Describing the crystal structure of disordered materials with mixed-occupancy crystallographic sites is essential for understanding their physicochemical properties and designing new materials tuned to their targeted functionalities. Here, we investigate the structure of RbMOF (M = Nb, Ta) pyrochlore-type oxyfluorides using a multimodal approach that combines experimental and computational techniques. Rietveld structural refinement of powder X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) data confirmed that these oxyfluorides are isostructural, and their average crystal structure is disordered.

The accurate estimation of methane generation in landfills is crucial for effective greenhouse gas management and energy recovery, requiring site-specific assessments due to the inherent variability in waste composition and properties before and after disposal. This study investigates the uncertainties associated with methane generation predictions by employing a combination of stoichiometric methods, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) assays, and Bayesian inference. Fresh and aged (1-year-old and 5-year-old) samples collected in the tropical Saravan dump site in Gilan, Iran, were used to evaluate the waste's methane generation potential and degradation rate in the field.

Hexagonal (β-) NaYF and LiYF doped with trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln, , Er, Tm, and Yb) are well-known photon upconverting materials. This property is crucially determined by the precise location of the Ln dopant ions and their closest neighbouring ions in the host material. However, due to the inherent disorder of the crystal structures the atomistic structure of a disordered crystal such as β-NaYF is not unambiguously provided by X-ray diffraction techniques.

Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.
Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Purpose: In patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, transcatheter or surgical pulmonary valve replacement is recommended. However, it is not clear whether pulmonary valve replacement preserves systolic and diastolic functions of both ventricles. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement on atrial and ventricular myocardial strain changes by feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
