It has been shown that various types of stress initiate different physiological and neuroendocrine disorders. Oxytocin (OT) is mainly produced in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus. Hypothalamic OT has antistress effects and attenuates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. One mechanism behind the antistress effects of OT is mediated through the inhibition from GABA A receptors on corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) expression at the PVN. Various ...

Void growth, as a critical stage in ductile fracture, could play some important role in the ductility of high entropy alloys (HEAs). Under a high-strain-rate tension (strain rate: 0.1~0.4/ns), our atomistic simulations reveal a severely suppressed growth of void (initial diameter: 4.0~9.1 nm) in HEAs at a low temperature, compared with that in Ni metal or Ni-based binary alloys. The emission of unclosed glide loops is found critical to void growth. Void growth is suppressed, once dislocation emission ...

Significant effort is being put into developing industrial applications for artificial intelligence (AI), especially those using machine learning (ML) techniques. Despite the intensive support for building ML applications, there are still challenges when it comes to evaluating, assuring, and improving the quality or dependability. The difficulty stems from the unique nature of ML, namely, system behavior is derived from training data not from logical design by human engineers. This leads to black- ...

Abstract Water splitting is thermodynamically uphill reaction, hence it cannot occur easily, and also highly complicated and challenging reaction in chemistry. In electrocatalytic water splitting, the combination of oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions produces highly clean and sustainable hydrogen energy and which attracts research communities. Also, fabrication of highly active and low cost materials for water splitting is a major challenge. Therefore, in the present study, γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanowires ...

Environments along the coast of Greenland are rapidly changing under the influence of a warming climate in the Arctic. To better understand the changes in the coastal environments, we performed researches in the Qaanaaq region in northwestern Greenland as a part of the ArCS (Arctic Challenge for Sustainability) Project. Mass loss of ice caps and marine-terminating outlet glaciers were quantified by field and satellite observations. Measurements and sampling in fjords revealed the important role of ...

In this research, we proposed a highly sensitive hydrogen sensor based on a new suspended structure of cross-stacked multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) sheet. MWCNT sheet is a kind of CNT film which has a super-high CNT alignment and can be easily prepared by drawing from the spinnable CNT array in large scales. By stacking the sheets onto an electrode with a 1 × 1 cm hole in mutually perpendicular directions, sensors with suspended cross-stacked structure were realized. Afterwards, a two-side Pd functionalization ...

This paper presents a computational strategy for shape change of tensegrity models to achieve the prescribed target coordinates of a set of monitored nodes via forced elongation of cables. Mathematical formulation for incremental equilibrium equations of a tensegrity model during the shape change analysis is derived and presented. An optimization approach in determining forced elongation of cables using sequential quadratic programming with defined inequality constraints is formulated and presented. ...

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which is one of the main threats to the structural integrity of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), has recently attracted much attention. In this paper, the SCC of the storage tank floor was studied by the acoustic emission (AE) and electrochemical methods. Throughout the whole SCC process, the AE signal characteristic parameters, cumulating features, and correlations were analyzed, and the signal time-frequency local features were extracted via wavelet packet analysis ...

In this study, we successfully fabricated a single-crystal Fe2O3 nanowire array based on stress-induced atomic diffusion and used this array as the photoelectrode for solar water splitting. With the surface polishing treatment on the sample surface, the density of the Fe2O3 nanowire array reached up to 28.75 wire µm-2 when heated for 90 min at 600°C. The photocurrent density of the optimized sample was 0.9 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode in a three-electrode system under ...

Informal end of life caregiving will increase over the next 30 years in line with the anticipated increase in older Māori deaths. Of concern, New Zealand’s neo-colonial trajectory (loss of lands, cultural disenfranchisement, urban migration, ethnic diversity, global diaspora and changing whānau (family, including extended family) compositions) has restricted some indigenous whānau from retaining their end of life care customs. This article reports on a qualitative pilot study on Māori whānau end of ...

A number of modern researchers have studied the relationship between religion and health. In every religious tradition, virtues such as self-sacrifice, altruism, and appreciation have been considered quite essential. Arigato-Zen (AZ) (Gratitude Zen) is an easy and simple voice-meditation developed by Dr. Machida, which motivates the feeling of altruism and appreciation. By performing AZ, one is able to cleanse the negative subconscious memories that underlie problematic phenomena. Hypothalamic oxytocin ( ...
