    Abstract We investigate the halide perovskite TiF$_3$, renowned for its intricate interplay between structure, electronic correlations, magnetism, and thermal expansion. Despite its simple structure, understanding its low-temperature magnetic behavior has been a challenge. Previous theories proposed antiferromagnetic ordering. In contrast, experimental signatures for an ordered magnetic state are absent down to 10~K. Our current study has successfully reevaluated the theoretical modeling of TiF$_3$, unveiling the significance of strong electronic correlations as the key driver for its insulating behavior and magnetic frustration. In addition, our frequency-dependent optical reflectivity measurements exhibit clear signs of an insulating state. Analysis of the calculated magnetic data gives an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling with a net Weiss temperature of order 25~K as well as a magnetic response consistent with a $S$=1/2 local moment per Ti$^{3+}$. Yet, the system shows no susceptibility peak at this temperature scale and appears free of long-range antiferromagnetic order down to 1~K. Extending ab initio modeling of the material to larger unit cells shows a tendency for relaxing into a non-collinear magnetic ordering, with a shallow energy landscape between several magnetic ground states, promoting the status of this simple, nearly cubic perovskite structured material as a candidate spin liquid.

    Abstract We characterize perovskite TiF_3, a material which displays significant negative thermal expansion at elevated temperatures above its cubic-to-rhombohedral structural phase transition at 330 K. We find the optical response favors an insulating state in both structural phases, which we show can be produced in density functional theory calculations only through the introduction of an on-site Coulomb repulsion. Analysis of the magnetic susceptibility data gives a S=1/2 local moment per Ti+3 ion and an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. Together, these results show that TiF_3 is a strongly correlated electron system, a fact which constrains possible mechanisms of strong negative thermal expansion in the Sc_1-xTi_xF3 system. We consider the relative strength of the Jahn-Teller and electric dipole interactions in driving the structural transition.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has produced widespread shortages of certified air-filtering personal protection equipment and an acute need for rapid evaluation of breathability and filtration efficiency of proposed alternative solutions. Here, we describe experimental efforts to nondestructively quantify three vital characteristics of mask approaches: breathability, material filtration effectiveness, and sensitivity to fit. We focus on protection against aqueous aerosols >0.3 μm using off-the-shelf particle, flow, and pressure sensors, permitting rapid comparative evaluation of these three properties. We present and discuss both the pressure drop and the particle penetration as a function of flow to permit comparison of relative protection for a set of proposed filter and mask designs. The design considerations of the testing apparatus can be reproduced by university laboratories and medical facilities and used for rapid local quality control of respirator masks that are of uncertified origin, monitoring the long-term effects of various disinfection schemes and evaluating improvised products not designed or marketed for filtration.

    Abstract At the front lines of the world's response to the COVID-19 pandemic are hero-clinicians facing a lack of critical supplies including protective medical grade breathing masks and filtering materials. At the same time, the general public is now being advised to wear masks to help stop the spread. As a result, in the absence of centrally coordinated production and distribution efforts, supply chains for masks, respirators, and materials for advanced filtration technology are immensely burdened. Here we describe experimental efforts to nondestructively quantify three vital characteristics of mask approaches: breathability, material filtration effectiveness, and sensitivity to fit. We focus on protection against water aerosols $>$0.3$\mu$m using off-the-shelf particulate, flow, and pressure sensors, permitting rapid comparative evaluation of these three properties. We present and discuss both the pressure drop and the particle transmission as a function of flow to permit comparison of relative protection for a set of proposed filter and mask designs. The design considerations of the testing apparatus can be reproduced by university laboratories and medical facilities and used for rapid local quality control of respirator masks which are of uncertified origin, monitoring the long-term effects of various disinfection schemes, and evaluating improvised products not designed or marketed for filtration.

    Abstract BioID is a proximity labeling strategy whose goal is to identify in vivo protein-protein interactions. The central components of this strategy are modified biotin ligase enzymes that promiscuously add biotin groups to proteins in close proximity. The transferred biotin group provides a powerful tag for purification and thus identification of interacting proteins. While a variety of modified biotin ligases were created for BioID, the original enzymes were inefficient, required long incubation times, and high intracellular biotin concentrations for protein labeling. These limitations hinder the application of BioID in contexts such as developing embryos where processes such as cell division and cell fate decisions occur rapidly. Recently, a new biotin ligase called TurboID was developed that addressed many of the deficiencies of previous enzymes. In this paper we compare TurboID to the BioID2 biotin ligase in developing Xenopus embryos. We find that the TurboID enzyme has several advantages over the BioID2 enzyme. TurboID labels proteins efficiently without the addition of additional biotin and occurs at a range of temperatures compatible with the culturing of Xenopus embryos. Biotinylation events occurred rapidly and were limited by TurboID expression and not its activity. Thus, TurboID is an efficient tool for BioID applications in Xenopus embryos and its use should facilitate the identification of interacting proteins in specific networks and complexes during Xenopus development.

    Abstract Background: Bruising in an infant is an important sentinel injury that should raise concern for child physical abuse, and should prompt a medical evaluation for occult injury. Hyperflexion during forceful squeezing of an infant's hand results in a distinct pattern of bruising along the palmar and interdigital creases, as well as the palmar eminences. Self-inflicted injury by the infant or injury resulting from benign handling should not be accepted as plausible explanations for this injury. The presence of concurrent occult injuries is common, and further supports concerns for abuse. However, when this distinct pattern of palm bruising is identified in an infant, the absence of occult injuries should not prevent the recognition of child physical abuse.
    Case report: We report 11 cases depicting this distinct pattern of palm bruising in infants. Additionally, we include a perpetrator's documented confession. To the best of our knowledge, this pattern of bruising has not been previously described in the medical literature. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Emergency physicians play a crucial role in recognizing and addressing child physical abuse. Prompt recognition of this finding can aid in the identification of child physical abuse, even in the absence of underlying occult injury. This, in turn, can potentially prevent further injury, and even death, of an infant.
