An oleic acid-coated Fe3O4 nanocrystal self-assembled film was fabricated via drop casting of colloidal particles on a SiO2/Si substrate. The film exhibited bifurcation of the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetizations around 250 K. The nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics between the source and drain electrodes in both zero and non-zero magnetic fields (H) were observed above and below the bifurcation temperature. A large negative magnetoresistance (MR ≈ -60%) was achieved at 200 K and H = 1 T. Even at 295 K and 0.2 T, the negative MR (∼ -50%) persisted. A Fowler-Nordheim plot and power-law scaling of the I-V characteristics revealed that the current flows through two-dimensional (2D) percolated electron tunneling paths. The enlargement of MR can be attributed to spin-dependent electron tunneling between magnetically coupled Fe3O4 nanocrystals self-assembled in 2D ordered arrays.

Background: Creativity motivated by negative intentions can be referred to as malevolent creativity. While existing findings have largely focused on environmental or individual factors influencing malevolent creativity, less attention has been directed towards understanding how the sense of place-derived from individual-environment interaction-affects malevolent creativity. Additionally, the role of coping styles as mediating mechanisms in negative environments has been insufficiently explored.

Background: Approximately 70% of child deaths due to diarrhea are caused by a lack of timely healthcare. However, there was little evidence of factors associated with delays in seeking health care for patients with diarrheal diseases in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate delays in seeking healthcare for children with diarrhea and identify associated factors among caregivers in health centers of Northwest Ethiopia.

This study was designed to assess the effect of brentuximab vedotin on several breast cancer cell lines in terms of promoting apoptosis and managing cancer progression. Additionally, the study investigated the potential of repurposing this drug for new therapeutic reasons, beyond its original indications. The study evaluates the cytotoxic effects of Brentuximab vedotin across five cell lines: normal human skin fibroblasts (HSF), three breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and T-47D), and histiocytic lymphoma (U-937).

Rabies transmitted from vampires to cattle: An overview.

Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, United States of America.

Rabies is a zoonotic infectious disease of global distribution that impacts human and animal health. In rural Latin America, rabies negatively impacts food security and the economy due to losses in livestock production. The common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, is the main reservoir and transmitter of rabies virus (RABV) to domestic animals in Latin America.
