We corrected the ESV coefficient using the equivalent factor method for value per unit area and integrated the biomass factor of farmland ecosystems in Shaanxi Province.

Relationship between transition shock, resilience, career calling, and retention intention among new nurses: a moderated mediation model.

Background: Nurse shortage has become an ongoing and urgent problem worldwide. The high turnover rate of new nurses, who are the primary backup personnel for the nursing force, exacerbates the possibility of this situation. Transition shock has been demonstrated to be critical in influencing new nurses' retention intention.

Exploring Stakeholder Perspectives on the Transitional Care Needs of Elderly Patients from Hospital to Home: A Phenomenological Study in Shanxi Province, China.

Background: Elderly patients, due to their complex medical conditions and extensive care needs, are at risk of experiencing low-quality or fragmented care during transitions between different healthcare settings.

Revealing the Electrocatalytic Self-Assembly Route from Building Blocks into Giant Mo-Blue Clusters.

The assembly of single-core molybdate into hundreds of cores of giant molybdenum blue (Mo-blue) clusters has remained a long-standing unresolved scientific puzzle. To reveal this fascinating self-assembly behavior, we demonstrate an aqueous flowing in-operando Raman characterization system to capture the building blocks' evolution from the "black box" reaction process. We successfully visualized the sequential transformation of NaMoO into MoO ({Mo}), high nuclear MoO ({Mo}) cluster, and finally polymerization product of [HKMoO(SO)] ({Mo(SO)}) during the HSO acidification.

Energy effective utilization of circulating fluidized bed fly ash to prepare silicon-aluminum composite aerogel and gypsum.

To reduce the cost of Si-Al aerogels preparation, circulating fluidized bed fly ash (CFA) was developed to be as the alternative to synthetic precursors. High energy consumption of alkali-melting and secondary wastes production were the major challenges. Here, a technique characterized by effective energy consumption and non-secondary waste was developed to convert CFA into Si-Al aerogel.

Insights into the self-assembly of giant polyoxomolybdates from building blocks to supramolecular structures.

Giant polyoxomolybdates are a special class of polyoxometalate clusters which can bridge the gap between small molecule clusters and large polymeric entities. Besides, giant polyoxomolybdates also show interesting applications in catalysis, biochemistry, photovoltaic and electronic devices, and other fields. Revealing the evolution route of the reducing species into the final cluster structure and also their further hierarchical self-assembly behaviour is undoubtedly fascinating, aiming to guide the design and synthesis.

Discovery of Amphiphilic Xanthohumol Derivatives as Membrane-Targeting Antimicrobials against Methicillin-Resistant .

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasing worldwide, and with limited clinically available antibiotics, it is urgent to develop new antimicrobials to combat these MDR bacteria. Here, a class of novel amphiphilic xanthohumol derivatives were prepared using a building-block approach. Bioactivity assays showed that the molecule not only exhibited a remarkable antibacterial effect against clinical methicillin-resistant (MRSA) isolates (MICs: 1-2 μg/mL) but also had the advantages of rapid bactericidal properties, low toxicity, good plasma stability, and not readily inducing bacterial resistance.

Compound displayed the most potent growth inhibitory (GI) effect on Walker, with a final corrected mortality rate of 82.

Combination therapy of hydrogel and stem cells for diabetic wound healing.

Diabetic wounds (DWs) are a common complication of diabetes mellitus; DWs have a low cure rate and likely recurrence, thus affecting the quality of patients' lives. As traditional therapy cannot effectively improve DW closure, DW has become a severe clinical medical problem worldwide. Unlike routine wound healing, DW is difficult to heal because of its chronically arrested inflammatory phase.

Porous {PMoO}-type Poly(oxometalate) Metal-Organic Frameworks for Improved Pseudocapacitance and Electrochemical Sensing Performance.

{PMo} poly(oxometalate) (POM) clusters have huge steric hindrance and limited active oxygen atoms, which make them difficult to combine with metal-organic units to form three-dimensional (3D) porous structures. Therefore, functionalization of such POMs has always been a bottleneck that is difficult to break through. In this study, {PMo} POM was successfully grafted on a lock-like metal-organic chain to generate a multiporous coordination polymer, [{Na(HO)(Hbtb)}{Cu(HO)(pz)Cl}{HSr⊂PMoMoO}]·3HO () (pz = pyrazine; btb = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazole) butane).
