The chemotaxonomic approach to the identification of pathogenic bacteria for clinical purposes is surveyed. Primary interest is focused on the applications of HPLC to the determination of metabolic products from anaerobic bacteria. The use of HPLC is attractive as different classes of short-chain acids can be determined in a single analysis. Chromatographic conditions are extensively described, emphasizing the effects of changing variables on the HPLC profiles of analytes. The application of labelling procedures to bacterial metabolites can markedly increase the sensitivity of the analysis of pathological fluids. HPLC appears to be potentially useful in clinical bacteriology for the diagnosis of anaerobic infections.

Understanding lipid digestion is crucial for promoting human health. Traditional methods for studying lipolysis face challenges in sample representativeness and pre-treatment, and cannot measure real-time lipolysis in vivo. Thus, non-invasive techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) need to be developed.

Hydrogen production via electrocatalytic water splitting has garnered significant attention, due to the growing demand for clean and renewable energy. However, achieving low overpotential and long-term stability of water splitting catalysts at high current densities remains a major challenge. Herein, a CoP@CoNi layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrode was synthesized via a two-step electrodeposition process, demonstrating oxygen evolution reaction, with an overpotential (ƞ) of 373 mV and a Tafel slope of 64.

Metal-free molecular perovskites have shown great potential for X-ray detection due to their tunable chemical structures, low toxicity, and excellent photophysical properties. However, their limited X-ray absorption and environmental instability restrict their practical application. In this study, cesium-based molecular perovskites (MDABCO-CsX, X = Cl, Br, I) are developed by introducing Cs at the B-site to enhance X-ray absorption while retaining low toxicity.

For potential application in advanced memory devices such as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) or NAND flash, nanolaminated indium oxide (In-O) and gallium oxide (Ga-O) films with five different vertical cation distributions were grown and investigated by using a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) process. Specifically, this study provides an in-depth examination of how the control of individual layer thicknesses in the nanolaminated (NL) IGO structure impacts not only the physical and chemical properties of the thin film but also the overall device performance. To eliminate the influence of the cation composition ratio and overall thickness on the IGO thin film, these parameters were held constant across all conditions.
