The Interplay of Core Diameter and Diameter Ratio on the Magnetic Properties of Bistable Glass-Coated Microwires.

Glass-coated microwires exhibiting magnetic bistability have garnered significant attention as promising wireless sensing elements, primarily due to their rapid magnetization switching capabilities. These microwires consist of a metallic core with diameter , encased in a glass coating, with a total diameter . In this study, we investigated how the dimensions of both components and their ratio (/) influence the magnetization reversal behavior of Fe-based microwires.

Gold/cobalt ferrite nanocomposite as a potential agent for photothermal therapy.

The study encompasses an investigation of optical, photothermal and biocompatibility properties of a composite consisting of golden cores surrounded by superparamagnetic CoFeO nanoparticles. Accompanied with the experiment, the computational modeling reveals that each adjusted magnetic nanoparticle redshifts the plasmon resonance frequency in gold and nonlinearly increases the extinction cross-section at ~800 nm. The concentration dependent photothermal study demonstrates a temperature increase of 8.

Iron Oxide Nanoparticle-Assisted Delamination of TiCT MXenes: A New Approach to Produce Magnetic MXene-Based Composites.

TiCT MXene is one of the most comprehensively studied 2D materials in terms of its adsorptive, transport, and catalytic properties, cytotoxic performance, etc. Still, conventional MXene synthesis approaches provide low single-flake MXene yield and frequently uncontrollable properties, demanding further post-processing. The MXene family also lacks magnetism, which is helpful for producing effective nanoadsorbents as their magnetic decantation is the cheapest and most convenient way to remove the spent adsorbent from water.

Modelling the effect of particle arrangement on the magnetoelectric response of a polymer multiferroic film.

In this work the behavior of a three-component composite multiferroic (MF)-an electrically neutral polymer matrix filled with a mixture of piezoelectric and ferromagnetic micrometer-size particles-is investigated in the framework of a simple mesoscopic model. The main issue of interest is the electric polarization generated in a thin film of such an MF in response to a quasistatic magnetic field. The driving mechanism of the effect is rotation of magnetically hard particles inside the matrix which, in turn, transfers the arisen mechanical stresses to the piezoelectric grains.

Features of Kidney Function in Patients With Comorbidity of Arterial Hypertension and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Background and objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension are closely linked in terms of cause and effect. Decreased renal function is usually associated with increased blood pressure, and a steady increase in blood pressure accelerates the decline in renal function. In this study, we aimed to investigate laboratory parameters of renal function - blood creatinine level, urine creatinine level, urea blood level, urine albumin level, and in particular, serum cystatin C level - as early predictors of kidney damage and assess the filtration function of the kidneys based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with isolated arterial hypertension, those with a comorbid pathology of hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
