We emphasize some current needs of astrochemists for laboratory data. The data are urgently required both to detect molecules in assorted regions and to produce robust models of these regions. Three areas of laboratory-based research are particularly crucial and yet are not being studied in the United States: (i) reactions more complex than the formation of molecular hydrogen occurring on inter...

This study examined whether bacterial cell products that might gain access to the intestinal interstitium could activate mouse colonic nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using molecular and electrophysiological recording techniques. Colonic projecting neurons were identified by using the retrograde tracer fast blue and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, adapter proteins M...

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is a unique semiconductingmaterial for solar hydrogen generation applications with a tunable, narrowbandgap that straddles water redox potentials. However, its potential towards efficient solar hydrogen generation has not yet been realized due to low photon-tocurrent conversions, high charge carrier recombination and the lack of controlled preparation methods. In this work...

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index is a first-generation topological index (TI) based on sums over all edges between numbers of edges closer to one endpoint and numbers of edges closer to the other endpoint. Edges at equal distances from the two endpoints are ignored. An analogous definition is valid for the Wiener index W, with the difference that sums are replaced by products. A few other TIs are d...
