Heterocyclic Squaraines: Second-Harmonic Generation from Langmuir-Blodgett Films of a Centrosymmetric Donor-Acceptor-Donor Molecule
Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of 2,4-bis[(N-butyl-2-quinolylidene)methyl]squaraine exhibit strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) with an effective monolayer susceptibility of ca. 40 pm V−1 at 1.064 µm even thoug...

Open AccessUncomplicated obesity is associated with abnormal aortic function assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Obese subjects with insulin resistance and hypertension have abnormal aortic elastic function, which may predispose them to the development of left ventricular dysfunction. We hypothesised that obesity, uncomp...

3D Fusion Echocardiography Improves Transoeosphageal LV Assessment
Accurate left ventricular (LV) assessment by transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) can be clinically important particularly in intensive care or intraoperative settings. Assessment from TOE views is limited ...

Chemical beauty contest
Most drug candidates fail clinical trials, in many cases because the compounds have less than optimal physico-chemical properties. A new method for assessing the 'drug-likeness' of compounds might help to reme...
