Herein, we have successfully synthesized binary Ag2Se, composite Ag0:Ag2Se, and ternary Cu+:Ag2Se through an ambient aqueous-solution-based approach in a one-pot reaction at room temperature atmospheric pressure without involving high-temperature heating, multiple-processes treatment, organic solvents/surfactants. Effective controllability over phases compositions/components are demonstrated with feasibility for large-scale production exquisite alteration parameters especially pH enhancing...
DNA sequencing has allowed for the discovery of genetic cause a considerable diseases, opening up new ways to disease diagnostics. However, due lack clinical samples and records, molecular rare is always hard be identified, which significantly limits number Mendelian diseases diagnosed by technologies. Thus phenotype information becomes major resources diagnose diseases. In this article, we adopted both phenotypic similarity method machine learning build four diagnostic models support...
Abstract Wearable metabolite sensors are often limited by easily denaturable enzymes that only allow short‐duration monitoring. Although encapsulating in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) shows promise of long‐term enzyme protection, it is typically accompanied significantly decreased activity due to increased diffusion barrier, steric hindrance for enzyme‐substrate binding, and poor enzyme‐electronic interface. Herein, the co‐encapsulation ultrasmall arginine‐derived carbon dots (Argdot) into...
At present, very limited methods can directly modulate the neural activities in deep brain structures human participants. Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), as an emerging and advanced modality of non-invasive (NIBS), has great potential for focally stimulating subcortical that are related to sleep, emotion functions motor cognition. Due focality, integration various methods, including magnetic resonance imaging possible pathways, is important perform TUS intervention...
High-entropy ceramics hold promise for application as thermal barrier coating materials. However, a key challenge in practical applications lies the low fracture toughness compared to that of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Herein, we designed (Hf,Zr,Ce,M)O2−δ–Al2O3 (M = Y, Ca, and Gd) ceramic composites by following set fundamental guidelines. First-principles calculations predicted inclusion Al2O3 compositions containing other four binary oxides decreased propensity single high-entropy...
Background Despite transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated encouraging potential for modulating the circadian rhythm, little is known about how well and sustainably tDCS might improve subjective sleep quality in older adults. This study sought to determine affected cognition, as pre-treatment predicted effects on domain-specific cognitive functions patients with mild neurocognitive disorder due Alzheimer’s disease (NCD-AD). Methods clinical trial aimed compare...
This paper explores the relationship between participation in social movement and intention to emigrate. Drawing from data collected January March 2021, after 2019 Hong Kong had subsided, we identified two important findings related First, five key domains of governance which level dissatisfaction is emigration intention: economic opportunities, human rights protection, living natural environment, cultural continuity, stability institutions. Second, found that not always significantly with...
This study explored the properties and pyrolysis characteristics of oxidatively torrefied cellulose to enhance biomass utilization conversion. Cellulose was at 200–300 °C with oxygen concentrations 0%–15%. The carbon content in could reach up 53.06%, while decreased 41.53% under conditions 300 a 15% concentration. Meanwhile, its higher heating value (HHV) increased from 15.22 16.95 MJ/kg, improving energy density fuel quality. Both yield (CY) (EY) noticeably increasing °C, reaching minimum...
Background: The changes of circadian rhythm are very common in senior adults, which can lead to decreased quality life and jeopardize the brain health long run. Among all types sleep disturbances, poor quality, as a modifiable condition, greatly affect daily activities, cognitive functions, life, even be implicated key potential contributing factor development accelerated decline prodromal dementia. Consequently, research efforts understand, thus potentially model, effects on cognition...
The challenges posed by climate change have had a crucial impact on global food security, with crop yields negatively affected abiotic and biotic stresses. Consequently, the identification of stress-responsive genes (SRGs) in crops is essential for augmenting their resilience. This study presents computational model utilizing machine learning techniques to predict Chinese cabbage that respond four stresses: cold, heat, drought, salt. To construct this model, data from relevant studies...
Compositionally tuned hybridization of n-type Ag 0 : 2 Se is achieved under ambient conditions via an aqueous synthetic approach in the absence surfactants towards excellent thermoelectric properties at room temperature.
Background:Memory and learning, as the core brain function, shows controversial results across studies focusing on aging dementia. One of reasons is because multi-faceted nature memory learning. However, there still a dearth comparable proxies with psychometric morph ometric portrait in clinical non-clinical populations. Objective:We aim to investigate learning function direct derived measures examine their associations morphometric features senior adults different cognitive status....
