Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Enhancing the d–Electrocatalytic Activity of MXene Through Defect Engineering
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Applications of MXene. ABSTRACT Due to their versatile and tunable surface and bulk chemistry, MXenes have great potential as electrocatalysts for batteries and supercapacitors. When compared with other electrocatalytic processes, in electrocatalytic reactions, MXenes could improve ion diffusion and charge transfer by either providing functional groups

Ion–Molecule Reaction Products as Probes and Precursors for Preparative Mass Spectrometry
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Ion–molecule reactions in the gas phase of mass spectrometers are important for preparative mass spectrometry because they (1) provide knowledge about the intrinsic reactivity of ions, helping to predict and control their reactivity at interfaces, and (2) generate new complex ions that can be mass selected and deposited on surfaces.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

Stability Bounds for the Generalized Kadanoff‐Baym Ansatz in the Holstein Dimer
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Predicting real‐time dynamics in correlated systems is demanding: exact two‐time Green's function methods are accurate but often too costly, while the Generalized Kadanoff‐Baym Ansatz (GKBA) offers time‐linear propagation at the risk of uncontrolled behavior. We examine when and why GKBA fails in a minimal yet informative setting, the Holstein

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.Tablets submitted to drug checking services that were found to contain bromazolam. Over half of these counterfeit tablets mimicked the appearance of licensed formulations (e.g., alprazolam Xanax bars and diazepam Roche 10 mg pills). Bromazolam is now the most commonly detected street benzodiazepine in drug poisoning deaths in the United Kingdom ...
