Development of an educational method to rethink and learn oncological brain surgery in an “a la carte” connectome-based perspective by Valdes, Pablo A., Ng, Sam, Bernstock, Joshua D., Duffau, Hugues

“…Results Using patient-specific perioperative MRIs with open-sourced and co-registered atlas-derived WMTs, we highlight the critical subnetworks requiring specific surgical monitoring identified intraoperatively using direct electrostimulation mapping with cognitive monitoring. The aim of this didactic method is to provide the neurosurgical oncology community with an accessible and ready-to-use educational tool, enabling neurosurgeons to improve their knowledge of WMTs and to better learn their oncologic cases, especially in glioma surgery using awake mapping. …”

Influence of calcination temperature on nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized by thermal treatment by Manal, Ahmed Hashem

“…In the present work, crystalline nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles have been synthesized using a simple thermal treatment method from a well-mixed solution containing only nickel nitrate as a metal precursor, polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a capping agent, and deionized water as a solvent before proceeded by drying at 80 oC for 24 h, grounding, and calcination at different temperatures range from 500 to 800 oC. …”

Experimental investigation on the effect of masked multiple passes abrasive waterjet machining surface texturing on coefficient of friction by Hafiz, Husin, Mohd Nazir, Mat Nawi, Asmelash, Mebrahitom Asmelash, Kushendarsyah, Saptaji, Azmir, Azhari

“…According to the findings, there is less friction in craters with greater densities because there are more craters in the contact zone, which improves the trapping of debris particles and reduces friction, when the crater density rises from 4% to 18%, there is a greater chance of worn debris becoming trapped, which reduces friction. …”

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS_2) as a broadband saturable absorber for ultra-fast photonics by Zhang, H, Lu, S B, Zheng, J, Du, J, Wen, S C, Tang, D Y, Loh, K P

“…To explore its potential applications in ultrafast photonics, we fabricated a passive mode locker for ytterbium-doped fibre laser by depositing few-layered MoS2 onto the end facet of optical fiber by means of an optical trapping approach. Our laser experiment shows that few-layer MoS2-based mode locker allows for the generation of stable mode-locked laser pulse, centered at 1054.3 nm, with a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 2.7 nm and a pulse duration of 800 ps. …”

Probing the toxicity mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on bacteria by Hartono, Maria Regina, Kushmaro, Ariel, Chen, Xiaodong, Marks, Robert S.

“…Using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, we demonstrated that membrane damage is caused largely by MWCNTs trapping bacteria and piercing the cell walls. As a result of our observations, we propose integrating MWCNTs and bacteria degradation for pollutant removal in nutrient-rich media to minimize the toxicity effect of CNTs.…”
