Surface composition dependent ligand effect in tuning the activity of nickel–copper bimetallic electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution in alkaline by Wei, Chao, Sun, Yuanmiao, Scherer, Günther G., Fisher, Adrian C., Sherburne, Matthew, Ager, Joel W., Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…Such correlation indicates the descriptor role of d band center, and this hypothesis is further supported by the evidence that com-bining Ni and Cu produces a variety of adsorption sites, which possess near-optimal hydrogen binding energy. Our finding broadens the applicability of d band theory to activity prediction of metal electrocatalysts and may offer an insightful under-standing of alkaline HER mechanism.…”

Evidence for resistance of activated sludge flocs to deflocculative DO stress by Suresh, Akshaykumar, Grygolowicz-Pawlak, Ewa, Poh, Leong Soon, Maszenan Abdul Majid, Dominiak, Dominik, Bugge, Thomas Vistisen, Gao, Xin, Ng, Wun Jern

“…However, results of this study involving aerobic sludge from three different sources repeatedly indicated a lack of deflocculation after 24 h of low DO conditions. This finding has led to the conclusion that low DO might not be a direct cause of deflocculation. …”

Promoting healthier eating via parental communication : development and validation of the active and restrictive parental guidance questionnaire (PARQ) by Yee, Andrew Zi Han, Lwin, May Oo, Ho, Shirley S.

“…Building on the research in parental mediation of media consumption, and parenting practices in public health nutrition, this study details the development and validation of the active and restrictive parental guidance questionnaire with a sample of 246 children and adolescents at the scale development phase and another sample of 1,113 children and adolescents at the scale validation phase. Findings show that parents employ four communicative strategies to encourage a healthier diet: active guidance, general discussion, preventive restrictive guidance, and promotive restrictive guidance. …”

Cold chain shipping mode choice with environmental and financial perspectives by Zhang, Xiunian, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee, Iris, Çağatay

“…Furthermore, the paper evaluates greenhouse gas emissions from the cold chain shipping. Findings from a numerical example show that optimal ship speed decreases with a reducing rate when the bunker price increases and with a higher decline rate when goods are less perishable.…”

The midlife crisis by Giuntella, Osea, McManus, Sally, Mujcic, Redzo, Oswald, Andrew J., Powdthavee, Nattavudh, Tohamy, Ahmed

“…This is paradoxical and troubling. The finding is consistent, however, with the prediction – one little-known to economists – of Elliott Jaques (1965). …”

Strong piezoelectricity in 3R-MoS₂ flakes by Hallil, Hamida, Cai, Weifan, Zhang, Kang, Yu, Peng, Liu, Sheng, Xu, Ran, Zhu, Chao, Xiong, Qihua, Liu, Zheng, Zhang, Qing

“…These piezoelectric coefficients are not apparently dependent on the flake thickness. The findings suggest that 3R-MoS2 is of excellent piezoelectric properties and it can be an excellent material for novel piezoelectric devices.…”

Fake news, real risks: how online discussion and sources of fact-check influence public risk perceptions toward nuclear energy by Ho, Shirley S., Chuah, Agnes Soo Fei, Kim, Nuri, Tandoc, Edson C.

“…Of those who participated in the online discussion, those who viewed a fact-check posted by traditional media have higher risk perception as compared to those who viewed a fact-check posted by a fact-check organization. Our findings indicate that different fact-checking sources can have differential effects on public risk perceptions, depending on whether online discussion is involved. …”

The Rayleigh prolongation factor at small bubble to wall stand-off distances by Reuter, Fabian, Zeng, Qingyun, Ohl, Claus-Dieter

“…Collapse times are measured acoustically via the acoustic transients emitted during bubble seeding and collapse. The experimental findings are compared, with good agreement, to numerical simulations based on a volume of fluid method. …”

Impact of disruption on ship emissions in port: case of pandemic in Long Beach by He, Zhengxin, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee, Liang, Maohan

“…The analysis compares data from three years before and after the pandemic to examine the relationship between ship waiting times, quantities, and emissions. The findings indicate that the majority of port-wide ship emissions are generated by berthing or anchoring vessels, from ship auxiliary engines and boilers. …”

Neural processing of sexist comments: associations between perceptions of sexism and prefrontal activity by Neoh, Michelle Jin-Yee, Bizzego, Andrea, Teng, Jia Hui, Gabrieli, Giulio, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Future research can expand on these initial findings by looking at subcortical structures involved in emotional processing and gender stereotype application as well as examining cultural differences in perceptions of gender stereotypes and sexism.…”

The determinants of users' intention to adopt telehealth: health belief, perceived value and self-determination perspectives by Yuen, Kum Fai, Chua, Jie Ying, Li, Xue, Wang, Xueqin

“…Using an online survey conducted in Singapore, the study collected 500 responses for data analysis. The findings indicate that perceived threat, cues to action, and perceived relatedness directly affect perceived value, while self-efficacy, perceived relatedness, and perceived autonomy have a significant direct impact on emotion. …”

Contribution of the Hydration Force to Vesicle Adhesion on Titanium Oxide by Jackman, Joshua A., Zan, Goh Haw, Zhao, Zhilei, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Within an experimentally significant range of conditions, the model shows that the magnitude of the repulsive hydration force strongly influences the behavior of adsorbed vesicles, thereby supporting that the hydration force makes a strong contribution to the fate of adsorbed vesicles on titanium oxide. The findings are consistent with literature reports concerning phospholipid assemblies on solid supports and nanoparticles and underscore the importance of the hydration force in influencing the behavior of phospholipid films on hydrophilic surfaces.…”
