A theoretical study has been performed for deposited AumAgn (m + n = 1-6) clusters. The combined use of the Mexican Enhanced Genetic Algorithm (MEGA) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allows us to explore the potential energy surface and therefore, find the global minimum configuration for each composition. We have performed calculations of clusters deposited on defects (oxygen vacancies) known as F centers on MgO (100) surfaces. Our results show interesting differences in the geometries of the clusters upon deposition and as a consequence in their electronic properties. The combination of two metals with different electronegativities creates an inhomogeneous charge distribution on their exposed surface producing good conditions for a catalytic process to take place.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children globally. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) pneumonia diagnosis relies on accurate assessment of respiratory rate, which can be unreliable when completed by nurses with less-advanced training. To inform more accurate measurements, we investigate the repeatability of the RRate app used by nurses in Ugandan district hospitals.

Jakun, a Proto-Malay subtribe from Peninsular Malaysia, is believed to have inhabited the Malay Archipelago during the period of agricultural expansion approximately 4 thousand years ago (kya). However, their genetic structure and population history remain inconclusive. In this study, we report the genome structure of a Jakun female, based on whole-genome sequencing, which yielded an average coverage of 35.
