Strengthened inter‐chain π–π contacts in amorphous diketopyrrolopyrrole polymers for robust flexible organic thin‐film transistors

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Vinylene‐linked DPP polymers with expanded thiophene donors achieve strengthened interchain π‐π stacking in near‐amorphous films, enabling high charge mobility and outstanding mechanical stability for flexible organic thin‐film transistors. Abstract Flexible organic thin‐film transistors (OTFTs) based on multi‐vinylene‐linked diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)

Patient satisfaction after retropubic and transobturator slings: first assessment using the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire (IOQ) [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction and hypothesis: The aim of the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire (IOQ) is to assess quality of life and patient-reported outcome after midurethral slings. Methods: In this retrospective study, 626 patients with a minimum follow-up period of

Retropubic versus transobturator slings: Medium‐term satisfaction and overactive bladder outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study compares medium‐term outcomes of retropubic tension‐free vaginal tape (TVT) and transobturator tape (TOT) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), focusing on patient satisfaction and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Methods This prospective, single‐surgeon cohort study included women with SUI who underwent TVT or TOT at a

Primary transmissible venereal tumour in the nasal cavity of two dogs [PDF]

, 2004
Transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) is a common tumour affecting dogs especially strays. Usually, the external genitalia is most frequently affected. Although there are reports of extra-genitalia TVT (usually secondary), incidence in the nasal cavity as ...

An advection-robust Hybrid High-Order method for the Oseen problem [PDF]

, 2018
In this work, we study advection-robust Hybrid High-Order discretizations of the Oseen equations. For a given integer $k\ge 0$, the discrete velocity unknowns are vector-valued polynomials of total degree $\le k$ on mesh elements and faces, while the ...

Resonant X‐Ray Diffraction of Conjugated Polymers at the Selenium K‐Edge

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Analogous to isomorphous replacement used in X‐ray crystallography studies of proteins, substituting sulfur for selenium in conjugated polymers enables resonant diffraction studies of molecular packing down to the length scale of π‐‐π stacking. Two selenium‐containing polymers are studied with a comparison made between sulfur K‐edge and selenium K‐edge

The biharmonic homotopy problem for unit vector fields on 2-tori

, 2018
The bienergy of smooth maps between Riemannian manifolds, when restricted to unit vector fields, yields two different variational problems depending on whether one takes the full functional or just the vertical contribution. Their critical points, called
