Precious metal catalysts are widely used for catalytic oxidation of various gaseous pollutants (CO, methane, and VOCs) due to their excellent catalytic activity. However, they are easily affected by SO and deactivated in actual industrial waste gas or motor vehicle exhaust. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes the representative studies of gaseous pollutant catalytic oxidation over precious metal catalysts with SO exposure.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between EEG measures and functional recovery in right-hemisphere stroke patients.
Methods: Participants with stroke (PS) and neurologically unimpaired controls (UC) were enrolled. At enrolment, all participants were assessed for motor and cognitive functioning with specific scales (motricity index, trunk control test, Level of Cognitive Functioning, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM).

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have an injury to the central nervous system around the time of birth that affects the development of the brain and spinal cord. This injury leads to changes in gait neuromechanics, including muscle activity and joint kinematics. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a novel neuromodulation technique that may improve movement and coordination in children with CP when paired with targeted physical therapy.

Objective: As brain-computer interface (BCI) research advances, many new applications are being developed. Tasks can be performed in different virtual environments, and whether a BCI user can switch environments seamlessly will influence the ultimate utility of a clinical device. Approach: Here we investigate the importance of the immersiveness of the virtual environment used to train BCI decoders on the resulting decoder and its generalizability between environments.
