Background: Research on food addiction has increased significantly in recent years. It has been demonstrated that food addiction can lead to impairments in physiological, psychological, and social functioning in individuals. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the influence of how individuals handle social situations on food addiction and the specific mechanisms involved.

Self-powered heterojunction PDs having ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared broadband photoresponse were constructed by using SnO nanopillars and CuInS nanoflakes. The dimension, crystalline quality, and energy level structure of the SnO nanopillars were regulated by changing the concentration of Sn ions in the precursor solution.

Regulation of charge transport at the molecular level is essential to elucidating the kinetics of junction photoelectrodes across the heterointerface for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Herein, an integrated photoanode as the prototype was constructed by use of a 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin-cobalt molecule (CoTCPP) and ZnO on hematite (α-FeO) photoanode. CoTCPP molecules serve as a typical hole transport layer (HTL), accelerating the transport of the photogenerated holes to oxygen evolution cocatalysts (OECs).

Herein, BiO nanosheets were deposited on the surface of TiO nanorod arrays (NRs) by chemical bath deposition (CBD) to construct self-powered heterojunction PDs with a UV-blue dual-band photoresponse. The nucleation and growth of BiO nanosheets on TiO NRs substrates were controlled by varying the concentration of the complexing agent triethanolamine (TEA) in the precursor solution, which regulated the morphology, crystalline quality and energy band structure as well as the photoelectronic properties of BiO films.

Here, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used to form an organic network in the CsBiBr precursor solution to influence the nucleation growth rate of the substrate and, thus, control the perovskite surface morphology, crystallization process, and halide ion migration activation energy. Furthermore, the organic network consisting of non-conducting polymer PEG rests on the boundaries between perovskite crystals to cross-link perovskite particles.

Recently, dapagliflozin (DAPA), a sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has been found to exhibit cardioprotective effects in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In this study, we examined the effects of DAPA on VA vulnerability in a rat model of PAH-induced RHF.
