AI Article Synopsis

  • The blue cobalt-based metal-organic framework (MOF) known as BP can change to a red form (RP) in response to H2O or NH3 stimuli.
  • The transformation involves the removal and recovery of terephthalate ligands, creating a gate effect for trapping and releasing small solvent molecules.
  • This study marks the first instance of a topological change from a self-penetrating to an interpenetrating network in three-dimensional MOFs.

Article Abstract

With H2 O or NH3 stimuli, the blue cobalt-based metal-organic framework (MOF) BP can reversibly transform to red RP. The removal/recovery of terephthalate ligands accompanied by the transformation leads to a gate effect, which allows the encapsulation and release of small solvent molecules under certain conditions. This is the first example of topology transformation from a self-penetrating to interpenetrating net in 3D MOFs.

A previous study employing fMRI measures of retrieval-related cortical reinstatement reported that young, but not older, adults employ 'retrieval gating' to attenuate aspects of an episodic memory that are irrelevant to the retrieval goal. We examined whether the weak memories of the older adults in that study rendered goal-irrelevant memories insufficiently intrusive to motivate retrieval gating. Young and older participants studied words superimposed on rural or urban scenes, or on pixelated backgrounds.

Background: Ochratoxin A (OTA) is toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi and can pose a serious threat to food safety and human health. Due to the high stability and toxicity, OTA contamination in agricultural products is of great concern. Therefore, the development of a highly sensitive and reliable OTA detection method is crucial to ensure food safety.

: Despite the availability of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that can manage seizures, they often come with cognitive side effects. Furthermore, the role of oxidative stress and neuroinflammatory responses in epilepsy and the limitations of current AEDs necessitate exploring alternative therapeutic options. Medicinal plants, e.

To date, there have been no studies on the dynamics of areas of pain, paraesthesia and hypoesthesia after the use of various transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in the treatment of meralgia paresthetica. In this pilot study, we observed 68 patients with obesity-related bilateral meralgia paresthetica. Pain syndrome, paraesthesia symptoms, and hypoesthesia were evaluated using 10-point scores.

Gate dielectrics are essential components in nanoscale field-effect transistors (FETs), but they often face significant instabilities when exposed to harsh environments, such as radioactive conditions, leading to unreliable device performance. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of ultrascaled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) FETs equipped with vacuum gate dielectric (VGD) as a means to circumvent oxide-related instabilities. The nanodevice is computationally assessed using a quantum simulation approach based on the self-consistent solutions of the Poisson equation and the quantum transport equation under the ballistic transport regime.
