The authors examined how time orientation and morningness–eveningness relate to 2 forms of procrastination: indecision and avoidant forms.

Results showed that morningness was negatively rel...

We have conducted a combined experimental and theoretical study on the optimization of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) as organic semiconductor. While orientations with high electronic coupling are unfavorable in the native liquid crystalline phase of HBC, we enforced such orientations by applying external constraints. To this end, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were formed by a non-convent...

Since it can be acquired by a conventional X-ray imaging system, dark-field imaging has great potential for medical diagnosis. Howeve...
