We report the structural characterization of 1-2 nm Rh and RhAu alloy dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) prepared by chemical reduction with NaBH. In contrast to previously reported results, in situ and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopic experiments indicate that only a fraction of the Rh present in the precursors are reduced by NaBH. Additional structural analysis of RhAu alloy DENs using extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy leads to a model in which there is significant segregation of Rh and Au within the nanoparticles. In Rh-rich alloy DENs, Au atoms are segregated on the nanoparticle surface.

Background: Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy (ADOA) is a hereditary optic neuropathy characterized by retinal ganglion cell degeneration and optic nerve fiber loss. This study examined the correlation between clinical and structural parameters in patients with ADOA using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and explored potential clinical biomarkers.
Methods: A cross-sectional, case-control observational study included 27 patients with ADOA and 27 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Two novel phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors were detected in pressed candy using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection. Following extraction with acetonitrile and sonication, the compounds were isolated and purified semi-preparative liquid chromatography. Structural characterisation was achieved through high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

In this paper, we introduce FUSION-ANN, a novel artificial neural network (ANN) designed for acoustic emission (AE) signal classification. FUSION-ANN comprises four distinct ANN branches, each housing an independent multilayer perceptron. We extract denoised features of speech recognition such as linear predictive coding, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient, and gammatone cepstral coefficient to represent AE signals.

Defective MOFs have been identified as promising candidates for efficient membrane-based separation applications. However, the utilization of defective MOFs in membrane gas separation is still in its infancy due primarily to the inefficient molecular differentiation induced by structural defects. Herein, we report a strategic combination of ionic liquid (IL) and defective UiO-66-NH MOF to ameliorate the CO/N selectivity within the highly permeable PIM-1 polymer.

Broader adoption of 4D ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) for the study of chemical, materials, and quantum systems is being driven by development of new instruments as well as continuous improvement and characterization of existing technologies. Perhaps owing to the still-high barrier to entry, the full range of capabilities of laser-driven 4D UEM instruments has yet to be established, particularly when operated at extremely low beam currents (~fA). Accordingly, with an eye on beam stability, we have conducted particle tracing simulations of unconventional off-axis photoemission geometries in a UEM equipped with a thermionic-emission gun.
