Use of Nucleic Acid Analogs for the Study of Nucleic Acid Interactions by Shu-ichi Nakano, Masayuki Fujii, Naoki Sugimoto

“…Although the base pair-mimic nucleosides possess a simplified stacking moiety of a phenyl or naphthyl group, they can be used as a structural analog of Watson-Crick base pairs. Remarkably, they can adopt two different conformations responding to their interaction energies, and one of them is the stacking conformation of the nonpolar aromatic group causing the site-selective flipping of the opposite base in a DNA double helix. …”

Proposal and Strategy for Nursing-Led Research: Protocol for an Unfunded Clinical Trial by Leticia Carmen Simón-López, Ismael Ortuño-Soriano, Raquel Luengo-González, Paloma Posada-Moreno, Ignacio Zaragoza-García, Rubén Sánchez-Gómez

“…First, we preselected only those nurses who were more aware of change (innovators and pioneers) to participate in our trial to avoid a massive rejection, and later, we asked others to join (late adopters). We followed Rogers’ phases. For research staff who were aware of the funding, we focused on the “persuasion phase,” while for nursing staff, we mixed the “knowledge and persuasion phases” and used pioneers and early adopters as a positive example for other nurses as well as nonfinancial incentives (persuasion). …”
