Microlearning has been predicted as a promising learning trend to cope with the rapidly changing world. The technology-mediated short form of also received language partitioners’ and researchers’ interest in adopting microlearning education. Notably, most existing studies focused on vocabulary or structural instead presenting micro-contents micro-activities holistically. This study proposes str...

Excitation energy transfer can be unusually efficient and structurally robust when mediated by molecular excitons, which arise in a photosynthetic light-harvesting protein delocalized excitations of the electronic chromophores are created upon absorption light. Here we report results from two-dimensional spectroscopy structure calculations, revealing that excitation is transferred between perid...

The (2-pyridyl)sulfonyl group was found to be a multifunctional group in the preparation of structurally diverse fluorinated products. It not only facilitates the copper-mediated (or catalyzed) cross-coupling reaction between α-fluoro sulfone 4a and aryl iodides, but also enables further transformations of the coupling products 2.

Brain regions that are structurally connected might become functionally connected by synchronization in the gamma-frequency band. In a recent issue of Nature, Colgin et al. show spatially and temporally fine-grained gamma-band synchronization between different parts of the rat hippocampal formation, suggesting a theta-modulated switching of gamma-mediated communication.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC), such as email, instant messaging, and online texting, is an important channel for influencing message receivers’ behavior. While most communication media are structurally biased to support either interpersonal or broadcast modes of communication, CMC can support both. Because of this we argue that receivers are likely to comply with a CMC message based on ...

We have found a Tf(2)O-mediated intramolecular cyclization reaction and have revealed an intriguing stereoselectivity and a regioselectivity during the preparation of intermediate alcohols, which allow for the tailor-made synthesis of various backbone-substituted imidazolinium salts, and structurally specific syn-4,5-disubstituted imidazolinium salts.
