Valorizing bamboo-derived carbon into high-value porous electrodes remains challenging for high-rate aqueous supercapacitors, because conventional activation tends to widen pores and strip heteroatoms, whereas densification often sacrifices ion accessibility. Here we introduce a nanoarchitectonics compression-confinement activation concept that addresses this tension by regulating mass-transport and reaction kinetics through mechanical processing, without changing the activator chemistry....

CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes after rib fractures have improved over the last 2-3 decades although it remains a significant challenge. The associated odds of respiratory failure were increased by 16.1% for every additional rib fracture. Associated odds of mortality after rib fracture in the elderly were increased by 5.6% for every additional year of age, 16.0% for every additional rib fracture greater than six, and doubled if bilateral or if pulmonary contusions were present.

Arresting the growth of inflorescence meristems causes a coordinated cessation of flowering that optimizes resource allocation for seed filling. Orthologs of Arabidopsis thaliana TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) regulate inflorescence meristem activity in various species, maintaining the proliferative phase and meristem indeterminacy. However, the mechanism regulating TFL1-mediated inflorescence meristem activity remains largely unknown, especially in species with compound inflorescences. Compound...

Boredom proneness reflects a tendency to experience the state of boredom, which is correlated with negative affect (NA) and self-regulatory failure. Boredom states may motivate individuals to seek satisfying, stimulating experiences. Empirically, it is unclear whether boredom proneness is a relevant predictor of alcohol problems. In this exploratory investigation, we measured boredom proneness as a predictor of alcohol problems following a course of outpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)...

CONCLUSION: As perceptions shift toward viewing e-cigarettes as equally harmful as cigarettes, some young adults may abstain from NTP use; however, others may transition toward combustible cigarette use or other NTPs. This pattern suggests that factors which contribute to these types of beliefs may prompt product discontinuation amongst some but also inadvertently encourage shifts toward harmful NTP use patterns.
