Anatase hierarchical TiO2 microsphere/carbon dots composite (HTM/CDs) was fabricated by a facile method for active visible light photocatalysis. The phase, morphology, microstructure and optical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronmicroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectroscopy respectively. Under visible light illumination, the fabricated HTM/CDs composite was exhibited an enhanced photo catalytic activity compared to that of pure hierarchical TiO2 microspheres (HTM). Such an enhancement in photocatalytic activity can be attributed to an increase in the absorption of visible light. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by the degradation of a model dyemalachite green (MG) and oxygen production through water splitting.We believe that this type of hybrid material could be used as a highly active and stable visible light photocatalyst to remove pollutants as well as energy production with high performance.

Aim: We applied the Institute of Medicine (IOM) definition of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare to estimate disparities in alcohol-related problems. This estimation involved adjusting for drinking patterns, gender and age, with observed disparities further explained by socioeconomic status (SES). We compared results of five statistical approaches which use different methods for adjusting covariates.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating cause of death and disability. Outcomes following TBI have been extensively studied; however, less attention has been given to identifying characteristics of individuals who have a favorable outcome following severe TBI. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a database containing information on TBI patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center between 2015 and 2021.

Microfluidic chips often face challenges related to the formation and accumulation of air bubbles, which can hinder their performance. This study investigated a bubble trapping mechanism integrated into microfluidic chip to address this issue. Microfluidic chip design includes a high shear stress section of fluid flow that can generate up to 2.

The conversion of diluted CO₂ into high-energy fuels is increasingly central to renewable energy research. This study investigates the efficacy of a Gd₂NiMnO₆ dendritic nanofibrous (DNF) photocatalyst in transforming carbon dioxide to methane through photoreduction. Gd₂NiMnO₆ DNF was found to provide active adsorption sites and control the strand dimensions for metal groups, facilitating the chemical absorption of CO₂.
