    A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements

    Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles (MISEV2023): From basic to advanced approaches

    Get PDF
    Extracellular vesicles (EVs), through their complex cargo, can reflect the state of their cell of origin and change the functions and phenotypes of other cells. These features indicate strong biomarker and therapeutic potential and have generated broad interest, as evidenced by the steady year-on-year increase in the numbers of scientific publications about EVs. Important advances have been made in EV metrology and in understanding and applying EV biology. However, hurdles remain to realising the potential of EVs in domains ranging from basic biology to clinical applications due to challenges in EV nomenclature, separation from non-vesicular extracellular particles, characterisation and functional studies. To address the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) updates its 'Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles', which was first published in 2014 and then in 2018 as MISEV2014 and MISEV2018, respectively. The goal of the current document, MISEV2023, is to provide researchers with an updated snapshot of available approaches and their advantages and limitations for production, separation and characterisation of EVs from multiple sources, including cell culture, body fluids and solid tissues. In addition to presenting the latest state of the art in basic principles of EV research, this document also covers advanced techniques and approaches that are currently expanding the boundaries of the field. MISEV2023 also includes new sections on EV release and uptake and a brief discussion of in vivo approaches to study EVs. Compiling feedback from ISEV expert task forces and more than 1000 researchers, this document conveys the current state of EV research to facilitate robust scientific discoveries and move the field forward even more rapidly

    Die Synthese und der thermische Zerfall des 1,2-Diazabenzo[e]-semibullvalens und dessen Beziehung zur Thermolyse des Benzobenzvalens

    The [4 + 2]-photoadduct of naphthalene and 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3,5-dione (PTAD) was subjected to a triplet-sensitized di-π-methane rearrangement. Hydrolysis of the resulting urazol 15 gave a stable semicarbazide 16 which by nickel-peroxide oxidation gave 1,2-diazabenzo[e]semibullvalene (10). At 40 °C, the latter decays in CHCl₃ solution to produce benzofulvene (2) as the principal product, accompanied by benzobenzvalene (1) and small amounts of naphthalene. This decay reaction is rationalized in terms of a 1,3-dipolar cycloreversion which is followed by denitrogenation to give indenyl carbene (19). The thermolysis of 1 in solution is believed to proceed via the same carbene. At present, these findings provide only a partial answer to the benzobenzvalene enigma (i.e., in solution at 150°, 1 gives 2, but in the gas-phase at 300°, 1 yields naphthalene). MeOH is shown to add readily to 10 in a homologous Michael addition

    Valence isomers of aromatic compounds: on the mechanism of the Katz reaction

    No full text
    Lithium salts of small and medium-sized aromatic anions react with methylene chloride and alkyllithium to afford bridged bicyclobutanes or related polycyclic compounds. We demonstrate that the three new carbon-carbon bonds formed in the course of these title reactions result from a tandem of carbenoid processes. Formation of exocyclic carbenoids precedes intramolecular cheletropic addition and ring enlargement. Neither H-migration nor CH-insertion is observed throughout these processes. Key intermediates have been generated by independent routes.</p
