description: Using computer simulations, we demonstrate a new type of commensurability that occurs for vortices moving longitudinally through periodic pinning arrays in the presence of an additional transverse driving force. As a function of vortex density, there is a series of broad maxima in the transverse critical depinning force that do not fall at the matching fields where the number of vortices equals an integer multiple of the number of pinning sites. The commensurability effects are associated with dynamical states in which evenly spaced structures consisting of one or more moving rows of vortices form between rows of pinning sites. Remarkably, the critical transverse depinning force can be more than an order of magnitude larger than the longitudinal depinning force.

description: Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated disease. In Denmark, the budesonide orodispersible tablet (BOT) is recommended as a second-line treatment for proton pump inhibitor-refractory EoE patients. To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with BOT in adult EoE patients in a population-based setting in Denmark. This was a retrospective, registry-based, DanEoE cohort study of all 76 adult EoE patients treated with BOT and diagnosed between 2007 and 2021 in the North Denmark Region. After medical record revision, the EoE diagnosis was defined according to the AGREE consensus. Symptomatic response was based on the information found in the patients’ medical reports and histologic remission was defined as <15 eosinophils per high-power field (eos/hpf). Histologic remission was achieved in 89% of the patients treated with BOT who underwent histologic evaluation. Clinicohistologic remission was achieved in 71% of the patients who underwent both symptomatic and histologic evaluation. Despite histologic remission, 18% of patients still experienced symptoms. Non-responders were found in 7% of the patients. Complications were rare, with dilation of strictures performed in 7% and food bolus obstruction (FBO) occurring in 3%. Discontinuation of the treatment due to unacceptable side effects was observed in 11% of the treated patients. Treatment with BOT effectively induced histologic remission in most of the EoE patients. Despite achieving histologic remission, approximately 1/5 of the patients were still symptomatic. Complications were rare. In non-responders and those with unacceptable side effects, alternative treatment options such as biologic agents might be needed.

description: We analyze the generation of primordial magnetic fields during de Sitter inflation in a Lorentz-violating theory of Electrodynamics containing a Chern-Simons term which couples the photon to an external four-vector. We find that, for appropriate magnitude of the four-vector, the generated field is maximally helical and, through an inverse cascade caused by turbulence of primeval plasma, reaches at the time of protogalactic collapse an intensity and correlation length such as to directly explain galactic magnetism.

description: While dietary intervention was an important public health strategy for the prevention and intervention of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), the effect of diet-induced inflammation on MAFLD has not been studied in detail. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and MAFLD. This study included data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017–2018. MAFLD was diagnosed based on the presence of hepatic steatosis, as determined by transient elastography, along with evidence of either overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or metabolic dysfunction. DII was calculated using 27 dietary components collected through 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire. Weighted logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between DII and MAFLD and its main components in three different models. Subgroup analyses were performed by age, sex, and alcohol use. A total of 1991 participants were included, and the MAFLD group had higher DII scores. After adjusting for age, sex, race, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol use, the highest quartile of DII was associated with increased risk of MAFLD (OR:2.90, 95% CIs: 1.46, 5.75). Overweight/obesity, central obesity, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high C-reactive protein (CRP) also shared the same characteristics in the main components of MAFLD. Results were consistent across subgroups (age, sex, and alcohol use). A higher DII diet was positively associated with the risk of MAFLD in American adults, particularly as related to overweight/obesity, central obesity, high CRP level, and low HDL-C level.

description: Two thirds of today's world trade is based on global value chains and supply networks. Purely regional supply chains have become less important in recent decades. The effects of these globalised structures are manifold. On the one hand, they promote employment and generate prosperity. On the other hand, they are beset by extreme social, ecological and economic imbalances. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of existing supply chain systems. The lockdown continues to disrupt complex supply chains and many problems of existing production and consumption continue to worsen. COVID-19 is one example of the crises that can shake globally networked supply chains in the short term. Other crises, such as climate change, develop more insidiously and are less immediately recognisable. Different as they are, such crises have one thing in common: they highlight the vulnerability of global social and economic structures and illustrate the impact of global trade on the regions and people of the world. This is precisely where global sustainability strategy comes in - it aims to fundamentally reduce differences and inequalities in opportunities and quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the entire world into upheaval, creating an opportunity to make sustainability a central political resilience strategy. In the wake of the Corona pandemic, the discussion about resilient communities has flared up. In order to guarantee supply in the face of such crises, these should be more strongly regional and circular in their economic approach and global and sustainable in their perspective. The aim should be sustainable, transparent, non-exploitative supply chains that guarantee the security of supply to cover basic needs and public services despite sudden changes and crises. This discussion paper draws a future scenario of globally cooperative, circular regional economies that fundamentally reduce global inequalities in opportunities and quality of life, while at the same time permanently preserving the natural foundations of life.

description: It is well known that the classical diagram lemmas of homological algebra for abelian groups can be generalized to non-abelian group-like structures, such as groups, rings, algebras, loops, etc. In this paper we establish such a generalization of the "salamander lemma" due to G. M. Bergman, in a self-dual axiomatic context (developed originally by Z. Janelidze), which applies to all usual non-abelian group-like structures and also covers axiomatic contexts such as semi-abelian categories in the sense of G. Janelidze, L. Marki and W. Tholen and exact categories in the sense of M. Grandis.

description: We generalize the Bekenstein-Sandvik-Barrow-Magueijo (BSBM) model for the variation of the fine structure 'constant', $α,$ to include an exponential or inverse power-law self-potential for the scalar field $% ϕ$ which drives the time variation of $α$, and consider the dynamics of $ϕ$ in such models. We find solutions for the evolution of $ϕ$ or $α$ in matter-, radiation- and dark-energy-dominated cosmic eras. In general, the evolution of $ϕ$ is well determined solely by either the self-potential or the coupling to matter, depending on the model parameters. The results are general and applicable to other models where the evolution of a scalar field is governed by a matter coupling and a self-potential. We find that the existing astronomical data stringently constrains the possible evolution of $α$ between redshifts $z\simeq 1-3.5$ and the present, and this leads to very strong limit on the allowed deviation of the potential from that of a pure cosmological constant.

Potential use of 52FE porphyrins as tumor scanning agents
Creators: name: Thaller, Roy Alan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Radioiron labelled prophyrins were tested for tumor uptake using tissue culture and animal models. The following porphyrins were tested: hematohemin; protohemin; photo-protohemin; 2-formyl-4-vinyl, 2-vinyl-4 formyl, and 2,4-diformyl deuterohemin derivatives; meso-tetra (4 carbo-xyphenyl) hemin (TCP); tetra-Na-meso-tetra (4-sulfonato-phenyl) hemin (TPPS); and meso-tetra-(4-N-methylpyridyl) hemin tetraiodide (TMPI). ⁵²Fe was produced at TRIUMF by high energy proton spallation of a nickel target. The ⁵²Fe was separated from the other spallation products by solvent extraction with methyl isobutyl acetone and ion exchange chromatography when required. Tissue culture studies using P815 mouse tumor cells showed good uptake with protohemin, TCP, or TMPI. Mouse distribution and excretion studies indicated that the target organ for TMPI was the liver (and spleen) and its biological half-life was 270 days. Animal scans using rats with breast carcenomas with ⁵²Fe labelled protohemin, TCP and TMPI showed no tumor uptake at all. The radiation dose to a human was also calculated.

description: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common cause of emergency hospitalization and may require readmission for re-bleeding. A novel adhesive endoscopic hemostatic powder (UI-EWD/NexpowderTM, Nextbiomedical, Incheon, South Korea) has been developed and recently utilized for LGIB hemostasis. The aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy and safety of UI-EWD as a rescue therapy for the treatment of refractory LGIB. In this study, a total of 59 consecutive patients with LGIB who experienced initial hemostasis failure with conventional endoscopic therapy were enrolled into this multicenter single-arm study. These patients subsequently underwent UI-EWD application for the refractory LGIB hemostasis. We evaluated the success rate of hemostasis, re-bleeding rate within 30 d, and adverse events related to UI-EWD. UI-EWD was successfully administered to the bleeding sites in all enrolled refractory bleeding patients. Hemostasis was achieved in the entirety of the 59 patients (100%). The cumulative re-bleeding rate within 30 d was 8.5% (5/59). There were no UI-EWD-related adverse events, such as perforation nor embolism. Based on our results, the utilization of UI-EWD demonstrated a remarkable success rate in achieving hemostasis for refractory LGIB, while also exhibiting promising outcomes in reducing the re-bleeding rate within a 30-day period. Particularly, UI-EWD exhibits a favorable safety profile across all segments of the colon in cases of refractory LGIB.

description: Die Geistesströmung der Phänomenologie ist als philosophische Denkart stets auf den Dialog mit anderen Disziplinen ausgerichtet gewesen. Schon Edmund Husserls erste Arbeiten richteten sich auf Mathematik und Psychologie. Das vorliegende Heft von InterCultural Philosophy leistet einen Beitrag zu diesem Diskurs, indem seine Autorinnen und Autoren mit Disziplinen der Sozial- und Humanwissenschaften über Themen aus der aktuellen phänomenologischen Theorie, nämlich Emotionalität und Intersubjektivität, ins Gespräch kommen. Dass sich die resultierenden Vorschläge nicht immer reibungsfrei in die Weiterentwicklung der jeweiligen disziplinären Forschung integrieren lassen, ist gleichzeitig ein Problem und eine Herausforderung. So kann die Phänomenologie einen Beitrag zur Theoriebildung und zum Theorienpluralismus in den Wissenschaften leisten.

description: We have performed measurements of the IR absorption of $\text{SiO}_2$ nanoparticles confined in an argon radio-frequency plasma discharge using an FTIR spectrometer. By varying the gas pressure of the discharge and duty cycle of the applied radio-frequency voltage we observed a shift of the absorption peak of $\text{SiO}_2$. We attributed this shift to charge-dependent absorption features of $\text{SiO}_2$. The charge-dependent shift has been calculated for $\text{SiO}_2$ particles and from comparisons with the experiment the particle charge has been retrieved using our IRPRS (Infrared Phonon Resonance Shift) method. With the two different approaches of changing the gas pressure and altering the duty cycle we are able to deduce a relative change of the particle charge with pressure variations and an absolute estimate of the charge with the duty cycle.

Orbital circularisation of white dwarfs and the formation of gravitational radiation sources in star clusters containing an intermediate mass black hole

description: (abbreviated) We consider how tight binaries consisting of a super-massive black hole of mass $M=10^{3}-10^{4}M_{\odot}$ and a white dwarf can be formed in a globular cluster. We point out that a major fraction of white dwarfs tidally captured by the black hole may be destroyed by tidal inflation during ongoing circularisation, and the formation of tight binaries is inhibited. However, some stars may survive being spun up to high rotation rates. Then the energy loss through gravitational wave emission induced by tidally excited pulsation modes and dissipation through non linear effects may compete with the increase of pulsation energy due to dynamic tides. The semi-major axes of these stars can be decreased below a 'critical' value where dynamic tides are not effective because pulsation modes retain phase coherence between successive pericentre passages. The rate of formation of such circularising stars is estimated assuming that they can be modelled as $n=1.5$ polytropes and that results of the tidal theory for slow rotators can be extrapolated to fast rotators. We estimate the total capture rate as $\sim \dot N\sim 2.5\cdot 10^{-8}M_{4}^{1.3}r_{0.1}^{-2.1}yr^{-1}$, where $M_{4}=M/10^4M_{\odot}$ and $r_{0.1}$ is the radius of influence of the black hole in units $0.1pc$. We find that the formation rate of tight pairs is approximately 10 times smaller than the total capture rate. It is used to estimate the probability of detection of gravitational waves coming from such tight binaries by LISA. We conclude that LISA may detect such binaries provided that the fraction of globular clusters with black holes in the mass range of interest is substantial and that the dispersion velocity of the cluster stars near the radius of influence of the black hole exceeds $\sim 20km/s$.

description: Based on a microscopic system reservoir model,where the associated bath is not in thermal equilibrium, we simulate the nonstationary Langevin dynamics and obtained the generalized nonstationary fluctuation dissipation relation (FDR) which asymptotically reduces to the traditional form. Our Langevin dynamics incorporates non-Markovian process also, the origin of which lies on the decaying term of the nonstationary FDR. We then follow the stochastic dynamics of the Langevin particle based on the Fokker-Planck-Smoluchowski description, in ratchet potential to obtain the steady and time dependent current in an analytic form. We also examine the influence of initial excitation and subsequent relaxation of bath modes on the transport of the Langevin particle to show that the nonequilibrium nature of the bath leads to both strong non-exponential dynamics as well as nonstationary current.

description: Modifications of Special Relativity by the introduction of an invariant energy and/or momentum level (so-called Doubly Special Relativity theories, DSR) or by an energy-momentum dependence of the Planck constant (Generalized Uncertainty Principle, GUP) are compared with classical gravitational effects in an interaction processes. For the low energy limit of the usual formulations of DSR to be equivalent with Newtonian gravity, a restrictive condition is found. GUP yields an effective repulsion, in analogy to the gravitational repulsion in loop quantum cosmology.

description: Climate change (CC) actions need to happen at multiple scales, with coordination between horizontal and vertical levels of governance. Achieving national determined contributions signed as part of the Paris Agreement depends on the power of national and subnational governments to implement effective CC policies. Using a framework based on three power categories: power by design, pragmatic power, and framing power, we analyse how different types of power across multiple levels of government entities operate within various sectors in an emerging economy. Specifically, we analyse the multilevel governance in Mexico’s federal system. Our sample comprises six states (out of 32) and 18 municipalities and considers two mitigation sectors (transport and urban solid waste) and the adaptation domain. We find evidence of more robust climate policy at the state level delivered through power by design (policy instruments) and pragmatic power (to implement actions), but weak power performance at the municipal level. The sectoral analysis shows more consistent adaptation policies than mitigation policies. The power imbalances across the three categories are relevant because the quantity and coherence of designed policy instruments and actions can be contrasted with the capacity to implement actions, which depends on the availability of resources and political will.

description: By using the gauge-invariant kinetic equation approach [Yang and Wu, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 98}, 094507 (2018); {\bf 100}, 104513 (2019)], we construct the coupled dual dynamics of macroscopic phase coherence and microscopic electronic fluids in cuprate superconductors. We prove that the developed dual dynamics provides an efficient and simplified approach to formulate the dephasing process of macroscopic superconducting phase coherence, as well as its influence on microscopic electronic fluids (including gap, densities of superfluid and normal fluid, and in particular, the transport property to determine superconducting transition temperature $T_c$). We then present theoretical description of the preformed Cooper pairs in pseudogap state. The key origin of pseudogap state comes from the quantum effect of disorder, which excites the macroscopic inhomogeneous phase fluctuation through Josephson effect. Influenced by this phase fluctuation, there exist normal fluid and viscous superfluid below $T_c$ in cuprate superconductors, in addition to conventional non-viscous superfluid. The normal fluid always emerges around nodal points even at zero temperature, whereas the viscous superfluid emerges due to the friction between superfluid and normal fluid. Particularly, the non-viscous superfluid gets suppressed when the phase fluctuation is enhanced by increasing temperature, until vanishes at $T_c$. Then, the system enters the pseudogap state, showing the nonzero resistivity as well as the finite gap from the viscous superfluid. By further increasing temperature to $T^{\rm os}$, the viscous superfluid and hence gap vanish. An experimental scheme to distinguish the densities of normal fluid as well as viscous and non-viscous superfluids is proposed. Finally, this theory is also applied to low-dimensional disordered $s$-wave superconductors.

description: We report the measurement of Lamda and Anti-Lamda yields and inverse slope parameters in d + Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV at forward and backward rapidities (y = +- 2.75), using data from the STAR forward time projection chambers. The contributions of different processes to baryon transport and particle production are probed exploiting the inherent asymmetry of the d + Au system. Comparisons to model calculations show that the baryon transport on the deuteron side is consistent with multiple collisions of the deuteron nucleons with gold participants. On the gold side HIJING based models do not describe the measured particle yields while models with initial state nuclear effects and/or hadronic rescattering do. The multichain model can provide a good description of the net baryon density in d + Au collisions at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the derived parameters of the model agree with those from nuclear collisions at lower energies.

description: We describe a procedure for mapping a self-consistent mean-field theory (also known as density functional theory) into a shell model Hamiltonian that includes quadrupole-quadrupole and monopole pairing interactions in a truncated space. We test our method in the deformed N=Z sd-shell nuclei Ne-20, Mg-24 and Ar-36, starting from the Hartree-Fock plus BCS approximation of the USD shell model interaction. A similar procedure is then followed using the SLy4 Skyrme energy density functional in the particle-hole channel plus a zero-range density-dependent force in the pairing channel. Using the ground-state solution of this density functional theory at the Hartree-Fock plus BCS level, an effective shell model Hamiltonian is constructed. We use this mapped Hamiltonian to extract quadrupolar and pairing correlation energies beyond the mean field approximation. The rescaling of the mass quadrupole operator in the truncated shell model space is found to be almost independent of the coupling strength used in the pairing channel of the underlying mean-field theory.

description: Since the 2008 financial crisis, international investments in farmland have attracted considerable academic attention, yet surprisingly little is still known about their subnational determinants. To uncover why foreign land deals are situated in a particular territory, I incorporate this empirical puzzle with arguments about African state dynamics in processes of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs). This article argues that African authorities use LSLAs as strategies of extraversion: ruling elites sell or lease large parcels of land in areas with weak state infrastructural capacity. By doing so, they assert their formal authority by granting formal land titles, while concurrently outsourcing their responsibility for public good provision to foreign investors. I empirically test my argument using recently improved satellite imagery and the subnational locations of 468 land deals in Sub-Saharan Africa between 2008 and 2018. Innovative spatio-temporal models are estimated, allowing for insightful contributions to current research on farmland investments, African statehood and research methods. Results confirm my theoretical expectations: night-time light emission, as a measure of subnational infrastructural capacity, is negatively associated with new LSLAs. In other words, LSLAs are located in areas with poor infrastructural capacity, so that African states can benefit from them to maintain themselves.

description: We present 2D MHD numerical simulations of tearing-unstable current sheets coupled to a population of non-thermal test-particles, in order to address the problem of numerical convergence with respect to grid resolution, numerical method and physical resistivity. Numerical simulations are performed with the PLUTO code for astrophysical fluid dynamics through different combinations of Riemann solvers, reconstruction methods, grid resolutions at various Lundquist numbers. The constrained transport method is employed to control the divergence-free condition of magnetic field. Our results indicate that the reconnection rate of the background tearing-unstable plasma converges only for finite values of the Lundquist number and for sufficiently large grid resolutions. In general, it is found that (for a 2nd-order scheme) the minimum threshold for numerical convergence during the linear phases requires the number of computational zones covering the initial current sheet width to scale roughly as $\sim \sqrt{\bar{S}}$, where $\bar{S}$ is the Lundquist number defined on the current sheet width. On the other hand, the process of particle acceleration is found to be nearly independent of the underlying numerical details inasmuch as the system becomes tearing-unstable and enters in its nonlinear stages. In the limit of large $\bar{S}$, the ensuing power-law index quickly converge to $p \approx 1.7$, consistently with the fast reconnection regime.

description: We develop a general formalism for the construction, in $D$-dimensional Minkowski space, of gauge theories for which the gauge group is the infinite-dimensional group SDiff$_n$ of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of some closed $n$-dimensional manifold. We then focus on the D=3 SDiff$_3$ superconformal gauge theory describing a condensate of M2-branes; in particular, we derive its ${\cal N}=8$ superfield equations from a pure-spinor superspace action, and we describe its relationship to the D=3 SDiff$_2$ super-Yang-Mills theory describing a condensate of D2-branes.

description: Poverty reduction and the tackling of social exclusion are overarching goals of development and welfare policies. This paper explores the extent to which decentralization contributes to poverty and social exclusion alleviation in European countries and regions. We find evidence that increases in central government transfers of political, administrative and fiscal authority to subnational tiers of government reduce poverty and address social exclusion at the national level. This, however, mainly happens in countries with a high degree of governance quality and, fundamentally, in urban areas. The link between decentralization and poverty and social exclusion alleviation is more uniform at the regional level, as greater regional autonomy is connected to lower poverty and social exclusion, regardless of the quality of regional government. Hence, when regional governments have the capacity to design their own independent policies, a reduction of poverty and social exclusion and improvements in well-being generally ensue.

description: Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) of sufficiently large diameter and a few layers self-collapse into flat ribbons at atmospheric pressure, forming bundles of stacked CNTs that maximize packing and thus CNT interaction. Their improved stress transfer by shear makes collapsed CNTs ideal building blocks in macroscopic fibers of CNTs with high-performance longitudinal properties, particularly high tensile properties as reinforcing fibres. This work introduces cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy of FIB-milled samples as a way to univocally identify collapsed CNTs and to determine the full population of different CNTs in macroscopic fibers produced by spinning from floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition. We show that close proximity in bundles is a major driver for collapse and that CNT stoutness (number of layers/diameter), which dominates the collapse onset, is controlled by the growth promotor. Despite differences in decomposition route, different C precursors lead to similar distributions of the ratio layers/diameter. The synthesis conditions in this study give a maximum fraction of collapsed CNTs of 70$\%$ when using selenium as promotor, corresponding to an average of $0.25 layer/nm$.
Making sense of normality : an interpretive perspective on ’normal’ and ’disturbed’ family
Creators: name: Anderson, Joan Madge
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study reports an investigation into the concept of normality as a parameter of family functioning, from the point of view of interpretive sociology. Theories which seek to explain 'deviant' or 'disturbed' behavior as the product of defective communication patterns within families are analyzed for their explicit or implicit characterizations of 'normal' family life and communicative structure. In particular, attention is paid to the following question: to what extent do formal theories of normal and disturbed behavior instruct the researcher on the reliable identification of significant communication practices? In order to answer this question ethnographic data were collected on sixteen families identified as normal. Interactions between parents and children conducting everyday activities were observed and recorded. The data are used to show that in order to satisfy the requirements of theories of family functioning, extensive interpretation of interaction is required, for which such theories give no explicit guidance. Insofar as these theories form the basis of clinical practice, it is argued, such practice must be seen to rest upon tacit decisions concerning the nature of 'normal' and 'disturbed' behavior, in the context of everyday practical reasoning. Definitions of normality and disturbance, which underly successful practice, are thus shown to be interpretively constructed in ways which current theories do not give an adequate account of.
Gauging U(1) symmetries and the number of right-handed neutrinos

description: In this letter we consider that assuming: a) that the only left-handed neutral fermions are the active neutrinos, b) that $B-L$ is a gauge symmetry, and c) that the $L$ assignment is restricted to the integer numbers, the anomaly cancellation imply that at least three right-handed neutrinos must be added to the minimal representation content of the electroweak standard model. However, two types of models arise: i) the usual one where each of the three identical right-handed neutrinos has total lepton number L=1; ii) and the other one in which two of them carry L=4 while the third one carries $L=-5$.

description: Electrochemical water splitting is an environmentally friendly technology to store renewable energy in the form of chemical fuels. Among the earth-abundant first-row transition metal-based catalysts, mixed Ni-Fe oxides have shown promising performance for effective and low-cost catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, but the synergistic roles of Fe and Ni cations in the OER mechanism remain unclear. In this work, we report how addition of Ni changes the reactivity of a model iron oxide catalyst, based on Ni deposited on and incorporated in a magnetite Fe3O4 (001) single crystal, using a combination of surface science techniques in ultra-high-vacuum such as low energy electron diffraction (LEED), x-rays photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low energy ion scattering (LEIS), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM) in air, and electrochemical methods such cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in alkaline media. A significant improvement in the OER activity is observed when the top surface presents an Fe:Ni composition ratio in the range 20-40%, which is in good agreement with what has been observed for powder catalysts. Furthermore, a decrease in the OER overpotential is observed following surface aging in electrolyte for three days. At higher Ni load, AFM shows the growth of a new phase attributed to an (oxy)-hydroxide phase which, according to CV measurements, does not seem to correlate with the surface activity towards OER. EIS suggests that the OER precursor species observed on the clean and Ni-modified surfaces are similar and Fe-centered, but form at lower overpotentials when the surface Fe:Ni ratio is optimized.
