Summary: The operation of a dissipative network comprising different crown-ether receptors and an alkali metal cation can be temporally driven using two orthogonal stimuli, light irradiation and the addition of activated carboxylic acid. These stimuli modulate the binding ability of the crown-ethers towards the metal ion, allowing for control over the occupancy of the metal cation over time. The system evolves to out-of-equilibrium states with different metal cation distributions among the receptors, and returns to the initial equilibrium state when the fuel is exhausted or irradiation is interrupted.

Summary: In this study, we analyze the nonadiabatic geometric phase of a doubly driven two-level system with an additional relative phase between the two driving modes. It is found that the system's time evolution strongly depends on this relative phase. The condition for the system to return to its initial state after a single period is determined using the Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg-Majorana destructive interference. The nonadiabatic geometric phase during a cyclic evolution is shown to be related to the Stokes phase and the relative phase. By controlling the relative phase, the geometric phase can characterize two distinct phases in the adiabatic limit.

Summary: Prostaglandins, derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid, have traditionally been associated with inflammation, the reproductive cycle, vasodilation, and bronchoconstriction. Recent studies have also linked them to cancer. Different prostaglandins have varying effects on tumor progression, with some hindering it and others promoting aggressiveness. The use of NSAIDs, especially selective COX-2 inhibitors, may play a crucial role in fighting cancer.

Summary: Defect engineering is important for photocatalytic activity, and this study investigated the effects of different vacancies in Fe3O4 nanoparticles on near-infrared driven photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. Fe3O4-2 with Fe-O-Fe vacancies showed improved electron-hole separation efficiency and enhanced adsorption ability to O-2, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Fe3O4-2 also had a narrow band gap, enhancing NIR light absorption and heat generation, and demonstrated better inactivation efficiency than Fe3O4-1. This study provides new insights into the antibacterial mechanisms of Fe3O4.

Summary: This study examines how investors in the Chinese stock market react to positive and negative news, finding that positive news leads to stock price reversal while negative news results in stock price drift. The attention bias of institutional investors plays a role in the market's absorption process for different types of news, differing from the role of retail investors in the U.S. market. The differences between the two markets are attributed to short-sale constraints inducing attention bias among institutional investors in China. Individual investors are unable to accurately assess news content and instead act as liquidity providers. Market regulation is highlighted as important in the process of investors analyzing information.

Summary: This study explores the relative importance of environmental factors in shaping community composition and functional trait variations in monsoon forests. The results highlight the different strategies adopted by secondary, ecotone, and old growth forests to persist in distinct habitats. Environmental filters play a crucial role in selecting plant species with specific traits and ecological strategies. Analyzing leaf functional traits can enhance our understanding of forest dynamics in tropical monsoon forests.

Summary: This study found that a specific CRISPR-Cas immune system, which is unable to acquire new spacers, can borrow acquisition machinery from another CRISPR-Cas locus to successfully acquire new spacers. These new spacers mainly target the viral genome, supporting the concept of collaboration between different CRISPR-Cas systems.

Summary: Bell states are the most prominent maximally entangled photon states, which exhibit only one type of entanglement in a typical four-level emitter but can reach other types of entanglement with the addition of external driving. Analytical equations are provided to explain the conditions under which different types of entanglement occur, paving the way for controlled manipulation of entanglement type in practical devices.
