Electrochemically Induced Deposition (ECiD): A Versatile Method that Greatly Extends the Portfolio of Surface Coatings and Materials Fabricated by Electrochemical Deposition

Electrochemically induced deposition or ECiD can be defined as the deposition of compound films on a surface, as the result of chemical reactions in the near surface region between a precursor present in the bulk solution and an electrochemically generated precursor, mediator, or catalyst near that surface. The ECiD process has evolved from an odd curiosity into a thriving new branch in electrodeposition science. The library of materials synthesized by ECiD has been greatly expanded, along with the number of precipitation triggering knobs or tricks. Together with the breadth of possibilities and applications, the science behind the process has also accelerated. This article introduces the principle of the ECiD process for the electrodeposition of oxides, hydroxides, and compounds such as metal phosphates and metal-organic frameworks. The article discusses the mechanisms of these electrochemically induced deposition reactions as well as the pro-bases used to trigger the deposition.

Neurosurgical Study Design: Looking Toward the Future

Medical research is increasing in complexity with every year. The breadth of possibilities is expanding with every new methodologic and statistical innovation. Because of the pace at which this process evolves, it can feel impossible to keep up with developments. Neurosurgery has had a slow start in terms of clinical research and innovations, relying on small, single-center studies and underpowered randomized controlled trials. Lately, owing to serious improvements made to study design quality, the neurosurgical evidence base is growing. The special section on neurosurgical study design highlights the most important methodologic concepts to date and illustrates the most important methodologic advancements, which will shape the future of neurosurgical study design.

Contributions of Social Domain Theory for the Study of Exclusion: a Systematic Literature Review

Considering the negative impact that exclusion can have on individuals and society, psychology has invested in research in the area, from different theoretical perspectives. In the breadth of possibilities surrounding this area of knowledge, this article aimed to characterize the contributions of social domain theory (SDT) for the study of exclusion, through a systematic literature review based on the questions: what contributions to exclusion studies have been made by SDT and what methods are being used by researchers in this area for data collection and analysis? To respond, we searched for scientific articles on virtual platforms (SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, and Capes Periodicals) and retrieved 19 articles after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the theory’s main contributions for the study were diversity of themes found, although sexism and racism were the main types of prejudice researched as motivations for exclusions; judgments about situations of exclusion were associated with differences due to sociodemographic variables, the characteristics of the exclusion, and the context; studies on the role of emotions in judgments were also identified. Regarding the method used by the SDT studies on exclusion, there was a prevalence of cross-sectional and quantitative studies conducted with children and adolescents of the USA. This review showed that, despite SDT being recent and the inexistence of national articles following the adopted criteria, SDT has invested in studies that seek to comprehend which individual and contextual factors influence the acceptance or rejection of a prejudiced attitude of exclusion.

A Commentary on the JST of 1 Corinthians

Over the decades in youth Sunday School classes, Seminary and Institute courses, adult Gospel Doctrine classes, BYU Religious Education courses, and in other venues, I have heard many hundreds of students make a comment in class based on Joseph Smith’s revision of the Bible, officially known in the Church as the “Joseph Smith Translation” (hereafter “JST”). And so far as I can recall, in 100% of those instances the person making the comment simply assumed that the JST emendation of the biblical text represented—in English—the original text of the passage. Such a simplistic understanding is perhaps understandable, as we never devote a lesson specifically to explaining the JST and what it represents, and so students are left to their own devices in trying to understand its significance. Actual scholars of LDS scripture do not make this simplistic assumption, but somehow we have failed to communicate to our students the breadth of possibilities inherent in any particular JST emendation. In this paper I propose to attempt a remedy to this situation, first by proposing a paradigm of 14 different categories into which JST emendations may fall, and second by illustrating the application of that paradigm based on a review of every single JST emendation in a book of scripture. The book I have selected for this purpose is 1 Corinthians. By my count, 63 verses of 1 Corinthians are emended by the JST. The 16 chapters of that book contain a total of 437 verses, and so the JST modifies about 14.4% of the verses in the text. By analyzing every JST emendation in the book, we can gain a better sense for the types of things going on in the JST project.

The Information Revolution Meets Health: The Transformative Power and Implementation Challenges of Health Analytics

Harnessing millions of data points to gain new insights is the central promise of data analytics. In health analytics, outlines of its potential are only beginning to take shape. The breadth of possibilities spans from supporting evidence-based medicine, maximizing research potential, and improving patient information, to linking data already collected, managing population health, engaging patients as health partners, and introducing valuable efficiencies. Several companies and health systems are already exploiting the power of health information, and more innovation is on the horizon. Nonetheless, obstacles remain to make the crucial leap from a system with a reputation of resisting information technology to a system that masters it to realize better care, improved population health, and reduced costs.A January 15th 2015 roundtable discussion organized by the Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology and Entrepreneurship explored the potential of health analytics for both health care and population health generally. Capturing the discussion of a diverse group of physicians, lawyers, academics, and entrepreneurs, this paper discusses both the promise of health analytics and the barriers to its effective implementation.

The Market Revolution Ate My Homework

The idea of a nineteenth-century market is now all the rage. Historians have acknowledged a post-1815 transportation revolution ever since George Rogers Taylor coined the term in 1951. But as Melvyn Stokes points out in his astute introduction to The Market Revolution in America, and as the book's subtitle reveals, the current concept goes much further. Built on the merger of two fashionable notions, the social transition to capitalism and the political change from republicanism to liberalism, the market has quickly grown to take in economics, law and politics, class relations, gender roles, slavery, religion, ideology-in short, just about everything. In Charles Sellers's epic synthesis, The Market Revolution: Jacksonian America, 1815-1846 (1991), the market bestrides the narrative as an omnipresent It, both a pervasive (and insidious) process and the crux of political, cultural, social, and religious controversy. Other works put Market Revolution in capitals and stretch its dates to bring an entire century's history under its sway. In 1994 some leading historians gathered in England to discuss this new concept. Their essays, revised and expanded in The Market Revolution in America, reveal its breadth of possibilities while also exposing some weaknesses. Christopher Clark's chapter on the North and Harry L. Watson's on the South, Amy Dru Stanley's on gender, and Eric Foner's and John Ashworth's on free labor ideology probe the market revolution's ramifications and consequences.' Donald J. Ratcliffe, Richard E. Ellis, and Michael F. Holt apply the market-revolution idea to politics. Daniel Walker Howe and Richard Carwardine question its application to religion, and Sean Wilentz (writing on
