Li-confinable core-shell hosts have been extensively studied because they mitigate Li dendrite growth and volume change by reducing the effective current density and storing Li inside the core space during consecutive cycling. However, despite these fascinating features, these hosts suffer from unwanted Li growth on their surface (i.e., top plating) due to the carbon shell hindering Li-ion movement especially at higher current densities and capacities, resulting in poor electrochemical performance. In this study, we propose a one-dimensional porous Li-confinable host with lithiophilic Au (Au@PHCF), which is synthesized by a scalable dual-nozzle electrospinning. Because of the well-interconnected conductive networks forming three-dimensional structure, porous shell design enabling facile Li-ion transport, and hollow core space with lithiophilic Au storing metallic Li, the Au@PHCF can suppress the Li top plating and improve the Li stripping/plating efficiency compared to their counterparts even at 5 mA cm, eventually achieving stable cycling performances of the LiFePO full cell and Au@PHCF-Li symmetric cell for over 1000 and 2000 cycles, respectively. Finite element analysis reveals that the structural merit and lithiophilicity of Au enable fast reversible Li operation at the designated core space of the Au@PHCF, implying that the structural design of the Li-confinable host is crucial for the stable operation of promising Li-metal batteries at a practical test level.

The performance assessment of slopes during various disturbances is important to ensure the safe service of slopes. Due to the four characteristics of slope engineering, it is difficult for existing resilience evaluation models to accurately reflect slope performance. To address this problem, a resilience evaluation model applicable to slopes was developed in this study.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a significant healthcare challenge, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches to address its complex and multifactorial nature. Traditional drug discovery strategies targeting single molecular targets are not sufficient for the effective treatment of AD. In recent years, MTDLs have emerged as promising candidates for AD therapy, aiming to simultaneously modulate multiple pathological targets.

Nanosecond pulse power has many driving advantages in the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) application field, including better discharge effect, higher discharge efficiency, and lower electrode temperature. A high-voltage pulse voltage power supply (HV-PVPS) with a multi-turn ratio linear pulse transformer (PT) based on Marx circuit and PT topologies are suitable for most DBD plasma applications with fewer expansion modules, lower cost, smaller volume, and higher reliability comparing with the all-solid-state Marx nanosecond pulse power supply. However, during the process of DBD driven by an HV-PVPS based on Marx and PT topologies, the PT is prone to magnetic core saturation, which limits the application for DBD.

The purpose of this study was to determine any changes in the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles, which are core muscles, in children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis (NE) using the shear wave elastography (SWE). In this case-control study, the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles of 40 children and adolescents with NE and 40 healthy controls were evaluated. The rectus abdominis muscle was examined at the right supra- and subumbilical levels, and the diaphragm at the right 9th-10th intercostal space.
