In vitro modeling of blood–brain barrier and interface functions in neuroimmune communication

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020
Neuroimmune communication contributes to both baseline and adaptive physiological functions, as well as disease states. The vascular blood–brain barrier (BBB) and associated cells of the neurovascular unit (NVU) serve as an important interface for immune

High Thermoelectric Performance in Low‐Cost Cu8SiSxSe6‐x Argyrodite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study discovers the great potential of Cu8SiSxSe6‐x argyrodites as new, low‐cost, Te‐free thermoelectric materials. The proposed defect scheme suppresses the phase transition, enhances the weighted mobility and optimizes the grain boundary contacts.

Race-relevant cues influence the processing of linguistic variation: Evidence from African American English and Mainstream American English

Psychology of Language and Communication
Race-relevant cues, whether vocal or visual, shape how listeners process the incoming speech signal. In order to better understand how these cues inform sentence-level processing, we asked listeners to rate the plausibility of three different sentence ...

Supercompliant Lattice Boosts n‐type AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supercompliant lattice design enables the first realization of n‐type electrical transport in AgSbTe2 by overcoming intrinsic electron‐killer defects and exceeding the doping limits imposed by the conventional Hume–Rothery rule. Accordingly, the best performance n‐type Ag0.8Na0.3Sb0.6Bi0.4Te2 sample achieves a low κ of 0.27 W·m−1·K−1 that ...

A Mouse Model of Beta-Cell Dysfunction as Seen in Human Type 2 Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2018
Loss of first-phase insulin release is an early pathogenic feature of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Various mouse models exist to study T2D; however, few recapitulate the early β-cell defects seen in humans.

Introducing an electronic tracking tool into daily multidisciplinary discharge rounds on a medicine service: a quality improvement project to reduce length of stay

BMJ Open Quality, 2018
Background Inefficient coordination of care around discharge can increase length of stay, lead to ineffective transitions and contribute an unnecessary cost burden to patients and hospital systems.

ON THE SCATTERING OF SOUND BY SOUND

Acta Physica Sinica, 1976
The problem of the non-linear interaction between two fully collimated plane-wave beams travelling in different directions has given rise to much of the controversy to date as to whether the secondary scattered radiation exists outside the interaction region. Ingard et al. expressed the primary beams with a type of discontinuous function ρ={ej(w-ky),|x|
