A wealth of details regarding an individual's state of health, like a person's respiratory and metabolic functioning, can be studied by analyzing the volatile molecules and atoms in human exhaled breath. Besides, the salinity of seawater is a crucial factor in understanding its characteristics because any variation in the salinity of seawater represents the variations in the hydrological, biological, and chemical distributions. In this paper, a symmetrical one-dimensional phononic structure is theoretically designed using two symmetrical crystals separated with a defective cavity. This structure has been designed to excite a topological edge state coupled with defect mode. The coupled mode achieves high sensitivity to NaCl concentration in an aqueous solution, seven times higher than the defective one. By ranging the NaCl concentration from 0 to 21%, the average sensitivity is 467 and 3160 Hz/% for defect mode and coupled modes, respectively. The bandwidth of the coupled mode of 170 Hz is much narrower than that of the defect mode of 671 Hz for detecting salinity. For detecting the increase in [Formula: see text] concentration in dry exhaled breath by ranging the [Formula: see text] concentration from 0 ppm to 100 ppm, the average sensitivity is [Formula: see text] Hz/ppm for coupled mode. As a result of these enhancements in the sensitivity and bandwidth of the coupled mode, the coupled mode is recommended to be used in different biosensing applications.

Ruminative reflection has been linked to enhanced executive control in processing internally represented emotional information, suggesting it may serve as an adaptive strategy for emotion regulation. Investigating the neural substrates of reflection can deepen our understanding of its adaptive properties. This study used network-based statistic (NBS)-Predict methodology to identify resting state functional connectivity (FC)-based predictors of ruminative reflection in a healthy sample.

High-performance solid-state proton gating membranes based on two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded organic framework composites.

Biological ion channels exhibit strong gating effects due to their zero-current closed states. However, the gating capabilities of artificial nanochannels have typically fallen short of biological channels, primarily owing to the larger nanopores that fail to completely block ion transport in the off-states. Here, we demonstrate solid-state hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks-based membranes to achieve high-performance ambient humidity-controlled proton gating, accomplished by switching the proton transport pathway instead of relying on conventional ion blockage/activation effects.

We introduce a computational methodology for evaluating and analyzing spin-vibration couplings in molecular systems, enabling insights into the interplay between electronic spins and molecular vibrations. By mapping ab initio electronic structure calculations onto molecular spin Hamiltonians, our approach captures those vibrational interactions potentially driving spin relaxation process. Spin-vibration couplings, derived from Holstein and Peierls terms, highlight the pivotal role of vibrational mode symmetry in spin decoherence and efficient energy dissipation.
