It is well recognised that endothermic processes such as dehydration and partial melting have the potential to exert measurable effects on the maximum temperatures reached in metamorphic rock systems. We show migmatitic metapelitic and mafic granulites record temperatures of ~ 820 °C, while spatially associated refractory Mg-Al-rich granulites record temperatures between 865 °C and > 920 °C. These thermally contrasting samples are separated by ~ 1500 m, with no apparent intervening faults or shear zones to explain the apparent difference in peak metamorphic conditions.

Background: Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) achieves greater reach than ICBT delivered with therapist guidance, but demonstrates poorer engagement and fewer clinical benefits. Alternative models of care are required that promote engagement and are effective, accessible, and scalable.

Objective: This randomized trial evaluated whether a stepped care approach to ICBT using therapist guidance via videoconferencing for the step-up component (ICBT-SC[VC]) is noninferior to ICBT with full therapist delivery by videoconferencing (ICBT-TG[VC]) for child and adolescent anxiety.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how surviving malaria parasites interact with mosquito midgut cells to form oocysts, which are crucial for producing infectious sporozoites.
  • Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers explored developmental transitions and mosquito-parasite interactions over time and different metabolic conditions.
  • Key findings include the essential role of a transcription factor called SIP2 for infecting human liver cells, and the discovery of mechanisms that help parasites adhere to the midgut without causing damage, providing potential targets for stopping malaria transmission.

Article Synopsis
  • Below 28 nm in diameter, the surface structure of anatase titania changes, affecting bond lengths and lattice parameters alongside a shift in point of zero charge (PZC) towards lower pH values.
  • The study aimed to correlate the structural changes of titania with the decrease in PZC values as particle size shrinks, using a method that controlled other variables.
  • The findings revealed two distinct regions: Region I (above 29 nm diameter) where PZC stays constant, and Region II (below 29 nm) where PZC decreases linearly due to changes in band gap, lattice parameters, and ionic content.

This is the first work to investigate if and/or how changes in the surface structure/properties affect the charge transfer resistance ( ) of anatase titania with decreasing particle size. It was accomplished by measuring the (Ω) of same weight anatase titania pellets, with particle sizes ranging from 5.31 nm to 142.
