In low-risk term newborns, network analysis of source EEG has identified the hub regions that play an important role in information transfer in the network. However, the network efficiency changes after removing particular hub regions are not yet clear. The resting state 124channel high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG) was collected from low-risk term newborns within 72 hours after birth. The functional connectivity (spectral coherence) matrix was built using source EEG data in the delta band. The Small-World Propensity (SWP) metric was computed after removing each hub region individually and four hubs simultaneously. In the individual analysis, the SWP was significantly reduced after removing the right caudate, left thalamus, right thalamus, and brainstem among 18 hub regions from the functional brain network (P < 0.05). A significant reduction in the SWP was observed when the same four hubs were removed simultaneously. Our data provide evidence for reduced network efficiency after removing hubs in low-risk newborns. These findings highlight the critical role of specific hubs and demonstrate diminished network efficiency after their removal in low-risk term newborns.

We report the cosolvency effect of formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI) in a mixture of γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and 2-methoxyethanol (2ME), a phenomenon where FAPbI shows higher solubility in the solvent blend than in either alone. We found that FAPbI exhibits 10× higher solubility in 30% 2ME in GBL than in 2ME alone and 40% higher solubility than in GBL alone at 90 °C. This enhanced solubility is attributed to the disruption of the hydrogen bonding network within 2ME, allowing its hydroxyl and ether groups to interact more freely with the solute.

The efficient removal of CO from exhaust streams and even directly from air is necessary to forestall climate change, lending urgency to the search for new materials that can rapidly capture CO at high capacity. The recent discovery that diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks can exhibit cooperative CO uptake via the formation of ammonium carbamate chains begs the question of whether simple organic polyamine molecules could be designed to achieve a similar switch-like behavior with even higher separation capacities. Here, we present a solid molecular triamine, 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene (TriH), that rapidly captures large quantities of CO upon exposure to humid air to form the porous, crystalline, ammonium carbamate network solid TriH(CO)·HO (TriHCO).

In distribution grids, excessive energy losses not only increase operational costs but also contribute to a larger environmental footprint due to inefficient resource utilization. Ensuring optimal placement of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency and reliability in power distribution networks. This research introduces the Pelican Optimizer (PO) algorithm to optimally integrate solar PV systems to radial electrical distribution grids.

Gardnerella vaginalis is the most frequently identified bacterium in approximately 95% of bacterial vaginosis (BV) cases. This species often exhibits resistance to multiple antibiotics, posing challenges for treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and explore alternative therapeutic strategies for managing bacterial vaginosis.

This study investigates the relationship between resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) topological properties and synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) positron emission tomography (PET) synaptic density (SD) in late-life depression (LLD). 18 LLD patients and 33 healthy controls underwent rs-fMRI, 3D T1-weighted MRI, and 11C-UCB-J PET scans to assess SD. The rs-fMRI data were utilized to construct weighted networks for calculating four global topological metrics, including clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, global efficiency, and small-worldness, and six nodal metrics, including nodal clustering coefficient, nodal characteristic path length, nodal degree, nodal strength, local efficiency, and betweenness centrality.
