Apr 28, 2020
BACKGROUND: Post-operative pulmonary complications (POPC) are common, predictable and associated with increased morbidity and mortality, independent of pre-operative risk. Interventions to reduce the incidence of POPC have been...
Dynamic Interfacial Adhesion through Cucurbit[n]uril Molecular Recognition.
Supramolecular building blocks, such as cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n])-based host-guest complexes, have been extensively studied at the nano- and microscale as adhesion promoters. Herein, we exploit a new class of CB[n]-threaded highly...

Jan 06, 2020
Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) mediated assembly of extended aryl viologens (EVs) into optically tunable dimers is reported for the first time. We show that the modular design and synthesis of a new class of π-conjugated viologen...
The Temperature Role in the Manufacturing of an Electrode for Supercapacitors with Carbon Black and Graphene Oxide
Supercapacitors (SCs) are energy storage devices with a growing interest thanks to their high-power charge and discharge process and long-cycle life. Their main drawback, when compared to more common devices such as batteries...
Host-Guest Chemistry Meets Electrocatalysis

Hybrid organic-inorganic supramolecular hydrogel reinforced with CePO4 nanowires
We report a method to enhance the stiffness in the rheological yield strain of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-based hydrogels by introducing inorganic nanowires (NWs) into the supramolecular networks. The supramolecular hydrogel is...
Are biologics more effective than corticosteroids for intra‐articular treatment of osteoarthritis?
Summary: Intra‐articular corticosteroids are an effective treatment for equine osteoarthritis, however, there is increasing evidence for the effectiveness of other treatments such as biologics. Whilst current evidence does...
Tough Supramolecular Polymer Networks with Extreme Stretchability and Fast Room-Temperature Self-Healing.
Recent progress on highly tough and stretchable polymer networks has highlighted the potential of wearable electronic devices and structural biomaterials such as cartilage. For some given applications, a combination of desirable...
Synesthetic hallucinations induced by psychedelic drugs in a congenitally blind man
This case report offers rare insights into crossmodal responses to psychedelic drug use in a congenitally blind (CB) individual as a form of synthetic synesthesia. BP's personal experience provides us with a unique report on...
A review of the introduced smooth-billed ani Crotophaga ani in Galápagos
The smooth-billed ani (Crotophaga ani) is a widespread introduced bird species in the biologically important archipelago of Galápagos. Many scientists and local people consider it to be a damaging invasive, and it is possible...
Supramolecular encapsulation of redox-active monomers to enable free-radical polymerisation.
Extended polymeric structures based on redox-active species are of great interest in emerging technologies related to energy conversion and storage. However, redox-active monomers tend to inhibit radical polymerisation processes...

Expansion Planning in Distribution Network With DSTATCOM Using Distance-Oriented Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm
This paper intends to consider a multi-objective problem for expansion planning in Power Distribution System (PDS) by focusing on (i) expansion strategy (ii) allocation of Circuit Breaker (CB), (iii) allocation of Distribution...

A Geometric Integration Approach to Nonsmooth, Nonconvex Optimisation
The optimisation of nonsmooth, nonconvex functions without access to
gradients is a particularly challenging problem that is frequently encountered,
for example in model parameter optimisation problems. Bilevel optimisation...

This case report offers rare insights into crossmodal responses to psychedelic drug use in a congenitally blind (CB) individual as a form of synthetic synesthesia. BP's personal experience provides us with a unique report on...
Bregman Itoh–Abe Methods for Sparse Optimisation
In this paper we propose optimisation methods for variational regularisation
problems based on discretising the inverse scale space flow with discrete
gradient methods. Inverse scale space flow generalises gradient flows...
