The standardization account predicts short message service (SMS) interactions, allowed by current technology, will support the use and conventionalization of ideographs. Relying on psycholinguistic theories of dialogue, we argue that ideographs (such as emoji) can be used by interlocutors in SMS interactions, so that the main contributor can use them to accompany language and the addressee can use them as stand-alone feedback.

Background While key to interpreting findings and assessing generalizability, implementation fidelity is underreported in mobile health (mHealth) literature. We evaluated implementation fidelity of an opt-in, hybrid, two-way texting (2wT) intervention previously demonstrated to improve 12-month retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in a quasi-experimental study in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods Short message service (SMS) data and ART refill visit records were used to evaluate adherence to 2wT content, frequency and duration through the lens of the Conceptual Framework for Implementation Fidelity.

A sunflower seed shell matrix catalyst (SMS-750) was prepared from sunflower seed shell waste by pretreatment and pyrolytic carbonization. A series of characterization analyses showed that the prepared catalyst was rich in Ca, Mg, K, and other mineral elements and mainly existed in the form of metal oxides. SMS-750 was used to catalyze the glycolysis of waste PET, and the main factors affecting the BHET yield were screened out by a one-way experimental design, and then the BHET yield was used as the response value, and the response surface method was used to design and analyze the effects of the respective variables and their interactions on the degradation of PET according to the principle of Box-Behnken central combinatorial design.
