In their comment, Desjarlais claim that a small temperature drop occurs after isentropic compression of fluid deuterium through the first-order insulator-metal transition. We show that their calculations do not correspond to the experimental thermodynamic path, and that thermodynamic integrations with parameters from first-principles calculations produce results in agreement with our original estimate of the temperature drop.

GaN is an important semiconductor for energy-efficient light-emitting devices. Hydrogen plays a crucial role in gallium nitride (GaN) growth and processing. It can form electrically neutral complexes with acceptors during growth, which significantly increases the acceptor incorporation.

This work addresses the structural quantification of multiphase materials, here nanostructured polymer solid precursors and their micro/nano sized foamed counterparts. It is based on a strategy of contrast/edge enhancement, locally adaptive to image data in digital images of materials. The method allows to binarize straightforwardly the structures (the phases) in TEM and SEM images after edge identification, edge choice, and image virtual reconstruction.

Background: Although maintaining a stable body temperature during the perioperative period is crucial for the recovery of neonates, hypothermia frequently occurs during surgical procedures in this vulnerable population. A comprehensive analysis of intraoperative details, including medical history and monitoring, is therefore essential for understanding temperature variations and identifying risk factors for severe hypothermia.
Objective: In this study, we delineated the characteristic patterns of intraoperative temperature fluctuations in neonates and determined the risk factors impacting the severity of hypothermia.

Using renewable materials as primary components for constructing superhydrophobic coatings is an effective strategy for enhancing the environmental sustainability of anti-icing technologies. Alkali lignin, a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, was graft-modified with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane to create a robust and multifunctional superhydrophobic coating for effective anti-icing. The results demonstrated that the industrial lignin-based coating achieved a contact angle of 162.

The development of a sustainable and eco-friendly silver-based hybrid nanocomposite for safe and efficient point-of-use (POU) water disinfection remains a challenge. Herein, a simple and facile approach was proposed for the in situ immobilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on chitosan-g-poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (CS-g-PSBMA) hydrogel beads, which have been achieved via graft copolymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate along the chitosan chains followed by a drop method. The AgNPs-decorated CS-g-PSBMA hydrogel beads were characterized and their bactericidal efficacy towards Escherichia coli was evaluated concurrently with their anti-biofouling behaviors.
