Electrolyte modification method induced atomic arrangement in FeO/NF nanosheets for efficient overall water splitting.

To explore transition metal-based electrocatalysts with remarkable energy storage and conversion performance, the rational design and synthesis of electrodes with rich active sites and favorable electrical conductivity are crucial. Herein, using fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive in electrochemical conversion reaction (electrolyte modification method) is proposed as an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of FeO/NF. The optimal sample FeO/NF-Li-FEC shows optimized HER activity with remarkably low overpotential of 222 mV at a current density of 200 mA cm.

A flexible and visually meaningful multi-image compression, encryption and hiding scheme based on 2D compressive sensing.

Encrypting plain images into noise-like cipher images is a common method in image encryption. However, when noise-like images appear in public networks, they are more likely to attract attention and suffer more cryptanalysis. To solve this problem, researchers propose the concept of visually meaningful image encryption scheme, which encrypts a plain image into a visually meaningful cipher image.

A case-control study on association of nucleotide excision repair polymorphisms and its interaction with environment factors with the susceptibility to non-melanoma skin cancer.

Aims: To investigate the association of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within nucleotide excision repair () gene and additional gene- gene and gene- smoking interaction with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) risk in a Chinese population.

Methods: A total of 1322 participants (939 males, 383 females) were selected, including 660 NMSC patients and 662 control participants. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was used to screen the best interaction combination among SNPs and smoking.

Pressure-Induced Crystallization and Phase Transformation of Para-xylene.

Static pressure is an alternative method to chemical pressure for tuning the crystal structure, bonds, and physical properties of materials, and is a significant technique for the synthesis of novel materials and fundamental research. In this letter, we report the crystallization and phase transformation of p-xylene under high pressure. Our optical micrographic observations and the appearance of lattice modes in the Raman and infrared (IR) spectra indicated that p-xylene crystallizes at ∼0.
