Episodic future thinking is the ability to project the self forward in time to preexperience a potential future event. It has been hypothesized that two components enhance simulations of future events: personal likelihood and event familiarity. Personal likelihood varies depending on the dynamics of personal goals throughout an individual's lifetime.

The effects of termination functional groups of the TiCT MXene membrane on the structural and dynamics properties of nearby water molecules and foulants are investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation results show that a much denser water layer can be formed at the vicinity of hydroxyl (OH) termination than that near fluorine (F) or oxygen (O) termination. Particular focus is given to the molecular binding properties of β-d-mannuronic acid (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G) alginate monomers on the MXene membrane surface with different termination groups.

Study on a Strategy to Improve the Image Quality and Imaging Depth for Novel Synthetic Aperture Schemes: An Experimental Investigation.

Ultrason Imaging

Biomedical Ultrasound Imaging Laboratory, Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Chennai, India.

Imaging depth remains a restriction for Synthetic Aperture (SA) approaches, even though SA techniques have been shown to overcome some of the drawbacks of Conventional Focused Beamforming (CFB) technique. This limitation is attributed to lesser energy per transmit in SA techniques compared to that of CFB technique. Therefore, in this paper, a systematic investigation is done to evaluate the improvement in imaging depth and image quality of B-mode ultrasound images in the case of SA technique using PZT transducer by boosting the input voltage to the transducer, while measuring the acoustic exposure parameters recommended in international standards.

Does light or heat play a seminal role in photo-rechargeable batteries? This study unravels the effects of light in the exciton formation and separation processes in a photocathode, leading to the charging or de-intercalation of Li ions in a lithium-ion battery. Light induced oxidation of Ti to Ti in the Li(TiS-TiO) heterostructure cathode is shown here, while heating does not elicit such changes. With the aid of photogenerated electrons at the cathode, the de-lithiated Li ions from Li(TiS-TiO) get intercalated in the graphite anode during the photocharging process.

In this study, we demonstrate a unique and promising approach to access peptide-based diverse nanostructures in a single gelator regime that is capable of exhibiting different surface topographies and variable physical properties, which, in turn, can effectively mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) and regulate variable cellular responses. These diverse nanostructures represent different energy states in the free energy landscape, which have been created through different self-assembling pathways by providing variable energy inputs by simply altering the gelation induction temperature from 40 °C to 90 °C. The highly entangled network structure with long fibers was created by higher energy inputs, , inducing the gelation at a higher temperature in the 70-90 °C range, whereas the less entangled nanoscale network with short fibers was obtained at a lower gelation induction temperature of 40-60 °C.
