Encapsulation of Vecuronium and Rocuronium by Sugammadex Investigated by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy by Adriana Kenđel, Ivo Piantanida, Snežana Miljanić

“…Aiming toward a novel, noninvasive technique, with a real-time potential application in the monitoring of the complexation of steroidal neuromuscular blocker drugs Vecuronium (<b>Vec</b>) and Rocuronium (<b>Roc</b>) with sugammadex (<b>SDX</b>, medication for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by <b>Vec</b> or <b>Roc</b> in general anesthesia), we developed proof-of-principle methodology based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). …”

On Erdős sums of almost primes by Gorodetsky, Ofir, Lichtman, Jared Duker, Wong, Mo Dick

“…We also give an alternate, probability-theoretic argument related to the Dickman distribution. Here the proof reduces to showing a sequence of integrals converges exponentially quickly $\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma }$, which may be of independent interest.…”

Coherent Control of Single Molecules via Phase-Shaped Two-Photon Excitation at Room Temperature by Xin-peng Xu, Tobias M. Herkenrath, Ullrich Scherf, Richard Hildner

“…However, for larger functional molecules in condensed phase at room temperature, ensemble measurements do typically not allow exerting full control over competing pathways due to the unavoidable influence of the surrounding (mostly complex) environment. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature coherent control exploiting a nonresonant 2-photon transition into a higher excited state of single conjugated polymer chains embedded in a disordered matrix, including proof-of-principle experiments on bulk films. …”
