The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors’ attention by a concerned reader that certain of the B-scan ocular ultrasound images portraying cardiac function shown in Fig. 4A and B and Fig. 5A were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles published by different authors who were based at different institutions. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published elsewhere prior to its submission to


Single‐crystal X‐ray structure analyses and theoretical studies give evidence of through‐space delocalization of  π‐electrons of peripheral (hetero)aromatic rings in toroidal and [4]catenated topology (light blue rings).Sterically highly crowded and twisted thienylene‐phenylenes are synthesized and structurally characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray structure analyses and theoretical studies give evidence of through‐space delocalization of  More recently, the sophisticated concepts were used by the Müllen group to prepare to date inconceivable structures of defined graphene nanoribbons as a new family of carbon‐based semiconductors via solution and on‐surface chemistry. In contrast to graphene, the band gap in these nanoribbons is opened due to the geometric confinement and therefore can be applied in electronic application such as switches and transistors. A highly challenging project in this category was the synthesis of “phenylogous” model compounds for cubic graphite as hypothetical carbon allotrope which fascinates due to an exceptional 3D structure entirely comprising benzene rings, from which each of them is connected to six other rings. Such a model and precursor subunit of “phenylogous” cubic graphite with the extended hexaphenylbenzene structure 3 was formed in a threefold [4+2]‐cycloaddition of tetracyclone 1 and triply ethynylated quaterphenyl 2 under harsh reaction conditions and isolated in 2% yield besides the doubly reacted product 4 (34% yield) biphenyl 6 also revealed steric hindrance and propeller‐like arrangement of the peripheral thiophene rings, but reduced steric congestion and distortion effects due to the smaller geometric extension of thiophene compared to benzene. Interestingly, through‐space π‐conjugation of the ipso‐carbons in a toroidal and catenated topology has been evidenced from X‐ray structure analysis and theoretical calculations (anisotropy of the induced current density (ACID)) benzene )) Figure1. Furt3 by corresponding thiophene units to result in targeted trigonal thienylene‐phenylene 9  and the pure product was collected in 3% yield as colorless solid. Increased reaction temperature had negative impact and did not lead to higher yields, because the substrates started increased decomposition. As the main product, the doubly reacted 10 was isolated in 54% yield by column chromatography.The preparation of crowded thienylene‐phenylene 9 was assigned by high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), which showed the intense molecular‐ion peak at m/z = 1711.4489  for the β‐protons in 3‐position of the inner three thiophenes is observable .The molecular structure of dendrimer 9 but with an increased ratio of thiophene rings by similar reaction of precursor 8 and tetra(2‐thienyl)cyclopentanone 11 resulted in only the mono‐reacted derivative 12 in low yield  solution. The molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with eight molecules in the unit cell  Å, b = 7.352(3) Å, c = 16.854(8) Å, and α = 90°, β = 100.86(2)°, γ = 90° benzene‐1,3,5‐triyl]tris}trithiophene ll Figure2c. The 8 presents disorder in five of the six thiophene rings due to the possibility of syn‐anti arrangment whereby keeping the same molecular volume. Higher torsion angles between 48.0(2)° and 81.3(2)° were identified for the thiophenes directly attached to the central benzene ring, whereas the thiophenes connected through the ethynylene bridge are closer to planarity by 18.4(2)° to 27.1(2)°  to 1.486(3) Å. These distances are undercut by the ones to the ipso‐C atoms of the ethynyl bridges which lie between 1.433(3) and 1.437(3) Å  Å, b = 8.8041(7) Å, c = 20.8851(9) Å, and α = 104.484(4)°, β  = 97.403(4)°, γ = 92.008(4)°  via [2+2+2+2]‐cycloaddition,[12] was introduced by Reppe et al. and has been intensively investigated since then. Besides nickel, diverse transition metals such as cobalt, rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, and others were used and the general mechanism of the catalytic cycle was established. With this background, we have alternatively applied the Wilkinson catalyst [RhCl(PPh3)3] for the cyclooligomerization of butadiyne 7. As in the case of Co2(CO)8 as catalyst, hexasubstituted benzene 8 was isolated as main product in a moderate yield of 10% besides cyclopentamers 13 after tedious chromatographic work‐up. However, an additional fraction comprising a tetrameric product was isolated in 2% yield which in HRMS showed a molecular ion peak at the mass of a cyclotetramer (m/z = 855.96114)  Å, b = 11.4821(4) Å, c = 19.3739(5) Å, and α = 102.118 (3)°, β = 96.605(3)°, γ = 98.016(3)°. In the refinement of the X‐ray structure, disorder due to syn‐anti‐isomerization in six thiophene rings has been found. Key parameters of the crystal structure refinement are summarized in Table Colorless single crystals of 5‐(thien‐2‐yl)‐4‐(thien‐2‐ylethynyl)‐6‐benzothiophene unit are localized with mean bond alternance of 0.03 Å which is typical for benzo[b]thiophenes  which indicates lack of conjugation between the aromatic rings as a consequence of the crowded structure. On the contrary, the ethynyl‐bridged thiophenes remain closer to planarity (17.1° and 25.4°) with respect to the central benzene ring chromophores is reduced leading to hypsochromically shifted absorption and emission compared to the more planar 8.The optoelectronic properties of twisted phenylene‐thienylene precursor 2.5 The ACID scalar field is interpreted as the density of delocalized electrons and can be plotted as an isosurface buta‐1,3‐diyne 7, tetracyclone 1, and 2,3,4,5‐tetra(2‐thienyl)cyclopenta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐on [1319] were prepared according to literature. Dried tetrahydrofuran  was used from an MB SPS‐800 solvent purification system (MBraun). 1,4‐Dioxane (Merck) was dried over CaH2 and distilled prior to use. DCM, methanol, petroleum ether (PE), and n‐hexane were purchased from VWR and distilled prior to use. n‐Butyl lithium  was purchased from Acros Organics, Co2(CO)8 from Sigma Aldrich. Thin‐layer chromatography was performed on aluminum plates, precoated with silica gel, Merck Si60 F254. Preparative column chromatography was carried out on glass columns packed with silica gel, Merck Silica 60, particle size 40–63 µm. HPLC was performed on a Shimadzu CBM‐20A equipped with an SPD‐20A UV/VIS detector and an LC‐8A solvent system with a Macherey‐Nagel column (Nucleosil 100–5 NO2). NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 400  at 293 K. Chemical shift values (δ) were given in parts per million (ppm) and were calibrated on residual nondeuterated solvent peaks  as an internal standard. The splitting patterns were labeled as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), dd (doublet of doublet), and m (multiplet). Melting points were measured using a Büchi Melting Point M‐565. High‐resolution mass spectra  were recorded on a Bruker Solarix , using trans‐2‐[3‐(4‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐2‐methyl‐2‐propenylidene]malononitrile (DCTB) as a matrix. Elemental analyses were performed on an Elementar Vario EL. UV/Vis absorption spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer Lambda 19 spectrometer. Fluorescence spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer LS 55 Luminescence spectrometer. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were carried out using a computer‐controlled Autolab PGSTAT30 potentiostat in a three‐electrode single‐compartment cell with a platinum working electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode, and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode. All potentials were internally referenced to the ferrocene/ferricenium couple. The diffraction data of crystals of 8, 9, and 12 were collected in a stream of nitrogen at 180 K on an Agilent SuperNova, Cu at zero, Atlas CCD using graphite‐monochromated Cu Kα radiation. Data collection strategy was performed with the APEX2 software, data reduction, absorption correction, and cell refinement with CrysAlisPro 171. The structure was solved by direct methods with SHELXL‐2016/6, revealing all atoms of the derivatives. H atoms were discernible from difference Fourier maps during refinement on F2 with SHELXL‐97. For the final model, all atoms were refined anisotropically.1,4‐Dibenzene‐1,3,5‐triyl]tris}trithiophene8: 1,4‐Di(thien‐2‐yl)buta‐1,3‐diyne 7  and Co2(CO)8  in 20 mL abs. 1,4‐dioxane were stirred at 110 °C for 2 days.

Cholinergic regulation of hippocampal theta rhythm has been proposed as one of the central mechanisms underlying hippocampal functions including spatial memory encoding. However, cholinergic transmission has been traditionally associated with atropine-sensitive type II hippocampal theta oscillations that occur during alert immobility or in urethane-anesthetized animals. The role of cholinergic regulation of type I theta oscillations in behaving animals is much less clear. Recent studies strongly suggest that both cholinergic muscarinic and nicotinic receptors do actively regulate type I hippocampal theta oscillations and thus provide the cholinergic mechanism for theta-associated hippocampal learning. Septal cholinergic activation can regulate hippocampal circuit and theta expression either through direct septohippocampal cholinergic projections, or through septal glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, that can precisely entrain hippocampal theta rhythmicity. The hippocampus has been widely accepted as the brain region for memory encoding and short-term memory storage. The hippocampus receives major excitatory inputs from entorhinal cortex and sends the major output back to the entorhinal cortex ,2. The hSeptal cholinergic and GABAergic inputs to the hippocampus have been traditionally deemed as the pacemakers of theta oscillations, providing rhythmic excitatory and inhibitory hippocampal inputs, respectively . HoweverThere is strong evidence supporting cholinergic involvement in not only type II theta but also type I theta. Several studies have observed elevated septal cholinergic firing rate or hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) release during both type I and type II theta dominant behavioral states ,21,22,23Both hippocampal muscarinic and nicotinic receptors may contribute to theta regulation ,26,27,28Calcium imaging studies showed that calcium activities in dorsal CA1 pyramidal neurons are high during theta states including active exploration and REM sleep, and low during non-theta states including quiet wakefulness and slow wave sleep. Systemic or local hippocampal administrated mAChR antagonist scopolamine significantly reduced calcium activities in pyramidal neurons . Higher MSDB is indispensable for both type I and type II theta generation and has been proposed as the host of theta pacemakers ,47,48. TOther than septal GABAergic neurons, septal glutamatergic neurons can also regulate theta frequency. Rhythmic optogenetic activation of local septal glutamatergic neurons lineally entrained hippocampal type I theta frequency in behaving mice in the 6–10 Hz range but had little effect on peak theta power . Septal Although direct optogenetic activation of septal cholinergic neurons only had mild effect on type I theta , septal cholinergic activation can still regulate theta through septal GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons, or through direct septohippocampal cholinergic pathway. Systemic or intraseptal administration of atropine mildly decreased type I theta frequency in freely moving rats ,51. The In addition to theta oscillations, there are gamma oscillations in the hippocampus with a frequency ranging from 25 to 100 Hz . Gamma oRecordings from the CA1 area of freely moving mice show that gamma activity is amplitude-modulated at θ frequencies. This theta-gamma coupling is stronger during active exploration than during awake immobility. Intraperitoneally administrated atropine increased theta irregularity, reduced gamma power and theta-gamma coupling during explorative behavior . Stronge+ current [The mechanism underlying this cholinergic modulation of theta-gamma coupling is not clear. Studies suggest that hippocampal interneurons are critical for gamma generation. Slow gamma is driven by interneurons that are activated by CA3 inputs, while fast gamma is driven by interneurons activated by medial entorhinal cortical inputs ,74,76,87 current . Gamma a current , suggestSeptal cholinergic neurons are activated during both type II and type I theta states. Cholinergic activation can regulate hippocampal theta through both direct septohippocampal cholinergic pathway and indirect local septal circuit . ElevateLocal septal cholinergic action is essential for type II theta generation but is less important for type I theta and usually only has a moderate effect on type I theta frequency regulation. The relationship between type II theta centered on septal hippocampal loop and type I theta centered on the entorhinal hippocampal loop is currently unclear. Some researchers consider that type II theta coexists with type I theta in behaving animals and is only unmasked by anesthesia administration. It is also possible that each type of theta only occurs during its preferential states. Even if type II and type I theta coexist in behaving animals, it is still not clear if and how they are integrated to modify various aspects of behavior outcomes. Current studies seem to suggest that type II theta is more related to internal drive arising from past experiences, and type I theta is more related to external drive arising from ongoing activities.Cholinergic transmission can target both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in MSDB and the hippocampus through both mAChRs and nAChRs. It is currently unclear if septal cholinergic activation directly regulates septal GABAergic neurons or indirectly through local glutamatergic neurons, or both, and what cholinergic receptor subtypes underlie such mechanisms, respectively. An Intersectional Recombinases-mediated Area-and-cell-Specific gene Excision (IRASE) method has recently been developed to achieve receptor knockout with spatial and cell-type specificity . In this

U.S. Medicare covers many palliative services; however, Iowa’s rurality and high rate of older adults (OAs) aged 65 or over make it unclear whether older Iowans have equitable service access. Hospital-based palliative care services (HBPCSs) include curative treatment, whereas other providers of palliative care may not. Thus, this study only examined OAs’ geographic access to HBPCSs in Iowa.This study used the American Hospital Association and U.S. Census Bureau estimate in 2017. The geographical distribution of hospitals and HBPCSs was examined using a county-level approach, considering rural/urban status (using the Office of Management and Budget’s definitions) and OA population proportion.Of the 99 counties in Iowa, 89 were rural. Of the 116 hospitals statewide, one urban county and nine rural counties had no hospital. A total of 52 hospitals provided HBPCSs in 43 counties across nine urban and 34 rural counties. HBPCSs were primarily located in central Iowa, with northern and southern Iowa having the lowest access to HBPCSs. The OA population ratio was higher in counties without HBPCSs (19%) than HBPCSs (15.7%). All 54 counties with over a 20% OA population were concentrated in rural counties, while only 37% of these rural counties had HBPCSs.This study suggests a regional imbalance of HBPCS providers for OAs in Iowa. Results showed that rural communities with a high ratio of OAs lack HBPCSs and suggest HBPCSs should be expanded at hospitals in northern and southern Iowa counties where many OAs live.

The consequences of schizophrenia stigma are numerous and highly damaging to individuals, their families, the health care system and society. Mental health professionals (MHP) are considered to be one of the main sources of schizophrenia stigmatization.The aim of the study was to identify individual and contextual factors associated with stigmatization in MHP in its three dimensions.An online survey was conducted with specific measures of MHP stigmatization . Four categories of potential associated factors were also measured: sociodemographic information, contextual characteristics (e.g. work setting), individual characteristics  and theoretical beliefs . Models of prediction were computed when applicable.Responses of 357 MHP were analysed. The main factors associated with stigmatization  in MHP are of two types: i) individual beliefs  and ii) characteristics of practices .These original results suggest new strategies for reducing stigma in mental health practices such as focusing on individual beliefs and fostering recovery-oriented practice and professional utility beliefs.No significant relationships.

An ensemble of 29 wheat crop models simulates seasonal wheat growth well under locally recommended sowing conditions, but needs improvements to capture the yield response to early sowing, especially under high sowing density. Crop multi-model ensembles (MME) have proven to be effective in increasing the accuracy of simulations in modelling experiments. However, the ability of MME to capture crop responses to changes in sowing dates and densities has not yet been investigated. These management interventions are some of the main levers for adapting cropping systems to climate change. Here, we explore the performance of a MME of 29 wheat crop models to predict the effect of changing sowing dates and rates on yield and yield components, on two sites located in a high-yielding environment in New Zealand. The experiment was conducted for 6 years and provided 50 combinations of sowing date, sowing density and growing season. We show that the MME simulates seasonal growth of wheat well under standard sowing conditions, but fails under early sowing and high sowing rates. The comparison between observed and simulated in-season fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (FIPAR) for early sown wheat shows that the MME does not capture the decrease of crop above ground biomass during winter months due to senescence. Models need to better account for tiller competition for light, nutrients, and water during vegetative growth, and early tiller senescence and tiller mortality, which are exacerbated by early sowing, high sowing densities, and warmer winter temperatures. Wheat is the most traded crop commodity at the global scale and provides more than 20% of calories and protein in human diets . For decAdapting sowing conditions to climate change requires an understanding of how crop growth and yield development are affected by sowing date and density. Increased temperature shortens the growing season of wheat and shifts optimal sowing dates . The abiProcess-based crop growth models were developed to study the multiple interacting factors affecting crop growth, development, and yield formation under field conditions  are used to simulate the effect of climate variability and change on cropping systems  and Wakanui  in the Canterbury Region of the South Island of New Zealand . ‘Wakanu−2, while at Wakanui, only the locally recommended sowing density was used (150 seeds m−2).In the Canterbury region of New Zealand, winter wheat is usually sown between early April and mid-May, with some farmers sowing in late March in recent years . At LeesThe objective of the Leeston trials was to increase wheat production in a high yielding environment without water and nitrogen stress. The trials investigated the complex interaction between tiller development, ear population, and grain yield, with the goal of finding the optimal sowing density for an early sowing date. The experiments consisted of a split-plot design with sowing dates as the main plots and sowing rates as the subplots, with four replicates. The Wakanui trials used a single sowing density and investigated different cultivars, sowing dates, and the use of plant growth regulators (2015–2016) or defoliation (2016–2017 and 2017–2018), at different sowing dates. The experiments were designed as randomized blocks with sowing dates as the main plots and cultivar by plant growth regulation or defoliation as the subplots, replicated four times. In our study, we considered only the data of the ‘Wakanui’ cultivar grown under standard growth regulation and without defoliation.−1 and irrigation up to 210 mm of water.The field management was adapted each year to obtain ideal growth conditions: crops received a yearly N fertilization of between 122 and 284 kg N haIndividual plots (12 m×1.65 m) were drilled into a top worked seed bed.

In addition, the grain, stem, chaff, and leaf dry weight at maturity, ear number and grain number, grain unit dry weight, and harvest index were provided. Also, time series of measurements of total above ground dry biomass, leaf number per stem, and LAI were provided, as well as NDVI and FIPAR.After calibration, simulations were conducted by each model for all combinations of sowing date, sowing density, and growing season , for a tGY) to the mean , was quantified with the coefficient of variation (CV), which is the ratio of the standard deviation  and the simulated (S) values and is given as:The root mean square error (RMSE) is the standard deviation of the residuals and is calculated as the squared root of the mean squared difference between the observed (The model accuracy was quantified using the relative RMSE (RRMSE), expressed as a percentage, which is useful to compare outputs with different units.

Conversely, average grain dry mass and harvest index showed little change with sowing density , under earlier sowing the final total above ground biomass and grain yield increased for both measurements and MME simulations , the effect of sowing date on final above ground biomass and grain yield initially showed a decrease between February and early March sowing and then an increase  the decrease of NDVI and FIPAR during winter was also observed for March sowings, highlighting that the decrease could be observed in later sowings , final total above ground biomass and grain yield increased with earlier sowing (−2), early sowing increased tillering, and thus increased competition and tiller mortality  simulated a decrease in FIPAR after the rapid increase with the February sowing in 2015 and only two  with the February sowing in 2014, while none of the models simulated the decrease measured with the March sowing in 2014. Interestingly, the models that were more successful in simulating the FIPAR response represent different modelling approaches, SQ being a very sophisticated model that represents tillering, grain number, and size explicitly, while HE is based on a one-leaf and one-grain approach. Furthermore, the models that captured the decrease in FIPAR did not show better performance in simulating yield . This shThe comparison of the MME and experimental data highlighted that the MME was not able to correctly represent the response of yield to increasing sowing rate at early sowing dates and the response to sowing date at the currently recommended sowing rate. Some of the models showed better performance than the MME in predicting grain yield at an early sowing date, but none was more accurate than the MME at a low sowing rate .Although previous studies have shown that MMEs were effective in reducing uncertainty in predicting yield .Fig. S2.
