Summary: This study investigated the failure of control over reference in speakers with schizophrenia through dynamic temporal measures. The results showed that the schizophrenia group had a higher density of noun phrases and greater topological distances between recurrent entities compared to the control group. Logistic regression using topological measures achieved an 84.2% accuracy in distinguishing schizophrenia patients from controls.

Summary: A strategy to stabilize Sn perovskite enabled by an amine complex was proposed in this study, addressing the issues of poor crystallization and chemical stability of Sn perovskites. The resulting Sn perovskite films showed enhanced crystallinity and stability compared to those made with conventional additives. The device achieved a higher efficiency and maintained over 90% of the initial efficiency after 1000 hours of light soaking.

Summary: This study investigates the use of additives with the CB antisolvent in fabricating perovskite solar cells. It is found that an additive with a donor number between 9.0 and 27.0 kcal/mol can significantly widen the antisolvent treating time slot and enlarge the processor binary mixed solvent. The process also reduces bulk defects in perovskite films, resulting in high power conversion efficiencies.

Summary: This study investigated how steric effects, pi-stacking interactions, and electronic substituent effects impact the spin-crossover behavior of Bis(formazanate)iron(II) complexes. Six new compounds were synthesized and characterized, with the inclusion of additional OMe donors resulting in a significant shift in spin-crossover temperatures.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of Ru on the solution heat treatment window of a Ni-based single crystal superalloy. The addition of Ru influences the solidification microstructure and widens the window. Ru decreases the partition ratios between the dendrite core and dendrite edge regions, promotes the enrichment of Re at the γ/γ' phase interfaces, inhibits the formation of (Ta, X)C carbide, and helps to widen the solution treatment temperature window of the alloy.

Summary: It is crucial to develop an efficient noble-metal-based catalyst with wide temperature window and stability for CO preferential oxidation in H-2. A catalyst of Ir nanoparticles supported by Fe-substituted hexaaluminate has been synthesized, showing total CO conversion in an unprecedented temperature range and good resistance to CO2 and H2O. Detailed characterizations and DFT calculations reveal the interaction between Ir species and Fe cations in promoting low-temperature CO oxidation and maintaining CO preferential oxidation at high temperatures.

Summary: The electrochemical performance of flexible carbon-nanotube based supercapacitors was investigated. The addition of Boron nitride, graphene, and lithium titanate on the electrodes significantly enhanced the capacitance/energy-density. The best device demonstrated a capacitance/energy density of 1662.6 F g(-1)/124.2 Wh kg(-1) and maintained a capacitance of 86-97% after 500 bending/charging-discharging cycles.

Summary: Dysregulated epigenetic processes can lead to malignant transformation and tumor formation, and epigenetic drugs aim to restore normal cellular function in cancer cells. However, the successful development of epigenetic modulators remains challenging, with one key challenge being the identification of an optimized dosing regimen to maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity.

Summary: A circular bioeconomy approach is important for combating climate change by replacing fossil fuel-derived polymers with biodegradable biobased polymers. Cyanophycin, a polymer produced by cyanobacteria, has potential applications and can be modified and combined with other compounds for various uses. Finding new variants of cyanophycin may expand its industrial potential.

Summary: New oxazolidinones are being developed for the treatment of tuberculosis and NTM infections, as a safer alternative to linezolid and tedizolid. This study compared the mitochondrial toxicity and efficacy against mycobacterial pathogens of approved and novel oxazolidinones. The results suggest that TBI-223 and sutezolid show promise for the treatment of tuberculosis and NTM lung disease caused by Mycobacterium kansasii.

Summary: This study systematically analyzed the electrochemical, spectrochemical, and photophysical properties of a series of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes. The results showed that modifying the ligands can shift the absorption and emission energies, and revealed the interplay between red-shifting MLCT absorptions and accessing the dissociative (3)dd* states. This work provides important insights for the future design of ligands and complexes for photochemotherapies.
