Summary: A chiral Cu(i)-bisoxazoline complex was used to catalyze the enantioselective electrophilic fluorination of 3-indolinone-2-carboxylates with NFSI, resulting in the production of chiral 2-fluoro-3-indolinone-2-carboxylates in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. This marks the first report of enantioselective fluorination of 2-substituted 3-indolinones using a chiral Cu(i)-bisoxazoline complex.

Summary: (1 -> 3)-beta-glucan (BDG) testing has been used as an adjunct in the diagnosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) for nearly three decades, showing high negative predictive value but potential false positives due to contamination and mucosal barrier injury. Understanding non-IFD causes of elevated circulating BDG, such as iatrogenic contamination and Nocardia sp. infection, can improve the planning and interpretation of BDG assays.

Summary: In scalar electrodynamics, we investigate vortices and calculate the leading quantum corrections to their energies for the BPS case where the Higgs and gauge fields have identical classical masses. We find that the quantum corrections are negative and scale approximately linearly with the winding number n, indicating that combined vortices are preferred over isolated ones in both dimensionalities D^(1/4)2 and D^(1/4)3.

Summary: Natural product-based structural templates play a crucial role in small molecule drug discovery, and new biogenic natural products provide potential leads and molecular targets for anti-analgesic activity. A new 3',4',6'-triacetylated-glucoside obtained from Ficus populifolia showed strong potential as an analgesic agent, but further in vivo evaluation is needed due to issues with the yield of the product. Nonetheless, the F. populifolia extract exhibited significant analgesic potency in acetic acid-induced writhing and hot-plate methods.

Summary: We report the near-infrared polarimetric observations of RCW 120, which reveal the magnetic field structure for the first time. The global magnetic field is aligned along a direction of 20 degrees, parallel to the Galactic plane, with a plane-of-sky strength of 100 +/- 26 mu G. The magnetic field around the eastern shell appears to have been compressed by the neighboring H ii region, causing the observed elongation of RCW 120. The presence of a strong magnetic field reduces the efficiency of triggered star formation compared to hydrodynamic estimates, but it can still occur in the direction along the magnetic field.

Summary: Natural products from microorganisms play a significant role in drug discovery. This study focuses on uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces globisporus C-1027, and attempts to activate these clusters to explore unknown products. By overexpressing regulators in cluster 26, the transcriptional upregulation of biosynthetic genes was achieved, leading to the identification of three ortho-methyl phenyl alkenoic acids. This study demonstrates that overexpression of cluster-situated regulators is an effective strategy to connect orphan biosynthetic gene clusters with their products.

Summary: The study focuses on understanding the initial stages of star formation through investigating the physical and chemical properties of gas infall motion in molecular clumps. The FTS wide-sideband mode of the IRAM 30-m telescope was used to observe nine infall sources with significant double-peaked blue line profiles. Molecular line data was obtained, and multiple molecules and isotopic transition lines were identified in these sources. Chemical simulations were used to fit the observed molecular abundances, indicating that most sources are in the early HMPO stage with temperatures around several 10 K.

Summary: Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology, while promising for global spacing cooling, faces limitations in practical application due to reduced cooling effectiveness caused by wear and dirt contamination. Researchers have developed a renewable armor structure using fluorinated hollow glass microspheres to enhance the anti-fouling and cooling properties of PDRC coatings. The coatings exhibit high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, leading to significant temperature reduction below ambient temperature.
