TL;DR: In this paper, a search for new physics in the final state containing a photon and missing transverse energy was conducted, and the authors set 90% confidence level (CL) upper limits for spin-dependent chi-nucleon scattering for chi masses between 1 and 100 GeV.
Abstract: Results are presented from a search for new physics in the final state containing a photon and missing transverse energy. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV by the CMS experiment. The observed event yield agrees with standard-model expectations for photon plus missing transverse energy events. Using models for production of dark-matter particles (chi), we set 90% confidence level (CL) upper limits of 13.6--15.4 femtobarns on chi production in the photon plus missing transverse energy state. These provide the most sensitive upper limits for spin-dependent chi-nucleon scattering for chi masses between 1 and 100 GeV. For spin-independent contributions, the present limits are extended to chi masses below 3.5 GeV. For models with 3--6 large extra dimensions, our data exclude extra-dimensional Planck scales between 1.65 and 1.71 TeV at 95% CL.

TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of several highly ordered lanthanide complexes formed by the use of f-metal directed supramolecular synthesis are described, demonstrating the chiral nature of these self-assemblies.
Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of several highly ordered lanthanide complexes formed by the use of f-metal directed supramolecular synthesis is described. These unique self-assemblies or bundles are chiral as well as luminescent, where the lanthanide-based emission is observed upon excitation of the ligands (antennae) employed. These structures also give rise to chiral lanthanide luminescence (using CPL) demonstrating the chiral nature of these self-assemblies.

TL;DR: Significant changes in the composition and function of mycorrhizal fungi remain poorly understood, despite their role as a major interface between plants and soil, and their function for plant–soil feedbacks or control over long-term nutrient depletion is unclear.
Abstract: Plant communities and underlying soils undergo substantial, coordinated shifts throughout ecosystem development. However, shifts in the composition and function of mycorrhizal fungi remain poorly understood, despite their role as a major interface between plants and soil. We synthesise evidence for shifts among mycorrhizal types (i.e., ectomycorrhizas, arbuscular and ericoid mycorrhizas) and in fungal communities within mycorrhizal types along long-term chronosequences that include retrogressive stages. These systems represent strong, predictable patterns of increasing, then declining soil fertility during ecosystem development, and are associated with coordinated changes in plant and fungal functional traits and ecological processes. Mycorrhizal types do not demonstrate consistent shifts through ecosystem development. Rather, most mycorrhizal types can dominate at any stage of ecosystem development, driven by biogeography (i.e., availability of mycorrhizal host species), plant community assembly, climate and other factors. In contrast to coordinated shifts in soil fertility, plant traits and ecological processes throughout ecosystem development, shifts in fungal communities within and among mycorrhizal types are weak or idiosyncratic. The consequences of these changes in mycorrhizal communities and their function for plant–soil feedbacks or control over long-term nutrient depletion remain poorly understood, but could be resolved through empirical analyses of long-term soil chronosequences.

TL;DR: In this paper, a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange of underutilized assets has been proposed as a business model for the sharing economy, and great hopes have been placed in this new business model.
