Recent progress, challenges, and future perspectives of electrochemical biosensing of aflatoxins.

Aflatoxins (AFs), produced by fungi, are highly hazardous and classified as mycotoxins. Controlling their levels is of significant concern. This group consists of 20 fungal metabolites, all structurally derived from difuranocoumarin.

Interpretable (not just posthoc-explainable) medical claims modeling for discharge placement to reduce preventable all-cause readmissions or death.

We developed an inherently interpretable multilevel Bayesian framework for representing variation in regression coefficients that mimics the piecewise linearity of ReLU-activated deep neural networks. We used the framework to formulate a survival model for using medical claims to predict hospital readmission and death that focuses on discharge placement, adjusting for confounding in estimating causal local average treatment effects. We trained the model on a 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries from 2008 and 2011, based on their 2009-2011 inpatient episodes (approximately 1.

Enriched photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities of a 2D/0D g-CN/CeO nanostructure.

Sunlight-powered photocatalysts made from CeO nanosized particles and g-CN nanostructures were produced through a thermal decomposition process with urea and cerium nitrate hexahydrate. The preparation of g-CN, CeO, and a binary nanostructured g-CN/CeO photocatalyst was done through a facile thermal decomposition method. The structural properties were analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Carbon Nitride Coupled CoO: A Pyrolysis-Based Approach for High-Performance Hybrid Energy Storage.

Graphitic carbon nitride (CN) is a cost-effective and easily synthesized supercapacitor electrode material. However, its limited specific capacity has hindered its practical use. To address this, we developed a binary nanostructure by growing nanosized CoO particles on CN.
