We have demonstrated a simple and scalable fabrication process for defect-rich MoS directly from ammonium tetrathiomolybdate precursor using intense pulse light treatment in milliseconds durations. The formation of MoS from the precursor film after intense pulsed light exposure was confirmed with XPS, XRD, electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The resulting material exhibited high activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media, requiring merely 200 mV overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA cm. Additionally, the catalyst remained highly active for HER over extended durability testing with the overpotential increasing by 28 mV following 1000 cycles. The roll-to-roll amenable fabrication of this highly-active material could be adapted for mass production of electrodes comprised of earth-abundant materials for water splitting applications.

Objectives: To investigate whether a single session of aerobic exercise improves inhibitory control in preadolescent children and whether this effect is mediated by changes in parasympathetic activity.
Design: In this experimental study, an intervention and control group were pair-matched by age, sex and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
Method: 114 participants either completed a 20-min moderately-intense exercise bout on a cycling ergometer or watched a 20-min video.
H*10 neutron dosimetry (unlike gamma dosimetry), requires consideration of neutron energy spectra due to the 20× variation of the weight factor over the thermal-to-fast energy range, as well as the neutron radiation field dose rates ranging from cosmic, ~.01 μSv h-1 levels to commonly encountered ~10-200 μSv h-1 in nuclear laboratories/processing plants, and upwards of 104 Sv h-1 in nuclear reactor environments. This paper discusses the outcome of the comparison of spectrum-weighted neutron dosimetry covering thermal-to-fast energy using the novel H*-TMFD spectroscopy-enabled sensor system in comparison with measurements using state-of-the-art neutron dosimetry systems at SRNS-Rotating Spectrometer (ROSPEC), and non-spectroscopic Eberline ASP2E ("Eberline") and Ludlum 42-49B ("Ludlum") survey instrumentation.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) achieves its therapeutic purpose mainly through the biological effects produced by the interaction of shock waves with tissues, and the accurate measurement and calculation of the mechanical parameters of shock waves in tissues are of great significance in formulating the therapeutic strategy and evaluating the therapeutic effect. This study utilizes the approach of implanting flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) vibration sensors inside the tissue-mimicking phantom of various thicknesses to capture waveforms at different depths during the impact process in real time. Parameters including positive and negative pressure changes (P, P), pulse wave rise time ([Formula: see text]), and energy flux density (EFD) are calculated, and frequency spectrum analysis of the waveforms is conducted.

Introduction: Tumor tissues exhibit significantly lower oxygen partial pressure compared to normal tissues, leading to hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment and result in resistance to tumor treatments. Strategies to mitigate hypoxia include enhancing blood perfusion and oxygen supply, for example,by decomposing hydrogen peroxide within the tumor. Improving hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment could potentially improve the efficacy of cancer treatments.
