[Unmet Needs in Stroke Aftercare - A Survey of Stroke Survivors in Germany].

Surviving stroke has become more common since implementing stroke units in Germany. Little information is available regarding life after stroke and unmet stroke survivors' needs in Germany. This survey is an attempt to close some information gaps.

Sustainable Conversion of Biomass to Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanochains.

The conversion of biochar, the low value byproduct of pyrolysis bio-oil production from biomass multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon nanochains (CNCs), is reported. It is shown that biomass can be converted to long (>30 µm) carbon nanotubes with an anomalously deep (>280 nm) stacked-cup structure. A mechanism of the transformation that is consistent with previously reported graphitization of biochar, a "non-graphitizable" carbon, is proposed, suggesting the molten metal catalyst is absorbed into the biochar by capillary action, forming graphene walls as it percolates through pore structure.

Help-seeking behavior, treatment barriers and facilitators, attitudes and access to first-line treatment in German adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Background: Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) face both personal and system-based barriers in receiving first-line treatment, i.e. cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Towards high-temperature fuel cells using sulfonated-phosphonated poly(pentafluorostyrene).

Herein, we present a hybrid polymer material with phosphonic acid and sulfonic acid moieties on a poly(pentafluorostyrene) backbone utilizing the SAr Michaelis-Arbuzov and the -fluoro-thiol reaction. Blending the hybrid material with a benzimidazole polymer yielded a mechanically stable membrane featuring proton conductivities up to three times higher than conventional Nafion N211 at temperatures above 120 °C.

An Unexplored Diversity for Adaptation of Germination to High Temperatures in Species.

Elevated temperatures inhibit the germination of a concerning number of crop species. One strategy to mitigate the impact of warming temperatures is to identify and introgress adaptive genes into elite germplasm. Diversity must be sought in wild populations, coupled with an understanding of the complex pattern of adaptation across a broad range of landscapes.
