Hearing temperatures: employing machine learning for elucidating the cross-modal perception of thermal properties through audition.

People can use their sense of hearing for discerning thermal properties, though they are for the most part unaware that they can do so. While people unequivocally claim that they cannot perceive the temperature of pouring water through the auditory properties of hearing it being poured, our research further strengthens the understanding that they can. This multimodal ability is implicitly acquired in humans, likely through perceptual learning over the lifetime of exposure to the differences in the physical attributes of pouring water.

Ru/GCN Nanocomposite as an Efficient Catalyst for Hydrogen Generation from Sodium Hypophosphite.

Sodium hypophosphite is a promising green source for generating clean elemental hydrogen without pollutants. This study presents the development of an efficient heterogeneous catalyst, Ru/g-CN (Ru/GCN), for hydrogen generation from sodium hypophosphite. The Ru/GCN catalyst demonstrates excellent activity under mild reaction conditions and maintains its effectiveness over multiple cycles without significant loss of activity.

Photocatalytic-Driven Antiviral Activities of Heterostructured BiOClBr - BiOBr Semiconductors.

Numerous methods for eliminating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are being extensively examined in recent years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse effects on society. Photocatalysis is among the most encouraging solutions since it has the capacity to fully annihilate pathogens, surpassing conventional disinfecting methods. A heterostructured photocatalytic composite of (70%W BiOClBr with 30%W BiOBr) was prepared via a simple synthetic route that yielded microspheres ∼3-4 μm in diameter.

"Redirecting an anti-IL-1β antibody to bind a new, unrelated and computationally predicted epitope on hIL-17A".

Antibody engineering technology is at the forefront of therapeutic antibody development. The primary goal for engineering a therapeutic antibody is the generation of an antibody with a desired specificity, affinity, function, and developability profile. Mature antibodies are considered antigen specific, which may preclude their use as a starting point for antibody engineering.

Remote Photocatalytic Eradication of Biorecalcitrant Microorganisms via BiOClBr-The Applied Aspects of Visible Light-Driven Photocatalysis.

Photocatalysis has an exceptional capacity to eliminate a wide range of harmful microorganisms and is proven to be superior over commonly used disinfection methods. A visible light-induced photocatalyst, the BiOClBr@gypsum hybrid composite, composed of microspheres (∼3 μm) molded with a gypsum composite as a honeycomb-shaped filter was proven to inactivate a large selection of bacteria including , and via remote photocatalysis. The chemical composition and morphology of the composite were unveiled with the help of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N sorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
