The samples 8YSZ containing 70, 75, 80 mol% ZrO and other oxides were prepared by. a high temperature solid state reaction process. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and spectroscopic methods were evaluated the effect of oxide addition on the properties of yttria-doped zirconia. X-ray data shows the formation of zirconia (Y-doped), YSZ and/or tetragonal zirconia crystalline phases in all samples. IR data indicate the stretching vibrations of the Si-O bonds from tetrahedral [SiO] units and the stretching vibrations of the Fe-O bonds from [FeO] structural units, respectively. EPR results indicate the destroying of the local ordering of the Fe ion vicinities situated in the rhombic distorted octahedral geometries by the increasing of ZrO content in the host ceramic. The highest values of Vickers hardness were recorded for the ceramics containing 70 and 75 mol% ZrO. This superior performance can be explained considering the presence of a smaller amount of monoclinic ZrO crystalline phase in the ceramic structure. The analysis of the X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) data shows the presence of Fe and Fe ions. In the ceramics with higher ZrO contents the iron atoms adopt a randomly structure due to the highly distorted [FeO] structural units and non-equivalent Fe-O distances in the first coordination shell.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain, contributing to neurodegeneration. This study investigates lipid alterations within these plaques using a novel, label-free, multimodal approach. Combining infrared (IR) imaging, machine learning, laser microdissection (LMD), and flow injection analysis mass spectrometry (FIA-MS), we provide the first comprehensive lipidomic analysis of chemically unaltered Aβ plaques in post-mortem human AD brain tissue.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a vital food crop and staple diet for most of the world's population. Poor dietary choices have had a significant role in the development of type-2 diabetes in the population that relies on rice and rice-starch-based foods. Hence, our study investigated the in vitro digestion and glycemic indices of certain indigenous rice cultivars and the factors influencing these indices.

The water trimer, as the smallest water cluster in which the three-body interactions can manifest, is arguably the most important hydrogen-bonded trimer. Accurate, fully coupled quantum treatment of its excited intermolecular vibrations has long been an elusive goal. Here, we present the methodology that for the first time allows rigorous twelve-dimensional (12D) quantum calculation of the intermolecular vibration-tunneling eigenstates of the water trimer, with the monomers treated as rigid.

We have recorded the gas phase spectrum of isoprene at room temperature from the mid-infrared range and into the visible range (600 cm to 17050 cm). Absorption spectra were obtained by Fourier transform infrared, conventional dispersion ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared and cavity ring-down spectroscopy to cover the entire range with a resolution comparable to that of the instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope. We have assigned the CH-stretching fundamental and overtone bands corresponding to the Δv=1-6 transitions based on anharmonic vibrational calculations using normal mode and local mode models, for the lower- and higher-energy regions, respectively.

B- and N-heterocyclic fluorophores have reveal promising efficiency in blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with small full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM). However, their structural determinants for spectral broadening and operating stability are still needed to be investigated in further. Herein, a novel multi-N-heterocycles Diindolo[3,2,1jk:3',2',1'jk]dicarbazole[1,2-b:4,5-b] (DIDCz) is proposed to manipulate the emission color toward pure blue region by extending π-conjugation of the N-π-N bridge.
