Leveraging room-temperature plastic deformation for tailoring inorganic thermoelectrics

Mg 3 (Sb, Bi) 2 has emerged as a promising material due to its favorable combination of high thermoelectric performance and ductility. However, a key question remains regarding how plastic deformation affects its thermoelectric properties. Here we investigate the evolution of def...

Psychological Pathways From Disease Activity to Quality of Life in Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Serial Mediation Study

ABSTRACT Aim To examine whether psychological distress and self‐efficacy serially mediate the relationship between disease activity and quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods We included 525 hospitalized pa...

Phase Boundary Engineering Enables Multivalley Activation for High-Performance ZrCoSb Half-Heuslers

Abstract P-type ZrCoSb-based half-Heusler compounds are promising thermoelectric materials for high-temperature power generation because of their excellent thermal stability and mechanical robustness. However, their performance still lags behind that of state-of-the-art p-type Zr...

Genetic etiology associated with post‑transplant outcomes in a retrospective cohort of pediatric kidney transplant recipients based on genomics analysis

To determine whether genetic etiology, as determined by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy-number variant (CNV) analysis, is associated with graft survival and early injury profiles in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort s...
