Early life exposure to structural sexism and late-life memory trajectories among black and white women and men in the United States.

Introduction: We investigated whether early life exposure to state-level structural sexism influenced late-life memory trajectories among United Staes (U.S.) -born women and men and determined whether associations differed between racialized groups.

Ecology and life history predict avian nest success in the global tropics.

Nest predation rates critically influence avian biodiversity and evolution. In the north temperate zone, increased nest failure along edges of forest fragments is hypothesized to play a major role in the disappearance of bird species from disturbed landscapes. However, we lack comprehensive syntheses from tropical latitudes, where biodiversity is highest and increasingly threatened by habitat fragmentation and disturbance.

The change process questionnaire (CPQ): A psychometric validation.

Tracking therapeutic processes and outcomes session to session, known as feedback-informed treatment (FIT), has shown many significant benefits for systemic family therapists. However, more clinically useful FIT measures are needed in our field. In response, we conceptualize core dimensions of the therapeutic change process and propose a measure-the Change Process Questionnaire (CPQ)-based on some of those dimensions to provide a clinically useful FIT measure.

Biobased Polymers Enabling the Synthesis of Ultralong Silver Nanowires and Other Nanostructures.

Conventional polyol synthesis of silver nanowires has exclusively relied on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a nonbiodegradable polymer with no viable alternatives. The underlying reaction mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we discovered a new sustainable solution by employing biobased cellulose derivatives, including hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), as effective substitutes for PVP.
