This paper presents a comprehensive study of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si)-based detectors, utilizing electrical characterization, Raman spectroscopy, photoemission, and inverse photoemission techniques. The unique properties of a-Si have sparked interest in its application for radiation detection in both physics and medicine. Although amorphous silicon (a-Si) is inherently a highly defective material, hydrogenation significantly reduces defect density, enabling its use in radiation detector devices.

Dialkyl/aryl aminophosphonates, 3a-g and 4a-e were synthesized using the LiClO catalyzed Kabachnic Fields-type reaction straightforwardly and efficiently. The synthesized phosphonates structures were characterized using elemental analyses, FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and MS spectroscopy. The new compounds were subjected to in-silico molecular docking simulations to evaluate their potential inhibition against Influenza A Neuraminidase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of human coronavirus 229E.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed first aid knowledge, practice, and attitudes among medical and nursing students at Taibah University through an online survey with 359 participants.
  • About 32.3% of students showed excellent first aid knowledge, while 39.6% had good practice skills, with a notable influence of age on knowledge and attitude scores but not on practice scores.
  • The findings indicate that many students have a positive attitude towards first aid, highlighting the need for mandatory training and certification for medical students to improve their skills and knowledge further.
