Dengue virus infection is a major source of morbidity and mortality in the majority of tropical and subtropical nations. In Nepal, the first case of dengue was reported in 2004, followed by numerous outbreaks exerting a critical impact on public health. This study aims to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of dengue patients visiting a tertiary care hospital to see the trend of presentation.

Lanthanide-based luminescent materials hold promise in sensing applications due to their distinct optical properties. Though advancements in lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have enhanced downshifting luminescence, achieving upconversion remains challenging. In this effort, we prepared upconverting ytterbium-doped europium MOFs (%Yb-EuMOFs; = 10, 20, and 30) via the solvothermal method using 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC) as an organic linker.

Article Synopsis
  • Ultrafast (UF) sintering is a novel technique for creating LiLaZrO (LLZO) solid-state electrolytes, crucial for the development of solid-state batteries.
  • This study investigates the surface chemistry of UF-sintered LLZO and finds significant contamination, particularly from LiO, which affects electrochemical performance.
  • An additional heat treatment at 900 °C post-UF sintering effectively reduces this contamination, leading to better performance in Li/LLZO/Li symmetric cells.
