The pre-assembly and post-assembly approaches in the functionalization of a polyoxovanadate-organic cuboid, [{VS}(QPTC){V}], are discussed. We have shown that the two pathways have led to distinctly different systems, with either an expanded or contracted interior void space, when phenylphosphonate is introduced at different stages of the self-assembly. One leaves the cuboid framework largely intact, whereas the other results in a compact, twisted cuboid. Kinetic factors will have to be considered in the equilibrium of these complex processes. Furthermore, the exceptional stability of these polyoxometalate-organic systems facilitates mass spectrometric characterization, which confirms the composition of the complexes and also indicates that the methoxide groups on the vanadium cluster nodes are labile. The results will help deepen the mechanistic understanding of the formation mechanisms of polyoxovanadate-based metal-organic cages and other functionalized polyoxovanadate clusters in general.

Unlabelled: In this work, we present an optimized nanopore long-read only sequencing workflow for epidemiologic analysis of clonal outbreaks built with open-source tools. A set of unrelated clinical isolates ( = 10) was chosen for workflow optimization, and sequencing libraries were prepared using a modified rapid barcoding strategy that incorporates temperature ramps to improve performance for high-GC content genomes. Sequencing data were used to benchmark the performance of the dorado suite (v0.

Black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) vocalisations remain plastic throughout their lifespans. Although fledglings employ vocal plasticity to refine their vocalisations through the use of tutor mimicry, adults employ vocal plasticity to create unique population dialects. Vocal convergence is one mechanism by which flockmates' vocalisations become increasingly similar to each other and distinct from the calls of other flocks.

Purpose: Assistive device non-use among individuals with disabilities is often attributed to issues in service provision and user satisfaction with assistive devices. However, systematic research on the service quality and satisfaction of assistive devices among disabled populations is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the service delivery and satisfaction of assistive devices among individuals with disabilities.

Background: With the rapid increase in genome sequencing projects for non-model organisms, numerous genome assemblies are currently in progress or available as drafts, but not made available as satisfactory, usable genomes. Data quality assessment of genome assemblies is gaining importance not only for people who perform the assembly/re-assembly processes, but also for those who attempt to use assemblies as maps in downstream analyses. Recent studies of the quality control, quality evaluation/ assessment of genome assemblies have focused on either quality control of reads before assemblies or evaluation of the assemblies with respect to their contiguity and correctness.
