Significance We present a systematic study of family 15 types octahedral spinel electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline fuel cells. Three specific candidates, MnCo 2 O 4 /C, CoMn and CoFe exhibited very promising ORR activity. In particular, /C could rival activity selectivity Pt/C. Such performance was ascribed to partial charge transfer between Co Mn. The most active, unique Co–Mn core–shell structure with heterogeneous valence states, which were probed at...
Abstract Antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) are emerging as powerful cancer treatments that combine antibody-mediated tumor targeting with the potent cytotoxic activity of toxins. We recently reported development a novel ADC delivers payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to cells expressing tissue factor (TF). By carefully selecting TF-specific antibody interferes TF:FVIIa-dependent intracellular signaling, but not procoagulant TF, an was developed (TF-011-MMAE/HuMax-TF-ADC) efficiently kills...
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients with cirrhosis are at risk for developing costly, morbid, or mortal events, and therefore need highly effective therapies. Lamivudine is but limited by viral resistance. In contrast, adefovir entecavir have lower resistance, more expensive. The most cost-effective approach uncertain. METHODS We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of six strategies in HBV cirrhosis: (1) No treatment (“do nothing”), (2) lamivudine monotherapy, (3) (4) crossover to on...
We report room-temperature observations of $\mathrm{Cu_{Zn}}$-$\mathrm{V_{S}}$ quantum emitters in individual ZnS:Cu nanocrystals (NCs). Using time-gated imaging, we isolate the distinct, $\sim$3-$\mu$s-long, red photoluminescence (PL) emission defects, enabling their precise identification and statistical characterization. The exhibit distinct blinking photon antibunching, consistent with NCs containing two to four defects. emitters' PL spectra show a pronounced blue shift compared NC...
Heat spreaders can be made from natural graphite sheet materials. These take advantage of the anisotropic thermal properties graphite. Natural exhibits a high conductivity in plane combined with much lower through thickness sheet. As result, function as both heat spreader and an insulator used to eliminate localized hot spots electronic components. In some cases, replace conventional management system consisting sink cooling fan. This paper examines application these problems laptop...
Abstract Embryonic diapause is a poorly understood phenomenon of reversible arrest embryo development prior to implantation. In many carnivores, such as the mink (Neovison vison), obligate characterizes each gestation. Embryo reactivation controlled by uterus mechanisms that remain elusive. Because polyamines are essential regulators cell proliferation and growth, it was hypothesized they trigger reactivation. To test this, mated females were treated with α-difluoromethylornithine, an...
In a flash: Pyrotechnic incendiary formulations with good stabilities toward various ignition stimuli have been developed without the need for barium or perchlorate oxidizers. KIO4 and NaIO4 were introduced as pyrotechnic oxidizers exhibited excellent performance. The periodate salts may garner widespread use in military civilian fireworks because of their low hygroscopicities high chemical reactivities.
This study reported preliminary clinical experience of using decelluarised nerve allograft material for repair digital defect in five hand injury patients. From October 2009 to July 2010, patients with traumatic were treated AxoGen® (AxoGen Inc, Alachua, FL) California Hospital Medical Center. All followed at least 12 months, and sensory recovery signs infection or rejection documented by a therapist. Average two-point discrimination was 6 mm, average Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments test...
Abstract The full‐up prototype testing of perchlorate‐free, hand‐held, signal illuminants for the US Army’s M126A1 red star parachute hand‐held is described. Compared to perchlorate‐containing control, disclosed yielded excellent stabilities toward various ignition stimuli while offering superior pyrotechnic performance. Militarily, provided further evidence that development smaller items in an environmentally conscious way a realistic and obtainable goal. results are also important from...
Pyrotechnic time delay compositions composed of boron carbide, sodium periodate, and polytetrafluoroethylene have been developed for use in the U.S. Army hand-held signal. The new were to replace currently used composition that contains potassium perchlorate barium chromate, chemicals are facing increasing regulatory scrutiny. Static tests aluminum signal housings demonstrated a wide range available inverse burning rates (1.3–20.8 s/cm), which includes 7–8.5 s/cm required signals. roles...
ABSTRACT We examine how the adoption of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) for financial reporting impacts pricing bank loans. Using a sample loans granted to U.S. borrowers from 2007–2013, we find that XBRL is associated with reduction in loan spreads. further spreads greater who have information inherently costlier process. Results difference-in-differences specification along other alternative research designs provide similar inferences. Subsequent adoption, show are lower...
We investigated the interplay of matrix dynamics with molecular a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter, NAI-DMAC, to identify factors that influence photophysical processes leading TADF. The surrounding NAI-DMAC molecules were varied continuously from liquid solid state by depositing toluene solutions containing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and onto optical substrates. monitored changes emission as films dried form PMMA using temperature- time-resolved...
Abstract Strontium salts are widely used in red flame pyrotechnic compositions, usually combined with perchlorate as oxidizer. The potential environmental impact of could be avoided by using high‐nitrogen compounds. Therefore, the following nitrogen‐rich strontium were prepared and characterized: tetrazolate pentahydrate ( 1 ), 1‐methyl‐5‐nitriminotetrazolate monohydrate 2 1‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐5‐nitriminotetrazolate 3 ). Their combustion behavior both color intensity purity investigated...
Suicide represents a major health concern, especially in developing countries. While many demographic risk factors have been proposed, the underlying molecular pathology of suicide remains poorly understood. A body evidence suggests that aberrant DNA methylation and expression is involved. In this study, we examined profiles concordant gene changes prefrontal cortex Mexicans who died by suicide.In collaboration with coroner's office Mexico City, brain samples males (n = 35) age-matched...

A total 262 managers Chinese small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were enrolled via an online questionnaire. Data scrutinized by partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0. findings study reveal that capabilities can positively affect innovation...
Mutations in the nucleotide oligomerization domain-2 (NOD2) gene and positive antibodies to microbial antigens have been found be associated with Crohn's disease (CD) phenotype, fibrostenosis. The aim of this study was confirm these relationships a large cohort CD patients determine correlation between presence NOD2 variants oligomannan, CBir, outer membrane porin-C (OmpC), I2 fibrostenosis.Sera DNA from 731 unrelated were tested for (SNP 8, 12, 13) antibodies. results correlated phenotypes,...
