Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may utilize a glass substrate to selectively withdraw exfoliated graphene from a high-energy interface between immiscible solvents. The exfoliated graphene preferentially adheres to the surface of the glass substrate for withdrawal from the noted high energy interface, leaving behind the graphite (which is too large to be effectively adsorbed relative to the glass substrate). The disclosed systems and methods are easily implemented and offer significant advantages for graphene production relative to conventional systems and methods, e.g., the disclosed systems/methods do not require the input of heat or mechanical energy which translates to processes that are both cheaper to run and do not result in damage to the graphene. Still further, the disclosed systems/methods do not require chemical modification of the graphene, again lowering the cost considerably and not damaging the graphene structure.

Abstract: An anti-osteoclastic composition containing a proteoglycan 4 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is administered to a human or animal suffering from a pathological bone condition such as osteoporosis in a sufficient amount to reduce, delay onset of or prevent excessive bone resorption in which the rate of bone resorption exceed the rate of bone formation. Excessive bone resorption is inhibited by preventing the formation or activity of osteoclasts. Osteoporosis is linked to bone fracture, a debilitation condition often resulting in the need for risky, invasive surgery, and the possible consequence of permanent immobilization, especially in elderly populations.

Abstract: Manganese-cobalt (Mn—Co) spinel oxide nanowire arrays are synthesized at low pressure and low temperature by a hydrothermal method. The method can include contacting a substrate with a solvent, such as water, that includes Mn04- and Co2 ions at a temperature from about 60° C. to about 120° C. The method preferably includes dissolving potassium permanganate (KMn04) in the solvent to yield the Mn04- ions. the substrate is The nanoarrays are useful for reducing a concentration of an impurity, such as a hydrocarbon, in a gas, such as an emission source. The resulting material with high surface area and high materials utilization efficiency can be directly used for environment and energy applications including emission control systems, air/water purifying systems and lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides advantageous sheet stabilized emulsion based inks, and improved methods for fabricating and using such inks. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved methods for fabricating conductive inks derived from water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by sheets exfoliated from layered materials (e.g., substantially pristine and non-oxidized graphite or hexagonal boron nitride), and related methods of use. A layered material (e.g., substantially pristine and non-oxidized graphite or hexagonal boron nitride) can be exfoliated into individual sheets, and these sheets can be utilized to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions. In certain embodiments, by utilizing long chain alkanes (e.g., hexadecane), one can advantageously fabricate emulsions with high viscosity and stability. In this form, the emulsions can be used as inks, thereby advantageously providing an inexpensive route to printing electrically conducting and/or insulating lines and shapes.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for determining oxygen toxicity in users is disclosed. Electrodermal activity (EDA) data from a sensor may be received. The EDA data may be indicative of one or more physiological signals derived from sweat gland activity of the user. Time-varying index values may be determined based on the EDA data. The time-varying index values may be compared to a threshold to determine if one or more of the values satisfies the threshold. Satisfying the threshold may indicate oxygen toxicity is occurring within the user. A notification may be caused to occur based on the time-varying index value satisfying the threshold. The notification may cause the user to take actions to reduce the potential for further oxygen toxicity.
