We report the solvothermal synthesis of hierarchical structures of orthorhombic Sb2WO6 and their implementation as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the degradation of Rhodamine B. The obtained hierarchical structures constructed by tiny nanosheets are doughnut-like flat ellipsoids with concaves in the centres, and with typical sizes of 1.3 μm in length, 800 nm in width and 400 nm in thickness. The concave characteristics and sizes of Sb2WO6 hierarchical structures can be tuned by adjusting the volume ratio of EG-H2O. Time-dependent experiments reveal that the formation process of concave structures involves the aggregation of nanoparticles to form solid spheres, dissolution-recrystallization to form hierarchical structures subsequently, and an Ostwald ripening process to shape the desired concaves finally. Under visible-light irradiation, complete degradation of Rhodamine B is achieved within 180 min in the presence of Sb2WO6 hierarchical structures, which could be ascribed to the porous structures, high BET surface area (42.58 m(2) g(-1)) and wide absorption in the visible-light region.

It is popular to study individual differences in cognition with experimental tasks, and the main goal of such approaches is to analyze the pattern of correlations across a battery of tasks and measures. One difficulty is that experimental tasks are often low in reliability as effects are small relative to trial-by-trial variability. Consequently, it remains difficult to accurately estimate correlations.

To enhance high-frequency perceptual information and texture details in remote sensing images and address the challenges of super-resolution reconstruction algorithms during training, particularly the issue of missing details, this paper proposes an improved remote sensing image super-resolution reconstruction model. The generator network of the model employs multi-scale convolutional kernels to extract image features and utilizes a multi-head self-attention mechanism to dynamically fuse these features, significantly improving the ability to capture both fine details and global information in remote sensing images. Additionally, the model introduces a multi-stage Hybrid Transformer structure, which processes features at different resolutions progressively, from low resolution to high resolution, substantially enhancing reconstruction quality and detail recovery.

Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a re-emerging tick-borne zoonosis that is caused by CCHF virus (CCHFV). The geographical distribution of the disease and factors that influence its occurrence are poorly known. We analysed historical records on its outbreaks in various countries across the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to identify hotspots and determine socioecological and demographicfactors associated with these outbreaks.
