The effect of rTMS intervention with different targets on neural remodeling in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial by Li Zhao, Li Chen, Qiu Wang, Xinyi Li, Sha Li, Chunxiao Wan

“…Functional connectivity analysis revealed significantly increased resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in the contralateral dentate nucleus and ventromedial premotor area of the affected side in the SMA group relative to the M1 group (p = 0.0319), with this enhancement showing a strong positive correlation with balance function improvement (r = 0.637, p = 0.001). Structural MRI analysis indicated that while the M1 group exhibited a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) in the medial segment of the postcentral gyrus (p = 0.02), the SMA group showed significant GMV increases in the posterior cerebellum and chorionic lobule (p = 0.0428) that demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with improved balance function (r = 0.436, p = 0.038). …”

Enhanced ammonia decomposition using a Pd-Ag membrane reactor for high-purity hydrogen production by Erasmo Salvatore Napolitano, Cristina Italiano, Adele Brunetti, Minju Thomas, Antonio Vita, Giuseppe Barbieri

“…The catalyst was synthesized using solution combustion techniques, and its structure–activity relationship was thoroughly investigated through a range of advanced characterization methods, including N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The performance of the membrane reactor was evaluated by varying the feed pressure and flow rate, using either single ammonia or a simulated outlet stream from a conventional reactor with ammonia conversions ranging from 20 % to 50 %. …”

Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…Here, we investigate the prevalence of cryptic coral groups and assess evidence for their permeability to gene flow (hybridisation) via a structured literature review of genomic studies. Using reproducible criteria to detect distinct genetic groups that are sympatric, we find that 68% of nominal species represented in population genomic studies show evidence for comprising partially reproductively isolated groups and that these distinct groups are often linked by gene flow. …”
