The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) plays a critical role in somatosensation as well as in action performance and social cognition. Although the SI has been a major target of experimental and clinical research using non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to date information on the effect of TMS over the SI on its resting-state functional connectivity is very scant. Here, we exp...

Decision-making involves a complex interplay of emotional responses and reasoning processes. In this study, we use TMS to explore the neurobiological substrates of moral decisions in humans. To examining the effects of TMS on the outcome of a moral-decision, we compare the decision outcome of moral-personal and moral-impersonal dilemmas to each other and examine the differential effects of appl...

With respect to the limitations of fossil energy resources, different types of electric vehicles (EVs) are developed as suitable alternatives. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells play an extremely important role in EVs due to their unique features. But they need a thermal management system (TMS) to maintain their surface temperature uniformity and avoid them from thermal runaways. In the current...

Widespread commercialization of high-energy-density lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries is difficult due to the lithium polysulfide, Li2Sn (n = 4, 6, 8), shuttle effect. Efficient adsorption/conversion species on an electrocatalytic surface can suppress Modeling adsorption using density functional theory (DFT) calculations has contributed significantly toward understanding their anchoring mechanism...

It is generally believed that the hydrochloric acid solution secreted by the oxyntic cells is isotonic with the blood, and that the reduction of the acidity observed in the gastric juice is due to subsequent dilution and neutralization by other secretions (see Babkin, 1944). Teorell (1933), using anaesthetized or decerebrate cats whose stomachs were tied at both ends, observed a rapid decrease ...
