The rate coefficient for the reaction CH OH+OH was determined by means of a relative method in a simulation chamber under quasi-real atmospheric conditions (294 K, 1 atm of air) and variable humidity or water concentration. Under these conditions, a quadratic dependence of the rate coefficient for the reaction CH OH+OH on the water concentration was found. Thus the catalytic effect of water is not only important at low temperatures, but also at room temperature. The detailed mechanism responsible of the reaction acceleration is still unknown. However, this dependence should be included in the atmospheric global models since it is expected to be important in humid regions as in the tropics. Additionally, it could explain several differences regarding the global and local atmospheric concentration of methanol in tropical areas, for which many speculations about the sinks and sources of methanol have been reported.

A Varying-Coefficient Additive Hazard Model for Recurrent Events Data.

Stat Med

February 2025

Department of Statistics and Data Science, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.

The additive hazard model, which focuses on risk differences rather than risk ratios, has been widely applied in practice. In this paper, we consider an additive hazard model with varying coefficients to analyze recurrent events data. The model allows for both varying and constant coefficients.

A Cu(I)-Based MOF with Nonlinear Optical Properties and a Favorable Optical Limit Threshold.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Organic Integrated Circuit, Tianjin Key Laboratory of Molecular Optoelectronic Sciences & Ministry of Education, Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China.

The exploitation of high-performance third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that have a favorable optical limit (OL) threshold is essential due to a rise in the application of ultra-intense lasers. In this study, a Cu-based MOF (denoted as Cu-bpy) was synthesized, and its third-order NLO and OL properties were investigated using the Z-scan technique with the nanosecond laser pulse excitation set at 532 nm. The Cu-bpy exhibits a typical rate of reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with a third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient of 100 cm GW and a favorable OL threshold of 0.

The absorption refrigeration system (ARS) stands as a remarkable device that is capable of efficiently harnessing low-grade thermal energy and converting it into cooling capacity. The reverse electrodialysis (RED) system harvests the salinity gradient energy embedded in two solutions of different concentrations into electricity. An innovative RED-ARS integration system is proposed that outputs cooling capacity and electric energy, driven by waste heat.
