Article Abstract

Starting from a dinuclear complex {Gd(L)(NO)(HO)}·2(CHCN) () based on 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (HL), a nonanuclear cluster {Gd(L)(μ-OH)(μ-OH)(μ-OCH)(NO) (HO)}(OH)·2HO () was obtained via modulating the amount of the ligand and base. Both of them have been structurally and magnetically characterized. Complex decorates the Gd core bridged by double μ-phenoxyl oxygen atoms and coordinated neutral CHCN molecules, while features the Gd core with a sandglass-like topology. Magnetic investigations reveal that the weaker antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent metal ions exist in complex than in , which is in agreement with the theoretical results. Meanwhile, the magnetocaloric effect with a maximum -Δ value changes from 27.32 to 40.60 J kg K at 2 K and 7 T.

ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on graphite anodes are a widely used state-of-the-art battery technology, but their energy density is approaching theoretical limits, prompting interest in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) that can achieve higher energy density. In addition, the limited availability of lithium reserves raises supply concerns; therefore, research on postlithium metal batteries is underway. A major issue with these metal anodes, including lithium, is dendritic formation and insufficient reversibility, which leads to safety risks due to short circuits and the use of flammable electrolytes.

Athlete engagement is influenced by several factors, including cohesion, passion and mental toughness. Machine learning methods are frequently employed to construct predictive models as a result of their high efficiency. In order to comprehend the effects of cohesion, passion and mental toughness on athlete engagement, this study utilizes the relevant methods of machine learning to construct a prediction model, so as to find the intrinsic connection between them.

Estimating self-performance when making complex decisions.

Metacognition, the ability to monitor and reflect on our own mental states, enables us to assess our performance at different levels - from confidence in individual decisions to overall self-performance estimates (SPEs). It plays a particularly important part in computationally complex decisions that require a high level of cognitive resources, as the allocation of such limited resources presumably is based on metacognitive evaluations. However, little is known about metacognition in complex decisions, in particular, how people construct SPEs.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has dramatically advanced non-invasive human brain mapping and decoding. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) non-invasively measure blood oxygen fluctuations related to brain activity, like fMRI, at the brain surface, using more-lightweight equipment that circumvents ergonomic and logistical limitations of fMRI. HD-DOT grids have smaller inter-optode spacing (~ 13 mm) than sparse fNIRS (~ 30 mm) and therefore provide higher image quality, with spatial resolution ~ 1/2 that of fMRI, when using the several source-detector distances (13-40 mm) afforded by the HD-DOT grid.
