Article Abstract

Polycrystalline samples in the solid solution ZrMnCoGeO (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) have been prepared using the ceramic method and characterised by a combination of magnetometry, X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. They all adopt the space group P4/nbm with a ∼ 9.60, c ∼ 4.82 Å and show long-range magnetic order with transition temperatures, T, in the range 2 ≤ T/K ≤ 10. The underlying magnetic structure is the same in each case but the ordered spins lie along [001] when x = 0.0 and in the (001) plane for all other compositions. In all cases the magnetically-ordered phase is a weak ferromagnet although the magnitude of the spontaneous magnetisation and the strength of the coercive field are composition-dependent. The magnetic structure can be rationalized by considering the strengths of the interactions along the distinct M-O-Ge-O-M superexchange pathways in the crystal and the observed magnetic structure is entirely consistent with the predictions of ab initio calculations.

Background: There is limited knowledge on the post-glymphatic structures such as the parasagittal dural (PSD) space and the arachnoid granulations (AGs) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Objectives: To evaluate differences in volume and macromolecular content of PSD and AG between people with newly diagnosed MS (pwMS), clinically isolated syndrome (pwCIS), or radiologically isolated syndrome (pwRIS) and healthy controls (HCs) and their associations with clinical and radiological disease measures.

Methods: A total of 69 pwMS, pwCIS, pwRIS, and HCs underwent a 3.

Recent Advances in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

Research (Wash D C)

September 2025

Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials (Ministry of Education), School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China.

With the rapid advancement of communication technologies, issues of electromagnetic pollution and electromagnetic compatibility have become increasingly severe, heightening the demand for high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have flourished in this field owing to their chemical tunability, high porosity, tailored topological structures, and functionality. MOF-derived composites exhibit diverse loss mechanisms and heterogeneous structures, achieving lightweight, broadband, and highly efficient absorption.

Hubs, influencers, and communities of executive functions: a task-based fMRI graph analysis.

Front Hum Neurosci

August 2025

Baptist Medical Center, Department of Behavioral Health, Jacksonville, FL, United States.

Introduction: This study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning-initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory-using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.

Methods: We used healthy adults' functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.

Results: The bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function.

Mitigative effects of carboxymethyl chitosan on the deterioration of gliadin tractility in frozen rice dough during frozen storage.

School of Life Science, Anqing Normal University, Jixian North Road1318, Yixiu District, Anqing 246052, Anhui Province, China.

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.
