The study of degradation behavior of electrocatalysts in an industrial context calls for rapid and efficient analysis methods. Optical methods like Raman spectroscopy fulfil these requirements and are thus predestined for this purpose. However, the iridium utilized in proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMEL) is Raman inactive in its metallic state.

- Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) in water were studied using different receptors (L1, HL2, L3, HL4, HL5) to see how complex stability affects metal signaling.
- The receptors all have a cyclic tetra-amine structure combined with either one or two quinoline or 8-hydroxyquinoline units, influencing their properties and interactions.
- The study showed that Zn(II) forms more stable complexes with some receptors, while Cd(II) complexes benefit from better fitting in specific cavities, leading to unique optical behaviors for each metal in their respective complexes.
Pink biofilm formation on stone monuments and mural paintings poses serious harm to cultural heritage preservation. Pink biofilms are globally widespread and recalcitrant to eradication, often causing recurrences after restoration. Yet, the ecological drivers of pink biofilm formation and the metabolic functions sustaining the growth of pigment-producing biodeteriogens remain unclear.

- This study investigates the clinical and metabolic characteristics of mixed features (MFs) in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD), focusing on those experiencing bipolar depression or mania/hypomania.
- The research included 163 inpatients from May 2020 to July 2023, using various scales and diagnostic tools to analyze symptom severity and metabolic conditions.
- Findings revealed that MFs were linked to anxious distress and obesity, with a tendency to occur less in severely ill patients, suggesting these factors could enhance the assessment and management of MFs in BD.
