Role of Oxygen Vacancy on the Hydrophobic Behavior of TiO₂ Nanorods on Chemically Etched Si Pyramids by C. P. Saini (3601670)

“…Oxygen vacancy (OV) controlled hydrophobicity of self-assembled TiO₂ nanorods (NRs) on chemically etched Si pyramids is investigated by irradiating with 50 keV Ar⁺-ions at room temperature. Apparent contact angle (CA) is found to increase from 122° to 141° up to a fluence of 1 × 10¹⁵ ions/cm², followed by a gradual reduction to 130° at 1 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm². …”

Inequalities in Alcohol-Related Mortality in 17 European Countries: A Retrospective Analysis of Mortality Registers by Johan P. Mackenbach (147412)

“…<div><p>Background</p><p>Socioeconomic inequalities in alcohol-related mortality have been documented in several European countries, but it is unknown whether the magnitude of these inequalities differs between countries and whether these inequalities increase or decrease over time.</p><p>Methods and Findings</p><p>We collected and harmonized data on mortality from four alcohol-related causes (alcoholic psychosis, dependence, and abuse; alcoholic cardiomyopathy; alcoholic liver cirrhosis; and accidental poisoning by alcohol) by age, sex, education level, and occupational class in 20 European populations from 17 different countries, both for a recent period and for previous points in time, using data from mortality registers. …”

A first estimate of the structure and density of the populations of pet cats and dogs across Great Britain by James Aegerter (3921485)

“…In addition, the lack of spare capacity to care for unowned cats in welfare organisations suggests that any increase in their rate of acquisition of cats, or any decrease in the rate of re-homing might provoke problems during a period of crisis.…”

Optimal Dose and Method of Administration of Intravenous Insulin in the Management of Emergency Hyperkalemia: A Systematic Review by Ziv Harel (2696983)

“…Alternatively, 20 units of short acting insulin may be given as a continuous intravenous infusion over 60 minutes in patients with severe hyperkalemia (i.e., serum K⁺ concentration > 6.5 mmol/L) and those with marked EKG changes related to hyperkalemia (e.g., prolonged PR interval, wide QRS complex) as an alternative to 10 units of short acting insulin. …”

The global impacts of US climate policy: a model simulation using GCAM-TU and MAGICC by Han Chen (228557)

“…<p>To assess the potential impacts of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, this study applied GCAM-TU (an updated version of the Global Change Assessment Model) to simulate global and regional emission pathways of energy-related CO₂, which show that US emissions in 2100 would reduce to −2.4 Gt, −0.7 Gt and −0.2 Gt under scenarios of RCP2.6, RCP3.7 and RCP4.5, respectively. Two unfavourable policy scenarios were designed, assuming a temporary delay and a complete stop for US mitigation actions after 2015. …”

Fetal and maternal Doppler adaptation to maternal exercise during pregnancy: a randomized controlled trial by Irene Fernández-Buhigas (14763235)

“…The evolution of the UA PI <i>z</i>-score during the pregnancy was different in the two study groups, with a higher <i>z</i>-score in the exercise group at 20 weeks and a subsequent decrease until delivery while in the control group it remained stable at around zero.…”

Hydrophobins from <i>Aspergillus</i> Mediate Fungal Interactions with Microplastics by Ross R. Klauer (21686414)

“…Upon inoculation of <i>Aspergilli</i> with microplastic particles, up to 3.85 ± 1.48 g of microplastics were flocculated per gram of dry fungal biomass; this phenomenon was observed across various plastics ranging in size from 0.05 to 5 mm. Gene knockouts revealed that hydrophobins drive microplastic-fungi binding, evidenced by a decrease in flocculation relative to that of wild-type Aspergillus fumigatus. …”
