Volatile Memristive Devices with Analog Resistance Switching Based on Self-Assembled Squaraine Microtubes as Synaptic Emulators.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
January 2024
In this work, the discovery of volatile memristive devices that exhibit analog resistive switching (RS) and synaptic emulation based on squaraine materials is presented. Specifically, organic microtubes (MTs) based on 2,4-bis[(4-(,-diisobutyl)-2-6-hydroxyphenyl]squaraine (SQ) are prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). The MTs are ca.

We aimed to estimate the extent to which household income supplements for lower-income families in early childhood could close the gap in children's developmental outcomes and parental mental health.
Methods: Data were drawn from a nationally representative birth cohort, the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (N = 5107), which commenced in 2004 and conducted follow-ups every two years.
Article Synopsis
- Lower maternal education is linked to higher BMI and chronic inflammation in children, influenced by childhood adversities like family violence and mental illness.
- Data from two studies (LSAC and ALSPAC) shows that kids with low/medium maternal education have significantly higher BMI and inflammation markers compared to those with high maternal education.
- Addressing childhood adversities could potentially narrow these health gaps, suggesting the need for public health initiatives that target both the impacts of adversity and the socioeconomic factors at play.
Background: Prevention is key to reducing socioeconomic inequities in children's mental health problems, especially given limited availability and accessibility of services. We investigated the potential to reduce inequities for disadvantaged children by improving parental mental health and preschool attendance in early childhood.
Methods: Data from the nationally representative birth cohort, Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (N = 5107, commenced in 2004), were used to examine the impact of socioeconomic disadvantage (0-1 year) on children's mental health problems (10-11 years).
