The present study focuses on the charged-uncharged particles shielding performance of the addition of a mixed type of cathode ray tube (CRT) in a glass system that is irradiated by the Cf neutron source via the MCNPX simulation and analytical calculations, as well as Phy-X: PSD and SRIM software. The CRT waste glass is inserted into the glass system with (70-x) CRT-30KO-xBaO general formula for = 0, 10, 20 mol% that produces CG1, CG2, and CG3 glass shielding materials. Using Watt Fission Distribution (WFD) and Doppler Effect (DE) the neutron-gamma photon spectra were extracted for shielded (in the presence of the glass materials) and unshielded (in air) cases. Some calculated attenuation parameters related to the neutron deduced that CG1 is the best neutron attenuator among the selected glass samples. Moreover, by increasing the density of the glass from CG1 to CG3, the ascending trend is observed for the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC, cm) of the studied glass, and the best shielding competence is monitored for CG3. Furthermore, two sharp peaks are found in graphs which may be due to K-edge absorption of Ba and Pb elements and by decreasing the Pb element from CG1 to CG3 the second peak gradually becomes smooth. In addition, Mass Stopping Power/ Projected Ranges of the proton (H) and alpha particles (He) are also estimated by SRIM code and findings show that CG1 can better stop proton and alpha particles in comparison with the other chosen glass structures.

Synthetic bone transplantation has emerged in recent years as a highly promising strategy to address the major clinical challenge of bone tissue defects. In this field, bioactive glasses (BGs) have been widely recognized as a viable alternative to traditional bone substitutes due to their unique advantages, including favorable biocompatibility, pronounced bioactivity, excellent biodegradability, and superior osseointegration properties. This article begins with a comprehensive overview of the development and success of BGs in bone tissue engineering, and then focuses on their composite reinforcement systems with biodegradable metals, calcium-phosphorus (Ca-P)-based bioceramics, and biodegradable medical polymers, respectively.

Here, we report a water-induced supramolecular polymer adhesive formed from confined water and an intrinsically amphiphilic macrocyclic self-assembly in a nanophase-separated structure. The selenium-containing crown ether macrocycle, featuring a strong hydrophilic hydrogen-bond receptor (selenoxide) and a synergistic hydrophobic selenium-substituted crown core, confines water within a segregated, interdigitated architecture. While water molecules typically freeze around 0 °C, the confined water in this supramolecular polymer remains in a liquid-like state down to -80 °C.

Persistent hiccups are rare but can serve as an early symptom of underlying conditions, including pulmonary infections and cerebrovascular disorders. This case highlights hiccups as a presenting symptom of bronchopneumonia in a hemodialysis patient and explores the effective use of chlorpromazine and Hange-koboku-to (HKT) as symptomatic therapies. Given the potential association of hiccups with neurological conditions, this case underscores the need for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

Compositions of ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether methacrylate (EGDEMA), a vegetable oil based alkyl methacrylate (C13MA), and furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) were terpolymerized for dual-crosslinked networks with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. Specifically, initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) afforded materials with tailored glass transition temperature ( ) and incorporation of furan and norbornene functionalities within a single chain. The terpolymer with high furan and norbornene functionality (Ter2: = 0.

Spin glass (SG), in which the spins are glassy, has attracted broad attention for theoretical study and prospective application. SG states are generally related to disordered or frustrated spin systems, which are usually observed in inorganic magnets. Herein, supramolecular magnetic ionic liquid (TMTBDI[FeCl]) self-assemblies are prepared by solution self-assembly via hydrophobic and π-π stacking interactions.
