Hetero-architectured core-shell NiMoO4@Ni9S8/MoS2 nanorods enabling high-performance supercapacitors

Author(s): Chen L; Deng W; Chen Z; Wang X;

Abstract: An effective technique for improving electrochemical efficiency is to rationally design hierarchical nanostructures that completely optimize the advantages of single components and establish an interfacial effect between structures. In this study, core-shell NiMoO4@Ni9S8/MoS2 hetero-structured nanorods are prepared via a facile hydrothermal proc ...

Diffuse optical reconstructions of functional near infrared spectroscopy data using maximum entropy on the mean

Author(s): Zhengchen Cai

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures the hemoglobin concentration changes associated with neuronal activity. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) consists of reconstructing the optical density changes measured from scalp channels to the oxy-/deoxy-hemoglobin concentration changes within the cortical regions. In the present study, we adapted ...

Compound changes in temperature and snow depth lead to asymmetric and nonlinear responses in landscape freeze-thaw

Author(s): Hatami S; Nazemi A;

Cycles of freeze-thaw (FT) are among the key landscape processes in cold regions. Under current global warming, understanding the alterations in FT characteristics is of a great importance for advising land management strategies in northern latitudes. Using a generic statistical approach, we address the impacts of compound changes in air temperature and s ...

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the LEAD trial: a cluster randomized controlled lifestyle intervention to improve hippocampal volume in older adults at-risk for dementia

Author(s): N D Koblinsky

CONCLUSIONS: High adherence and retention rates were observed among participants and preliminary findings illustrate improvements in diet quality and HbA1c. These results indicate that a larger trial is feasible if difficulties surrounding recruitment can be mitigated.

Validation of an Adapted Version of the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for People with Intellectual Disabilities (GAS-ID)

Author(s): Maïano C; Morin AJS; Gagnon C; Olivier E; Tracey D; Craven RG; Bouchard S;

The objective of the study was to validate adapted versions of the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for people with Intellectual Disabilities (GAS-ID) simultaneously developed in English and French. A sample of 361 youth with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) (M = 15.78 years) from Australia (English-speaking) and Canada (French-speaking) participated in ...

Neuropsychological deficits in patients with cognitive complaints after COVID-19

Author(s): García-Sánchez C; Calabria M; Grunden N; Pons C; Arroyo JA; Gómez-Anson B; Lleó A; Alcolea D; Belvís R; Morollón N; Mur I; Pomar V; Domingo P;

Background: While much of the scientific focus thus far has been on cognitive sequelae in patients with severe COVID-19, subjective cognitive complaints are being reported across the spectrum of disease severity, with recent studies beginning to corroborate patients' perceived deficits. In re ...

Warm and arid regions of the world are hotspots of superorganism complexity

Author(s): La Richelière F; Muñoz G; Guénard B; Dunn RR; Economo EP; Powell S; Sanders NJ; Weiser MD; Abouheif E; Lessard JP;

Biologists have long been fascinated by the processes that give rise to phenotypic complexity of organisms, yet whether there exist geographical hotspots of phenotypic complexity remains poorly explored. Phenotypic complexity can be readily observed in ant colonies, which are superorganisms with ...

The rodent medial prefrontal cortex and associated circuits in orchestrating adaptive behavior under variable demands

Author(s): Howland JG; Ito R; Lapish CC; Villaruel FR;

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However, the computations within mPFC and subsequent outputs that determine behavior are incompletely understood. We review the involvement of mPFC subregions, and their projections to th ...

Generation of oligonucleotide conjugates via one-pot diselenide-selenoester ligation-deselenization/alkylation

Author(s): Liczner C; Hanna CC; Payne RJ; Wilds CJ;

A breadth of strategies are needed to efficiently modify oligonucleotides with peptides or lipids to capitalize on their therapeutic and diagnostic potential, including the modulation of in vivo chemical stability and for applications in cell-targeting and cell-permeability. The chemical linkages typically used in peptide oligonucleotide conjugates (POCs) ...

Bioinspired facilitation of intrinsically conductive polymers: Mediating intra/extracellular electron transfer and microbial metabolism in denitrification

Author(s): Guo T; Lu C; Chen Z; Song Y; Li H; Han Y; Hou Y; Zhong Y; Guo J;

Intrinsically conductive polymers, polyaniline and polyaniline sulfonate (PASAni) were used to explore their effect on denitrification. Denitrification was accelerated 1.90 times by 2 mM PASAni and the possible mechanisms were mainly attributed to the accelerated electron transfer and the enhanced microbial metabolism activity. Intracellular electron tran ...

A regional numerical environmental multimedia modeling approach to assess spatial Eco-Environmental exposure risk of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the Pearl river basin

Author(s): Chen Z; Dong J; Asif Z;

This paper presents a novel numerical environmental multimedia modeling system (RNEMM) for assessing the environmental fate of emerging organic contaminants and their relative health risk at a regional scale. The RNEMM is developed based on an integrated numerical algorithm that comprises four sub-models: a river network simulation module, a gaseous phase ...

Depression, Estrogens, and Neuroinflammation: A Preclinical Review of Ketamine Treatment for Mood Disorders in Women

Author(s): Gagne C; Piot A; Brake WG;

Ketamine has been shown to acutely and rapidly ameliorate depression symptoms and suicidality. Given that women suffer from major depression at twice the rate of men, it is important to understand how ketamine works in the female brain. This review explores three themes. First, it examines our current understanding of the etiology of depression in women. ...
