In-Situ Lithium Analysis In MgLi Alloys Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy with a Compact Chamber.

This study explores the feasibility of in situ Lithium (Li) analysis in Magnesium-Lithium (MgLi) alloys using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). It focuses on two Li emission lines: Li I 670.8 nm (resonance) and Li I 610.

Association between vitamin D receptor gene variants and neonatal sepsis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was elucidating the association of VDR SNPs (FokI, TaqI, BsmI, BgII, and ApaI) with neonatal sepsis. Literature search was performed to retrieve records published until August 2nd, 2023 (PROSPERO registration: CRD42023451355). Meta-analysis was carried out to determine the pooled estimates for Odds Ratio (OR).

Four Decades of Laccase Research for Wastewater Treatment: Insights from Bibliometric Analysis.

Increasing trends of environmental pollution and emerging contaminants from anthropogenic activities have urged researchers to develop innovative strategies in wastewater management, including those using the biocatalyst laccase (EC 1.10.3.

Simple defocus laser irradiation to suppress self-absorption in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).

This study introduces a novel and simple way to suppress the self-absorption effect in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) by utilizing a defocusing laser irradiation technique. For this purpose, a Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1,064 nm and repetition rate of 10 Hz with energy in the range of 10 mJ-50 mJ was used. The laser irradiation was focused by using a 150-mm-focal-length plano-convex lens onto the sample surface under defocusing of approximately -6 mm.
