At ambient pressure DNO shows an orthorhombic unit cell (a = 0.5448 nm, b = 1.2758 nm, c = 1.9720 nm, density 1.513 g cm-3) with an appropriate space group Pbcn. From Raman spectroscopic investigations three phase transitions have been detected at 0.88, 1.28, and 2.2 GPa, respectively. These transitions have also been confirmed by absorption spectroscopy and X-ray measurements. Molecular modeling simulations have considerably contributed to the interpretation of the X-ray diffractograms. In general, the nearly flat structure of the oxadiazole molecule is preserved during the transitions. All subsequent structures are characterized by a stack-like arrangement of the DNO molecules. Only the mutual position of these molecular stacks changes due to the transformations so that this process may be described as a topotactical reaction. Phases II and III show a monoclinic symmetry with space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 1.990 nm, b = 0.500 nm, c = 1.240 nm, ß = 91.7°, density 1.681 g cm-3 (phase II, determined at 1. 1 GPa) and a = 1.890 nm, b = 0.510 nm, C = 1.242 nm, ß = 89.0°, density 1.733 g cm-3 (phase 111, determined at 2.0 GPa), respectively. The high-pressure phase IV stable at least up to 5 GPa shows again an orthorhombic structure with space group Pccn with corresponding cell parameters at 2.9 GPa: a = 0.465 nm, b = 1.920 nm, c = 1.230 nm and density 1.857 g cm-3 . For the first phase a blue pressure shift of the onset of absorption by about 0.032 eV GPa has been observed that may be explained by pressure influences on the electronic conjugation of the molecule. In the intermediate and high-pressure phases II-IV the onset of absorption shifts to increased wavelengths due to larger intermolecular interactions and enhanced excitation delocalization with decreasing intermolecular spacing.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JacqminOezdemirFellKurbanetal.2021, author = {Jacqmin, Julien and {\"O}zdemir, Paker Doğu and Fell Kurban, Caroline and Tun{\c{c}} Pekkan, Zelha and Koskinen, Johanna and Suonp{\"a}{\"a}, Maija and Seng, Cheyvuth and Carlon, May Kristine Jonson and Gayed, John Maurice and Cross, Jeffrey S. and Langseth, Inger and Jacobsen, Dan Yngve and Haugsbakken, Halvdan and Bethge, Joseph and Serth, Sebastian and Staubitz, Thomas and Wuttke, Tobias and Nordemann, Oliver and Das, Partha-Pratim and Meinel, Christoph and Ponce, Eva and Srinath, Sindhu and Allegue, Laura and Perach, Shai and Alexandron, Giora and Corti, Paola and Baudo, Valeria and Turr{\´o}, Carlos and Moura Santos, Ana and Nilsson, Charlotta and Maldonado-Mahauad, Jorge and Valdiviezo, Javier and Carvallo, Juan Pablo and Samaniego-Erazo, Nicolay and Poce, Antonella and Re, Maria Rosaria and Valente, Mara and Karp Gershon, Sa'ar and Ruip{\´e}rez-Valiente, Jos{\´e} A. and Despujol, Ignacio and Busquets, Jaime and Kerr, John and Lorenz, Anja and Sch{\"o}n, Sandra and Ebner, Martin and Wittke, Andreas and Beirne, Elaine and Nic Giolla Mhich{\´i}l, Mair{\´e}ad and Brown, Mark and Mac Lochlainn, Conch{\´u}r and Topali, Paraskevi and Chounta, Irene-Angelica and Ortega-Arranz, Alejandro and Villagr{\´a}-Sobrino, Sara L. and Mart{\´i}nez-Mon{\´e}s, Alejandra and Blackwell, Virginia Katherine and Wiltrout, Mary Ellen and Rami Gaddem, Mohamed and Hern{\´a}ndez Reyes, C{\´e}sar Augusto and Nagahama, Toru and Buchem, Ilona and Okatan, Ebru and Khalil, Mohammad and Casiraghi, Daniela and Sancassani, Susanna and Brambilla, Federica and Mihaescu, Vlad and Andone, Diana and Vasiu, Radu and Şahin, Muhittin and Egloffstein, Marc and Bothe, Max and Rohloff, Tobias and Schenk, Nathanael and Schwerer, Florian and Ifenthaler, Dirk and Hense, Julia and Bernd, Mike}, title = {EMOOCs 2021}, editor = {Meinel, Christoph and Staubitz, Thomas and Schweiger, Stefanie and Friedl, Christian and Kiers, Janine and Ebner, Martin and Lorenz, Anja and Ubachs, George and Mongenet, Catherine and Ruip{\´e}rez-Valiente, Jos{\´e} A. and Cortes Mendez, Manoel}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-512-5}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-51030}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-510300}, pages = {vii, 295}, year = {2021}, abstract = {From June 22 to June 24, 2021, Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, hosted the seventh European MOOC Stakeholder Summit (EMOOCs 2021) together with the eighth ACM Learning@Scale Conference.

Design, Setting, and Participants This quantitative, intensive, longitudinal cohort study recruited 1743 participants from 3 sites from February 20, 2020, to February 28, 2021.

These individuals provided 14 694 smartphone ratings from October 2020 through February 2021. Multilevel modeling revealed significantly higher AC (grams of alcohol per day) on weekend days vs weekdays (β = 11.39; 95\% CI, 10.00-12.77; P < .001). Alcohol consumption was above the overall average on Christmas (β = 26.82; 95\% CI, 21.87-31.77; P < .001) and New Year's Eve (β = 66.88; 95\% CI, 59.22-74.54; P < .001).

Independent of lockdown, intention to drink less alcohol was associated with lower AC (β = -11.10; 95\% CI, -13.63 to -8.58; P < .001).

Conclusions and Relevance This 5-month cohort study found no immediate negative associations of lockdown measures with overall AC. Rather, weekend-weekday and holiday AC patterns exceeded lockdown effects. Differences in AC between weekend days and weekdays evinced that weekend drinking cycles decreased as a function of AUD severity and lockdown measures, indicating a potential mechanism of losing and regaining control.
