Published: August 2017

We perform an ab initio study of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metals (TM) adsorbed on freestanding and Ag(1 1 1)-supported [Formula: see text]-borophene. The stability of TM adsorption is high for all atoms and increases with the period. For the 3d TM adsorption we observed strong exchange effects. The Ag(1 1 1)-surface induced small effects on the calculated properties. Studying the magnetic interaction between TMs, VIB atoms showed direct exchange, while VIIB and Fe showed 2p(B)-mediated indirect exchange. In the ultimate case of a one-dimensional TM array, Ru and Os also show direct exchange effects.

Evaluation of anion exchange resin for sorption of selenium (IV) from aqueous solutions.

BMC Chem

January 2025

Nuclear Chemistry Department, Hot Laboratories Center, Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, P.O. 13759, Cairo, Egypt.

In this work, selenium (IV) ions were adsorbed from aqueous solutions by the strongly basic anion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400. The morphology of the resin before and after Se(IV) sorption was investigated using different techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To determine the ideal sorption conditions, a batch approach was used to examine the variables affecting Se(IV) sorption performance, including pH, shaking time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature.

Background: Kazakhstan inherited the Semashko health system model, known for the centralized adoption of rules at the Ministry of Health (MoH) level that regulate the healthcare system. In 2019 MoH established a national framework with indicators aimed at collecting qualitative and quantitative data from healthcare organizations as part of their annual self-evaluation, and biannual external evaluation by the National Research Center for Health Development (NRCHD). The purpose of this study was to pilot the MoH framework on rational use of medicines and evaluate its effects on medicine use practices in health care organizations and at the national level.

Like the lines themselves, concerns about facial wrinkles, particularly glabellar lines - the prominent furrows between the eyebrows - intensify with age. These lines can inadvertently convey negative emotions due to their association with negative facial expressions. We investigated the effects of repeated frowning on the development of temporary glabellar lines through the activation of the corrugator muscle.

Wireless microwave-to-optical conversion via programmable metasurface without DC supply.

Nat Commun

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves, School of Information Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

Microwave-optical interaction and its effective utilization are vital technologies at the frontier of classical and quantum sciences for communication, sensing, and imaging. Typically, state-of-the-art microwave-to-optical converters are realized by fiber and circuit approaches with multiple processing steps, and external powers are necessary, which leads to many limitations. Here, we propose a programmable metasurface that can achieve direct and high-speed free-space microwave-to-laser conversion.

Modular comparison of untargeted metabolomics processing steps.

Anal Chim Acta

January 2025

Christian Doppler Laboratory for Innovative Gut Health Concepts of Livestock, Austria; BOKU University, Vienna, Dept. IFA-Tulln, Institute of Bioanalytics and Agro-Metabolomics, Tulln, Austria.

Background: Untargeted metabolomics requires robust and reliable strategies for data processing to extract relevant information form the underlying raw data. Multiple platforms for data processing are available, but the choice of software tool can have an impact on the analysis. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of four workflows based on commonly used metabolomics software tools: XCMS, Compound Discoverer, MS-DIAL, and MZmine.
