Synergistic Binding Sites in a Robust and Scalable Metal-Organic Framework for Record CH Capture.

Effectual CH reclamation from CH/N blends by existing physisorbents in industrialization confronts the adversity of frustrated separation performance, weak structural strength, and restricted scale-up preparation. To solve aforesaid bottlenecks, herein, a strategy is presented to fabricate synergistic strong recognition binding sites in a robust and scalable optimum Cu(pma) with ultramicroporous feature regarding superb CH separation versus N. By virtue of the synergistic contribution of multiple affinities accompanied by enormous potential field overlap of pore restriction, it imparts strong recognition binding toward CH molecules.

Room-Temperature, Flexible Formaldehyde Gas Sensors Using Titanium-Incorporated 1T/2H MoS.

The development of room-temperature (RT) formaldehyde sensors is significant for indoor air quality monitoring. In this contribution, titanium (Ti)-incorporated 1T/2H molybdenum disulfide (MoS) phase heterostructures were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method. Compared with 1T/2H MoS, the as-prepared 1T/2H MoTiS nanosheets showed a boosted RT formaldehyde sensing performance, which was attributed to the enhanced gas adsorption and charge transfer processes induced by Ti incorporation and could be regulated by tuning the Mo/Ti ratio in MoTiS.

Influenza's Plummeting During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Roles of Mask-Wearing, Mobility Change, and SARS-CoV-2 Interference.

Seasonal influenza activity typically peaks in the winter months but plummeted globally during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Unraveling lessons from influenza's unprecedented low profile is critical in informing preparedness for incoming influenza seasons. Here, we explored a country-specific inference model to estimate the effects of mask-wearing, mobility changes (international and domestic), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) interference in China, England, and the United States.

The Incoming Influenza Season - China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, 2021-2022.

Introduction: Seasonal influenza activity has declined globally since the widespread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. There has been scarce information to understand the future dynamics of influenza - and under different hypothesis on relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in particular - after the disruptions to seasonal patterns.

Methods: We collected data from public sources in China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and forecasted the influenza dynamics in the incoming 2021-2022 season under different NPIs.

Impact of COVID-19 outbreaks and interventions on influenza in China and the United States.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was detected in China during the 2019-2020 seasonal influenza epidemic. Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and behavioral changes to mitigate COVID-19 could have affected transmission dynamics of influenza and other respiratory diseases. By comparing 2019-2020 seasonal influenza activity through March 29, 2020 with the 2011-2019 seasons, we found that COVID-19 outbreaks and related NPIs may have reduced influenza in Southern and Northern China and the United States by 79.
