Using the B3PW method we simulate the ground state of H center systems for CaF(2) and BaF(2) crystals. The energy difference between H centers with different orientations shows that the H center oriented in the [111] direction in alkaline earth fluorides is the most stable. We present the geometric relaxations of the neighboring atoms surrounding the H center. The combination energy of an H center and the formation energy of the related F-H pair in both alkaline earth fluorides are discussed. We also report the electronic structure of the H center systems. The effective charges and spins of the substitutional and interstitial fluorine atoms show that the hole is located at the interstitial fluorine. The band structures are presented. By studying the DOS sketches the constituents of the defect bands are clarified.

Cow-calf systems grazing native grasslands must transition toward improved economic performance simultaneously with the conservation and improvement of ecosystem services they provide. We present an innovation model with this objective based on a hierarchical model that links functional relationships between state variables, grazing experiments and its validation, and co-innovation at the farm level. This paper describes the hypotheses, designs, and results of the studies, and the role of grazing ecology and herbivore nutrition to support the process of ecological intensification of livestock systems on native grasslands.

Evidence-based dose selection of drugs in pregnant women has been lacking because of challenges in studying maternal-fetal pharmacokinetics. Hence, many drugs are administered off-label during pregnancy based on data obtained from nonpregnant women. During pregnancy, drug transporters play an important role in drug disposition along with known gestational age-dependent changes in physiology and drug-metabolizing enzymes.

The pretreatment with green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is conducive to realizing the high-efficiency utilization of lignin at a low cost. In this study, an innovative choline chloride/urea/calcium hydroxide (ChCl/UR/Ca(OH)) DES containing a reversibly-soluble base Ca(OH) was developed for the pretreatment of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL). The lignin pretreatment effects of the proposed ChCl/UR/Ca(OH) DES were compare with a series of DESs.

Cancer is a major global health challenges and various imaging-guided techniques are gaining prominence for its diagnosis and therapy with the advantages of high sensitivity, spatial resolution, and quantitative capability. The effectiveness of these approaches mainly relies on the establishment of a responsive platform. The intelligent polymer gel composites as the active carriers have drawn considerable attention owing to their outstanding versatility, three-layer network structure, mechanical adjustability and so forth, which may be contribute to loading drug, imaging probe, and targeting biomarkers in medical imaging-guided cancer therapy (IGCT).

Lipase enzymes play a vital role in digestion and nutrient metabolism in host organisms, with symbiotic bacteria producing abundant enzymes, carbohydrates, vitamins, and other nutrients. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and screen lipase-producing bacteria from the gut of Systomus sarana, optimize enzyme production using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and characterize the extracted lipase protein. A total of 11 bacterial strains were isolated and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing.
