In this work, a series of Au aerogels with different percentages of {110} facets (from ∼12 to 36%) were controllably prepared and then used to investigate their performance (specific activity and long-term stability) toward ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), in which PNR represents the particle number ratio of 6 nm Au NPs to 50 nm Au NPs. It is found that their specific activity and long-term stability highly depend on the sum of the percentage of the {100} and {111} facets and the percentage of {110} facets, respectively. In addition, Au aerogels with the highest percentage of {110} facets can possess excellent long-term stability (retaining about 95% of the initial current) but still have excellent specific activity (about 90.42 mA cm). Thus, the specific activity and long-time stability of Au aerogels toward EGOR can be well balanced by controlling the proper percentage of {110} facets on their surfaces. Therefore, the successful fabrication of Au aerogels with greatly improved long-term stability and excellent specific activity not only provides a novel method for the design of electrocatalysts but also would boost the commercial development of direct ethylene glycol fuel cells.

To improve students' understanding of physical education teaching concepts and help teachers analyze students' cognitive patterns, the study proposes an association learning-based method for understanding physical education teaching concepts using deep learning algorithms, which extracts image features related to teaching concepts using convolutional neural networks. Moreover, a neurocognitive diagnostic model based on hypergraph convolution is constructed to mine the data of students' long-term learning sequences and identify students' cognitive outcomes. The findings revealed that the highest accuracy of the association graph convolutional neural network was 0.

Aging is typically associated with declines in episodic memory, executive functions, and sleep quality. Therefore, the sleep-dependent stabilization of episodic memory is suspected to decline during aging. This might reflect in accelerated long-term forgetting, which refers to normal learning and retention over hours, yet an abnormal retention over nights and days.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis often leads to debilitating damage in the elbow joint, which may require total elbow arthroplasty (TEA). The Kudo TEA is one of the unlinked type prostheses with reportedly favorable outcomes. However, there is limited information available regarding its long-term performance.

Introduction: Reconstruction for open multiple transmetacarpal amputation secondary to a crushing injury is really challenging. Some treatment approaches could be proposed. To avoid the drawbacks of a prosthesis and hand transplantation such as the high cost, and long-term side effects of anti-rejection drugs, toe transfers were chosen.

Glimepiride (GLM) is one of the potential antidiabetic drugs used in clinics for a long time. It is currently used in combination with metformin along with other drugs, but has shown various complications in patients from long-term use. Thus, the hypothesis is to use a lower dose of GLM with a non-toxic class of flavonoid, naringin (NARN), for better therapy with minimal side-effects.
