Task-general or specific: The alertness modulates post-error adjustment.

Previous studies have shown that alertness is closely related to executive control function, but its impact on components of post-error adjustment is unknown. This study applied the Attentional Networks Test and the Four-choice Flanker task with three response stimulus intervals (RSIs) to explore the correlation between alertness and post-error adjustment. The linear mixed-effects model of alertness and RSI on the post-error processing indicators showed a significant negative correlation between the alertness and post-error slowing (PES) under 200 ms RSI , as well as between alertness and post-error improvement in accuracy (PIA) under both 700 ms RSI and 1200 ms RSI.

Integrated analysis of transcriptome and small RNAome reveals regulatory network of rapid and long-term response to heat stress in Rhododendron moulmainense.

The post-transcriptional gene regulatory pathway and small RNA pathway play important roles in regulating the rapid and long-term response of Rhododendron moulmainense to high-temperature stress. The Rhododendron plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance. However, it is difficult to domesticate for use in urban ecosystems due to their strict optimum growth temperature condition, and its evolution and adaptation are little known.

The Proton of Alcohols as Hydrogen Source in Diboron-Mediated Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Cyclic -Sulfonyl Imines.

The proton of alcohols as the sole hydrogen source in diboron-mediated nickel-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cyclic -sulfonyl imines has been developed, providing the chiral cyclic sulfamidates in excellent enantioselectivities. The mechanistic investigations suggested that the proton of alcohols could be activated by tetrahydroxydiboron to form active nickel hydride species.

Balanophora genomes display massively convergent evolution with other extreme holoparasites and provide novel insights into parasite-host interactions.

Parasitic plants have evolved to be subtly or severely dependent on host plants to complete their life cycle. To provide new insights into the biology of parasitic plants in general, we assembled genomes for members of the sandalwood order Santalales, including a stem hemiparasite (Scurrula) and two highly modified root holoparasites (Balanophora) that possess chimaeric host-parasite tubers. Comprehensive genome comparisons reveal that hemiparasitic Scurrula has experienced a relatively minor degree of gene loss compared with autotrophic plants, consistent with its moderate degree of parasitism.

Electrolyte-Impregnated Mesoporous Hollow Microreactor to Supplement an Inner Reaction Pathway for Boosting the Cyclability of Li-CO Batteries.

Li-CO batteries that integrate energy storage with greenhouse gas fixation have received a great deal of attention in the pursuit of carbon neutrality. However, cyclic accumulation of the insulative and insoluble LiCO on the cathode surface severely restrains the battery cyclability, especially under a high depth of discharge/charge. Herein, we design and fabricate a microreactor-type catalyst by embedding Ru nanoparticles into the shells of mesoporous hollow carbon spheres.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic alkylation: construction of multiple chiral thiochromanone derivatives.

The development of a new strategy for the construction of chiral cyclic sulfide-containing multiple stereogenic centers is highly desirable. Herein, by the combination of base-promoted retro-sulfa-Michael addition and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic alkylation, the streamlined synthesis of chiral thiochromanones containing two central chiralities (including a quaternary stereogenic center) and an axial chirality (allene unit) was successfully realized with up to 98% yield, 49.0 : 1 dr and >99% ee.

To mimic the Escherichia coli T7 protein expression system, we developed a facile T7 promoter-based protein expression system in an industrial microorganism Bacillus subtilis. This system has two parts: a new B. subtilis strain SCK22 and a plasmid pHT7.

Homogenizing LiCO Nucleation and Growth through High-Density Single-Atomic Ru Loading toward Reversible Li-CO Reaction.

The high activation barrier and sluggish kinetics of LiCO decomposition impose a severe challenge on the development of a Li-CO battery with high Coulombic efficiency. To tackle this issue, herein we devise a novel synthetic tactic by combining electrostatic assembly with polycondensation to obtain a single-atomic Ru catalyst of high density up to ∼5 wt %. When deployed to the CO cathode, the catalyst delivered an extraordinary capacity of 44.

Synthesis of Chiral Poly(silyl ether)s via CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrosilylation Polymerization of Diketones with Silanes.

The precise synthesis of chiral poly(silyl ether)s remains a challenge, in contrast to the well-studied preparation of poly(silyl ether)s. Herein, an unprecedented approach for the synthesis of optically active poly(silyl ether)s with main-chain chirality has been developed via CuH-catalyzed hydrosilylation polymerization of diketones and silanes. The polymerization features low catalyst loading, mild condition, and broad substrate scope, including a wide range of aromatic diketones and heteroaromatic diketones with excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield and 99% ee).

Genome-wide analysis reveals four key transcription factors associated with cadmium stress in creeping bentgrass ( L.).

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity seriously affects the growth and development of plants, so studies on uptake, translocation, and accumulation of Cd in plants are crucial for phytoremediation. However, the molecular mechanism of the plant response to Cd stress remains poorly understood. The main objective of this study was to reveal differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under lower (BT2_5) and higher (BT43) Cd concentration treatments in creeping bentgrass.

The increasing burden and complexity of multimorbidity.

Background: Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is common among older adults and is known to be associated with high costs and gaps in quality of care. Population-based estimates of multimorbidity are not readily available, which makes future planning a challenge. We aimed to estimate the population-based prevalence and trends of multimorbidity in Ontario, Canada and to examine patterns in the co-occurrence of chronic conditions.

Reconstruction of Colloidal Spheres by Targeted Etching: A Generalized Self-Template Route to Porous Amphoteric Metal Oxide Hollow Spheres.

Despite the significant progress in developing various synthetic strategies for metal oxide hollow spheres (h-MO), the so-far explored materials are mostly chemically inert metal oxides. Very few attempts have been made for amphoteric metal oxides such as Al2O3 and ZnO due to the difficulties in the control of the dissolution and recrystallization process. Herein, a facile self-template route to the synthesis of amphoteric h-MO with tunable size and shell thickness is developed by targeted etching via an acid-base reaction.
