Ghosting is a popular term in mass media that has continued to baffle many with its ambiguity as dissolution strategy. Multiple studies the past have explored ghosting within romantic relationships, examining how this strategy impacted two parties involved: initiator (ghoster) and non-initiator (ghostee). However, it been stated can exist outside of relationships may also occur friendships or e...

Abstract Catalytic/initiated cracking of endothermic hydrocarbon fuels is an effective technology for cooling a hypersonic aircraft with high Mach number (over 5). Catalysts and initiators can promote fuel at low temperatures, increase conversion the heat sink capacity, suppress coke deposition, thereby reducing waste heat. mainly include metal oxide catalysts, noble catalysts nanoparticles, ze...

To modify the surface properties of inorganic materials, we successfully covalently attached a stable monolayer, with high grafting density, of N,N(diethyl)dithiocarbamoylbenzyl(trimethoxy)silane on the surface of silicon wafers and glass substrates, thereby creating a surface-grafted photoinitiator for “living” free radical photopolymerization. The surface-grafted initiators were utilized for ...

Abstract Most national level referendums in Europe since 1793 are initiated either by political elites or citizens. It remains unclear why these two types of initiators call for referendums. This article aims to explain under what circumstances and citizens on domestic policies. The analysis is conducted at country using an original data set that covers 461 between 2019. tests the influence fou...

Two very rapid yttrium initiators for lactide polymerisation are reported; the nuclearity (monomer vs. dimer) of the initiator controls the stereochemistry of the polylactide produced.

(Diamine)Pd(0)(dichlone)/NaBPh 4 systems have been revealed to be effective initiators for diazoacetate polymerization, yielding moderately syndiotactic polymers in moderate yields.

Quantum-chemical calculations and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that polysaccharides are able to adsorb mononucleotides due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. The subsequent dehydration of polysaccharide-nucleotide complexes in the physiologically acceptable temperature range results in the creation of “correct” DNA polymers that are “recognized” by the specific DNA-polymerases. DNA f...

INTRODUCTION Several pharmacologic treatments are available for fibromyalgia, but little is known about the comparative effectiveness of these treatments on health care utilization. METHODS Using US commercial insurance claims data (covering 2007 to 2009), we conducted a cohort study to examine the comparative effectiveness of amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin, and pregabalin on health ca...

BACKGROUND Preclinical and observational studies raise the concern about the safety of insulin glargine in terms of cancer initiation and promotion. This study is designed to examine cancer incidence associated with use of insulin glargine vs. intermediate/long-acting human insulin (HI). METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study using the Taiwan National Health Insurance claims database was co...

BACKGROUND The flexibility of implantable neural probes has increased during the last 10 years, starting with stiff materials such as silicone to more flexible materials like polyimide. We have developed a novel polymer based on Off-Stoichiometry Thiol-Enes + Epoxy (OSTE+, consisting of a thiol, two allyls, an epoxy resin and two initiators), which is up to 100 times more flexible than polyimid...
