This investigation assessed the usefulness of a limited capacity information processing model for evaluation of stress. The assumption is that the task of anticipating an impending aversive event requires a portion of the limited capacity. Thus, such stress can be measured by a performance decrement in a concurrent task. Stress was manipulated in 14 male and female college students by means of a conditioned emotional response (CER) technique. Two tasks, motor tracking and counting backwards, were systematically studied as both primary and secondary tasks, depending on the presence or absence of reinforcement. The cognitive task of counting backwards was more sensitive to the processing demands imposed by stress than the motor task of tracking.

For lithium-ion batteries, silicon monoxide is a potential anode material, but its application is limited by its relatively large irreversible capacity loss, which leads to its low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE). In this study, we conduct a two-step reaction for the formation of silicon oxide-based materials, including a magnesiothermic reduction of SiO with Mg, followed by the solid-state lithiation of silicon oxide with LiCO. Our results demonstrate that Mg can reduce SiO to Si and form MgSiO, while LiCO reacts with SiO to form LiSiO.

In recent years, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have shown considerable promise in the energy storage sector, attributed to their inherent high safety and cost-effectiveness. ZnVO(OH)·2HO (ZVO) has emerged as a promising candidate for Zn storage in recent years, owing to its exceptional structural stability that endows it with an excellent cycle life. However, an unsatisfactory rate performance is a limiting factor for its development in ZIBs.

Objective: To assess the pathological mechanisms contributing to white matter (WM) lesion expansion or contraction and remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: We assessed 1,613 lesions in 49 people with relapsing-remitting MS in the CCMR-One bexarotene trial (EudraCT 2014-003145-99). We measured lesion orientation relative to WM tracts, surface-in gradients and veins.

Aim: Autotransplantation of teeth (ATT) is a viable biological method for addressing dental defects. The objective was to achieve occlusal reconstruction-orientated ATT to enhance functionality and obtain optimal location and adjacency. This study proposes a new concept of a guide (a fully guided system) to achieve position-predictable ATT.

High salinity in wastewater often hampers the performance of traditional adsorbents by disrupting electrostatic interactions and ion exchange processes, limiting their efficiency. This study addresses these challenges by investigating the salt-promoted adsorption of Cu ions onto amino-functionalized chloromethylated polystyrene (EDA@CMPS) millispheres. The adsorbent was synthesized by grafting ethylenediamine (EDA) onto CMPS, which significantly improved Cu adsorption, achieving nearly three times the capacity in saline solutions (1.
