Donor Properties of the Vanadyl Ion:  Reactions of Vanadyl Salicylaldimine β-Ketimine and Acetylacetonato Complexes with Groups 14 and 15 Lewis Acids by B. Cashin (2964237)

“…Coordination of water trans to a vanadyl oxygen that is involved in a donor bond to tin or lead has little or no effect on the vanadyl bond length but results in a marked movement of vanadium toward the basal plane and a decrease of the VOD (D = Sn or Pb) bond angle by as much as 13°, the latter reflecting a loss of multiple bond character of the vanadyl bond. …”

Social Determinants of the Lung Cancer Care Continuum by Cherie P Erkmen (11576761)

“…For example, smoking increases the risk of getting lung cancer by 10x, and those in lower income brackets and of lower education level are 2 to 3 times more likely to be smokers.2,3 Though annual lung cancer screening can decrease mortality4, minority and underserved populations are less likely to participate in screening and less likely to follow-up after a baseline scan.5-7 Low participation and compliance with lung cancer screening creates a missed opportunity to reduce mortality among these populations, thus exacerbating lung cancer disparity.7 Even when diagnosed, African Americans and those in the lowest socioeconomic quartile have significantly lower survival from lung cancer compared to others.8,9 This work details how disparities along the continuum of lung cancer care result in higher and morbidity.…”

Characterization of Heterogeneity and Dynamics of Lysis of Single Bacillus subtilis Cells upon Prophage Induction During Spore Germination, Outgrowth, and Vegetative Growth Using R... by Mei-yan Wu (9921201)

“…Major findings of this work are as follows: (i) After addition of xylose to trigger prophage induction, the intensities of Raman spectral bands associated with nucleic acids of single cells in induced cultures gradually fell to zero, in contrast to the much smaller changes in protein band intensities and no changes in nucleic acid bands in uninduced cultures; (ii) the nucleic acid band intensities from an individual induced cell exhibited a rapid decrease, following a long lag period; (iii) after the addition of nutrient-rich medium with xylose, single spores underwent a long period (228 ± 41.4 min) for germination, outgrowth, and vegetative growth, followed by a short period of cell burst in 1.5 ± 0.8 min at a cell length of 8.2 ± 5.5 μm; (iv) the latent time (<i>T</i>_latent) between the addition of xylose and the start of cell burst was heterogeneous in cell populations; however, the period (Δ<i>T</i>_burst) from the latent time to the completion of cell lysis was quite small; (v) in a poor medium with l-alanine alone, addition of xylose caused prophage induction following spore germination but with longer <i>T</i>_latent and Δ<i>T</i>_burst times and without cell elongation; (vi) spontaneous prophage induction and lysis of individual cells from spores in a minimal nutrient medium were observed without xylose addition, and cell length prior to cell lysis was ∼4.1 μm, but spontaneous prophage induction was not observed in a rich medium; (vii) in a rich medium, addition of xylose at a time well after spore germination and outgrowth significantly shortened the average <i>T</i>_latent time. …”
