Controlled and optimized heterogenic interfacial coupling is the key to enhance the electrochemical performance. Herein, for the first time, telluride-based CoS/CoTe heterostructure is reported as a bifunctional catalyst for energy-efficient H generation. Detailed investigations suggest that the heterogenic interfacial coupling leads to superior bifunctional electrochemical performance of the CoS/CoTe heterostructure.

Ulva lactuca is a versatile intertidal and blooming green macroalga with a global distribution, undergoing a lifecycle that consists of critical phases. The effects of surface physical properties and elevated nitrate concentrations on the growth of Ulva spores were evaluated using ATR-FTIR analysis, water contact angle measurements and fluorescence microscopy. The weathering process conducted with seawater led to the emergence of new functional groups such as CO, CH (rock), and CH, alongside a reduction in existing groups on the polymers, as evidenced by ATR-FTIR.

Background: To assess the psychometric properties of the Quality of Life in Children with Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (QUICK) questionnaire among Indian children with Vernal Keratoconjuntivitis (VKC) using Rasch analysis.
Methods: This study used a questionnaire validation study design.
Introduction: Qualitative data provides deep insights into an individual's behaviors and beliefs, and the contextual factors that may shape these. Big qualitative data analysis is an emerging field that aims to identify trends and patterns in large qualitative datasets. The purpose of this review was to identify the methods used to analyse large bodies of qualitative data, their cited strengths and limitations and comparisons between manual and digital analysis approaches.

Missed visits contribute to gaps across the hypertension care continuum and preventable cardiovascular disease. Widespread misconceptions around hypertension care and treatment may contribute to low follow-up attendance rates, but to date, there is limited evidence of the effect of interventions to debunk such misconceptions on health-seeking behavior.
