Localized Boron Sites in Large Pore Borosilicate Zeolite EMM-59 Determined by Electron Crystallography.

The structure of novel large pore borosilicate zeolite EMM-59 (|CHN|[BSiO]) with localized framework boron sites was determined by using three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging. EMM-59 was synthesized using 2,2-(cyclopentane-1,1-diyl)bis(,-diethyl--methylethan-1-aminium) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA). The framework has a three-dimensional intersecting channel system delimited by 12 × 10 × 10-ring openings and contains 28 T and 60 oxygen atoms in the asymmetric unit, making it the most complex monoclinic zeolite.

Cooperative lattice theory for CO2 adsorption in diamine-appended metal-organic framework at humid direct air capture conditions.

The effect of humidity on the cooperative adsorption of CO2 from the air on amine-appended metal-organic frameworks is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Breakthrough experiments show that, at low relative humidities, there is an anomalous induction effect, where the kinetics at short times are slower than kinetics at long times. The induction effect gradually vanishes as relative humidity is increased, corresponding to an increase in CO2 adsorption rate.

Reducing plastic waste in intensive care from longer use of intravenous administration and invasive monitoring sets: A before-and-after study.

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) treatment carries a large environmental burden. Extending routine replacement of plastic line sets that belong to intravenous administration or invasive monitoring might lower waste from single-use plastics in ICUs. We extended the routine replacement interval of line sets from 4 to 7 days and assessed plastic waste reduction.

Child participation during outpatient consultations: a mixed methods study.

Unlabelled: Although children wish to be included in their own healthcare, they recognize a gap between their right to be heard and their ability to become involved. Despite adaptation of medical consultation styles which suit a more patient-centered approach, data on the current state of child participation in clinical encounters are missing. We aimed to assess actual child participation in a Dutch pediatric clinic.
