Single-cell RNA-seq methods can be used to delineate cell types and states at unprecedented resolution but do little to explain why certain genes are expressed. Single-cell ATAC-seq and multiome (ATAC + RNA) have emerged to give a complementary view of the cell state. It is however unclear what additional information can be extracted from ATAC-seq data besides transcription factor binding sites.

Since water is both a product and a common reactant impurity in the (partial) methanol oxidation to methyl formate (MeFo) on gold, its effect on the isothermal selectivity to methyl formate was investigated under well-defined single-collision conditions employing pulsed molecular beam experiments and in situ IRAS measurements. Both a flat Au(111) and a stepped Au(332) surface were used as model catalysts to elucidate how water affects the reactivity of low-coordinated step sites as compared to (111) terrace sites employing a range of reaction conditions. The interactions of water with methanol/methoxy as well as with oxygen species are addressed.

The unique structural properties of zeolites make them ideal environments for encapsulating subnanometric metal clusters on their microporous channels and cavities, showing an enhanced catalytic performance. As a first step towards the functionalization of these clusters as photocatalysts as well, this work addresses the optical properties of zeolite-encapsulated Cu-TiO nanoparticles as well as their application in the photo-induced activation of CO by sunlight. Model density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate the stability of the Cu cluster adsorbed on the TiO nanoparticles filling the pores of a model zeolite structure.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common complication of preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Mother's own milk (MOM) may mitigate the severity of BPD. Pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) is often used as an alternative when MOM is unavailable with limited information on the influence of PDHM on BPD risk and severity.

Anxiety in nursing students can interfere with the development of the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment necessary to practice in a complex health care environment. Thirteen faculty from nursing programs across one state were interviewed to explore faculty perceptions of anxiety among prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students. Data analysis from this qualitative study showed that faculty recognized anxiety in students and its contributing factors.
