Beryllium carbonate: a model compound for highest capacity carbon sequestration chemistry.

Beryllium carbonate has the highest capacity to bind and release the greenhouse gas CO compared to amines, ionic liquids, CaCO or LiCO. The thermodynamic equilibrium for CO and BeO from BeCO is calculated. TGA of BeCO is used to determine the stepwise mechanism of its CO release, and the low melting point Li/Sr/BeCO is demonstrated.

A new electrolyte for molten carbonate decarbonization.

The molten LiCO transformation of CO to oxygen and graphene nanocarbons (GNCs), such as carbon nanotubes, is a large scale process of CO removal to mitigate climate change. Sustainability benefits include the stability and storage of the products, and the GNC product value is an incentive for carbon removal. However, high LiCO cost and its competitive use as the primary raw material for EV batteries are obstacles.

Buckypaper made with carbon nanotubes derived from CO.

Unusual buckypapers, sheets of graphene nanocarbons (GNCs) such as carbon nanotubes, were formed with GNCs directly derived from CO molten carbonate electrolysis. Examples are presented for buckypapers made from CO using either crushed or chemically washed GNCs, epoxy-infused CNTs, or GNCs pressed directly using a hot electrolyte to remove excess electrolyte.

Effectiveness of Manual Trigger Point Therapy in Patients with Myofascial Trigger Points in the Orofacial Region-A Systematic Review.

The objective was to compile, synthetize, and evaluate the quality of the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effectiveness of manual trigger point therapy in the orofacial area in patients with or without orofacial pain. This project was registered in PROSPERO and follows the PRISMA guidelines. Searches (20 April 2021) were conducted in six databases for RCTs involving adults with active or latent myofascial trigger points (mTrPs) in the orofacial area.

An integrated data framework for policy guidance during the coronavirus pandemic: Towards real-time decision support for economic policymakers.

Usually, official and survey-based statistics guide policymakers in their choice of response instruments to economic crises. However, in an early phase, after a sudden and unforeseen shock has caused unexpected and fast-changing dynamics, data from traditional statistics are only available with non-negligible time delays. This leaves policymakers uncertain about how to most effectively manage their economic countermeasures to support businesses, especially when they need to respond quickly, as in the COVID-19 pandemic.
