The simultaneous removal reaction (SRR) is a pioneering approach for achieving the simultaneous removal of anthropogenic NO and CO pollutants through catalytic reactions. To facilitate this removal across diverse industrial fields, it is crucial to understand the trade-offs and synergies among the multiple reactions involved in the SRR process. In this study, we developed mixed metal oxide nanostructures derived from layered double hydroxides as catalysts for the SRR, achieving high catalytic conversions of 93.

In this study, we synthesized VO-WO/TiO catalysts with different crystallinities via one-sided and isotropic heating methods. We then investigated the effects of the catalysts' crystallinity on their acidity, surface species, and catalytic performance through various analysis techniques and a fixed-bed reactor experiment. The isotropic heating method produced crystalline VO and WO, increasing the availability of both Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, while the one-sided method produced amorphous VO and WO.

Carbon nanotubes have gained attention as a support for active materials due to their high specific surface areas (400-700 m g) and chemical stability. However, the lack of surface functionality causes poor dispersion of active materials on carbon nanotube supports.

This research is conducted to improve the dispersion of MnO-CeO catalyst because manganese is easily aggregated during continuous thermal environment at operating temperature. Aggregated MnO particles on the support can be a major reason to degrade the catalyst performance. Therefore, the improved dispersion of MnO particles leads to the enhancement of the catalyst performance by utilizing hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) which is well known as thermally stable material.

Graphene has many excellent properties such as wide specific surface area, outstanding electrical mobility, and high optical transmittance. Due to these advantages, which make graphene appropriate matrix supporting vanadium for the nanocomposite. Also, depending on the synthesis process, graphene can be obtainable graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO).

Among the various hemorrhagic complications of HFRS, the spontaneous rupture of an arteriovenous malformation of the testicular vessels with a retroperitoneal hematoma is a rare finding. Here, we report a case of HFRS complicated by a massive retroperitoneal hematoma that was treated with transcatheter arterial embolization.

This usually occurs in patients with either tumor invasion into the portal vein or pre-existing portal vein thrombus. Therefore, the portal vein should be carefully evaluated before placing a biliary metallic stent in such patients.

Inflammatory breast cancer showed skin thickening and nipple-areolar swelling on mammography, ultrasonography, and MRI. Tumor with lymphatic dilatation on ultrasonography and enhancement of thickened skin and parenchyma on MRI can be useful findings in the diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer.
