Effect of Metal–Metal Distance on the Performance of Dual‐Atom Catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: A Density Functional Theory and Micro‐kinetics Study

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic modeling were carried out on 108 dual‐atom catalysts with varied metalmetal distances ranging from 2.2 to 3.5 Å. The results reveal that moderate spacing of around 3.0 Å promotes bridging oxygen adsorption and dissociative reduction pathways, weakens the hydroxylhydroperoxyl scaling relationship ...

More Photocatalysis With Less Light in Polar Semiconductors—The Role of Pyroelectric Fields

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The work demonstrates that the modulated solar irradiation enhances the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange on BaTiO3 despite reducing the photon flux by about 50%, resulting in a net overcompensation of catalytic efficiency. The effect arises from pyroelectric polarization near the phase transition, triggered by infrared heating of water ...

A Large Language Model‐Based Approach for Fault Detection and Its Application

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This work proposes an interpretable fault detection framework utilizing pre‐trained large language models to overcome small sample sizes and label scarcity in industrial datasets. A stepwise tuple‐based validation mitigates hallucinations, ensuring reliable detection.

Treatment of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea With a Domestic Implantable Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator: A Case Report

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implantable hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is an established neuromodulatory therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). However, no domestically developed HNS system has been clinically implemented in China to date.

Herpesvirus and Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy in Chinese Children: An Epidemiological and Clinical Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the possible association between adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) and herpesviral infections in children, and to examine correlations between specific viral detection and clinical characteristics. Methods We enrolled 43 children aged 3–14 years with ATH (mean age 76.56 ± 25.65 months; 31 boys).

Broad adaptive immune responses to M. tuberculosis antigens precede TST conversion in tuberculosis exposed household contacts in a TB-endemic setting.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe identification of Mycobacterium-tuberculosis (Mtb) infected individuals remains a challenge due to an insufficient understanding of immune responses detected with the current diagnostic tests for latent tuberculosis i.e. the tuberculin skin

Tuberculosis screening by tuberculosis skin test or QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Assay among an immigrant population with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and BCG vaccination.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
RationaleEach year 1 million persons acquire permanent U.S. residency visas after tuberculosis (TB) screening. Most applicants undergo a 2-stage screening with tuberculin skin test (TST) followed by CXR only if TST-positive at > 5 mm.

Critically Ill Children Show Disrupted Sleep Patterns and Atypical Electroencephalograms: An Observational Cohort Study

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Sleep disruptions are common in hospitalised children. This study described sleep in critically ill and non‐critically ill hospitalised children, including young infants and patients with central nervous system injuries. Methods This observational cohort study included two groups: critically ill children admitted to a paediatric intensive ...

From barriers to benefits: A personalized sleep intervention enhances sleep duration and emotional health in chronic short sleepers

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This pilot study evaluated a personalized sleep intervention incorporating motivational interviewing techniques to address sleep barriers, along with tailored sleep hygiene and extension for chronic short sleepers. Eleven university students completed a 14‐day sequential intervention (baseline, sleep hygiene and a combined phase adding 90‐min ...
