Microwave heating is not the same as conventional heating, and it is believed that this difference, the "microwave effect," may be interpreted to be due to selective, local heating. The temperature at the surface where sorption occurs is "effectively" greater than the measured solid or gas temperature. In these studies, measurements of the amounts of adsorption as functions of the partial pressures of a specific adsorbate in the presence of microwave irradiation were related to the conventional adsorption isotherms. Equating the adsorbate pressure required to achieve a specific coverage (an isostere) in the presence of microwave irradiation to the amount adsorbed for a conventional isotherm allowed for an estimate of the "effective" surface temperature in the presence of microwaves. It was found that the effective surface temperature increased when using adsorbates having a higher permittivity or when increasing the microwave power. The implication of this change in the surface energy for specific species in the presence of microwaves is discussed.

The bismuth monolayer has recently been experimentally identified as a novel platform for the investigation of two-dimensional single-element ferroelectric system. Here, we model the potential energy surface of a bismuth monolayer by employing a message-passing neural network and achieve an error smaller than 1.2 meV per atom.

Objectives: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).

With the growing demand for nickel in the stainless steel and battery industries, conventional methods of extracting nickel from ores face challenges such as high production costs and environmental concerns. This study proposes a new process for the recovery of nickel metal and the production of nickel-iron alloys from nickel-bearing scrap. The reduction rates of nickel and iron oxides were investigated by optimizing the roasting temperature, time, and C/O ratio, and the process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).
