Controlled mechano-luminescence properties of SrGaO:Tb co-doping with Dy and Eu ions.

Trap-controlled mechano-luminescence (ML) featuring photon emission under mechanical stimuli provides promising applications such as dynamic imaging of force, integrated optical sensing, information storage, and anti-counterfeiting encryption. However, the corresponding emission with a single color still limits the application of ML materials. Here, a trap-controlled ML phosphor of SrGaO:Tb (SGO:Tb) with a green-emission is investigated with an adjustable ML color.

Co-Infection in COVID-19 Pneumonia: Discussion Continues.

Sixty-six patients with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and pneumonia on chest computer tomography were prospectively recruited. A combined respiratory swab for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), urine sample for pneumococcal and Legionella antigen, and sputum or endotracheal aspirate were collected. Urinary antigen and blood culture tests were negative in all cases as well as the PCR tests for other respiratory viruses and atypical bacterial pathogens.

Octakis(epsilon-caprolactam-kappaO)erbium(III) hexaisothiocyanatochromate(III).

The title compound, [Er(C(6)H(11)NO)(8)][Cr(NCS)(6)], is a new structure type for [Ln(epsilon-caprolactam)(8)][Cr(NCS)(6)], where Ln is a lanthanide. There are two independent cations and two independent anions in the asymmetric unit. The Er atom is in a distorted square-antiprismatic environment of eight O atoms of the organic ligands; Er-O bond distances are in the range 2.

[Features of regulatory system function in platelets under the effect of plague toxin].

Yersinia pestis toxin (II fraction by E. Baker) inhibited aggregation of human platelets as well as elevation of Ca2+, induced by different agonists ADP, PAF, thrombin. Agonist-induced Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ influx were dose-dependently inhibited by the toxin.
