The current research examined the phenomenon of fading affect bias - the tendency for affect associated with negative events to fade more than affect associated with positive events - within the context of romantic relationships. Participants recalled and evaluated positive and negative relationship-specific and non-relationship autobiographical events. Participants also completed measures of attachment avoidance and anxiety. Multi-level modeling demonstrated fading affect bias for relationship and non-relationship events, but that affect fade was shaped by attachment orientations. Specifically, higher attachment anxiety, and lower attachment avoidance predicted greater importance of relationship events which predicted lower fading of affective intensity of memories. Thus, attachment anxiety sustained, while attachment avoidance suppressed the affect of relational memories. We discuss implications of these findings for relationship maintenance.

Background: Because arsenate (As(V)) is a highly toxic pollutant, timely on-site monitoring of its concentration is crucial for mitigating potential environmental and health hazards. Traditional on-site detection methods for As(V) often face limitations of long response time and low sensitivity. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activity.

Background: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and powerful method for gene functional analysis in plants that pose challenges in stable transformation. Numerous VIGS systems based on Agrobacterium infiltration has been widely developed for tender tissues of various plant species, yet none is available for recalcitrant perennial woody plants with firmly lignified capsules, such as tea oil camellia. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, robust, and cost-effective VIGS system for recalcitrant tissues.

User location has emerged as a pivotal factor in human-centered environments, driving applications like tracking, navigation, healthcare, and emergency response that align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, accurate indoor localization remains challenging due to the limitations of GPS in indoor settings, where signal interference and reflections disrupt satellite connections. While Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) methods are commonly employed, they are affected by environmental noise, multipath fading, and signal interference.

In this work, we aim to unveil the general correlations between the performance of a physical reservoir computing (RC) system and the inherent nonlinear dynamics of the adopted device. Taking the metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor, one of the most popular candidate devices for compute-in-memory (CIM) technology, as the computational platform, we construct a nonlinear dynamical model of polarization in the ferroelectric layer. We then design the physical RC utilizing a single and/or an array of MFM capacitors by analyzing the model's stability and feasible dynamical cases.
