We found that increasing MOUD availability at the facility level was associated with increased MOUD use in non-intensive and residential facilities at the patient level. Specifically, a 10 percentage point increase in MOUD availability was associated with a 4.5 percentage point increase in MOUD use among patients of non-intensive outpatient facilities (p-value=0.03), and a 2.5 percentage points increase in residential facilities (p-value=0.02). Non-Whites and patients in the Northeast had greater likelihoods of increased MOUD use in response to increased availability by facilities.

Increasing MOUD availability among specialty treatment facilities is likely to promote better access to MOUD for patients seeking treatment for OUD.

The environment, in which the shale forms, is considered to be the fundamental cause of shale pore formation and deformation. However, the traditional method of observing shale samples using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) can be interfered by a large number of fractures caused by artificial damage on the shale surface during sample preparation, such as mechanical damage during polishing and shrinkage damage of shale mineral particles. To tackle this issue, we summarized the features of natural fractures by comparing fracture morphology of shale before and after artificial damage. In this study, the powder samples which suffered serious structural damage and the block samples with light structural damage were observed by FE-SEM. Rapamycin In addition, we used the pressure switch to cause slight damage to the surface of gold-plated block samples, and the difference between the gold film tearing edge and the mineral tearing edge was used to identify the artificial cracks generated during this process. We found (1) most of the open structural fractures on the shale surface are not natural, but artificially induced during the sample preparation process; (2) most non-structural natural fractures are mainly related to organic matter, clay and calcite; (3) stress and shrinkage are the main causes of natural microfractures; (4) natural microfractures in shale have a clear pressure support structure, which are categorized into self-supporting fractures.Strain maps extracted from atomic resolution images have the ultimate spatial resolution, but have a field of view limited by the sampling necessary to resolve atomic lattices. This has typically confined strain maps to dimensions less than ∼100 nanometers. To extend the field of view beyond this limit, we apply a modified geometric phase analysis to undersampled images of atomic lattices (i.e. with a pixel size too large to resolve atomic lattices). To reduce the effects of environmental and instrumental instabilities, the images were obtained by aligning series of rapid annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy acquisitions. We demonstrate that for undersampled images, a geometric phase analysis can still be performed on aliased frequencies and, as long as the appropriate scaling matrix is applied, provide accurate atomic displacement measurements at large scale. Experimental challenges related to the increased effects of scanning errors as the magnification is lowered are examined. Although such errors are found to significantly reduce geometric phase signals, it was still possible to produce strain maps for arrays of up to sixteen 20nm-technology transistors, corresponding to a field of view exceeding one micrometer.Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and executive functioning (EF) deficits are each characteristic of many forms of youth psychopathology. Extensive work has examined the relationship between rumination, a form of RNT, and EF in adults. However, less is known about the relationship between RNT more broadly and EF in youth, for whom these constructs are developing and emerging. Here, we systematically and qualitatively reviewed 27 studies on the associations between EF (e.g., shifting, inhibition, working memory) and RNT (e.g., rumination, worry, obsessions) in youth. All forms of RNT were more commonly positively associated with questionnaire-reported EF problems in daily life, most frequently in the domain of shifting. Task-based assessments of EF were less consistently associated with RNT in youth, with no strong pattern of presence vs. absence of associations. Further, limited longitudinal work has been conducted on this topic to date. This review integrates initial work with regard to RNT and EF deficits in a still-developing population, and discusses clear future need for longitudinal, multi-method assessments of the relationship between RNT and EF subtypes in youth.The emergence and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in various aquatic environments have recently raised significant concerns. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as one of the major sources of MPs discharge to the environment, implying a substantial need to improve advanced techniques for more efficient removal of MPs. Polymeric membranes have been proven effective in MPs removal. However, fouling is the main drawback of membrane processes and MPs can foul the membranes due to their small size and specific surface properties. Hence, it is important to investigate the impacts of MPs on membrane fouling to develop efficient membrane-based techniques for MPs removal. Although membrane technologies have a high potential for MPs removal, the interaction of MPs with membranes and their fouling effects have not been critically reviewed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a state-of-the-art review of MPs interaction with membranes and facilitate a better understanding of the relevant limitations and prospects of the membrane technologies. The first section of this paper is dedicated to a review of recent studies on MPs occurrence in WWTPs aiming to determine the most frequent MPs. This is followed by a summary of recent studies on MPs removal using membranes and discussions on the impact of MPs on membrane fouling and other probable issues (abrasion, concentration polarisation, biofouling, etc.). Finally, some recommendations for further research in this area are highlighted. This study serves as a valuable reference for future research on the development of anti-fouling membranes considering these new emerging contaminates.
