MXene/graphene oxide nanocomposites for friction and wear reduction of rough steel surfaces (open access)

MXene/graphene oxide nanocomposites for friction and wear reduction of rough steel surfaces

Article describes how development of solid lubricant materials that render reliable performance in ambient conditions, are amenable to industrial size and design complexities, and work on engineered surfaces is reported. This report presents the holistic exploration and correlation of structure-property-processing pertaining to the advancement of solid lubrication science.

Complexity synchronization: a measure of interaction between the brain, heart and lungs (open access)

Complexity synchronization: a measure of interaction between the brain, heart and lungs

Authors of the article address the measurable consequences of the network effect (NE) on time series generated by different parts of the brain, heart, and lung organ-networks (ONs), which are directly related to their inter-network and intra-network interactions. The authors assert that these same physiologic ONs have been shown to generate crucial event (CE) time series, and herein are shown ,using modified diffusion entropy analysis (MDEA) to have scaling indices with quasiperiodic changes in complexity, as measured by scaling indices, over time.

Manipulating microRNA miR408 enhances both biomass yield and saccharification efficiency in poplar (open access)

Manipulating microRNA miR408 enhances both biomass yield and saccharification efficiency in poplar

Article describes how the conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with associated negative growth impacts. The authors demonstrate, for both laboratory-and field-grown plants, that expression of Pag-miR408 in poplar significantly enhances saccharification, with no requirement for acid-pretreatment, while promoting plant growth.

An unconventional proanthocyanidin pathway in maize (open access)

An unconventional proanthocyanidin pathway in maize

Article describes that proanthocyanidins (PAs), flavonoid polymers involved in plant defense, are also beneficial to human health and ruminant nutrition. The authors explore whether there is a functional PA biosynthesis pathway in maize using a combination of analytical chemistry and genetic approaches.

Evidence and reporting standards in N-of-1 medical studies: a systematic review (open access)

Evidence and reporting standards in N-of-1 medical studies: a systematic review

Article describes how authors examined publications of medical N-of-1 trials to examine whether they meet the evidence standards and the criteria for demonstrating evidence of a relation between an independent and an outcome variable per the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards for SCEDs. The authors also examined the appropriateness of the data analytic techniques in the special context of N-of-1 designs.

DNA metabarcoding captures different macroinvertebrate biodiversity than morphological identification approaches across a continental scale (open access)

DNA metabarcoding captures different macroinvertebrate biodiversity than morphological identification approaches across a continental scale

Article describes how DNA-based aquatic biomonitoring methods show promise to provide rapid, standardized, and efficient biodiversity assessment to supplement and in some cases replace current morphology-based approaches that are often less efficient and can produce inconsistent results. The authors present a comparison of DNA metabarcoding and morphological identification, leveraging national-scale, open-source, ecological datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network.

Re-examination of the N2O+O reaction (open access)

Re-examination of the N2O+O reaction

This article is about how the reaction of N20 with O is a key step in consumption of nitrous oxide in thermal processes. In the present work ,the authors re-examined a wide range of experiments relevant for the N2O+O reaction through kinetic modeling, paying attention to the impact of artifacts such as impurities and surface reactions.
