Published: April 2010

We present a review of the different models that have been proposed to explain reversals of the magnetic field generated by a turbulent flow of an electrically conducting fluid (fluid dynamos). We then describe a simple mechanism that explains several features observed in palaeomagnetic records of the Earth's magnetic field, in numerical simulations and in a recent dynamo experiment. A similar model can also be used to understand reversals of large-scale flows that often develop on a turbulent background.

Unveiling the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction mechanism in heteroatom-decorated-MoCS-MXene: the synergistic effect of single-atom Fe and heteroatom.

Conversion of nitrogen (N) to ammonia (NH) is a significant process that occurs in environment and in the field of chemistry, but the traditional NH synthesis method requires high energy and pollutes the environment. In this work, the charge, orbital and spin order of the single-atom Fe loaded on heteroatom (X) doped-MoCS (X = B, N, O, F, P and Se) and its synergistic effect on electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) were investigated using well-defined density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results revealed that the X-element modified the charge loss capability of Fe atoms and thereby introduced a net spin through heteroatom doping, resulting in the magnetic moment modulation of Fe.

Objective: The invasiveness of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor is an important basis for formulating individualized treatment plans and improving the prognosis of patients. Radiomics can predict invasiveness preoperatively. To investigate the value of multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomics in predicting pituitary neuroendocrine tumor invasion into the cavernous sinus (CS) before surgery.

The study of transient and variable events, including novae, active galactic nuclei, and black hole binaries, has historically been a fruitful path for elucidating the evolutionary mechanisms of our universe. The study of such events in the millimeter and submillimeter is, however, still in its infancy. Submillimeter observations probe a variety of materials, such as optically thick dust, which are hard to study in other wavelengths.

Electronic address:

Unlabelled: Rubus chingii Hu fruit (RHF) is a medicinal and edible resource with excellent biological activities. Currently, the existing identification markers can't meet the needs of RHF quality control. This study collected RHF from cultivation fields of three origins [Qiandaohu (QDH), Lishui (LS), and Fuyang (YF)] at green, green to yellow, yellow to orange, and mature stages (G, G to Y, Y to O, M).
