Following our previous study of prototypical insertion reactions of energetically asymmetric type with the RPMD (Ring-Polymer Molecular Dynamics) method [Y. Li, Y. Suleimanov, and H. Guo, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 5, 700 (2014)], we extend it to two other prototypical insertion reactions with much less exothermicity (near thermoneutral), namely, X + H2 → HX + H where X = C((1)D), S((1)D), in order to assess the accuracy of this method for calculating thermal rate coefficients for this class of reactions. For both chemical reactions, RPMD displays remarkable accuracy and agreement with the previous quantum dynamic results that make it encouraging for the future application of the RPMD to other barrier-less, complex-forming reactions involving polyatomic reactants with any exothermicity.

Background: The emergence of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a significant public health concern, as colistin has been the last resort for treating such infections. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of colistin-resistant CRKP isolates in Central South China.

Methods: CRKP isolates from twelve hospitals in Central South China were screened for colistin resistance using broth microdilution.

PET has become an important clinical modality but is limited to imaging positron emitters. Recently, PET imaging withZr, which has a half-life of 3 days, has attracted much attention in immuno-PET to visualize immune cells and cancer cells by targeting specific antibodies on the cell surface. However,Zr emits a single gamma ray at 909 keV four times more frequently than positrons, causing image quality degradation in conventional PET.

Precise Synthesis of 4.75 V-Tolerant LiCoO with Homogeneous Delithiation and Reduced Internal Strain.

The rapid advancements in 3C electronic devices necessitate an increase in the charge cutoff voltage of LiCoO to unlock a higher energy density that surpasses the currently available levels. However, the structural devastation and electrochemical decay of LiCoO are significantly exacerbated, particularly at ≥4.5 V, due to the stress concentration caused by more severe lattice expansion and shrinkage, coupled with heterogeneous Li intercalation/deintercalation reactions.

Mobocertinib is a potent selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with activating EGFR exon 20 insertions. The aim of this study was to develop a procedure for liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of mobocertinib and its metabolite desmethyl-mobocertinib in human plasma. The human plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile and analyzed using a Waters ACQUITY BEH C column coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Electrochemically inserting and extracting hydrogen into and from solids are promising ways to explore materials' phases and properties. However, it is still challenging to identify the structural factors that promote hydrogen insertion and extraction and to develop materials whose functional properties can be largely modulated by inserting and extracting hydrogen through solid-state reactions at room temperature. In this study, guided by theoretical calculations on the energies of oxygen reduction and hydrogen insertion reactions with oxygen-deficient perovskite oxides, we demonstrated that the oxygen vacancy ordering in Sr(FeCo)O (SFCO) epitaxial films can be stabilized by increasing the Co content (x ≥ 0.
