Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the use of borophene as a material for gas-sensing devices, focusing on its ability to detect minor pollutant gases through density functional theory (DFT).
  • The research compares the sensing performance of three types of borophenes (two Pmmn borophenes and χ-borophene) with five harmful gases (CO, NH, SO, HS, and NO), analyzing their adsorption mechanisms and energy.
  • Results show that χ-borophene demonstrates selective interactions with harmful gases via both physisorption and chemisorption, suggesting its potential for sensitive gas detection and removal applications.

To explore the feasibility of arsenene in detecting HS gas, we employ the density-functional theory to investigate the geometry, electronic structure and magnetic properties of defected and doped arsenene. Point defects do not appreciably improve the sensing performance of arsenene due to small adsorption energies and charge transfer. The doping of transition metals (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co and Ni) introduces magnetic moments and narrows the band gap of arsenene.

This paper studies the relative-position-based reference-frame-free formation control in the plane for discrete-time multiagent systems under both measurement and communication noises. To achieve the desired formation, a robust distributed orientation estimate algorithm and a robust distributed formation control law are designed. The main idea of our method is to use the historical measurement information to get unbiased estimates and use the stochastic approximation method to inhibit the noise.

Abinukitrine A (1), a novel triterpenoid, was isolated from Abies nukiangensis. Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis revealed that 1 is the first example of 17,18-cyclolanostane bearing a unique 6/6/6/5/3 ring system. Its absolute configuration was unequivocally assigned by Cu-Kα X-ray single-crystallography.

To explore the clinical features, risk factors an d treatment of retinoic acid syndrome (RAS) in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) treated with retinoic acid, the clinical and laboratory data of 11 APL patients with RAS were retrospectively analysed. The results showed that earlier and more common symptoms of RAS were successively dyspnea (11/11), fever (10/11) and hydrothorax (6/11). Higher WBC count (> or = 15.
