Based on first-principles calculations, the binding energy of hydrogen atom to YO and YO|bcc Fe interface (relative to bcc Fe side) with cube-on-cube orientation is at least 0.45 eV, if hydrogen substitutional is considered, or at least 0.26 eV if only hydrogen interstitial is considered. The calculated binding energies do not have a unique fixed value, because they are dependent on the interface structure, the Fermi level of YO near the interface and the chemical potential of Y/O. Hydrogen substitutional is more stable than hydrogen interstitial near the interface for Fermi level around calculated Schottky barrier height (SBH) at equilibrium. The YO particle interior can be an effective trapping site for hydrogen. Hydrogen interstitial, hydrogen substitutional and Y/O vacancy have a much lower energy near the interface than within the YO particle, presumably due to image charge interaction related to their non-zero charge state. For neutral impurities or defects, the energy near interface and that far away from the interface are similar (⩽0.1 eV difference) for a perfect coherent interface. The YO|bcc Fe interface should provide effective trapping sites for hydrogen atoms in oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels.

Co-free high-Ni layered cathode materials LiNiMeO (Me = Mn, Mg, Al, etc.) are a key part of the next-generation high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high specific capacity and low cost. However, the hindered Li kinetics and the high reactivity of Ni result in poor rate performance and unsatisfied cycling stability.

Exploring the perspectives of early-stage postoperative glioblastoma patients and their caregivers on end-of-life care planning: An exploratory qualitative interview study.

Aim: Compare the convergent and divergent viewpoints of early-stage postoperative patients with glioblastoma and their caregivers on end-of-life care planning in Taiwan.

Background: Decision-making capacity in patients with glioblastoma may be compromised as disease progresses, making early future care planning essential to ensure that the provided care aligns with patients' goals. However, within many Asian cultures, the tendency to avoid discussions about death can lead patients to feel hesitant about addressing end-of-life care options.

Purpose: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 5% of the pediatric population, with increased prevalence among those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reports suggest that unrecognized and untreated ADHD impairs T1D control and that ADHD may be underdiagnosed in the Polish population. The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommends neurodevelopmental assessments in children with T1D, but specific guidelines on procedures and implementation are lacking.

: Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been demonstrated as an adjustable device to generate various combinations of short-lived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and as a promising appliance for cancer therapy. This study investigated the effects of direct and indirect treatments of Argon-based CAP to cancer cells (A2058, A549, U2OS and BCC) and fibroblasts (NIH3T3 and L929) on cell viability. We also aimed to understand whether plasma-generated RONS were involved in this process using genetic evidence.
