Postnatal Changes of Renin and Aldosterone in Term and Preterm Infants from Birth to Day 5

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is pivotal for neonatal circulation and renal adaptation; however, postnatal changes in serum renin and aldosterone immediately after birth remain unclear.

Water Adsorption‐Induced Color Sensor: Insight Into the Sensing Mechanism and Interfacial Engineering for Improved Responsiveness

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report a unique color‐sensing phenomenon of a TiO2/SbSI:Sb2S3 device utilizing X‐ray absorption. Based on the revealed penetration and adsorption of water onto TiO2, we successfully improved the color response speed and sensitivity by incorporating a hydrophilic polymer interlayer, thereby opening up opportunities for photodetection applications ...

Antenna tests with a hologram-based CATR at 650 GHz [PDF]

, 2009
A hologram-based compact antenna test range (CATR) is designed, constructed, and used to test a 1.5-m antenna at 650 GHz. The CATR is based on a 3.16-m-diameter hologram as the collimating element.

Distinct Expression Profiles of Neuroblastoma-Associated mRNAs in Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow of Non-High-Risk and High-Risk Neuroblastoma Patients

Biology
Non-high-risk (non-HR) neuroblastoma (NB) patients have excellent outcomes, with more than a 90% survival rate, whereas HR NB patients expect less than a 50% survival rate.

Advancements in Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment: The Promise of Quasi‐Liquid Surfaces to Reduce Salt Scaling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Durable quasi‐liquid polymer brush surfaces provide an anti‐scaling strategy for hypersaline brine evaporation and zero‐liquid‐discharge desalination. The smooth, liquid‐like QLS interface suppresses substrate‐side salt nucleation, promotes compact crystallization and dewetting, reduces crystal–surface contact area, and enables low‐adhesion salt ...
