Ultrasmall Ru nanoparticles-decorated nickel/nickel oxide three phase heterojunctions to boost alkaline hydrogen evolution.

The rational design and optimization of heterogeneous interface for low loading noble metal HER eletrocatalysts to facilitate the upscaling of alkaline water/seawater electrolysis is highly challenging. Herein, we present a facile deep corrosion strategy induced by NaBH to precisely construct an ultrasmall Ru nanoparticle-decorated Ni/NiO hybrid (r-Ru-Ni/NiO) with highly dispersed triple-phase heterostructures. Remarkably, it exhibits superior activity with only 53 mV and 70 mV at 100 mA cm for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline water and seawater, respectively, surpassing the performance of Pt/C (109.

Noninvasive carbon dioxide monitoring in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery: transcutaneous vs. end-tidal techniques.

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PtcCO) and arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO) and the accuracy of PtcCO in predicting PaCO during laparoscopic surgery in pediatric patients.

Methods: Children aged 2-8 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I or II who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were selected. After anesthesia induction and tracheal intubation, PtcCO was monitored, and radial arterial catheterization was performed for continuous pressure measurement.

Age at first birth and risk of urinary incontinence after delivery: a dose-response meta-analysis.

Studies investigating the impact of age at first birth on urinary incontinence after delivery have reached inconsistent conclusions. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the risk of urinary incontinence after delivery, regardless of the type, with age at first birth. MEDLINE via PubMed and Web of science databases were searched up to March 13, 2021.

The top 5 causes of death in China from 2000 to 2017.

Limited information is available on the epidemiological characteristics of major causes of death in the last 18 years. In this study, we investigated the epidemiological characteristics of the top 5 causes of death in China from 2000 to 2017. Data were obtained from the 18-year reports of Ministry of Health and analyzed by Grid Search Method, Permutation test, and log-linear regression model.

De novo Transcriptome Assembly of Common Wild Rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and Discovery of Drought-Response Genes in Root Tissue Based on Transcriptomic Data.

Background: The perennial O. rufipogon (common wild rice), which is considered to be the ancestor of Asian cultivated rice species, contains many useful genetic resources, including drought resistance genes. However, few studies have identified the drought resistance and tissue-specific genes in common wild rice.

De novo assembly of transcriptome sequencing in Caragana korshinskii Kom. and characterization of EST-SSR markers.

Caragana korshinskii Kom. is widely distributed in various habitats, including gravel desert, clay desert, fixed and semi-fixed sand, and saline land in the Asian and African deserts. To date, no previous genomic information or EST-SSR marker has been reported in Caragana Fabr.

De novo assembly of the desert tree Haloxylon ammodendron (C. A. Mey.) based on RNA-Seq data provides insight into drought response, gene discovery and marker identification.

Background: Haloxylon ammodendron (C. A. Mey.
