Published: November 2013

In this work, the structural and magnetic properties of Er1-xZrxFe2 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. These compounds crystallize in the cubic MgCu2 (C15) structure, the lattice parameters decreasing with Zr content. Electronic structure calculations were performed, showing a good agreement between theory and experiment. All of the samples are ferrimagnetically ordered, presenting compensation points in the M(T) plots. The compensation point values decrease, while the Curie temperatures increase with Zr content. The experimental Fe moments at 5 K decrease with Zr content from 1.70 μB/atom for x = 0.1 to 1.55 μB/atom for x = 0.4. A non-collinear orientation of the magnetic moments was evidenced in these compounds. The magnetocaloric effect was also studied. A modest magnetocaloric effect was found for all of the samples, spreading across a wide temperature range. A maximum |ΔSM| value of 1.19 J kg(-1) K(-1) was found for the sample with x = 0.1 for an applied field change of 0-4 T. Large RCP(ΔS) values were obtained for all of the samples, mainly due to the wide δTFWHM values of the ΔSM(T) curves.

Disentangling the neural underpinnings of response inhibition in disruptive behavior and co-occurring ADHD.

Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.

While impaired response inhibition has been reported in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), findings in disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have been inconsistent, probably due to unaccounted effects of co-occurring ADHD in DBD. This study investigated the associations of behavioral and neural correlates of response inhibition with DBD and ADHD symptom severity, covarying for each other in a dimensional approach. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were available for 35 children and adolescents with DBDs (8-18 years old, 19 males), and 31 age-matched unaffected controls (18 males) while performing a performance-adjusted stop-signal task.

Introduction: Pseudotumors are benign lesions which may mimic like a malignant tumor on conventional imaging. They are formed in kidneys which are scarred and deformed by chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, trauma or infarction. There is a diagnostic dilemma in most of the cases as to differentiate RCC and pseudotumors.

Background: Although childhood maltreatment (CM) is widely recognized as a transdiagnostic risk factor for various internalizing and externalizing psychological disorders, the neural basis underlying this association remain unclear. The potential reasons for the inconsistent findings may be attributed to the involvement of both common and specific neural pathways that mediate the influence of childhood maltreatment on the emergence of psychopathological conditions.

Methods: This study aimed to delineate both the common and distinct neural pathways linking childhood maltreatment to depression and aggression.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown success in predicting neural signals associated with narrative processing, but their approach to integrating context over large timescales differs fundamentally from that of the human brain. In this study, we show how the brain, unlike LLMs that process large text windows in parallel, integrates short-term and long-term contextual information through an incremental mechanism. Using fMRI data from 219 participants listening to spoken narratives, we first demonstrate that LLMs predict brain activity effectively only when using short contextual windows of up to a few dozen words.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge associated with lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol, BMI, smoking, sleep, and physical activity. Metabolomics, especially nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), offers insights into metabolic profiles' role in diseases, but more research is needed on its connection to CKD and lifestyle factors. Therefore, we utilized the latest metabolomics data from the UK Biobank to explore the relationship between plasma metabolites and lifestyle factors, as well as to investigate the associations between various factors, including lifestyle-related metabolites, and the latent phase of CKD onset.
