Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been earmarked as suitable for implantation within the human of its chemical makeup to human bone. In this paper, HA powders were synthesized via the precipitation method where phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was titrated into calcium hydroxide solution [Ca(OH)2]. Two parameters such as temperature and stirring rate were identified as factors that influenced the amount and purity of HA powder. Phase identification of the synthesized powder was done using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results show that HA phase can be synthesized from this titration process of Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 with yield amount of HA powder around 45 - 61 grams but with less than hundred percent purity. In order to study the effect of heat treatment to HA crystals structure, HA powder was calcined at 850 degrees C for 2 hours. It's found that the degree of crystallinity increases after calcination because of lattice expansion when the materials were heated at higher temperature

Background: To demonstrate the application and utility of geostatistical modelling to provide comprehensive high-resolution understanding of the population's protective immunity during a pandemic and identify pockets with sub-optimal protection.
Methods: Using data from a national cross-sectional household survey of 6620 individuals in the Dominican Republic (DR) from June to October 2021, we developed and applied geostatistical regression models to estimate and predict Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (anti-S) antibodies (Ab) seroprevalence at high resolution (1 km) across heterogeneous areas.
Results: Spatial patterns in population immunity to SARS-CoV-2 varied across the DR.

The unbound concentration of anlotinib is closely associated with its therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions. In this study, we established an accurate and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the detection of total and unbound concentrations of anlotinib, which was subsequently applied to clinical samples. The separation of unbound and protein-bound anlotinib was achieved through filtration-ultrafiltration (CF-UF).

Lithium has become a critical element in the modern era due to the emergence of lithium-ion battery (LIB) technologies as a mean to lessen the environmental burden created by the energy usage from conventional sources. In this study, LiCO was obtained from spent LIBs using a hydrometallurgical method and sintered with Taylor Flow Reactor (TFR) synthesized NiMn(OH) precursor to synthesize high-voltage LiNiMnO (R-LNMO) cathode material for the first time and conducted a series of tests and inspections for structure, morphology, electrochemical lithium cycling behaviour and its controlling factors, electronic conductivity, lithium ion diffusion characteristics and self-discharge behaviour. The results are benchmarked with C-LNMO synthesized through a similar processing but using LiCO obtained from a commercial source.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) and surrounding regions, vital to global energy and water cycles, are profoundly influenced by climate change and anthropogenic activities. Despite widespread attention to vegetation greening across the region since the 1980s, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study employs the eigen microstates method to quantify vegetation greening dynamics using long-term remote sensing and reanalysis data.

Using sunlight as the driving force for photocatalytic processes holds great promise for sustainability. As a starting point for developing a material capable of degrading aquatic pollutants using solar energy as a stimulus, this work focuses on synthesizing Au-TiO nanocomposites using the deposition-precipitation method. Characterization of Au-TiO nanoparticles was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
