Published: February 2013

Dc-susceptibility measurements and Raman active phonon frequencies of hexagonal DyMnO(3) retrace the Mn(3+) ions antiferromagnetic transition at T(N) ~ 70 K and their spin reorientation at T(SR) ~ 48 K. The temperature evolution of Raman active mode frequencies and their over-hardening are associated with Dy(3+) and Mn(3+) ion displacements below T(N) and with a spin-phonon coupling that involves apical oxygen.

A multiomic study of the structural characteristics of type A and B influenza viruses by means of highly spectrally resolved Raman spectroscopy is presented. Three virus strains, A H1N1, A H3N2, and B98, were selected because of their known structural variety and because they have co-circulated with variable relative prevalence within the human population since the re-emergence of the H1N1 subtype in 1977. Raman signatures of protein side chains tyrosine, tryptophan, and histidine revealed unequivocal and consistent differences for pH characteristics at the virion surface, while different conformations of two C-S bond configurations in and methionine rotamers provided distinct low-wavenumber fingerprints for different virus lineages/subtypes.

Developing scaffolds supporting functional cell attachment and tissue growth is critical in basic cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine approaches. Though poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and its derivatives are attractive for hydrogels and scaffold fabrication, they often require bioactive modifications due to their bioinert nature. In this work, biomimetic synthesized conductive polypyrrole-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) copolymer doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PPy-PEDOT:PSS) was used as a biocompatible coating for poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel to support neuronal and muscle cells' attachment, activity, and differentiation.

This study examined the electrodissolution mechanism of five impure sphalerite samples, which differ significantly in purity levels, along with their partially oxidized counterparts in a 0.5 M HSO. Partially oxidized samples were prepared through an incomplete leaching of sphalerite using HSO with Fe(SO).

The sluggish water oxidation reaction (WOR) is considered the kinetic bottleneck of artificial photosynthesis due to the complicated four-electron and four-proton transfer process. Herein, we find that the WOR can be kinetically nearly barrierless on four representative photoanodes (i.e.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Tài Zǐ Shēn, TZS) is a traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and qi benefits. Its immunomodulatory, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, and lipid metabolism regulation effects have been clinically confirmed, but its role in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is still unclear.

Aim Of The Study: This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of action of TZS in treating MGD.
