The current direct measurements of k1 at temperatures above 460 K, the only ones to date, provide an experimental dataset for use in combustion and volcanic plume modeling and an experimental basis to test theoretical calculations.A convenient approach to 2-(1-ethoxyalkoxy)-3-cyanoquinolines (in up to 50% yields) has been developed. The approach comprises functionalization of quinolines with acetals of cyanopropargylic alcohols (KOH/H2O/MeCN, 55-60 °C) followed by their transformation to furo[3,4-b]quinolinones (in up to 98% yields) via the sequential removal of acetal protection and intramolecular cyclization/hydration (7% aqueous HCl, acetone, 20-25 °C).Out of the different structural phases of molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2), the distorted octahedral 1T' possesses great interest for fundamental physics and is a promising candidate for the implementation of innovative devices such as topological transistors. Indeed, 1T'-MoTe2 is a semimetal with superconductivity, which has been predicted to be a Weyl semimetal and a quantum spin Hall insulator in bulk and monolayer form, respectively. Large instability of monolayer 1T'-MoTe2 in environmental conditions, however, has made its investigation extremely challenging so far. In this work, we demonstrate homogeneous growth of large single-crystal (up to 500 μm) monolayer 1T'-MoTe2 via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and its stabilization in air with a scalable encapsulation approach. The encapsulant is obtained by electrochemically delaminating CVD hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) from copper foil, and it is applied on the freshly grown 1T'-MoTe2 via a top-down dry lamination step. The structural and electrical properties of encapsulated 1T'-MoTe2 have been monitored over several months to assess the degree of degradation of the material. We find that when encapsulated with hBN, the lifetime of monolayer 1T'-MoTe2 successfully increases from a few minutes to more than a month. Furthermore, the encapsulated monolayer can be subjected to transfer, device processing, and heating and cooling cycles without degradation of its properties. The potential of this scalable heterostack is confirmed by the observation of signatures of low-temperature phase transition in monolayer 1T'-MoTe2 by both Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements. Roscovitine inhibitor The growth and encapsulation methods reported in this work can be employed for further fundamental studies of this enticing material as well as facilitate the technological development of monolayer 1T'-MoTe2.Crustacean hyperglycemic hormones (CHHs) are a family of neuropeptides that were discovered in multiple tissues in crustaceans, but the function of most isoforms remains unclear. Functional discovery often requires comprehensive qualitative profiling and quantitative analysis. The conventional enzymatic digestion method has several limitations, such as missing post-translational modification (PTM) information, homology interference, and incomplete sequence coverage. Herein, by using a targeted top-down method, facilitated by higher sensitivity instruments and hybrid fragmentation modes, we achieved the characterization of two CHH isoforms from the sinus glands (SG-CHH) and the pericardial organs (PO-CHH) from the Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, with improved sequence coverage compared to earlier studies. In this study, both label-free and isotopic labeling approaches were adopted to monitor the response of CHHs and CHH precursor-related peptide (CPRP) under low pH stress. The identical trends of CPRP and CHH expression indicated that CPRP could serve as an ideal probe in tracking the CHH expression level changes, which would greatly simplify the quantitative analysis of large peptides. Furthermore, the distinct patterns of changes in the expression of CHHs in the SG and the PO suggested their tissue-specific functions in the regulation of low pH stress. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) was also employed in this study to provide conformation analysis of both CHHs and CPRPs from different tissues.Control of the spectral overlap between energy donors and acceptors provides insight into excitation energy transfer (EET) mechanisms in photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins. Substitution of energy-donating B800 bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a with other pigments in the light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) of purple photosynthetic bacteria has been extensively performed; however, most studies on the B800 substitution have focused on the decrease in the spectral overlap integral with energy-accepting B850 BChl a by reconstitution of chlorophylls into the B800 site. Here, we reconstitute BChl b into the B800 site of the LH2 protein from Rhodoblastus acidophilus to increase the spectral overlap with B850 BChl a. BChl b in the B800 site had essentially the same hydrogen-bonding pattern as B800 BChl a, whereas it showed a red-shifted Qy absorption band at 831 nm. The EET rate from BChl b to B850 BChl a in the reconstituted LH2 was similar to that of native LH2 despite the red shift of the Qy band of the energy donor. These results demonstrate the importance of the contribution of the density of excitation states of the B850 circular assembly, which incorporates higher lying optically forbidden states, to intracomplex EET in LH2.Agglomerates of polar molecules in nonpolar solvents are selectively heated by microwave radiation. The magnitude of the selective heating was directly measured by using the temperature dependence of the intensities of the Stokes and anti-Stokes bands in the Raman spectra of p-nitroanisole (pNA) and mesitylene. Under dynamic heating conditions, a large apparent temperature difference (ΔT) of over 100 °C was observed between the polar pNA solute and the nonpolar mesitylene solvent. This represents the first direct measurement of the selective microwave heating process. The magnitude of the selective microwave heating was affected by the properties of the agglomerated pNA. As the concentration of the pNA increases, the magnitude of the selective heating of the pNA was observed to decrease. This is explained by the tendency of the pNA dipoles to orient in an antiparallel fashion in the aggregates as measured by the Kirkwood g value, which decreased with increasing concentration. This effect reduces the net dipole moment of the agglomerates, which decreases the microwave absorption.
