Ultra-high surface area fibrous silica-zirconia support for renewable energy production by CO2 methanation by Hatta, A. H., Aishah, Abdul Jalil, Nurul Sahida, Hassan, M. Y.S., Hamid, M. N., Haron, Nabgan, Walid, Bulliard-Sauret, Odin, Mahadi, Bahari, Mohd Asraff, Asmadi, Herma Dina, Setiabudi

“…Importantly, all catalysts exhibited exceptional stability with no deactivation observed, but the thermal stability of Ni/FSZr was superior, indicating that the fibrous morphology may possibly withstand the formation of coke and resist deactivation. These findings suggest that Ni/FSZr is an effective catalyst for efficient CO2 methanation, which can be beneficial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.…”

Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”

Microscopic dynamics underlying the stress relaxation of arrested soft materials by Song, Jake, Zhang, Qingteng, de Quesada, Felipe, Rizvi, Mehedi H., Tracy, Joseph B., Ilavsky, Jan, Narayanan, Suresh, Del Gado, Emanuela, Leheny, Robert L., Holten-Andersen, Niels, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…We also show that perturbing the system via small mechanical deformations can result in large intermittent fluctuations in the form of avalanches, which give rise to a broad non-Gaussian spectrum of relaxation modes at short times that is observed in stress relaxation measurements. These findings suggest that the linear viscoelastic stress relaxation in arrested soft materials may be governed by nonlinear phenomena involving an interplay of internal stress relaxations and perturbation-induced intermittent avalanches.…”

Chemical dispersant enhances microbial exopolymer (EPS) production and formation of marine oil/dispersant snow in surface waters of the subarctic northeast Atlantic by Suja, Laura Duran, Chen, Xindi, Summers, Stephen, Paterson, David M., Gutierrez, Tony

“…Using barcoded-amplicon Illumina MiSeq sequencing, we analyzed, for the first time, the bacterial communities associated with MDS and report that their diversity is not significantly dissimilar to those associated with MOS aggregates. Our findings emphasize the need to conduct further work on the effects of dispersants when applied to oil spills at sea, particularly at different sites, and to determine how the product of this (i.e. …”

Chromatin laser imaging reveals abnormal nuclear changes for early cancer detection by Chen, Yu-Cheng, Chen, Qiushu, Tan, Xiaotain, Chen, Grace, Bergin, Ingrid, Muhammad Nadeem Aslam, Fan, Xudong

“…The low lasing threshold is, in fact, very similar to that of adenomas and is caused by abnormal cell proliferation and chromatin deregulation that can potentially lead to cancer. Our findings suggest that conventional detection methods, such as colonoscopy followed by histopathology, by itself, may be insufficient to reveal hidden or early tumors under development. …”

Singles' reasons for being single : empirical evidence from an evolutionary perspective by Apostolou, Menelaos, O, Jiaqing, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Younger people were more likely to indicate that they were single because they had poor flirting skills, because they did not see themselves as desirable mates, and because they did not like commitment; whereas older people were more likely to indicate that they were single in order to be free to do what they have wanted. Findings were examined and discussed using evolutionary theories relating to mate selection and evolutionary mismatch.…”

Altmetrics : factor analysis for assessing the popularity of research articles on Twitter by Pandian, Nandhini Devi Soundara, Veeramachaneni, Bhargavi, Na, Jin-Cheon, Boothaladinni, Rashmi Vishwanath

“…Then we build a negative binomial regression model with the number of Twitter mentions of an article as a dependant variable, and nine Twitter related factors (the number of followers, number of friends, number of status, number of lists, number of favourites, number of retweets, number of likes, ratio of academic users, and ratio of expert users) and seven article related factors (the number of authors, title length, abstract length, abstract readability, number of institutions, citation count, and availability of research funding) as independent variables. From our findings, if a research article is mentioned by Twitter users with a greater number of friends, status, favourites, and lists, by tweets with a large number of retweets and likes, and largely by Twitter users with academic and expertise knowledge on the field of psychology, the article gains more Twitter mentions. …”

Adhesive properties of adsorbed layers of two recombinant mussel foot proteins with different levels of DOPA and tyrosine by Bilotto, Pierluigi, Labate, Cristina, De Santo, Maria P., Deepankumar, Kanagavel, Miserez, Ali, Zappone, Bruno

“…While DOPA produced a stronger adhesion than tyrosine in contact with the nanoscopic Si3N4 probe of the atomic force microscope, the two variants produced comparable adhesion on the curved macroscopic mica surfaces of the surface forces apparatus. These findings show that the presence of DOPA is not a sufficient condition to generate strong underwater adhesion. …”
