    摘要: A variety of particles forming microencapsulated thermochromic materials. The particles can include a thermochromic core and a metal oxide shell encapsulating the thermochromic core. The thermochromic core can include one or both of an organic thermochromic material and an inorganic salt thermochromic material. In some aspects, the particles include a dye selected from a crystal violet lactone dye, a fluoran dye, and a combination thereof. In still further aspects, the particles include a color developer selected from a hydroxybenzoate, a 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl propane, a hydroxycoumarin derivative, a lauryl gallate, and a combination thereof. In some aspects, the metal oxide shell is a TiO2 shell. The particles can be used in cements and paints and for a variety of building materials. Methods of making the particles and building materials and methods of use, for example, for removing a volatile organic carbon from a building material, are also provided.

    摘要: Disclosed is an intuitive robotic device control reference frame with hybrid inverse kinematics having a natural and easier human-robot interface. A system for controlling a robot can include a robotic device that performs tasks, an input device that receives user input indicating desired movement of the robotic device to perform the tasks, and a controller that controls the robotic device based on the user input. The controller can receive signals identifying the user input, determine a ground reference frame and an end-effector reference frame for controlling movement of the robotic device, generate, based on the ground reference frame and the end-effector reference frame, an intuitive reference frame for controlling movement of the robotic device, determine controls to move the robotic device in the intuitive reference frame, generate instructions for controlling movement of the robotic device, and execute the instructions to control movement of the robotic device.

    摘要: Described herein are corrole-based frameworks and methods for making the same. The corrole-based frameworks have unique structural and physical properties, which lends them to be versatile in a number of different applications and uses such as in gas storage/separation, proton conduction, biomedicine, sensing, and catalysis. In one aspect, the corrole-based frameworks are organic frameworks. In other aspects, the corrole-based frameworks are metal-organic frameworks.

    摘要: Alzheimer's disease is treated using THC (alone, or in combination with melatonin) administered in an ultra-low dose amount sufficient to (i) reduce Aβ protein levels; (ii) reduce Aβ aggregation: (iii) maintain AβPP protein levels; (iv) enhance mitochondrial functioning; (v) decrease phosphorylation of GSK-3β protein; (vi) decrease GSK-3β protein levels; (vii) decrease phosphorylation of Tau protein; and/or (viii) maintain Tau protein levels, in said patient without severe psychological impairments and side effects associated with higher doses of THC.
