Summary: Performance variability in athletics competition results can be attributed to factors such as the environment and changes in the athlete's physical, mental, and technical states. This study investigated the presence of Olympic cycle periodicity in modern era long and triple jumping in elite men and women. The findings suggest that periodicity driven by the Olympic cycle exists in women's long and triple jump at the elite level, with decreases in performance observed in the years following the Olympics.

Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression, often requiring conventional chemotherapy for treatment. Analysis of protein activation state revealed heterogenous pathway activation, with PI3 K/AKT/mTOR signaling being the most common event. Individualized therapeutic possibilities, such as targeting oncogenic KIT in association with specific protein markers, may have clinical value.

Summary: Metal halide perovskite materials are highly promising for high-performance LED displays. Inkjet printing, with its advantages of high material utilization, scalability, mask-free patterning, and high resolution, is an emerging technology for next-generation displays. However, achieving precise control of perovskite crystalline dynamics in the inkjet printing process is still a challenge. In this study, triple-functional fluoropolymers were introduced into perovskite precursor inks to tune crystal growth, enhance photoluminescence intensity, prolong charge carrier lifetime, and improve humidity stability. Complex perovskite patterns were successfully printed and applied in information encryption and perovskite LEDs, demonstrating superior performance.

Summary: Hollow MoS2 cubes and spheres were successfully synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method with the hard template method. The hollow MoS2 cubes exhibited higher specific capacitance and energy density compared to the hollow MoS2 spheres. The symmetrical supercapacitors assembled with these hollow structures showed good performance and high capacity retention after multiple cycles. These findings suggest that controlling the pore structure and surface characteristics of MoS2 is crucial for enhancing its electrochemical properties.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Summary: The stability of La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-delta, a perovskite-type oxide, under reducing conditions is dependent on the manganese content. Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.

Summary: Inspired by the successful transfer of freestanding ultrathin films of SrTiO3 and BiFeO3, this study assessed the structural stability and investigated the electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of a group of two-dimensional perovskite-type materials called perovskenes. The findings revealed that these materials are wide bandgap semiconductors with potential application in UV shielding. Moreover, they exhibit better electrical and thermal conductivity at high temperatures, enabling efficient power generation in thermoelectric devices.
