Probing large cellulose microfibril formation in cotton fiber tissue

Assira KERALTA · Alfred FRENCH · Jiliang LIU · Yoshiharu NISHIYAMA · y 3 más

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth and an essential sustainable resource to humanity. Native cellulose exists in a crystalline nanofiber, cellulose microfibril (CMF). CMFs in higher plants are believed to have identical nanoscale morphology with a fibril width of 3 nm due to the shared biosynthetic mech...

Validity and reliability of children's eating behaviour trait questionnaire tools adapted for use in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review

Minahil Amin · Jookyeong T. Lee · Claire Farrow · Jacqueline Blissett · y 1 más

The reliability and validity of children's eating behaviour trait questionnaires is critical for accurately measuring and understanding children's eating behaviours among diverse populations and for developing targeted nutritional and behavioural interventions, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This revie...

Resolution of chiral drug cocrystals: complementary roles of NMR, low-frequency Raman and vibrational circular dichroism

Věra Schrenková · Adam Sklenář · Martin Dračínský · Jan Rohlíček · y 3 más

Reliable discrimination of diastereomeric pharmaceutical cocrystals remains a significant analytical challenge, particularly when structural differences are subtle or when monocrystals suitable for X-ray diffraction are not available or difficult to prepare. Here, we compare the performance of four spectroscopic techni...

The flag-transitive and point-imprimitive symmetric (v,k,λ) designs with v < 100

Mario Galici · Alessandro Montinaro

A complete classification of the flag-transitive point-imprimitive symmetric $2$-$(v,k,λ)$ designs with $v<100$ is provided. Apart from the known examples with $λ\leq 10$, the complementary design of $PG_{5}(2)$, and the $2$-design $\mathcal{S}^{-}(3)$ constructed by Kantor in \cite{Ka75}, we found two non isomorphic $...

Estimation of Subsidiary Performance Metrics under Optimal Policies

Li, Zhaoqi · Nassif, Houssam · Luedtke, Alex

In policy learning, the goal is typically to optimize a primary performance metric, but other subsidiary metrics often also warrant attention. This paper presents two strategies for evaluating these subsidiary metrics under a policy that is optimal for the primary one. The first relies on a novel margin condition that...

Passive nicotine vapor exposure model in mice reveals translationally relevant dose-dependent cotinine levels and withdrawal behaviors

Sélène Zahedi · Lieselot L.G. Carrette · Lindsey China · Tu La · y 5 más

Nicotine use disorder and electronic cigarette use remain major public health concerns. While passive vapor exposure systems have been developed in rats, efforts to replicate these approaches in mice have produced inconsistent results, with substantial variability in dosing regimens and limited validation using behavio...

Determining the Role of Cerium Hydride during CO2 Methanation

Damian VICO VAN BERKEL · Yu GAO · Nikolay KOSINOV · Jorden WAGEMAKERS · y 2 más

CO2 methanation (CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O) is a promising strategy for chemically storing renewable H2. For this reason, we have developed a highly active inverse ceria-based catalyst, CeO2/Co. In our previous studies, a clear oxidation and unit cell parameter expansion of ceria was seen in H2 atmosphere, indicative of C...
