Via hydrothermal synthesis of Sn-Al gels, mild dealumination and ion exchange, a bimetallic Sn-Ni-Beta catalyst was prepared which can convert glucose to methyl lactate (MLA) and methyl vinyl glycolate (MVG) in methanol at yields of 71.2 % and 10.2 %, respectively. Results from solid-state magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopic analysis, probe-temperature-programmed desorption, and density functional theory calculations conclusively reveal that the openness of the Sn sites, such as by the formation of [(SiO) -Sn-OH] entities, is governed by an adjacent metal cation such as Ni , Co , and Mn . This relies on the low structure-defective pore channel, provided by the current synthesis scheme, and the specific silica hydroxyl anchor point is associated with the incorporation of Sn for additional and precise metal ion localization. The presence of metal cations significantly improved the catalytic performance of Sn-Ni-Beta for glucose isomerization and conversion to MLA of sugar compared with Sn-Beta.

Background: The care of older persons is facing several challenges, especially as care tasks are becoming increasingly rationalized with less opportunity for relational engagement between nurse assistants and older persons. Evidence suggests this engagement is needed to promote well-being and satisfaction among the older persons with whom they work. The aim of this study was to explore how care, in the context of worker perspectives, is understood and experienced in home or residential care facilities.

The analysis of chemical xenobiotics in human, food, and environmental samples has become a global priority. Consequently, both public and private laboratories require rapid, cost-effective analytical methods for quality and safety control. Fluopicolide, a fungicide used to combat plant diseases, poses potential toxicological risks to humans and animals.

The ubiquitous nature of thermal fluctuations poses a limitation on the identification of crystal structures. However, the trajectory of an atom carries a fingerprint of its surroundings. This rationalizes the search for a method that can determine the local atomic configuration via the analysis of the movement of an individual atom.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterium (), is still a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Fifty-fungi from a marine-derived fungal library were screened for anti- activity, and an strain with strong anti- activity was found. Three known flavones, chlorflavonin (), dechlorflavonin (), and bromoflavone (), were isolated from this fungus.
