Electronic Structure Modulation in Dopant‐Controlled Single‐Atom Graphene Catalysts for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution: A Machine Learning and First‐Principles Study

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
First‐principles DFT calculations and machine learning analysis show that heteroatom doping of graphene (G) significantly enhances the stabilization of transition‐metal single atoms by strengthening metal–support interactions and increasing charge transfer. N‐doped G exhibits higher adsorption energies, lower d‐band centers, and shorter TM–G bonds than

First Documented Resighting of a Dwarf Minke Whale From Calf to Adulthood in the Great Barrier Reef Indicates Long-Term Colour Pattern Stability and Site Fidelity. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A predictable winter aggregation of dwarf minke whales occurs annually in the Great Barrier Reef, where interannual site fidelity has been documented in adults but not previously in calves. Comparison of all photographed calves from 2003 to 2023 with a long‐term photo‐identification catalogue revealed one individual resighted from calf to adulthood ...

Using Virtual Reality Social Environments to Promote Outcomes' Generalization of AVATAR Therapy for Distressing Voices: A Case Study

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 516-525, June 2025.
ABSTRACT AVATAR therapy (AT) works by facilitating a ‘face‐to‐face’ dialog between the person and a digital representation (avatar) of their persecutory voice. Although there is cumulative evidence of this way of working with voices, enhancing the therapeutic focus on improved confidence and a sense of control of the voices in social situations ...

Impact of abrasive versus non‐abrasive cleaning on peri‐implantitis titanium release: A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Surface decontamination is integral to peri‐implantitis treatment. However, abrasive mechanical methods can cause implant surface degradation with possible adverse biological effects. No human studies have examined whether these treatments cause titanium release or impair regenerative outcomes.

Impact of pre‐surgical anxiety and fear on patient satisfaction following periodontal and implant surgical procedures

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pre‐surgical anxiety (PSA) and pre‐surgical fear (PSF) may hinder patient compliance, while patient satisfaction (PS) is vital for adherence to treatment recommendations. This prospective study investigated the impact of PSA and PSF, and the influence of patient demographics and postoperative pain, on PS after periodontal and ...
