Machtley upset the 28-year veteran and Chairman of the House Banking Committee to take the Congressional seat. In 1994, he was the odds-on-favorite to win the Governorship, but was upset in the GOP primary by Lincoln Almond, who went on to serve eight years as Governor.

Twinning is a crystal-growth disorder in which the specimen is composed of distinct domains whose orientations differ but are related in a particular, well-defined way. Twinning, which is a known problem in protein crystallography, …

In complex GPU-bound tests, such as a walk around the bustling Diamond City, we also see a divide in performance between the two consoles. Though most locations hold mostly steady at 30fps, this is one of the more densely packed, detailed spots in the game in terms of overall NPC count and geometry layout. As a result, both PS4 and Xbox One are prone to drops when walking around its centre, and Sony’s machine consistently gives us the smoother return. On overlooking the city as a whole, Xbox One lags behind at a sustained 25fps in this case, while PS4 delivers at 28fps until we leave the scene. There’s no question in this sense that PS4 leverages its raw hardware advantage into a performance lead – despite resolutions and assets being identical with Microsoft’s platform.

Remarkably, the intensity of the Raman peak at 1530 cm−1, corresponding to the in-plane ring symmetric nonmetal bound N–C stretch of CuPc, was used as a reference peak for further research (table S1) (30). It was found that MGT had better enhancement for CuPc compared with MG, an effect that could be ascribed mainly to the addition of a semiconductor, TiO2, to the GO-containing platform. The EF value of MGT for CuPc molecules was calculated to be as high as 8.08 × 106 (for calculation details, see Materials and Methods), which was much higher than that of graphene alone (47.3) (29) and the highest EF value (6.62 × 105) of plasmon-free materials reported to date (31). Given that the wavelength of the excitation laser used for Raman measurement in this work was 633 nm, which is close to the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption peak of CuPc (fig. S4D), the high EF value may be attributed to the SERS effect of CuPc (32). After the excitation laser wavelength was adjusted to either 532 or 780 nm, we observed relatively weak absorption for CuPc molecules. Compared with absorption under 633-nm excitation, an obvious decline (~44%) in the Raman intensity of CuPc was observed under 532-nm irradiation, while no obvious Raman signals were obtained under 780 nm (fig. S4E). The results indicate that resonance Raman effect plays an important role in Raman enhancement.

And whatever you do, don’t you dare pick up a bottle of bleach. “It’s way too risky to try by yourself," says Rez, who stresses that lifting your hair color (aka lightening it) should only ever be left to the pros. “We know how to treat whatever situation that may come up."

And yet, for some time now, Lake’s Folly winegrower, Rod Kempe, has been keeping a secret hidden in his cellar.

Fun fact: Colognes can get very, very expensive (like, topping $1k a bottle). At $65, you’re probably not going to do too much damage to your bank account. The wallet-friendly price tag alleviates the pressure that comes with bigger buys: You don’t need to wear daily to make sure you get your money’s worth. Instead, add in as needed (i.e., date nights if they’re into it, or for more dressed-up situations like evening events or professional meetings).

A barrier to develop bioinspired synthetic systems lies in deciphering the complexity of natural systems. The findings presented here increase our understanding toward biomimicking the water structure within the extremely efficient AQPs, which remains an important exploratory challenge. The I-quartet artificial water channel provides remarkable combinations of functions very close to those encountered in natural AQPs and provides a simplified system, where the structural alignment of confined water can be elucidated and quantified. Our comprehensive study shows that self-assembled I-quartets embedded into lipid bilayers form highly ordered structures containing chiral dipolar oriented water wires. Our complementary x-ray single-crystal, QCM-D, MD, and nonlinear SFG spectroscopic studies presented here provide the first insight into the hydrogen-bonded structure and dipolar orientation of the water molecules inside the I-quartet channels in the lipid membrane environment at a molecular level.
