Multifunctional Cyclized Polyacrylonitrile (cPAN) as a Coating for Sb-Based Anodes in Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Conversion electrodes, such as antimony (Sb), are high energy density electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). These materials are limited in their performance due to the mechanical instability of these systems resulting from volume expansion of the material during cycling. Stabilizing conversion materials using a conductive polymer binder (CPB) protective layer is an effective way to enhance the performance of these materials.

An attempt to integrate information from young children into parent/teacher-based mental health evaluation of child internalizing disorders in epidemiological surveys.

Background: To date, most large surveys on the mental health of children under 11 years old have relied exclusively on data collected from parents and teachers, with no information from children themselves. However, these children are valuable informants despite their young age.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of adding young children's self-evaluation of internalizing disorders to a combined teacher/parent-based algorithm using data from a European survey carried out in Italy, Bulgaria, and in the Netherlands.

Emotion coupling across socialization contexts in adolescence: Differences in parent-child and peer interactions.

People spontaneously adjust their emotions to others when they interact. This temporal coupling of emotions is an adaptive process facilitating social bonding. The present study examined differences in coupling patterns during parent-child versus peer interactions in adolescence, a developmental period marked by evolving parent-child dynamics and bond formation with peers.

The conformational landscape of fold-switcher KaiB is tuned to the circadian rhythm timescale.

How can a single protein domain encode a conformational landscape with multiple stably folded states, and how do those states interconvert? Here, we use real-time and relaxation-dispersion NMR to characterize the conformational landscape of the circadian rhythm protein KaiB from . Unique among known natural metamorphic proteins, this KaiB variant spontaneously interconverts between two monomeric states: the "Ground" and "Fold-switched" (FS) states. KaiB in its FS state interacts with multiple binding partners, including the central KaiC protein, to regulate circadian rhythms.

Towards a better understanding of inequity and the psychological processes underlying the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status.

As poverty in the U.S. is increasing and the income gap continues to rise, addressing disparities in socioeconomic status (SES) has become a national priority.
