Understanding Catalyst 'Volcano' Dependence Through Fermi-Level Controlled Kinetics Using Electronic Theory.

The ubiquitous two-step Michaelis-Menten and Temkin-Boudart reaction mechanisms are extended to include the influence of the catalyst electronic subsystem in a 5-step mechanism. The resulting kinetic equation provides an alternative explanation for the well-known volcano-shaped dependence found in catalysis. The equilibrium constants of fast electronic steps are highlighted for their influence on adsorption and desorption through the relative concentration of charged versus neutral intermediates.

The Professional Identity of STEM Faculty as Instructors of Course-based Research Experiences.

The professional identity of scientists has historically been cultivated to value research over teaching, which can undermine initiatives that aim to reform science education. Course-Based Research Experiences (CRE) and the inclusive Research and Education Communities (iREC) are two successful and impactful reform efforts that integrate research and teaching. The aim of this study is to explicate the professional identity of instructors who implement a CRE within an established iREC and to explore how this identity contributes to the success of these programs.

The Humanbecoming Concept Inventing Model: Feeling Isolated.

In this paper, the scholar explores the meaning of the phenomenon of feeling isolated as a universal humanuniverse living experience with the humanbecoming concept inventing model. For the scholar, the now-truth of feeling isolated is turbulent seclusion arising with sureness-unsureness of diverse affiliations. The ingenuous proclamation as a theoretical statement was specified in the language of humanbecoming as imaging the originating of connecting-separating with the chosen artform titled , by Edvard Munch.

"I am the mother of the kind of child you dread having": Experiences of living with chronic sorrow among parents with a disabled child.

Chronic sorrow involves parents' enduring grief due to their child's disability. This stems not only from the recurring painful reality parents face, which differs from the life they had hoped for their children, families, and themselves but from also being confronted with societal and personal norms and expectations they cannot meet. There is a lack of research on the lived experiences of parents' chronic sorrow.

Shared Experiences of Nurse Anesthesiology Faculty During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of healthcare, including the education of certified registered nurse anesthesiologists. While the literature contains reports of the impact of COVID-19 on physician anesthesiologist faculty, there was no research identified describing the impact on nurse anesthesiologist faculty. The purpose of this study was therefore to describe and explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurse anesthesiology faculty.

'It is up to me because I gave him this life' How the awareness of being permanently and unconditionally responsible shapes the experience of chronic sorrow in parents of disabled children.

Objective: The majority of parents with a disabled child experience chronic sorrow, characterized by recurrent feelings of grief and loss related to their child's disability. There is a significant lack of research on parents' lived experiences of chronic sorrow, which limits our ability to understand parents' needs and provide proper support.

Design: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted based on in-depth interviews with six parents of severely disabled children.

Results: Forty-seven studies met inclusion criteria. The majority examined the impact of prematurity ( = 32) and prenatal alcohol exposure ( = 13).

"Liberty Can Be for You One Thing, and for Me Something Different": Muslim Women's Experiences of Identity and Belonging in Switzerland.

Belonging and identity are fundamental human needs, with positive experiences closely correlated with affirmative mental health. This paper investigates how these concepts are experienced by Muslim women in Switzerland, a minority group targeted in the political campaign nicknamed the "burka ban." There were two research questions: How do Muslim women construct their identity in Switzerland? How do Muslim women experience a sense of belonging in Switzerland? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants, and data was analyzed using thematic analysis.

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PFA) Detection With Cardiac Monitoring Devices Implanted by Neurologists in Patients With Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source (ESUS).

Introduction Ischemic stroke is among the leading causes of death and disability. Approximately 50% of cryptogenic strokes are embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). The most common cause of ESUS is atrial fibrillation.

Job satisfaction, depression severity and quality of life ratings of perioperative nurses in robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgery.

The rapid introduction of technological developments into healthcare systems adds another layer of complexity to the already demanding jobs of nurses, particularly for those working in perioperative care. In the present study, our primary aim is job satisfaction, whereas the secondary outcomes are psychological well-being and quality of life (QoL) ratings of perioperative nurses who take part in robotic-assisted and pure laparoscopic surgery. A total of 101 perioperative nurses in six different centers were included in the study.

Disentangling the discrimination and mental health relationship among diverse college students: Moderation analyses of shame-proneness across race, gender, and race-by-gender interactions.

Objective: This study investigated shame-proneness as a moderating risk factor within the relationship between perceived discrimination and mental health outcomes. Moderation across race, gender, and race-by-gender intersections was also examined.

Method: Bayesian analysis was employed to examine moderation among African, Latinx, and Asian descent college students ( = 295).

Co-crystal sustained by π-type halogen-bonding inter-actions between 1,4-di-iodo-perchloro-benzene and naphthalene.

The formation and crystal structure of a co-crystal based upon 1,4-di-iodo-perchloro-benzene (CICl) as the halogen-bond donor along with naphthalene (nap) as the acceptor is reported. The co-crystal [systematic name: 1,2,4,5-tetra-chloro-3,6-di-iodo-benzene-naphthalene, (CICl)·(nap)] generates a chevron-like structure that is held together primarily by π-type halogen bonds (. C-I⋯π contacts) between the components.

Exploring the impact of miR-128 in inflammatory diseases: A comprehensive study on autoimmune diseases.

microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in various biological processes, including immune system regulation, such as cell proliferation, tolerance (central and peripheral), and T helper cell development. Dysregulation of miRNA expression and activity can disrupt immune responses and increase susceptibility to neuroimmune disorders. Conversely, miRNAs have been shown to have a protective role in modulating immune responses and preventing autoimmunity.

An extended model for chirality selection in single-walled carbon nanotubes.

The chirality selective production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) continues to represent one of the most important technological challenges. In this study, an extended model which considers all steps of the SWCNT growth process, including adsorption, decomposition, diffusion, and incorporation, is applied, for the first time, to obtain chirality selection in the SWCNT populations. We show that the dependence of the population distribution on chirality, defined as a product of the nucleation probability and the growth rate, has a volcano-shape.

Contributions of African-centered (Africentric) psychology: A call for inclusion in APA-accredited graduate psychology program curriculum.

Over the past few years, there has been increased visibility of, and attention paid to, enduring issues such as racial discrimination toward Black Americans. Black psychologists have been called upon to explain various race-related mental health issues to the public, as well as their colleagues and students. Discussions about how to heal from persistent, intergenerational, oppressive attacks on the African psyche are important, but the theories and treatments in which most practitioners are trained and considered "best practices" are Eurocentric in nature.

The relationship between response style and symptom reporting in cancer patients.

Purpose: Patient-reported outcomes are considered the gold standard for documenting treatment-related toxicities and cancer-related symptoms in the management of oncology patients. Poor concordance between patients and health care professionals (HCPs) on patients' symptoms has been documented. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between social desirability, a response style, and symptom reporting in a colorectal cancer clinic.

The Effect of High-Dose Methyl Vitamin B12 Therapy on Epileptogenesis in Rats: An In Vivo Study.

Introduction Epileptogenesis has been considered one of the most prevalent diseases affecting significant numbers of individuals worldwide. Since vitamin B12 has been reported to possess antiepileptic effects, this supports that vitamin B12 deficiency is correlated to seizure occurrence. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of vitamin B12 injection on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced rats.

Halogen-bonded co-crystal containing 1,3-di-iodo-perchloro-benzene and the photoproduct -tetra-kis-(pyridin-4-yl)cyclo-butane resulting in a zigzag topology.

The formation and crystal structure of a zigzag network held together by I⋯N halogen bonds is reported. In particular, the halogen-bond donor is 1,3-di-iodo-perchloro-benzene ( ) while the acceptor is the photoproduct -tetra-kis-(pyridin-4-yl)cyclo-butane (). Curiously, within the resulting co-crystal ( )·(), the photoproduct accepts only two halogen bonds between neighbouring 4-pyridyl rings and as a result behaves as a bent two-connected node rather than the expected four-connected centre.

"I want to focus on something that I feel really good about every day": Career development in established adulthood.

In developed countries, education and career experimentation typically extends into people's twenties (Arnett, 2000, 2015; Mehta et al., 2020). Thus, people are not committing to a career path in which they can build expertise, take on increasing responsibilities, and climb an organizational ladder (Day et al.

The role of civic capital on vaccination.

Can civic-minded individuals fight against a pandemic? In this paper, we show that civic capital plays an important role when assessing the level of compliance with COVID-19 vaccination recommendations. Analyzing data on a large sample of municipalities from the Italian region of Lombardy, we show that the share of vaccinated individuals is significantly higher in municipalities with higher pre-determined levels of civic capital. These findings are robust to the possibility of spatial spillovers across neighboring municipalities.
