The CW-EPR method of image reconstruction is based on sample rotation in a magnetic field with a constant gradient (50 G/cm). In order to obtain a projection (radical density distribution) along a given direction, the EPR spectra are recorded with and without the gradient. Deconvolution, then gives the distribution of the spin density. Projection at 36 different angles gives the information that is necessary for reconstruction of the radical distribution. The problem becomes more complex when there are at least two types of radicals in the sample, because the deconvolution procedure does not give satisfactory results. We propose a method to calculate the projections for each radical, based on iterative procedures. The images of density distribution for each radical obtained by our procedure have proved that the method of deconvolution, in combination with iterative fitting, provides correct results. The test was performed on a sample of polymer PPS Br 111 (p-phenylene sulphide) with glass fibres and minerals. The results indicated a heterogeneous distribution of radicals in the sample volume. The images obtained were in agreement with the known shape of the sample.

The genus includes numerous species, both cultivated and wild, offering significant genetic variability and economic potential that are often overlooked. Due to their high variability and ecological plasticity, jujube species and genotypes can be utilized in marginal areas and on land where few plants could be efficiently exploited. This study investigated variations in morphological characteristics (qualitative and quantitative), bioactive content (e.

Hydroquinone (HQ) is a prevalent pollutant in aquatic environments, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Practical methods for the simultaneous detection and degradation of HQ are essential. To address this requirement, a dual-mode detection and degradation strategy has been developed utilizing designed nanozymes (DM) consisting of a porous SiO core and MnO shell.

The cycloaddition of aziridines with unsaturated compounds is a valuable method for synthesizing nitrogen heterocycles. However, this process is predominantly substrate-controlled, posing significant challenges in regulating the regioselectivity of the C-N bond cleavage. In this study, we report a nickel-catalyzed dynamic kinetic activation strategy that enables catalyst-controlled activation of aziridines.

Background: Pharmacological vitamin C (Vit-C), or high-dose Vit-C has recently gained attention as a potential cancer therapeutic. However, the anticancer activity of Vit-C has not been investigated in realistic 3D models of human cancers, especially with respect to breast cancer (BC), and its potential benefits remain under debate. Herein, we investigate the activity and mechanism of action of pharmacological Vit-C on two BC tumor spheroids.

Alkaline-earth metal oxides with the rocksalt structure, which are simple ionic solids, have attracted attention in attempts to gain fundamental insights into the properties of metal oxides. The surfaces of alkaline-earth metal oxides are considered promising catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM); however, the development of such catalysts remains a central research topic. In this paper, we performed first-principles calculations to investigate the ability of four alkaline-earth metal oxides (MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO) to catalyze the OCM.
