Hydroclimatic variability in the tropical Pacific reflects large-scale ocean-atmosphere processes that imprint on global climate, but hydroclimate over last millennium remains uncertain. Here we present a multi-proxy reconstruction from lacustrine sediment record Kiritimati Atoll spans millennium. A lake salinity δ2H values of total lipid extracts, combined with changes mineralogy and stable is...

Wafer-scale MoS2 neat films with controllable thicknesses were successfully fabricated by vacuum filtering liquid-exfoliated MoS2 dispersions. The obtained MoS2 filtered thin films were systematically characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that th...

Twelve healthy young men were assessed in each of four experimental conditions presented in a Latin Square design: 8-hr time in bed (TIB) and placebo, 4-hr TIB and placebo, 8-hr TIB and ethanol, and 4-hr TIB and ethanol. After consuming ethanol (0.6 g/kg) or placebo (0900-0930 hr) with 20% supplements at 1030 and 1100 hr, subjects were tested for sleepiness (Multiple Sleep Latency Test at 1000,...

Glioma of infiltrative nature is challenging for surgeons to achieve tumor-specific and maximal resection. Raman spectroscopy provides structural information on the targeted materials as vibrational shifts. We utilized Raman spectroscopy to distinguish invasive tumors from normal tissues. Spectra obtained from replication-competent avian sarcoma-(RCAS-) based infiltrative glioma cells and gliom...

Abstract Background Early supported discharge (ESD) facilitates people with a stroke to be discharged from the hospital environment earlier than conventional care continue their rehabilitation within home multi-disciplinary team. Known benefits of ESD Randomised Controlled Trials conducted include reducing length stay, long term dependency, and cost savings. There is limited qualitative evidenc...
