Published: February 2008

The dynamics of charge carriers close to the Mott transition is explored theoretically and experimentally in the quasi-two-dimensional organic charge-transfer salt, kappa-(BEDT-TTF)_(2)Cu[N(CN)_(2)]Br_(x)Cl_(1-x), with varying Br content. The frequency dependence of the conductivity deviates significantly from simple Drude model behavior: there is a strong redistribution of spectral weight as the Mott transition is approached and with temperature. The effective mass of the quasiparticles increases considerably when coming close to the insulating phase. A dynamical mean-field-theory treatment of the relevant Hubbard model gives good quantitative description of experimental data.

Photocatalytic technology holds significant promise for sustainable development and environmental protection due to its ability to utilize renewable energy sources and degrade pollutants efficiently. In this study, BiOI nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized using a simple water bath method with varying amounts of mannitol and reaction temperatures to investigate their structural, morphological, photoelectronic, and photocatalytic properties. Notably, the introduction of mannitol played a critical role in inducing a transition in BiOI from an n-type to a p-type semiconductor, as evidenced by Mott-Schottky (M-S) and band structure analyses.

, a leading non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) pathogen, causes chronic pulmonary infections, particularly in individuals with underlying lung conditions or immunosuppression. Current treatments involve prolonged multi-drug regimens with poor outcomes and significant side effects, highlighting the urgent need for improved therapies. Using a BALB/c mouse model of chronic pulmonary disease, we evaluated the efficacy of individual antibiotics-clarithromycin, clofazimine, and rifabutin-and combination regimens including clarithromycin+bedaquiline and clarithromycin+clofazimine+bedaquiline.

Background: Formal transition programs prepare pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) for successful lifelong management of their disease. Conducting transition program activities in pediatric cardiology clinics can be a challenge if there are limited resources. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a medical assistant (MA)-facilitated transition activity in increasing documentation of transition discussions and characterize staff acceptability of this intervention.
