Schizophrenia has been extensively associated with reduced cortical thickness (CT), and its neurodevelopmental origin is increasingly acknowledged. However, the exact timing and extent of alterations occurring in preclinical phases remain unclear. With a high prevalence of psychosis, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a neurogenetic disorder th...
Powdery hierarchical porous carbons serve as cost-effective, functional materials in various fields, namely energy storage, heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, and water/wastewater treatment. Such powdered activated carbons (PAC) limit new module designs and require further preparation steps, for example, adding polymeric binders, to be shap...
Sewage sludge was pyrolyzed at 400-800 degrees C to study the influence of the pyrolysis temperature on the bulk and structural properties of the resulting sludge-chars. For this purpose, sludge-chars were subjected to proximate and ultimate analyses and the textural and porous properties were examined by the nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm...
Interruptions to neurodevelopment during the perinatal period may have long-lasting consequences. However, to be able to investigate deviations in the foundation of proper connectivity and functional circuits, we need a measure of how this architecture evolves in the typically developing brain. To this end, in a cohort of 241 term-born infants, we ...
Gratzel's dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) can readily convert sunlight into electricity, attracting considerable attention of global scientists. The fabrication efficiency of DSSCs was greatly limited by the slow fabrication (similar to 3.5-24 h) of quasi-solid (QS) electrolytes to date. In this study, novel composites of SiO2 aerogel with graph...

Lab-scale experiments were carried out to investigate a new approach of preparing biochar-based catalyst for transesterification reaction. Black liquor (BL) from cotton pulping process was used as a precursor for preparing the catalyst via spray drying followed by fast carbonization in a fluidized bed reactor. Response surface methodology (RSM) was...

Better understanding of the storage and transportation characteristics of methane in coal seams is important to further develop and utilize the methane resources in the coalbed. This study is devoted to investigating the relationship between methane adsorption performance and pore structure by analyzing twelve coal samples derived from the typical ...
