    Accurate interdiffusion coefficients of composition and temperature dependence are significantly important for understanding different materials processes. However, the high-throughput determination of high-quality interdiffusion coefficients, especially in multicomponent systems, has been sustaining as a challenge in materials community. This review dealt with a comprehensive summarization of the recent progress in this field, aiming at advancing a scientific routine for realizing the high-throughput determination of high-quality interdiffusion coefficients in metallic solids. First, an introduction of traditional Matano-based approaches and their recent development was given. Second, the numerical inverse methods were described, with a focus on the recently developed pragmatic numerical inverse method and related public toolkits. Potential strategies for resolving the problems about accuracy and uniqueness of the solutions to the numerical inverse methods were highlighted. The combination of numerical inverse method and diffusion multiple technique was highly proposed for high-throughput determination of interdiffusion coefficients in metallic solids with any number of components. check details After that, the case studies on the high-throughput determination of interdiffusivity matrices in the real Ni-based, high-entropy/high-entropy superalloys were demonstrated. Discussion on the substitution of Re in Ni-based single-crystal superalloys and the sluggish diffusion in high-entropy/high-entropy superalloys was also carried out. Fourth, the general idea for the uncertainty quantification was proposed in order to obtain high-quality interdiffusion coefficients, followed by the introduction of recent progress on the uncertainty quantification in both Matano-based methods and numerical inverse methods. Finally, the conclusions were drawn, and the future trends in diffusion community were also pointed out.The objective of this study was to develop antifungal fragrant brown rice using the vapour phase of Michelia alba oil and to understand the effects of fragrant brown rice on consumer reactions using an electroencephalography (EEG) technique. The effect of M. alba oil vapour (300-900 µL/L) on the growth of moulds was studied in brown rice. Then, optimisation of the M. alba oil vapour (300-900 µL/L) was studied through sensory evaluation. Next, EEG was used to investigate the effect of fragrant cooked brown rice on human brain activity. In addition, the key components of M. alba oil on the sensory effects were determined. The results indicated that M. alba oil vapour ≥ 450 µL/L provided effective antifungal activity against natural moulds on brown rice for at least 90 days of storage at 25 °C at 100% RH. Furthermore, the optimal concentration of M. alba oil vapour for enhancing consumer preference and acceptance of cooked brown rice was 300-600 µL/L with a rejection threshold of 2,052 µL/L. Moreover, it was found that linalool was the main key component and caryophyllene and β-elemene were the minor components affecting the sensory quality enhancement. Interestingly, the EEG results showed that fragrant cooked brown rice could increase the power of alpha and beta waves in the human brain, indicating anti-stress effects and a relaxed mood. Therefore, M. alba oil vapour demonstrated good potential to enhance consumer acceptance and preference for cooked brown rice while controlling the significant growth of moulds in brown rice.Essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic face heightened levels of anxiety and depression due to increased work demands, lack of adequate personal protective equipment, fear of contracting the virus, and fear of spreading it to loved ones. This is a time of urgent need for mental health support for workers affected by the pandemic crisis. Clinicians may employ empirically supported interventions derived from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and related therapies. Psychological First Aid, an evidence-based crisis intervention, may be utilized to emphasize basic needs and support, but is intended as an acute disaster intervention. Given that a pandemic is an ongoing and prolonged stressor, additional CBT-informed interventions are likely needed to fully support essential workers during these times. It is recommended that clinicians help essential worker clients meet their basic needs by modifying health and sleep habits where possible and helping them advocate for their needs using interpersonal effectiveness skills. Empathic listening, validation of the crisis at hand, and values clarification can aid the therapeutic relationship, help them feel a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in their careers and with their families, and facilitate behavior change consistent with chosen values. Self-monitoring through a daily diary can help clients focus their thoughts and recognize maladaptive patterns in their thoughts and behaviors. In tandem with these techniques, behavioral activation and coping strategies including relaxation, distress tolerance, and acceptance promote engaging in positive and adaptive activities. Finally, therapists can help clients reduce anxiety related to the pandemic by helping them limit information intake.The coronavirus pandemic and the move to teletherapy has created uncertainty among both clinicians and patients. As therapists who work with children, we have heard from parents who are desperate for support and advice about how to respond to their children’s behavioral changes, as well as those who feel too overwhelmed to continue their children’s sessions at the moment and want to take a break from treatment. We have had to rethink the frame in concrete ways, reimagine how to play, and renegotiate parameters around confidentiality. At a time when fear and uncertainty make mentalizing difficult, the hallmarks of a mentalizing approach-curiosity and flexibility-are most critical. This paper will describe how the Mentalization-Based Treatment for Children (MBT-C) model offers a framework for an integrative approach that can inform treatment via teletherapy, so that clinicians can continue supporting young people and their families through this period. We will begin by describing how the mentalizing stance, particularly an awareness of our own mentalizing capacities in the moment, has become more important than ever.
