AI Article Synopsis

  • The exploration of correlated oxide systems reveals how doping can lead to competition between different ground states in materials like high-temperature superconductors and manganites.
  • Recent findings indicate that doped multiferroics, such as Bi(1-x)Ca(x)FeO(3-δ), also display this phenomenon of phase competition.
  • Using photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM), researchers observed significant changes in the electronic structure of the material due to electrically controlled hole doping, which aligns with local variations in electronic conductivity.

Article Abstract

Amongst the most interesting phenomena in correlated oxide systems are the doping-driven competitions between energetically similar ground states found in, e.g., high-Tc superconductors and colossal magnetoresistance manganites. It has recently been reported that doped multiferroics also exhibit this generic concept of phase competition. Here, we employ photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) to demonstrate evidence of systematic changes in the electronic structure of Bi(1-x)Ca(x)FeO(3-δ) treated by electrically controlled hole carrier doping, the outcome of which clearly correlates with the local modulation of electronic conductivity observed in the same material.

Urban rail transit systems, represented by subways, have significantly alleviated the traffic pressure brought by urbanization and have addressed issues such as traffic congestion. However, as a commonly used construction method for subway tunnels, shield tunneling inevitably disturbs the surrounding soil, leading to uneven ground surface settlement, which can impact the safety of nearby buildings. Therefore, it is crucial to promptly obtain and predict the ground surface settlement induced by shield tunneling construction to enable safety warnings and evaluations.

Climate-driven distribution shifts of Iranian amphibians and identification of refugia and hotspots for effective conservation.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Faculty of Natural Resources, University of Jiroft, Jiroft, Iran.

This study investigates the potential impacts of climate change on the distribution of Iranian amphibian species and identifies refugia and biodiversity hotspots to inform effective conservation strategies. The study employed ensemble species distribution models to assess the impacts of climate change on 19 Iranian amphibian species. We analyzed future scenarios (2041-2060 & 2081-2100) under a high-emission pathway to identify potential range shifts and refugia (areas with stable or newly suitable climate).

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) offers a sustainable alternative by eliminating the need for cement, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Using durable concrete helps prevent the corrosion of reinforcing bars and reduces spalling caused by chemical attacks. This study investigates the impact of adding 5, 10, and 15% silica fumes (SF) on the mechanical and durability properties of GPC cured at 60 °C for 24 h.

Since the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported from Wuhan, China, there has been a surge in scientific research to find a permanent cure for the disease. The main challenge in effective drug discovery is the continuously mutating nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thus, we have used the I-TASSER modeling to predict the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 viral envelope protein followed by combinatorial computational assessment to predict its putative potential small molecule inhibitors.
