The ability to perform magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or spectroscopy at significantly different magnetic field strengths during scanning holds great potential for expanding the range of contrast parameter options and obtaining high "superthermal" spin polarization for increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or measuring certain spins at what would otherwise be impractically high RF frequencies. Enabling measurements at multiple field strengths heretofore has required either rapidly altering the strength of a resistive magnet with pulsed currents or shuttling the specimen between two field regions. We propose a novel approach to switching-field MR that we expect to be practical for live animal and ultimately human imaging. In this paper we propose the design of a liquid-helium-free fast switching-field MR magnet that can change the field very quickly in time (≤ 1 s) between significantly different field strengths. For this magnet, two types of NbSn wire are selected, and AC loss is measured by electrical method, and characteristics are analyzed.

Functional fibrous membranes with high mechanical properties are intensively developed for different application fields. In this study, to enhance moisture and air permeability without compromising mechanical strength, a facile float-surface modification strategy is employed to fabricate Janus fibrous membranes with distinct hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity using the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibrous membranes. By coating one side of the HDPE fibrous membranes with polydopamine (PDA) and a superhydrophilic polyelectrolyte, the obtained Janus HDPE fibrous membranes demonstrate an excellent water transmission rate (577.

Introduction: The maternal mortality crisis in the United States disproportionately affects women who are Black, especially those living in the Gulf South. These disparities result from a confluence of healthcare, policy, and social factors that systematically place Black women at greater risk of maternal morbidities and mortality. This study protocol describes the Southern Center for Maternal Health Equity (SCMHE), a research center funded by the National Institutes of Health in 2023 to reduce preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality while improving health equity.

Here, we evaluated two leading mass spectrometry techniques, Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) and Tandem Mass Tagging (TMT), for extensive protein abundance profiling. DIA provides label-free quantification with a broad dynamic range, while TMT enables multiplexed analysis using isobaric tags for efficient cross-sample comparisons.

To achieve superior energy storage performance in dielectric polymer films, it is crucial to balance three key properties: high dielectric constant, high breakdown strength, and low dielectric loss. Here, we present the realization of ultrahigh efficiency and energy density in electrospun MBene/PEI composite films, achieved through an in-plane aligned doping pattern. The 1.

Pnictogen bond (PnB) occurring on the group-15 elements is recognized as σ- or π-hole-based interaction that has garnered attention in the fields of anion recognition and organocatalysis. Due to the polyvalent feature of pnictogens and high directionality, PnB possesses potential in the design of convergent coassembled materials with acceptors containing lone pair electrons or anions, which however is rarely explored so far. Herein, we unveil the role of antimony (Sb)-based PnB donors in producing self-assembled chiroptical materials with lone pair electron containing acceptors.
