On oxygen-containing groups in chemically modified graphenes by Bonanni, Alessandra, Ambrosi, Adriano, Pumera, Martin

“…Herein, the four most commonly used CMGs, mainly electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ER-GO), thermally reduced graphene oxide (TR-GO), and the corresponding starting materials, that is, graphene oxide and graphite oxide, were comprehensively characterized by a wide variety of methods, such as high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and voltammetry, to establish connections between the structures of these materials that carry different oxygen functionalities and their electrochemical behaviors. …”

Identification and characterisation of the haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells at risk for leukaemia development following radiation exposure by Verbiest, T

“…Finally, we report on a gender-dependent leukaemic progression and characterisation where 3 Gy irradiated male mice only present with acute myeloid leukemia and irradiated female mice mainly develop leukaemia with a lymphoid phenotype. …”

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision-making in the fruit fly by Wong, LHT

“…I find that photostimulation quickens reaction times as a function of odour contrast and light intensity. This is mainly explained by a reduction of the bound height in drift-diffusion models, consistent with the representation of the integrated amount, rather than the momentary level, of evidence in αβc KCs. …”

Multisensory processing in the ferret auditory cortex by Hammond-Kenny, A

Effectiveness of supervised versus self-directed rehabilitation for adults aged 50 years and over with ankle fractures: protocol for the AFTER trial by Keene, DJ, Achten, J, Forde, C, Png, ME, Grant, R, Draper, K, Appelbe, D, Tutton, E, Peckham, N, Dutton, SJ, Lamb, SE, Costa, ML

“…<p><strong>Aims</p></strong> Ankle fractures are common, mainly affecting adults aged 50 years and over. To aid recovery, some patients are referred to physiotherapy, but referral patterns vary, likely due to uncertainty about the effectiveness of this supervised rehabilitation approach. …”

The attribution of February extremes over North America: a forecast-based storyline study by Lee, D, Sparrow, S, Leach, N, Osprey, S, Lee, J, Allen, M

“…In the globally averaged results, increasing CO₂ concentrations lead to distinct warming signals at the surface, resulting mainly from diabatic heating. Our study finds that CO₂-induced warming eventually affects the possibility of extreme events in North America, quantifying the impact of anthropogenic forcing over less than a week’s forecast simulation. …”

Computational diagnostics and characterization of combustion recession in diesel sprays by Arguelles, FJ, Fagade, MD, Mehra, J, Xu, C, Sekularac, N, Fang, XH

“…In particular, this study demonstrated for the first time that while combustion recession is mainly auto-ignition dominated (consistent with the literature), a cool flame was found to deflagrate towards the richer regions of the mixture, promoting mixing and increasing the mixture temperature. …”

News framing of the 2022 Russian-Ukrainian conflict: a comparative analysis of CNN (USA) and CCTV (China) from a war and peace journalism perspective by Wang, Yao, Shahrul Nazmi Sannusi, Shamsiah Abd Kadir

“…The findings revealed that CNN mainly focused on “Humanitarian Crisis and Civilian Impacts” and “Military Operations and Strategic”, whereas CCTV predominantly centred on the themes of “Military Operations and Strategic” and “Political Reactions and Stances”. …”
