In recent years, with the continuous evolution of the global economy and the adjustment of industrial structures, the understanding of the role played by human capital in the process of economic development has become particularly important. However, existing research on the impact of human capital on economic growth often adopts traditional regression methods, failing to comprehensively consider the heterogeneity and nonlinear relationships in the data. Therefore, to more accurately understand the influence of human capital on economic growth at different stages, this study employs Bayesian quantile regression method (BQRM).

Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP) is an abundant metabolite synthesized from inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (IP) by the single IP 2-kinase (IP5K). Genetic and biochemical studies have shown that IP usually functions as a structural cofactor in protein(s) mediating mRNA export, DNA repair, necroptosis, 3D genome organization, HIV infection, and cullin-RING ligase (CRL) deneddylation. However, it remains unknown whether pharmacological perturbation of cellular IP levels affects any of these processes.

With the approaching commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, developing active, non-precious metal oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst materials to replace currently used Pt-based catalysts is a necessary and essential requirement in order to reduce the overall system cost. Here, we report a single-atom doped molybdenum disulfide sheet (short as X-MoS2) catalyst for the ORR using a dispersion-corrected density functional theory method. Of all the eleven X-MoS2 (X = B, C, N, O; Al, Si, P; Ga, Ge, As, and Se) systems, only the phosphorus atom doped molybdenum disulfide (P-MoS2) has an O2 adsorption energy close to that of a Pt(111) surface.

A platinum (Pt) monolayer catalyst could greatly reduce the use of Pt. However, the core or subsurface transition metal could easily segregate to the surface and eventually selectively dissolve in the working conditions. In this work, a type of Pt/M/tungsten carbide (WC) multilayer structure catalyst has been designed using the density functional theory method.
