Article Abstract
Phosphorene, the 2D material derived from black phosphorus, has recently attracted a lot of interest for its properties, suitable for applications in materials science. The physical features and the prominent chemical reactivity on its surface render this nanolayered substrate particularly promising for electrical and optoelectronic applications. In addition, being a new potential ligand for metals, it opens the way for a new role of the inorganic chemistry in the 2D world, with special reference to the field of catalysis. The aim of this review is to summarize the state of the art in this subject and to present our most recent results in the preparation, functionalization, and use of phosphorene and its decorated derivatives. We discuss several key points, which are currently under investigation: the synthesis, the characterization by theoretical calculations, the high pressure behavior of black phosphorus, as well as its decoration with nanoparticles and encapsulation in polymers. Finally, device fabrication and electrical transport measurements are overviewed on the basis of recent literature and the new results collected in our laboratories.
Objectives: Phenylketonuria is a hereditary condition caused by the deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, leading to abnormal phenylalanine metabolism. Managing phenylketonuria involves implementing dietary interventions to control phenylalanine levels and prevent complications. However, these treatments can lead to long-lasting negative effects, including impacts on bone health and abnormal biochemical test findings.
Background And Purpose: The timeline of alteration of vitamin D and calcium levels in those receiving anti-seizure medication (ASM) remains to be elucidated. To determine the changes in vitamin D levels over a period of 6 months among children receiving monotherapy with commonly used ASM.
Methods: The baseline serum levels of vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), phosphorus were measured in 32 children (median age 8 years) with newly diagnosed epilepsy.

Oxidation is a fundamental transformation in synthesis. Developing facile and effective aerobic oxidation processes under ambient conditions is always in high demand. Benefiting from its high energy and good penetrability, ionizing radiation can readily produce various reactive species to trigger chemical reactions, offering another option for synthesis.
Currently, the increasing use of nickel metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOF) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) has raised concerns regarding their potential environmental impact on wastewater treatment systems. Herein, the responses of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (AB-AGS) to Ni-MOF and NiO NPs were investigated. The results showed that Ni-MOF concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/L significantly reduced nutrient removal in both systems, particularly affecting ammonia, nitrite, and phosphorus removal, while denitrification processes remained stable.
In this study, modeling and optimization of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Poultry litter were conducted to convert it into high-value materials. The aim was to understand the process and predict the effect of the influencing parameters on the product properties. The recovery of Inorganic Phosphorous (IP) and Carbon (C) was regarded as the model's response, although temperature and reaction time were thought to be important variables.
