Striatal and Behavioral Responses to Reward Vary by Socioeconomic Status in Adolescents by Decker, Alexandra L, Meisler, Steven L., Hubbard, Nicholas A., Bauer, Clemens C.C., Leonard, Julia, Grotzinger, Hannah, Giebler, Melissa A., Torres, Yesi Camacho, Imhof, Andrea, Romeo, Rachel, Gabrieli, John D. E.

“…Moreover, immediate reward reinforced previously rewarding decisions (win-stay, lose-switch) and slowed responses (post-reward pausing), particularly when rewards were scarce. Notably, lower-SES adolescents slowed down less after rare rewards than higher-SES adolescents. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…For more flexible leaves, defined as having a ratio of drag force to restoring force due to stiffness greater than 100, drag reduction due to current-induced deflection competes against drag augmentation due to lower relative motion, such that enhancing current speeds reduces wave energy dissipation only when the current velocity is less than one-third of the maximum wave velocity. …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…In this thesis, I aim to build a synergistic understanding of language processing in both ANN models and the language network in the human brain by addressing three main questions: 1. When and how do human brains and ANN language models converge or diverge in their representations during language processing? …”

History dependence of the microstructure on time-dependent deformation during in-situ cooling of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy by Panwisawas, Chinnapat, D’Souza, Neil, Collins, David M., Bhowmik, Ayan, Roebuck, Bryan

“…The saturation stresses in the flow stress experiments show very good agreement with the stresses measured in the cooling experiments when viscoplastic deformation is dominant. This study demonstrates that experimentation during high-temperature deformation as well as the history dependence of the microstructure during cooling plays a key role in deriving an accurate viscoplastic constitutive law for the thermo-mechanical process during cooling from solidification.…”

Synthesis of Au@Pd core/shell nanomaterials for high-performance ethanol oxidation reactions by Xu, Weichang

“…The deposited amount of Pd can be tuned by the concentration of Pd precursor. When the concentration of PdCl2 was reduced to 2.5 mM, the Au surface would be partially coated with Pd domains and the CV scan could facilitate the physical movement of Pd atoms to realize full coverage of the exposed Au surface. …”

Scaffold-mediated sustained, non-viral delivery of miR-219/miR-338 promotes CNS remyelination by Milbreta, Ulla, Lin, Junquan, Pinese, Coline, Ong, William, Chin, Jiah Shin, Shirahama, Hitomi, Mi, Ruifa, Williams, Anna, Bechler, Marie E., Wang, Jun, ffrench-Constant, Charles, Hoke, Ahmet, Chew, Sing Yian

“…At the host-implant interface, more compact myelin sheaths were observed when animals received miR-219/miR-338. Similarly within the scaffolds, miR-219/miR-338 samples contained significantly more myelin basic protein (MBP) signals (p < 0.01) and higher myelination index (p < 0.05) than Neg miR samples. …”

Improving patient outcomes following total knee arthroplasty : identifying rehabilitation pathways based on modifiable psychological risk and resilience factors by Ditton, Elizabeth, Johnson, Sarah, Hodyl, Nicolette, Flynn, Traci, Pollack, Michael, Ribbons, Karen, Walker, Frederick Rohan, Nilsson, Michael

“…Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly implemented elective surgical treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee, demonstrating high success rates when assessed by objective medical outcomes. However, a considerable proportion of TKA patients report significant dissatisfaction postoperatively, related to enduring pain, functional limitations, and diminished quality of life. …”

Sensitivity study of weather research and forecasting physical schemes and evaluation of cool coating effects in Singapore by weather research and forecasting coupled with urban ca... by Zhou, Mandi, Long, Yongping, Zhang, Xiaoqin, Donthu, Eswara V. S. K. K., Ng, Bing Feng, Wan, Man Pun

“…Maximum UHI intensity of 3.2°C is found at nighttime (21:00) at a hot spot in the Commercial/Industrial area. At nighttime, when the UHI effect is generally more intense than daytime, applying cool coating on all urban surfaces can reduce the UHI effect by about 30% in residential areas and about 6% in commercial/industrial areas. …”

Synthesis of metal nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases and their applications in electrocatalysis by Liu, Jiawei

“…These nanorods, with similar size and morphology, but different crystal phases, provide an effective platform to explore the crystal phase-dependent catalytic applications. When they are employed as electrocatalysts toward the electrochemical ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline media, both the mass activity and stability follow the trend that the L12 PdCuSn > L12 Pd3Sn > fcc Pd3Sn > Pd/C, demonstrating the significance of alloying effect and crystal phase in determining their catalytic performance.…”
