacing lysine with arginine, the standard genetic approach to eliminate amine reactivity, alters physicochemical properties and leaves the N terminus unprotected. Here, reductive methylation is characterized as a conservative chemical alternative. Complete dimethylation of human ribonucleases preserves thermostability, protein–protein interaction ...

Impact of Renal Replacement Therapy on Outcomes of Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure: A Cohort Study

International Journal of Hepatology
Despite the promising role of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in acute liver failure (ALF), high-risk patients need liver transplantation and remain at risk for death due to cerebral complications.

IBPF-RRT*: An improved path planning algorithm with Ultra-low number of iterations and stabilized optimal path quality

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences
Due to its asymptotic optimality, the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree star (RRT*) algorithm is widely used for robotic operations in complex environments. However, the RRT* algorithm suffers from poor path quality, slow convergence, and unstable generation

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Paracetamol in Malaysian Patients With Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Paracetamol may improve renal function in patients with severe Plasmodium knowlesi malaria, particularly in those with acute kidney injury and hemolysis, via inhibition of cell‐free hemoglobin mediated oxidative kidney damage. We developed a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model to assess effects of paracetamol on creatinine,

Contrast‐enhanced CT—Nephrotoxic or not? A critical review of propensity‐score‐adjusted studies

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 300, Issue 1, Page 5-25, July 2026.
Abstract Retrospective, propensity‐score‐adjusted (PSA) studies have indicated to practitioners in the field that contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) after contrast‐enhanced CT (CECT) is of minor importance or even non‐existent. This has led to controversies between clinicians demanding CECT not to miss any diagnoses and radiologists reluctant ...

Fungicidal Activity and In Silico Studies of Triazoles Derived From Glycerol Against Neocosmospora falciformis, A Causal Agent of Guava Tree Decline

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
Among seventeen 1,2,3‐triazoles synthetized from glycerol (4a–4q), compound 4l completely inhibited mycelial growth and eliminated N. falciformis spores at 1,000 µg/mL, exhibiting enhanced antifungalactivity and strong binding within the FsCYP51 active site, which highlights its promise as a lead candidate for antifungal development in both biological ...

A 2D path-planning performance comparison of RRT and RRT* for unmanned ground vehicle

In recent years, path-planning has gained significant attention as mobile robots are used in various applications. Several factors determine the optimal path for a mobile robot, including accuracy, length of path, execution time, and turns.
