Synergistic Effect of Au-PdO Modified Cu-Doped KWO Nanowires for Dual Selectivity High Performance Gas Sensing.

Both 3-hydroxy-2-butanone and triethylamine are highly toxic and harmful to human health, and their chronic inhalation can cause respiratory diseases, eye lesions, dermatitis, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and even fatality.

On the remittances-environment led hypothesis: Empirical evidence from BRICS economies.

In this paper, we investigated the association between CO emissions, remittances, income, energy use, and foreign direct investment (FDI) through panel cointegration analysis, common correlated effect mean group (CCEMG), fully modified least squares (FM-LS) estimates, and panel causality test for the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) economies over 1986-2016. The empirical outcomes of CCEMG and FM-LS clarified that remittance inflows into BRICS region are contributing to environmental degradation. Similarly, results in the case of Brazil, Russia, and China supported the remittances-led emission hypothesis.

A comparison between a graphene suspended double-layer modulator and a subwavelength-thickness modulator is presented. The physics of both are analyzed in detail and show a confined mode in the suspended modulator but a leaky mode in the subwavelength modulator. The leaky mode shows zero light-matter interaction and zero modulation depth, which should be avoided in designing a modulator.

Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC): Clinicopathological and radiological features of a series of 10 cases.

Background: Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst (OOC) is a rare, developmental odontogenic cyst which was considered in the past to be a variant of Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) later renamed as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). The treatment of OOC is by enucleation and the prognosis, following enucleation is excellent with a recurrence rate of less than 2%. On the other hand, OKC has a recurrence rate between 8 and 25% after enucleation.

Polymer gels with tunable ionic Seebeck coefficient for ultra-sensitive printed thermopiles.

Measuring temperature and heat flux is important for regulating any physical, chemical, and biological processes.
