Sex moderates diet quality differences in integrated collaborative care for comorbid obesity and depression: Post-hoc analysis of the RAINBOW RCT.

Objectives: To investigate (1) whether an evidence-based behavioral weight loss intervention was associated with improved diet quality in adults with obesity and depression compared with usual care; and (2) whether the associations were modified by sex.

Design: In the RAINBOW RCT, 409 participants were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive a 12-month intervention integrating a Diabetes Prevention Program-based behavioral weight loss treatment with problem-solving therapy for depression (n = 204) or usual care (n = 205). Participants completed 24-h dietary recalls at baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Effect of Silicon on Dynamic/Static Corrosion Resistance of T91 in Lead-Bismuth Eutectic at 550 °C.

The 9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic heat-resistant steel is the main candidate structural material for the Lead-cooled Faster Reactor. The lower Gibbs free energy change of Si oxide can promote the formation of a stable oxide layer, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the material. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the effect of silicon (Si) on the corrosion resistance of T91 steel in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE).

[Mechanism of "unification of drugs and excipients" for Chinese medicine semi-extract based on powder compression behavior analysis].

In this paper, five representative Chinese herbal decoction pieces of Scutellariae Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, vinegar-processed Corydalis Rhizoma, Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata and Lonicerae Japonicae Flos were selected to prepare the corresponding fine powder of pieces, extract powder, semi-extract powder and physical mixed powder. The physical properties of 20 kinds of powders, such as related parameters of particle size, density, stability and flowability, were evaluated comprehensively. The compression curves of powder porosity and tensile strength changing with pressure were plotted, and the Heckel equation and the Kawakita equation were used to describe the powder compression behavior.

[Research on clouds affecting the spectra of solar ultraviolet radiation].

In the present paper, using UV CCD optical multi-channel analyzer, the solar ultraviolet radiation spectra under the conditions of cloud cover were measured, and the impact of clouds on the solar ultraviolet radiation spectra were studied mostly. The results of spectral analysis showed that the intensity of solar ultraviolet radiation spectra was weakened by the clouds. The solar ultraviolet radiation spectral intensity attenuation depended on the wavelength and decreased with decreasing wavelength.

Molecular structure, IR spectra of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole by density functional theory and ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations.

Quantum chemistry calculations have been performed using Gaussian03 program to compute optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequency along with intensities in IR and Raman spectra and atomic charges at RHF/6-31+G*, B3LYP/6-31+G* and B3LYP/6-31++G* levels for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT, C(7)H(5)NS(2)) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (MBO, C(7)H(5)NOS) in the ground state. The scaled harmonic vibrational frequencies have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The results show that the scaled theoretical vibrational frequencies is very good agreement with the experimental values.

The heats of formation in a series of nitroester energetic compounds: a theoretical study.

Quantum chemical calculations are used to compute the heats of formation (HOFs) for 24 nitroester (NE) energetic compounds in which only 5 nitroester energetic compounds have the available experimental heats of formation. The heats of formation of the five compounds are calculated from isodesmic reactions by employing the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP, B3PW91, and B3P86) methods with 6-31G** and 6-311G** basis sets. It is demonstrated that B3PW91/6-31G** method can yield reliable HOFs, which has the mean absolute deviation of 1.
