Using individual-level data of antidepressant prescriptions filled and the local bias phenomenon of investors in the United States, we study the effects of stock declines on the psychological health of investors and find that a one standard deviation decrease in local stock returns increases...

Pitch-based soft carbons, with tunable microstructure and low cost, hold great potential as anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the sluggish storage kinetics and unsatisfying cycle life hinder their practical applications. In addition, low softening point pitch has been seldom...

The effects of powder feedstocks prepared by different methods on the processibility of the powders and the performance of final components have largely been unexplored in metal additive manufacturing (MAM). In this paper, we conducted a comparative study on the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)...

ELISA technology has received great attention in in vitro diagnosis due to its high specificity, low cost and high throughput. However, the traditional ELISA technology is tedious, lack of multiple detection capabilities, and is not easy to implement in point-of-care (POC) settings. The...

Efficient preconcentration strategy is of vital importance for the sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of metal ions; rapid specific enrichment with the depressed absorption of interfering ions at electrode, however, is challenging. Here, we proposed an electric field-induced...

Developing synergistic systems and taking environmental risks into account are two necessary aspects of being considered to remove persistent organic pollutants efficiently. Thus, a combined catalytic system uniting the Fenton-like process and simulated solar-light photocatalysis has been...

In the present work, the impact of purge time on the performance of TFTs was systematically investigated because both ZnO channel layers and Al 2 O 3 insulators were deposited using deionized water (H 2 O) as oxidant at low temperature. Compared with the Al 2 O 3 thin films (short purge time),...

This paper studies the persistent effects of China’s Great Wall, built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), on contemporary regional ethnic diversity and economic development. Using rich township-level and individual-level data combined with spatial regression discontinuity strategy, we find that...

We construct a corporate workplace equality measure based on textual analysis of equal employment opportunity statements in online job postings of US listed companies. We verify this measure by demonstrating its predictive power of future employment discrimination lawsuits and identifying the...
