TL;DR: The sonochemical technique appears to be a suitable method for producing organic NPs of soluble compounds, without loss of their intrinsic properties, i.e. the antimicrobial activity of chitosan.
Abstract: Nanostructured chitosan (CS) and a chitosan–Zn based (Zn–CS) complex have been synthesized and simultaneously deposited on cotton fabrics using ultrasound. SEM measurements revealed that the coating consists of nanoparticles (NPs) of ca. 40 nm in diameter, homogeneously dispersed along the yarns. XANES studies pointed out that the complex consisted of a less than 2.1 nm ZnO core to which the chitosan was bonded. Additionally, FTIR measurements indicated the in situ formation of a Zn–CS complex which is the only deposited material on the cotton surface. The antibacterial properties of the CS and Zn–CS coated textiles were tested against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria species. More than two-fold increase of the antibacterial activity of Zn–CS NP coated textiles was detected as compared to the fabrics treated with the sonochemically synthesized CS NPs alone. The sonochemical technique appears to be a suitable method for producing organic NPs of soluble compounds, without loss of their intrinsic properties, i.e. the antimicrobial activity of chitosan. Moreover, hybrid nanoorganometallic particles were simultaneously synthesized and deposited on cotton sonochemically.

TL;DR: The Psychological Science Accelerator is a distributed network of laboratories designed to enable and support crowdsourced research projects that will advance understanding of mental processes and behaviors by enabling rigorous research and systematic examination of its generalizability.
Abstract: Concerns about the veracity of psychological research have been growing. Many findings in psychological science are based on studies with insufficient statistical power and nonrepresentative samples, or may otherwise be limited to specific, ungeneralizable settings or populations. Crowdsourced research, a type of large-scale collaboration in which one or more research projects are conducted across multiple lab sites, offers a pragmatic solution to these and other current methodological challenges. The Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA) is a distributed network of laboratories designed to enable and support crowdsourced research projects. These projects can focus on novel research questions or replicate prior research in large, diverse samples. The PSA’s mission is to accelerate the accumulation of reliable and generalizable evidence in psychological science. Here, we describe the background, structure, principles, procedures, benefits, and challenges of the PSA. In contrast to other crowdsourced research networks, the PSA is ongoing (as opposed to time limited), efficient (in that structures and principles are reused for different projects), decentralized, diverse (in both subjects and researchers), and inclusive (of proposals, contributions, and other relevant input from anyone inside or outside the network). The PSA and other approaches to crowdsourced psychological science will advance understanding of mental processes and behaviors by enabling rigorous research and systematic examination of its generalizability.
