In situ studies on the physical and chemical properties of Au in inverse ceria alumina supported catalysts have been conducted between 295 and 623 K using high energy resolved fluorescence detection X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and X-ray total scattering. Precise structural information is extracted on the metallic Au phase present in a 0.85 wt% Au containing inverse ceria alumina catalyst (ceria/Au/alumina). Herein evidence for the formation of an Au hydride species at elevated temperature is presented. Through modelling of total scattering data to extract the thermal properties of Au using Grüneisen theory of volumetric thermal expansion it proposed that the Au Hydride formation occurs synergistally with the formation of a cerium oxyhydride. The temperature reversible nature, whilst remaining in a reducing atmosphere, demonstrates the activation of hydrogen without consumption of oxygen from the supporting ceria lattice.

Fish gelatin, a sustainable substitute for mammalian gelatin, frequently exhibits weaker gel strength and thermal stability, limiting its industrial uses. This study investigated an in vivo method to improve functional characteristics by supplementing Nile tilapia diets with Aronia extract. The control diet (A0) contained no Aronia extract, while the remaining four diets consisted of commercial pelleted feed enriched with 250 mg/kg (A250), 500 mg/kg (A500), 750 mg/kg (A750), and 1000 mg/kg (A1000) of Aronia extract.

Tumor hypoxia is one of key challenges in deep tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT), and how to fix this issue is attracting ongoing concerns worldwide. This work demonstrates dually fluorinated unimolecular micelles with desirable and stable oxygen-carrying capacity, high cellular penetration, and integrative type I & II PDT for deep hypoxic tumors. Dually fluorinated star copolymers with fluorinated phthalocyanines as the core are prepared through photoinitiated electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization under irradiation with NIR LED light at room temperature, followed by assembly into unimolecular micelles.

Water conductivity sensing relies universally on electrical measurements, which are subject to corrosion of the electrodes and subsequent signal drift in prolonged in situ uses. Furthermore, they cannot provide contactless sensing or remote readout. To this end, a novel device for water conductivity monitoring has been developed by employing a microenvironment-sensitive ruthenium complex, [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-disulfonato)], embedded into a quaternary ammonium functionalized cross-linked polymer support.

Foodborne viruses are significant contributors to global food safety incidents, posing a serious burden on human health and food safety. In this study, a multiplex reverse transcription-droplet digital PCR (RT-ddPCR) assay based on the MS2 phage as a process control virus (PCV) was developed to achieve the simultaneous detection of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) in bivalve shellfish. By optimizing the reaction system and procedures, the best reaction conditions were selected, and the specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility of the method were assessed.

The transport of biological materials must protect samples from degradation and ensure courier safety. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a new type of container designed for the secured transport of biological material for storing samples for quantitative RNA analyses. This was achieved by analyzing changes in the expression of selected human leucocyte housekeeping genes (, , and ) using reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and digital PCR (RT-dPCR) techniques.
