This case series cohort study investigated gait characteristics based on sensor data obtained from personalized active powered lower limb exoskeletal robot-assisted gait training and assessed its putative therapeutic effects in patients with stroke. Preliminary findings suggest that the application of the exoskeletal robot did not improve gait symmetry under robot assistance and could facilitate inter-joint coordination within the hip-knee joint movement on the affected side. These findings suggest that robot-assisted gait training could improve gait by guiding motor learning.

Natural gas stands as the most ecologically sustainable fossil fuel, constituting nearly 25% of worldwide primary energy utilization and experiencing rapid expansion. This article offers an extensive comparative analysis of nano filter elements, focusing on pressure drop and pollutant removal efficiency. The primary goal was to assess the superior performance of nano filter elements and their suitability as an alternative for Town Border Station (TBS). The research encompassed a six-month examination period, involving routine pressure assessments, structural examinations, and particle characterization of the filter elements. The results revealed that nano filters showed better performance in adsorbing aluminum than conventional filters, possibly due to their cartridge composition. Nano filters contained phosphorus, sulfur, and copper, while conventional filters lacked these elements. The disparity can be attributed to the finer mesh of the nano filter, capturing smaller pollutants. Although the nano filter had minimal silicon, the conventional filter showed some, posing concerns. Despite having 19 extra pleats, the nano filter maintained gas flow pressure while capturing more particles than the conventional filter.

The proliferation of wireless technology calls for the development of cost-effective Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding materials that reduce the susceptibility of high-speed electronic circuits to undesired incoming radiation. Ideally, such materials offer protection over wide frequency ranges and are insensitive to the polarization or angle of incidence of the impinging fields. Here, next-generation EMI shielding materials composed of polymer composites with conductive and magnetic fillers are introduced. It is shown that careful control of the concentration and dispersion of the polymers’ conductive and magnetic constituents permits tuning of the composites’ intrinsic electrical and magnetic properties. The resulting EMI shields are lightweight, cheap and offer greater protection than traditional metal gaskets and foams. In this work, cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe2O4) decorated on graphene-based material were dispersed in polylactic acid (PLA) matrix for high EM absorption level in X-band (8-12 GHz). The decoration of the magnetic particles was performed on the as-prepared conductive graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). GNP composites exhibited higher DC conductivity, and permittivity than rGO composites. This is attributed to issues associated with the reduction process, including a lack of conductivity due to the insulated oxygen functional groups and the reduction in the lateral size. Compared with rGOs, the lack of out-plane functional groups causes the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles to agglomerate and not cover the entire surface of the GNPs. These morphological differences improve the magnetization and EM absorption of the composite system. The compatibilizer (pyrene-PLA-OH) was added to the composites to enhance dispersion of the GNPs in the polymer matrix which benefits in higher absorption of the shield. The influence of the compatibilizer on parameter, the reflection loss (RL) of the composite were determi

In contrast to the Mott transition found in RNiO3 (R= rare earths), the metal-insulator transition temperature in the perovskite NaOsO3 is not sensitive to pressure. The peculiarity may be correlated to how the crystal structure of NaOsO3 responds to high pressure, which has been rarely studied so far. The pressure-induced bond-length shrinking can increase the orbital overlap integral and therefore the electron bandwidth. However, in the orthorhombic perovskite structure, the pressure-induced bending in the bond angle Os-O-Os may compensate for the bandwidth broadening due to the bond-length shrinking in some circumstances. A recent structural study on polycrystalline NaOsO3 indicated that orthorhombic distortion is enlarged under high pressure. But, how the local structure changes under pressure remains unknown. Moreover, a highly unusual phase transition from the orthorhombic phase (Pbnm) to a polar phase (Pbn21) occurs at around 18 GPa [Sereika et al., npj Quantum Mater. 5, 66 (2020)]. Motivated by these concerns, we have done a more comprehensive structural study on NaOsO3 using single-crystal diffraction with synchrotron radiation at high pressures up to 41 GPa. Diffraction patterns over the entire pressure range can be refined well with the Pbnm structural model. Moreover, the refinement results reveal in detail how the local structures change under pressure corresponding to the enhanced orthorhombic distortion from the lattice parameters. We have carried out a systematic study for understanding the pressure effect on the orthorhombic perovskites in the context of the influences of the charge distributions in the ABO3 formula, i.e., A3+B3+O3, A2+B4+O3, and A1+B5+O3 and the B-site cations from the 3d to the 4d and 5d row of elements. To fulfill this purpose, we have revisited two families of 3d perovskites: RCrO3 and RFeO3.
