Coverage- and Facet-Dependent Multiscale Modeling of O* and H* Adsorption on Pt Catalytic Nanoparticles.

Within computational heterogeneous catalysis, two critical factors exist-coverage and multifaceted effects-which are challenging to incorporate and contribute to differences between the results obtained from computational and experimental studies. Such disparities exist when significant adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are present, particularly when coupled with computationally limited facet sampling. Here, we designed a study to demonstrate the significance of coverage and facet effects on the predicted coverages for O* and H* on Pt nanoparticles.

Enhancing dye degradation using a novel cobalt metal-organic framework as a peroxymonosulfate activator.

Among transition metals, cobalt ions exhibit superior catalytic activity in the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) degradation of pollutants. However, practical application is hindered by their high rate of ion leaching and the propensity for particle reunion issues. In this study, a novel cobalt metal-organic framework catalyst, denoted as CUST-565 ([Co(BTB)(BIPY)]·4.

Influence of the new dispersible fixed-dose combination anti-Tuberculosis drug on treatment adherence among children with Tuberculosis in Osun State, Nigeria.

Background: The dispersible fixed-dose combination drug has been recommended as the mainstay of treatment for TB in children. However, more needs to be known about its effect on treatment. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the formulation on treatment adherence among children with TB.

Water quality, WASH, and gender: differential impacts on health and well-being in Abeokuta City, Nigeria.

It is often assumed that humans experience the effect of poor water quality like multiple health and socioeconomic impacts in the same way. But these impacts are not gender neutral due to inequalities caused by physiological composition, age marginalization, and socioeconomic conditions, among others. A mixed method, comprising water quality assessment, a survey of 456 individuals, and medical record collection, was applied to examine the differential impacts of water quality and WASH practices in Abeokuta City, Nigeria.

Challenges in engaging the private sector for tuberculosis prevention and care in Nigeria: a mixed methods study.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the practices of private practitioners regarding tuberculosis (TB), and to ascertain factors related to the low contribution of private healthcare providers to TB prevention and care in Nigeria.

Design: This is a mixed methods study comprising a quantitative retrospective review and qualitative study.

Setting: Private health facilities (HF) in Oyo State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria.
