ELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE INCORPORATING SIZE- AND MORPHOLOGY-CONTROLLED METASTABLE VANADIUM PENTOXIDE AS A CATHODE MATERIAL FOR ION BATTERIES
The Li-ion paradigm of battery technology is fundamentally constrained by the monovalency of the Li-ion. A straightforward solution is to transition to multivalent ion chemistries, with Mg2+ the most obvious candidate due to considerations of size and mass. Despite early interest, the realization of Mg batteries has faced myriad obstacles, including a sparse selection of cathode materials demonstrating the ability to reversibly insert divalent ions. Disclosed herein is evidence of reversible topochemical and electrochemical insertion of Mg2+ into a metastable one-dimensional polymorph of V2O5. Not only does ζ-V2O5 represent a rare addition to the pantheon of functional Mg battery cathode materials, but is also distinctive in exhibiting a combination of high stability, high specific capacity due to ion insertion, and moderately high operating voltage.
A wearable biosensor for real-time quantification of a biomarker in a biofluid includes at least one functional module. The functional module includes an iontophoresis induction module, a microfluidic layer, a plurality of multimodal biosensors, and a paperfluidic layer.

Abrégé
A method and system for calibrating nuclear instrumentation of a reactor is disclosed. The system comprises a reactor configured to operate at a low power level and an external heater configured to heat the reactor to its operating temperature and maintain the reactor in a critical state. The reactor maintains its temperature at a steady state by repeating steps of reducing the heater's power and increasing the reactor's power by changing one or more reactivity settings, wherein the reduced heater's power is compensated by using the increased power generated by the reactor itself. The nuclear instrumentation is configured to measure the reactor's output power and compare it with the calculated reactor's power. Based on the discrepancy between the calculated power and the measured power exceeds a threshold; and the nuclear instrumentation is appropriately calibrated by adjusting one or more settings.
Disclosed are RNA inhibitors, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) specific for RND3, alternatively referred to as RhoE.

A method and system for calibrating nuclear instrumentation of a reactor is disclosed. The system comprises a reactor configured to operate at a low power level and an external heater configured to heat the reactor to its operating temperature and maintain the reactor in a critical state. The reactor maintains its temperature at a steady state by repeating steps of reducing the heater's power and increasing the reactor's power by changing one or more reactivity settings, wherein the reduced heater's power is compensated by using the increased power generated by the reactor itself. The nuclear instrumentation is configured to measure the reactor's output power and compare it with the calculated reactor's power. Based on the discrepancy between the calculated power and the measured power exceeds a threshold; and the nuclear instrumentation is appropriately calibrated by adjusting one or more settings.

Amplicons from the hybridization chain reaction can be incubated with hemin to obtain a stable triplex structure that has horseradish peroxidase-like activity in the presence of H2O2 and a substrate molecule. The intensity of the signal is directly proportional to the amount of biomarker present. Binding one or more reagents on a nanoparticle can be coupled with this approach for use in a microfluidic or paper fluidic platform. In any of these aspects, the assay can detect as low as femtogram amounts of biomarker from the clinical sample.

AAAR antagonist BQ123 only blocks but is not able to reverse the vasoconstriction to ET-1. In contrast, ROCK inhibitors (e.g., H-1152) effectively reverse arteriolar constriction to ET-1. Therefore, ROCK inhibition is a potent and specific choice for treating coronary ischemic diseases (abnormal vasoconstriction) associated with microvascular dysfunction with overproduced ET-1. ROCK inhibitors may also be used to treat microvascular diseases related to diabetic retinopathy and microvascular dysfunction from cancer therapy or immunosuppressive medications. Since H-1152 can also reduce the basal tone of the microvasculature, ROCK inhibitors are also good diagnostic agent(s) when used during angiogram or by noninvasive methods.

MECHANICALLY RESILIENT BITUMEN MICROCAPSULES FOR MIDSTREAM TRANSPORT
Disclosed herein are methods of preparing bitumen for transport, apparatus for preparing bitumen for transport, methods of transporting bitumen, and transportation-ready forms of bitumen. Instead of relying on exogenous components to induce bitumen solidification, the methods and apparatus of the present disclosure reorganize bituminous materials derived from the same origin into core-shell bitumen microcapsules, such that relatively low solubility components (e.g. asphaltenes) encapsulate relatively high solubility components (e.g. maltenes). Importantly, the bitumen microcapsules of the present disclosure are sufficiently mechanically resilient to meet one or more thresholds for midstream transportation, and they are readily fluidized for downstream processing with conventional technologies. Taken together, these aspects may ameliorate one or more challenges in achieving commercially viable bitumen solidification technologies.
