The use of porous materials to store natural gas in vehicles requires large amounts of methane per unit of volume. Here we report the synthesis, crystal structure and methane adsorption properties of two new aluminum metal-organic frameworks, MOF-519 and MOF-520. Both materials exhibit permanent porosity and high methane volumetric storage capacity: MOF-519 has a volumetric capacity of 200 and 279 cm(3) cm(-3) at 298 K and 35 and 80 bar, respectively, and MOF-520 has a volumetric capacity of 162 and 231 cm(3) cm(-3) under the same conditions. Furthermore, MOF-519 exhibits an exceptional working capacity, being able to deliver a large amount of methane at pressures between 5 and 35 bar, 151 cm(3) cm(-3), and between 5 and 80 bar, 230 cm(3) cm(-3).

Microwave absorbers with infrared camouflage are highly desirable in military fields. Self-supporting 3D architectures with tailorable shapes, composed of FeCoNi alloy/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) @ carbon nanofibers (CNFs), were fabricated in this study. On the one hand, multiple loss mechanisms were introduced into the high-elastic sponges.

Ethylene glycol (EG) is a contaminant in the wastewater of airports because it is commonly used in aircraft deicing fluids during the cold season in northern regions. Ethylene glycol by itself has relatively low toxicity to mammals and aquatic organisms, but it can lead to a substantial increase in chemical and biological oxygen demands. The contamination of water with EG facilitates the rapid growth of microbial biofilms, which decreases the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water and negatively affects overall biodiversity.

Background: Giant pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (GPitNET) are challenging tumors with low rates of gross total resection (GTR) and high morbidity. Previously reported machine-learning (ML) models for prediction of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor extent of resection (EOR) using preoperative imaging included a heterogenous dataset of functional and non-functional pituitary neuroendocrine tumors of various sizes leading to variability in results.
Objective: The aim of this pilot study is to construct a ML model based on the multi-dimensional geometry of tumor to accurately predict the EOR of non-functioning GPitNET.

In this work, graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) prepared by thermal treatment, graphitic carbon nitride/chitosan (GCS), and graphitic carbon nitride/chitosan embedded thiosemicarbazide (TGCS) were developed as an effective solid adsorbent. The fabricated adsorbents were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, ATR-FTIR, TGA, XRD, ζ potential, SEM, and TEM, where TGCS composite had a higher surface area (536.79 m/g), total pore volume (0.
