We study thermal bleaching of photodarkening-induced loss in a 20-microm core diameter, large-mode-area ytterbium-doped silica fiber. Pristine and photodarkened samples are subjected to thermal cycling pulses. Recovery of the photodarkened fiber absorption coefficient initiates at approximately 350 degrees C and complete recovery is reached at approximately 625 degrees C. However, prior to recovery, the photodarkened fiber exhibits further heat-induced increase of absorption loss. This increase of loss is attributed to both a permanent increase of loss-inducing color centers and a temperature-dependent broadening of the absorption spectrum. Post-irradiation heat-induced formation of color centers suggests the presence of an intermediate energy state in the near-infrared photochemical mechanism for photodarkening.

Antibiotics are emerging environmental contaminants posing critical health risks due to their tendency to concentrate in living things and eventually infiltrate the human body. Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is among the commonly detected antibiotics in wastewater requiring effective removal approach. A sustainable, thermally stable and easily separable magnetic sporopollenin-cellulose triacetate (Msp-CTA) was developed via a simple step synthesis for eliminating SMZ from aqueous solution.

Introduction: Arterialized venous flap, like any other flap, will undergo an ischemic reperfusion injury during its transfer process. To overcome this, ischemic preconditioning can be done to provide protection and enhanced flap survival. One of the reliable parameters of flap survival is its temperature.

The efficient removal of Mn(II) from wastewater is crucial for safeguarding water quality, yet existing adsorbents face significant challenges, including high costs, poor resistance to ionic interference, and scalability limitations. This study addresses these challenges by utilizing abundant natural sandy sediment (SS) as a substrate to load unsaturated MnO via in-situ oxidation, creating a novel adsorbent (MOSS). MOSS exhibits a remarkable Mn(II) adsorption capacity of 1.

As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) increases, the shortened cycle life and the increased safety hazards of LIBs are drawing increasing concerns. To address such challenges, a series of localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) based on a solvating-solvent mixture of tetramethylene sulfone and trimethyl phosphate and a high flash-point diluent 1H,1H,5H-octafluoropentyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether were designed. The LHCEs exhibited nonflammability and greatly suppressed heat release at elevated temperatures, which would potentially improve the safety performance of the LIBs.

In this research, activated carbon from banana peel (BPAC) was prepared by calcination (600 °C) method. Nano composites MO@BPAC (MO=NiO, CuO and ZnO) were prepared and then were characterized by XRD, FTIR, FESM, EDX, BETand TGA methods. Formation of MO@BPAC nanocomposites was confirmed by analysis methods.
