Summary: Pick's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by dementia, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and the aggregation of 3R tau inclusions. Due to its rarity, the disease remains understudied and its etiology and pathomechanisms are yet to be elucidated. The study of Pick's disease and the unique 3R tau accumulation it presents is crucial for improving the understanding of the disease and guiding future research and therapeutic development.

Summary: In the plasmon-emitter strong coupling systems, the coherence is significantly affected by the decoherence. A theoretical proposal of introducing cavity modes with moderate quality factors, called 'cavity SHB', is presented to enhance the coherence of the system. By introducing two cavity modes with opposite detunings, the excited-state population of the emitter is enhanced by 4.5 orders of magnitude and the attenuation is slowed down by about 56 times. This proposal provides a new approach for cavity engineering in order to enhance the plasmon-emitter strong coupling systems' coherence.

Summary: While the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines was rapid, challenges in development and implementation remain. Trained immunity through BCG vaccination offers a potential intervention to protect vulnerable populations and preserve health system capacity before targeted vaccines are available.

Summary: This article introduces a subset of idempotent functions that is both a bisemilattice and a Birkhoff system under the join- and meet-convolution operations. It shows that this subset is a bounded distributive lattice under the convolution operations, regardless of whether the domain lattice of the lattice functions is distributive. This solves the first open problem raised by De Miguel et al. (2018).

Summary: By hybridizing a plasmonic nanocavity with an emitter ensemble and burning two narrow spectral holes in the spectral density of the emitter ensemble, the coherent time of Rabi oscillation for the hybrid system is increased tenfold, effectively suppressing decoherence and advancing practical quantum applications of plasmonic systems.

Summary: According to Wasserman, endurantism lacks explanatory power due to circularity or rejection of perdurantist's explanation. This paper challenges Wasserman's argument by proposing locational notions to address his complaint. It provides technical notions, presents an immune phrasing of endurantism, and proves that additional conceptions can be derived. This demonstrates the explanatory potential of endurantism.

Summary: In the spring of 217 BCE, shortly after Hannibal's famous elephantborne crossing of the Alps, the general was afflicted by an acute, painful eye condition that resulted in permanent unilateral loss of vision in 1 eye. The condition has not been adequately explained and it is suggested that keratitis from waterborne organisms might provide the best answer to this ancient enigma.

Summary: A four-level Doppler broadened atom configuration is utilized to modify rotary photon drag in the region of spectral hole burning. The collective phase of the control fields has a significant impact on the number of spectral holes and enables control of complete phase-induced transparency. The study reveals the considerable enhancement of photon drag under specific parameter ranges.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of dronabinol as a cure for dengue and zika virus infections. Various experiments and analyses were performed to analyze the binding ability of dronabinol to viral proteins and its impact on viral replication. The results demonstrate that dronabinol has a strong binding affinity with the helicase proteins of dengue and zika viruses and can interfere with the binding of these proteins to RNA. Furthermore, dronabinol exhibits favorable drug-likeness, ADMET properties, and target prediction results. In vitro studies are recommended to further explore the potential of dronabinol as a medicinal treatment for these viral infections.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of chemical degradation on membrane structure and properties of reinforced Nafion(TM) XL membrane compared to unreinforced Nafion(TM) NR211 membrane using Fenton's reagents. Results showed that both XL and NR211 membranes undergo chemical decomposition at different rates, with the XL membrane demonstrating greater stability. However, the effects on water sorption and transport properties were found to be negligible for both membranes.

Summary: The antiphase character of PHIP associated signals after a hydrogenation reaction is highly sensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneities and interference from resonance lines of thermally polarized spins. Using a multi-pulse acquisition approach like PhD-PHIP can improve information related to hyperpolarized spins in complex J-coupling networks involving former parahydrogen nuclei.

Summary: Alkanes interactions with silica mesopores walls affect geometric tortuosity measurements, with adsorption energy depending on molecular length and shape, and weighted energy correlating with pore diameter. Accuracy of geometric tortuosity determination using this methodology is found to be impacted for pore diameters smaller than approximately 6 nm.

Summary: The determination of the abundances of CHx, C = O, and aromatic groups in chondritic Insoluble Organic Matter (IOM) and coals by Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was carried out in this study. A calibration approach based on a C-13 synthetic model material was used, and the ratios of the cross-sections of these groups were determined. The study found discrepancies in the estimation of aliphatic to aromatic carbon and aliphatic to carbonyl ratio, possibly due to the control of absorption cross-section by the local molecular environment. In coals, the integrated cross-section ratio varied with vitrinite reflectance, with local oxygen speciation playing a critical role in this variation.
