Nanoarrays of distinct DNA and protein biomolecules were fabricated by electrochemically controlling their assembly/release from Au nanoelectrodes on a chip. The surface density, ratio, and activity of the biomolecules assembled on each nanoelectrode in the array can be configured quantitatively and temporally by adjusting the electrochemical potential applied on the nanoelectrode. The dynamically configurable biomolecular nanoarray can potentially activate combinatorial interactions with microbiosystems under the control of an electronic circuit for biological and medical applications.

Insights into Landscape Structure Change in Urbanising Rainforest and Guinea Savanna Ecological Regions of Nigeria.

In the face of unabated urban expansion, understanding the intrinsic characteristics of landscape structure is pertinent to preserving ecological diversity and managing the supply of ecosystem services. This study integrates machine-learning-based geospatial and landscape ecological techniques to assess the dynamics of landscape structure in cities of the rainforest (Akure and Owerri) and Guinea savanna (Makurdi and Minna) ecological regions of Nigeria between 1986 and 2022. Supervised classification using the random forest (RF) machine-learning classifier was performed on Landsat images on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, and landscape metrics were calculated with FRAGSTATS to assess landscape composition, configuration, and connectivity.

Objective: This study explores the influence of social network structures on self-management behaviors among older adults with diabetes in rural Korean villages, focusing on dietary management, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring.
Design: Employing social network analysis (SNA), the study assessed network structures in three villages, focusing on variations in degree, closeness, and betweenness centralities to understand their impact on health behavior dissemination and adoption.
Results: The analysis identified significant differences in network configurations across the villages.
Collective motion and its connection to the energy landscape in 2D soft crystals.

We examine the collective motion in computational models of a two-dimensional dusty plasma crystal and a charged colloidal suspension as they approach their respective melting transitions. To unambiguously identify rearrangement events in the crystal, we map the trajectory of configurations from an equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation to the corresponding sequence of configurations of local potential energy minima ("inherent structures"). This inherent structure (IS) trajectory eliminates the ambiguity that arises from localized vibrational motion.

Conventional energy-absorbing components have limitations in terms of performance and functionality, including significant variability in reaction forces, inherent instability, and inadequate energy absorption capabilities. This paper presents a threaded shear-type energy-absorbing component designed for anti-impact hydraulic support columns, specifically for ZQL advancing support roadway hydraulic supports. The component operates based on the principle of threaded shear energy absorption.

From molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of melt-quenching and thermal aging procedures in pure Ag, Cu, Ag-Cu binary alloys, and Cu-Zr binary alloys, we have identified two distinct amorphous phases for a metastable undercooled liquid: the homogeneous L-phase with low shear rigidity and the heterogenous G-phase with much higher shear rigidity and a heterogeneity length scale Λ. Here, we examine two-phase equilibration studies showing that the G-phase melts to form the L-phase above ~1,000 K, which then transforms to form the crystal (X) phase; however, below the melting point of the G-Phase (~990 K), the X- and G-phases do not transform into each other. We suggest the presence of a G-phase is likely responsible for embrittlement often observed in metallic glasses.
