Boosting flexible laser-induced graphene supercapacitors performance through double pass laser processing.

This study proposes a simple and cost-effective approach to enhance the performance of supercapacitors based on laser-induced graphene (LIG). The use of two consecutive laser passes using the same CO engraver on polyimide film led to the expansion in the size of the pores, the increase in the graphitization degree, and the densification of the produced material. These changes in the morphology and chemical structure of the LIG impacted positively its electrochemical performance when it was used as an electrode for supercapacitors.

Novel PiuC, PirA, and PiuA mutations leading to cefiderocol resistance progression in IMP-16- and KPC-2-producing from a leukemic patient.

Unlabelled: is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections in immunocompromised individuals, who often require prolonged antibiotic therapy. The emergence of carbapenemase-producing has further complicated the management of nosocomial infections, limiting therapeutic options. Cefiderocol has recently emerged as a promising antipseudomonal agent, using the bacterial iron transport system to gain entry into the cell; however, there have been reports of resistant to cefiderocol.

Beneficial Effects of a Moderately High-Protein Diet on Telomere Length in Subjects with Overweight or Obesity.

Background And Aim: Telomere length (TL) is a key biomarker of cellular aging, with shorter telomeres associated with age-related diseases. Lifestyle interventions mitigating telomere shortening are essential for preventing such conditions. This study aimed to examine the effects of two weight loss dietary strategies, based on a moderately high-protein (MHP) diet and a low-fat (LF) diet on TL in individuals with overweight or obesity.

Copper-Modified Cellulose Paper: A Comparative Study of How Antimicrobial Activity Is Affected by Particle Size and Testing Standards.

This study aims to provide evidence that when testing cellulose paper modified with copper particles (CuPs), the particle size and the analysis method influence the antimicrobial activity observed by this material. Commercial CuPs of nanometric size (2.7 nm, CuNPs) and micrometric size (2.

Automated adjustment of metabolic niches enables the control of natural and engineered microbial co-cultures.

Much attention has focused on understanding microbial interactions leading to stable co-cultures. In this work, substrate pulsing was performed to promote better control of the metabolic niches (MNs) corresponding to each species, leading to the continuous co-cultivation of diverse microbial organisms. We used a cell-machine interface, which allows adjustment of the temporal profile of two MNs according to a rhythm, ensuring the successive growth of two species, in our case, a yeast and a bacterium.
