Multi-sample/multi-nucleus parallel polarization and monitoring enabled by a fluid path technology compatible cryogenic probe for dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

Andrea Capozzi, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê

Low throughput is one of dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (dDNP) main shortcomings. Especially for clinical and preclinical applications, where direct 13C nuclei polarization is usually pursued, it takes hours to generate one single hyperpolarized ...

Dynamical Control of Nuclear Isomer Depletion via Electron Vortex Beams

Fabrizio Carbone, Simone Gargiulo

Some nuclear isomers are known to store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a very high energy-to-mass ratio. Here, we describe a protocol to achieve the external control of the isomeric nuclear decay by using electron vortex beams who ...

Tuning the Size and Geometry of Heteroleptic Coordination Cages by Varying the Ligand Bent Angle

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Rujin Li

Spherical assemblies of the type [PdnL2n]2n+ can be obtained from PdII salts and curved N-donor ligands, L. It is well established that the bent angle, α, of the ligand is a decisive factor in the self-assembly process, with larger angles leading to comple ...

Large scale extreme risk assessment using copulas: an application to drought events under climate change for Austria

Anna Timonina-Farkas

Droughts pose a significant challenge to farmers, insurers as well as governments around the world and the situation is expected to worsen in the future due to climate change. We present a large scale drought risk assessment approach that can be used for c ...

Emergence in extinction of enhanced and persistent responding to ambiguous aversive cues is associated with high MAOA activity in the prelimbic cortex

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Guillaume Poirier

There is a great deal of individual variability in the emotional outcomes of potentially traumatic events, and the underlying mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. In order to further our understanding of individual trajectories to trauma, its vu ...

Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Ultrafast Phenomena

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Thomas James Penfold, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni, Andrey Laktionov

A thorough theoretical description of ultrafast phenomena that occur in complex systems constitutes a formidable challenge. It not only necessitates the use of quantum mechanical methods that can describe ground and possibly even electronically excited sta ...

Cellular uptake and subcellular distribution of ruthenium-based metallodrugs under clinical investigation versus cisplatin

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl

The cellular uptake and subcellular distribution including adduct formation with genomic DNA and uptake into mitochondria of two ruthenium(III)-based drugs in clinical trials, KP1019 and NAMI-A, and cisplatin, was investigated in cisplatin sensitive and re ...

Mixed quantum-classical dynamics with time-dependent external fields: A time-dependent density-functional-theory approach

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod

A mixed quantum-classical method aimed at the study of nonadiabatic dynamics in the presence of external electromagnetic fields is developed within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. To this end, we use a trajectory-based descriptio ...

Analysis of nano-sized irradiation-induced defects in Fe-base materials by means of small angle neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulations

Gang Yu

Thermonuclear fusion of light atoms is considered since decades as an unlimited, safe and reliable source of energy that could eventually replace classical sources based on fossile fuel or nuclear fuel. Fusion reactor technology and materials studies are i ...
