The interaction of oxygen with a reactive metal is ubiquitous, yet the precise atomic-level mechanisms and pathways leading to the formation of a surface oxide are not well-understood. We report oxygen atom distributions inside Rh single nanoparticles using atom probe microscopy (APM) and demonstrate that mainly facets of the ⟨022̅⟩ crystallographic directions act as oxygen-permeable gateways. The highly anisotropic spatial distribution of incorporated oxygen atoms is in agreement with video-field emission analyses according to which {113} facets of the ⟨022̅⟩ zones act as portals for subsurface diffusion. In addition to providing a more fundamental understanding of the precursor states to metal corrosion, in particular for the case of nanosized metal particles, our studies are also relevant for heterogeneous catalysis where catalytic activity and selectivity conform to reaction-induced structural changes of metal nanoparticles.

Navigating the neuroinflammatory network: insights from diverse cell models.
In Vitro Model
February 2024
IFIBYNE-UBA-CONICET, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In this Highlights article, we present insights into the use of simple cell lines in neuroinflammation research, highlighting key findings from our recent investigations. Simple cell lines, including HEK, PC12, SHSY5Y, and N2a cells, provide valuable insights into critical signaling pathways and hidden facets of the neuroinflammatory landscape. Focusing on specific outcomes, including the impact of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC1a), the study sheds light on neuroinflammatory processes.

Spondyloarthritis is a prevalent and persistent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life. Its intricate pathological mechanisms have led to a scarcity of animal models capable of replicating the disease progression in humans, making it a prominent area of research interest in the field. To delve into the pathological and physiological traits of spontaneous non-human primate spondyloarthritis, this study meticulously examined the disease features of this natural disease model through an array of techniques including X-ray imaging, MRI imaging, blood biochemistry, markers of bone metabolism, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

The imperative of addressing climate change has accentuated the pivotal role of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and harnessing the potential of community forests. This study meticulously explores the governance structures and mechanisms underpinning greenhouse gas emissions trading within community forests, aimed at curbing carbon emissions, and enhancing adaptive capacities in Thailand. With a central focus on cultivating enduring climate resilience, this research delves into the interplay of community perspectives with greenhouse gas emissions trading mechanisms, while also dissecting the genesis of sustainable strategies in the Thai context.

Psychol Rep

Neuroticism predicts behaviors symptomatic of behavior dysregulation. One idea is that Neuroticism encompasses deficits in executive functioning; despite this link being empirically substantiated, it remains poorly understood. If Neuroticism is associated with executive functioning deficits due to it activating impulsivity in response to negative emotion, and if Negative Urgency (NU) is the specific aspect of emotional impulsivity that amplifies impulsivity in response to negative emotion, then Neuroticism's link to executive functioning deficits should be enhanced in individuals higher in NU.

However, due to the disparity of information density between point clouds and images, conventional matching methods based on points often lose significant information. To address this issue, we propose a regional matching method to bridge the differences in information density between point clouds and images.
