Why Is Maternal Control Harmful? The Relation between Maternal Control, Insecure Attachment and Antisocial Personality Disorder Features in Chinese College Students: A Sequential Mediation Model.

Background: Previous work has indicated that a negative parenting style is associated with antisocial personality disorder features in Chinese college students, yet few studies have explored the unique role of negative mothering in children's antisocial personality disorder.

Methods: The current study mainly examined the sequential mediation effect of parental antipathy and neglect (PAN) and mother negative loving (a form of insecure attachment) in the association between mother control and adulthood antisocial personality disorder features (ASPD features) in the framework of attachment theory and cognitive-behavioral theory. A community sample of 1547 Chinese college students filled in the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire, the Adult Attachment Questionnaire and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+.

An NHC-catalyzed [3+2] cyclization of β-disubstituted enals with benzoyl cyanides.

The NHC-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cyclization of benzoyl cyanides to homoenolate generated from enals was reported. This methodology leads to the efficient construction of a series of chiral cyclic compounds bearing vicinal quaternary stereocenters under mild reaction conditions. Additionally, the representative large-scale and derivatization reactions of the chiral cyclic products reveal the potential synthetic utility of this protocol.

Graphene/Si Schottky solar cells: a review of recent advances and prospects.

Graphene has attracted tremendous interest due to its unique physical and chemical properties. The atomic thickness, high carrier mobility and transparency make graphene an ideal electrode material which can be applied to various optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photodetectors. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing graphene/silicon Schottky junction solar cells and the power conversion efficiency has reached up to 15.

Large-area perovskite solar cells - a review of recent progress and issues.

In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted great attention in the photovoltaic research field, because of their high-efficiency (certified 22.1%) and low-cost. In this review paper, we briefly introduce the history of efficiency development for PSCs, and discuss some of the major problems for large-area (≥1 cm) PSC devices.

Enantioselective cooperative proton-transfer catalysis using chiral ammonium phosphates.

Chiral phosphorate anions are shown to be highly enantioselective templates for proton-transfer catalysis. A salt generated in situ from a bridgehead amine and a BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid serves as an effective proton-shuttle that exhibits remarkable enantioselectivity in a bioinspired, triple co-operative catalysis involving an achiral NHC. Thioesters with a β-chiral center can be prepared in a single step from substituted cinnamaldehyde derivatives, with up to 99% yield and 99% ee.

Iridium-Catalyzed Aerobic α,β-Dehydrogenation of γ,δ-Unsaturated Amides and Acids: Activation of Both α- and β-C-H bonds through an Allyl-Iridium Intermediate.

Direct aerobic α,β-dehydrogenation of γ,δ-unsaturated amides and acids using a simple iridium/copper relay catalysis system is described. We developed a new strategy that overcomes the challenging issue associated with the low α-acidity of amides and acids. Instead of α-C-H metalation, this reaction proceeds by β-C-H activation, which results in enhanced α-acidity.

[Influence of Nitrogen Flow Rate on the Structure and Luminescence Properties of Silicon-Rich Silicon Nitride Film Materials in a High Hydrogen Atmosphere].

High hydrogenated silicon-rich silicon nitride(SiNx∶H)thin films are deposited on the glass and monocrystalline silicon(110) substrates by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using SiH4 and H2 as the main reaction gas with doping the N2. The ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectrum are applied to characterize the changes of the band gap, the microstructure and related photoluminescence properties of the nitrogen-doped silicon film. It shows that hydrogen atoms can suppress the defects in the film and make film present silicon-rich under the low SiH4/H2 flow ratio, but they are not beneficial to the formation of silicon clusters in a hydrogen atmosphere.
