Boy's love fans versus non-fans in the sexual identity and neural response in the digital age's young females.

With the omnipresence of online social media, Boys' Love (BL) culture has found a burgeoning audience among young females. However, we know very little about the audience of this online cultural phenomena, also the potential implications of BL culture to female remain under-explored. Study 1 conducted a survey to investigate the BL audience's demography data and attitudes to homosexual ect.

Effect of hip CPM on gross motor function and development of the hip joint: a single-center randomized controlled study on spastic cerebral palsy children with hip dysplasia.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of hip continuous passive motion (hCPM) on hip development at skeletal maturity and gross motor function for spastic cerebral palsy children with hip dysplasia.

Methods: Prospective case-control research of hCPM with goal-directed training versus merely goal-directed training. On the basis of goal-directed training, the hCPM group used the hip joint CPM instrument (the external fixator was connected to the power device to make the hip joint carry out continuous passive movement) for 40-60 min, twice a day, and five times a week, and received continuous training for 8 weeks simultaneously.

A butterfly-like lead-doped titanium-oxide compound with high performance in photocatalytic cycloaddition of CO to epoxide.

The cycloaddition reaction of CO to epoxides is quite promising for CO capture and storage as well as the production of value-added fine chemicals. Herein, a novel atomically precise lead-doped titanium-oxide cluster with the formula TiPbO(phen)(Ac)(DMF) (denoted as Ti10Pb2; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; Ac = acetate; DMF = dimethylformamide) was synthesized through a facile solvothermal process, and is a molecular photocatalyst with surface-anchored main-group metal active sites. Its structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other complementary techniques.

Lead-Decorated Titanium Oxide Compound with a High Performance in Catalytic CO Insertion to Epoxides.

The CO cycloaddition to epoxides is an efficient method for CO capture and storage, important not only for reducing greenhouse gas emission but also for producing cyclic carbonates, which are valuable industrial materials. In this study, we report a novel high-nuclearity titanium oxide cluster (TOC) inlayed with main-group element Pb, HTiPbO(SA)(DMF)(OH) (denoted as ; SA = salicylate; DMF = ,-dimethylformamide), which has the property of visible-light absorption and has shown high catalytic activities for cycloadditions of CO under visible-light irradiation. The cluster was synthesized in a high yield in a facial solvothermal process.

New picolinate-functionalized titanium-oxide clusters: syntheses, structures and photocatalytic H evolution.

Two nanosized titanium-oxide clusters (TOCs), Ti(μ-O)(μ-O)PA (1; PA = 2-picolinate) and Ti(μ-O)PA (2) were synthesized by using 2-picolinic acid and Ti(OPr) in one-pot reactions. Their structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Although both have the same core composition of TiO, 1 exhibited superior H evolution activity of up to 180 μmol h g, which is nearly eight times faster than 2.

Cr-Ti Mixed Oxide Molecular Cages: Synthesis, Structure, Photoresponse, and Photocatalytic Properties.

The solvothermal reaction of titanium isopropoxide and chromate in the presence of benzoate produced two novel host-guest clusters encapsulating Cs or HO, and . The most remarkable feature is that the TiO ring is concentrically embraced by a CrO ring to form a rigid host. ESI-MS and Cs NMR revealed that the overall framework structures are preserved, whereas the benzoate ligands on the two clusters may be labile in solutions.

Comparison of the Effects of High Pressure Processing, Pasteurization and High Temperature Short Time on the Physicochemical Attributes, Nutritional Quality, Aroma Profile and Sensory Characteristics of Passion Fruit Purée.

The study investigated the effects of high-pressure processing (HPP) (600 MPa/5 min), pasteurization (PT) (85 °C/30 s), and high-temperature short time (HTST) (110 °C/8.6 s) on physicochemical parameters (sugar, acid, pH, TSS), sensory-related attributes (color, aroma compounds), antioxidants (phenolics, vitamin C, carotenoids, antioxidant capacity), and sensory attributes of yellow passion fruit purée (PFP). Compared to the PT and HTST, HPP obtained the PFP with better color, sugar, and organic acid profiles.

Syntheses, structures and ligand binding modes of titanium-oxide complexes of 2-picolinate.

Six titanium-oxide clusters (TOCs) comprised of 6-19 Ti atoms all of which are of nanometer size were synthesized with the functionalization of 2-picolinate (PA). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and a few complementary spectroscopic techniques. The binding modes of PA on the surface of the TOCs were analyzed and found to be limited to only one binding mode, that is, PA acts as a bidentate ligand through both pyridyl-N and the carboxylate-O.

A Mesoporous Lead-Doped Titanium Oxide Compound with High Performance and Recyclability in I Uptake and Photocatalysis.

A three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous material with an atomically precise structure, TiPbO(CHCO)(OCH) (), comprised of a novel high-nuclearity Pb-doped titanium oxide cluster (TOC), was synthesized. exhibited a surface area of 45 m g and a pore diameter of 3.5 nm.

Analysis of coloration characteristics of Tunisian soft-seed pomegranate arils based on transcriptome and metabolome.

In this study, combining metabolome and transcriptome, color related attributes and phenolic compositions of Tunisian pomegranate arils from 7 Chinese regions at same developing stage were studied. The total anthocyanin (TAC), flavonoids, and percent polymeric color (PPC) were ranged at 8.93-28.

Structural studies and molecular dynamic simulations of polyphenol oxidase treated by high pressure processing.

High pressure processing (HPP) exhibited different effect on polyphenol oxidase (PPO), but the conformational changes was not clear yet. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation combined with spectroscopic experiments were used to explore PPO conformational changes under high pressure at the molecular level. The simulation results showed that high pressure decreased volume and hydrogen bonds, induced changes in active center and movement of loop.
