The study of short association fibers is still an incomplete task due to their higher inter-subject variability and the smaller size of this kind of fibers in comparison to known long association bundles. However, their description is essential to understand human brain dysfunction and better characterize the human brain connectome. In this work, we present a multi-subject atlas of short association fibers, which was computed using a superficial white matter bundle identification method based on fiber clustering. Read More

Deep insights into and substantial enhancement of the effective anisotropy energy barrier for magnetization reversal () are vitally important for the technological applications of dysprosium(III)-based single-molecule magnets (Dy-SMMs). To fully refine the ligand-field effect on spin relaxation, four centrosymmetric {Dy} entities with formula [Dy(CHOH)L(COO)] (HL 2-hydroxy-'-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide) have been solvothermally prepared by varying the side groups of carboxylate coligands (COO, = CF for , H for , CH for , and CpFe for ). Structural analyses reveal that all of the Dy carriers in have the same NO donor environments, and the non-coordinative groups attached to the equatorial carboxylate bridges have not substantially changed the binding ability of the shortest Dy-O bonds located at the axial position of the ligand field.

The disease caused by Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) has brought substantial economic losses to the largemouth bass aquaculture industry in China. Vaccination was considered as a potential way to prevent and control this disease. As a kind of sustained and controlled release system, alginate and chitosan microspheres (SA-CS) are widely used in the development of oral vaccination for fish. Read More

Pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) have been excluded from COVID-19 vaccine registry and the majority of post-marketing trials, despite the recognized increased risk of severe infections and complications. The lack of efficacy and safety data prevented the formulation of specific indications/guidelines for vaccination and could have also contributed to increased vaccine hesitancy (VH) in PBW. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the rate and predictors of VH, and early adverse events (AEFI) following COVID-19 vaccine in PBW with a cross-sectional study. Read More
