Hypothemycin, an epoxide derivative of (5Z)-7-oxozeaenol, was used in the semisynthesis of a series of C8-C9 diol derivatives, with many inhibiting TAK1 at submicromolar concentrations. A step-economical approach was chosen, whereby nonselective reactions functionalized the diol to generate multiple analogues in a single reaction. Using this approach, 35 analogues were synthesized using 12 reactions, providing a wealth of information about the role that the C8-C9 diol plays in TAK1 inhibition and cytotoxicity in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines. Monofunctionalized analogues exhibited strong inhibition of TAK1, showing potential for modification of this section of the molecule to assist with solubility, formulation, and other desirable properties. Most analogues were cytotoxic, and three compounds had similar or slightly increased potency with >100-fold improvement in solubility profiles.The present study validated the bifactor model of the Material Values Scale (MVS) and examined the association between materialism and subjective well-being (SWB). Study 1 utilized a material values questionnaire that 1673 college students completed. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the bifactor model of the MVS had a better fit than other models. Likewise, the findings were replicated in Study 2 using a larger sample size (N = 2627). Through structural equation modeling, only the general and specific factors of success were found to be negative predictors of SWB. Our study both provides a methodological reference for measuring the MVS and compensates for the limitations of MVS measurement results.Heavy metal ions seriously threaten human health; even a trace of them can damage the renal, nervous, and immune systems irreversibly. Although established nanozyme-based colorimetric assays have been designed for the rapid detection of heavy metal ions, the general contained surface organic ligands of nanocatalysts and low absorptivity of metal ions on solid substrates might result in a weak effect on active sites and prevent the realization of their full detection potential. Here, we developed a nanozyme-based colorimetric sensor (CPM-Pt) made by pyrolysis of peat moss with preabsorbed traces of Pt ions to ultrasensitively detect Ag+. The calcination removes organic components and produces bare nanozymes that expose rich active sites. The strong protective effect from the porous carbon support enables the embedded Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) with a partially stable positive charge after pyrolysis (∼28% Pt2+ species). By the d8-d10 metal-metal interactions between Pt2+ (4f145d8) and Ag+ (4d10), the high proportion of Pt2+ species on the surface of Pt NPs can readily capture/absorb Ag+. Subsequently, Ag+ accepts electrons from the support to form Ag atoms, which rapidly cover the peroxidase-like active sites of bare Pt NPs, weakening the activation of H2O2 to realize the response of Ag+. The colorimetric detection limit of Ag+ reached an unprecedented 1.1 pM, and the corresponding naked-eye color recognition is ultrasensitive to extremely low levels (100 pM).Although strong evidence exists for using individual hypnosis to treat pain, evidence regarding group applications is limited. This project evaluated changes in multiple outcome measures in persons with chronic pain treated with 8 weeks of group hypnosis. Eighty-five adults with diverse chronic pain etiologies completed an 8-session, structured group hypnosis treatment. Pain intensity, pain interference, and global health were evaluated at baseline, posttreatment, and 3- and 6-months posttreatment. Linear mixed effects models assessed changes in outcomes over time. In a model testing, all three outcome measures simultaneously, participants improved substantially from pre- to posttreatment and maintained improvement across follow-up. Analyses of individual outcomes showed significant pre- to posttreatment reductions in pain intensity and interference, which were maintained for pain intensity and continued to improve for pain interference across follow-up. The findings provide compelling preliminary evidence that a group format is an effective delivery system for teaching individual skills in using hypnosis for chronic pain management. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to demonstrate equivalence of outcomes between treatment modes.An actinobacterial strain, designated R-N-C8T, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Arabidopsis thaliana collected in Yunnan Province, south-west China. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain R-N-C8T had highest similarity to Nocardioides terrae CGMCC 1.7056T (96.5%), Nocardioides opuntiae KCTC 19804T (96.3%) and Nocardioides currus IB-3T (96.1%), and lower than 96.0 % similarity to other members of the genus Nocardioides. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain R-N-C8T formed an isolated branch with N. terrae CGMCC 1.7056T and N. opuntiae KCTC 19804T. The polar lipids contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phosphoglycolipid and four unidentified phospholipids in the cellular membrane. The major fatty acids were identified as iso-C16  0, anteiso-C17  0, iso-C17  0, summed feature 9 (iso-C17  1 ω9c and/or C16  0 10-methyl) and iso-C15  0. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-8(H4) and ll-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The genomic DNA G+C content was 70.9 mol%. The orthologous average nucleotide identiy values between N. terrae CGMCC 1.7056T, N. currus IB-3T and strain R-N-C8T were 77.1 and 75.1 %, respectively. DNA-DNA hybridization values between N. terrae CGMCC 1.7056T, N. currus IB-3T and strain R-N-C8T were 20.7 and 19.9 % respectively. Data from phenotypic and genotypic analyses supported that strain R-N-C8T represents a new species of Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides nematodiphilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-N-C8T (=CGMCC 1.18723T= KCTC 49528T).Memory updating is an adaptive function that requires people's registry of changes of episodes. However, the research on the role of prior knowledge on memory updating among older adults is scant. We instructed young and older adults to learn two sets of pairs with overlapping scene (A) on Day 1 (A-B) and Day 2 (A-C) and tested the competing memories on Day 3. We further manipulated the schema-congruency between item (B/C) and scene (A). Young adults performed comparatively well in the A-B and A-C memory tests, and showed no difference under different congruency conditions. However, memory updating among older adults was moderated by prior knowledge, with better memory performance in A-C test relative to A-B test when the to-be-updated item C was schema-congruent, however, with poorer memory performance in the A-C test when the to-be-updated item is schema-incongruent. This study advances the understanding that prior knowledge significantly contributes to memory updating among older adults. They would experience retroactive interference when the to-be-updated memories were consistent with their prior knowledge, yet proactive interference when the to-be-updated memories were inconsistent with their prior knowledge. Meanwhile, prior knowledge among young adults does not affect memory updating, given that their memory patterns are consistent across congruency conditions.Scalable manufacturing of metamaterials with multispectral manipulation capabilities remains highly challenging, which was generally circumvented by integrating several single-spectral metamaterials, potentially leading to complex processes, large thicknesses, and limited fabrication size. We experimentally demonstrate a standalone and scalable-manufactured multispectral metamaterial featuring simultaneous visible transmission, infrared reflection, and microwave absorption. The prepared multispectral metamaterial with an area of 255 cm2 exhibits a visible transmittance of 74.5% at wavelengths of 400-700 nm (the highest 80.2% at 510 nm), a thermal emissivity of 0.08 at the infrared (IR) wavelengths of 2.5-20 μm (the lowest 0.03 at 19.5 μm), and a microwave absorptance of 63.4% at frequencies of 8.2-12.4 GHz (the near-perfect 97.4% at 11.5 GHz) on average with a deep-subwavelength thickness of λ/47. BTK inhibitor The deep-subwavelength multispectral metamaterial consists of a submillimeter-thick polyethylene terephthalate dielectric spacer sandwiched by a patterned ultrathin metal and a metal mesh back-reflector with ultralow sheet resistances. Unlike the conventional optically transparent microwave absorbers made from indium tin oxides, the surface plasmonic modes can be excited within the submillimeter-thick multispectral metamaterial, bringing about the gap plasmon polaritons-induced microwave attenuation, together with the excellent visible transparency and high IR reflection/low IR emissivity. This work may inspire the designs and practical production of standalone multispectral metamaterials and benefit the protection against ubiquitous IR and microwave reconnaissance without impeding visual observation.Iron trifluoride (FeF3), a conversion-type cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), is based on cheap and abundant Fe and provides high theoretical capacity. However, the applications of FeF3-based SIBs have been hindered by their low-capacity utilization and poor cycling stability. Herein, we report greatly enhanced performance of FeF3 in multiple types of ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes at both room temperature (RT) and elevated temperatures. The Pyr1,4FSI electrolyte demonstrated the best cycling stability with an unprecedented decay rate of only ∼0.023% per cycle after the initial stabilization and an average coulombic efficiency of ∼99.5% for over 1000 cycles at RT. The Pyr1,3FSI electrolyte demonstrated the best cycling stability with a capacity decay rate of only ∼0.25% per cycle at 60 °C. Cells using Pyr1,3FSI and EMIMFSI electrolytes also showed promising cycling stability with capacity decay rates of ∼0.039% and ∼0.030% per cycle over 1000 cycles, respectively. A protective and ionically conductive cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer is formed during cycling in ILs, diminishing side reactions that commonly lead to gassing and excessive CEI growth in organic electrolytes, especially at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the increased ionic conductivity and decreased viscosity of ILs at elevated temperatures help attain higher accessible capacity. The application of ILs sheds light on designing a protective CEI for its use in stable SIBs.Grounded by the ecological systems perspectives proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1977, 1979) and Fivush and Merrill (2016), the present study was conducted to examine whether autobiographical memory (AM) and self-construal differed in young adults raised in the same macrosystem, but with unique microsystems. European American (EA) participants were born in the United States to mothers who were born in the United States (n = 61) and Chinese American (CA) participants were born in the United States to mothers who were born in China (n = 47). Participants completed an online study in which they reported on and rated aspects of their earliest memory; they also completed measures of self-construal and acculturation. EA participants identified more with mainstream American culture relative to CA participants, who identified to a greater extent with their heritage culture. EA participants also talked and thought more about their earliest memories relative to CA participants; interactions between group and sex were found for social words.
