Optimal Operation Strategy of Ship Power System Under Battle Damage for Enhancing Survivability in Long-Term Missions by Chunhan Bai, Yun Tan, Fanrong Wei, Xiangning Lin

“…After a ship suffers an external strike, the system is often in a poor state of battle damage. Currently, the support capacity of the system in all aspects decreases dramatically, the operation interval narrows, and it is not easy to ensure the completion of the long-term mission chain, especially when it involves impact loads, which is more significant. …”

Boosting C-C Coupling for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction over Novel Cu-Cubic Catalysts with an Amorphous Shell by Hanlin Wang, Tian Wang, Gaigai Dong, Linbo Zhang, Fan Pan, Yunqing Zhu

“…In this study, we employed sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant in the electrodeposition method to synthesize copper cubes encapsulated with an amorphous shell (100 nm–250 nm) containing numerous defect sites on its surface. The electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction reactions in an H-type reactor showed that, compared to ED-Cu synthesized without additives, AS (amorphous shell)-Cu-5 exhibited a Faradaic efficiency value for ethylene that was 1.7 times greater than that of ED-Cu while significantly decreasing the Faradaic efficiency of hydrogen production. …”

In Vitro Efficacy of PEI-Derived Lipopolymers in Silencing of Toxic Proteins in a Neuronal Model of Huntington’s Disease by Luis C. Morales, Luv Modi, Saba Abbasi Dezfouli, Amarnath Praphakar Rajendran, Remant Kc, Vaibhavi Kadam, Simonetta Sipione, Hasan Uludağ

“…This mutation causes muHTT to oligomerize and aggregate in the brain, particularly in the striatum and cortex, causing alterations in intracellular trafficking, caspase activation, and ganglioside metabolism, ultimately leading to neuronal damage and death and causing signs and symptoms such as chorea and cognitive dysfunction. Currently, there is no available cure for HD patients; hence, there is a strong need to look for effective therapies. …”
