High-temperature IR absorption spectra of solid CO2 in phases II and IV were measured in a resistive heated diamond anvil cell up to 30 GPa. The spectral structures of the bending mode, observed in high quality thin crystalline samples, and of the IR lattice phonons, measured for the first time between 80 and 640 K, are discussed using group theory arguments. According to this analysis the claimed bent molecular geometry of CO2 in phase IV can be unambiguously ruled out. Furthermore, the structures of both phases II and IV have been identified, among those so far proposed, as orthorhombic.

Biofilms can cause biofouling, water quality deterioration, and transmission of infectious diseases. They are also responsible for microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) which can cause leaks, resulting in environmental disasters. A new disposable biofilm/MIC test kit was demonstrated to distinguish abiotic corrosion of carbon steel from MIC.

Objective Applying carbon ion beams, which have high linear energy transfer and low scatter within the human body, to Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT) could benefit the treatment of deep-seated or radioresistant tumors. This study aims to simulate the dose distributions of spatially fractionated beams (SFB) to accurately determine the delivered dose and model the cell survival rate following SFB irradiation. Approach Dose distributions of carbon ion beams are calculated using the Triple Gaussian Model.

Magnesium-containing molecules, including MgCH, MgCH, and MgCH, have been detected in the interstellar medium, largely facilitated by their high dipole moments. However, despite great efforts, MgCH species remain elusive. Given the challenges in obtaining experimental data for these molecules, theoretical studies play a crucial role in guiding their detection.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) exhibits re-processable properties, but the properties of TPU is deteriorated during the reprocessing for the oxidation and degradation of polymer chains. Meanwhile, although thermoset polyurethane exhibits excellent mechanical properties, it cannot be recycled for permanent crosslinking. Hence, it's still a challenge to obtain PU which exhibits the balance between the recyclability and mechanical properties.

Assessing soil quality is imperative to diagnose soil functioning and recognize inappropriate soil managements. However, the absence of defined indicators and their scoring methods and lack of universally accepted soil quality indexing frameworks complicate soil quality assessment, given soil systems complexity and diversity caused by variation in soil formation factors. This study was aimed to assess soil quality of three land use managements (CL, cropland; GR, grassland; SL, shrubland) in Northern Ethiopia, using two data sets (Total data set (TDS) and minimum data set (MDS)), linear and non-linear indicator transformation techniques and three indexing scenarios (Additive (SQI), nemoro (SQI) and weighted additive (SQI)).
