Azide terminally functional poly(methyl methacrylate)s (Mn = 4000-6000, PDI = 1.21-1.28) have been prepared by living radical polymerization and successfully reacted with alkynes in a Huisgen cycloaddition (click) reaction in one pot using the same catalyst for both processes.

We report here on a series of tricyanovinylaniline chromophores for use as dopants in poled poly(methyl methacrylate)waveguides for anomalous dispersion phase-matched second harmonic generation. Second harmonic generation measurements as a function of mode index confirmed anomalous dispersion phase-matching efficiencies as large as 245%/Wcm over a propagation length of about 35 μm. The waveguid...

We have discovered a novel polyomavirus present in multiple human stool samples. The virus was initially identified by shotgun pyrosequencing of DNA purified from virus-like particles isolated from a stool sample collected from a healthy child from Malawi. We subsequently sequenced the virus' 4,927-bp genome, which has been provisionally named MW polyomavirus (MWPyV). The virus has genomic feat...

Wood packaging represents a pathway for the introduction and spread of pests. In March 2002, the Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.) issued some regulations describing globally approved phytosanitary measures that significantly reduce the risk provoked by most of pests. The main purpose of this work is to describe the disinfesting system of pallets through the microwaves treatment.

Background & objectives: Cell phone microwave (MW) is one of the most harmful physical agents in modern society. This study was designed to determine the effects of exposure to cell phone microwaves on mice sperm morphologic indices. Methods: Animals were divided into two groups including: Microwave (MW) (n=6; exposed to 950-MHz cell phone MW with 5 W output power density and 200 KHz modulatio...

We use the Fitmaker tool to incorporate recent CDF measurement of $m_W$ in a global fit electroweak, Higgs, and diboson data Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) including dimension-6 operators at linear order. find that any one SMEFT ${\cal O}_{HWB}$, O}_{HD}$, O}_{\ell \ell}$ or O}_{H \ell}^{(3)}$ with non-zero coefficient could provide better than Model, strongest pull for O}_{HD}$ ...
