Nitrogen-containing high-energy organic compounds represent a class of materials with critical implications in various fields, including military, aerospace, and chemical industries. The precise characterization and analysis of these compounds are essential for both safety and performance considerations. Spectroscopic characterization in the far-infrared region has great potential for non-destructive investigation of high energetic and related compounds. This research article presents a comprehensive study of common organic energetic materials in the far-infrared region (5-200 cm), aiming to enhance security measures through the utilization of cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques. Broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and ultra-low frequency Raman spectroscopy are employed as powerful tools to probe the vibrational and rotational modes of various explosive materials. One of the key objectives of this present work is unveiling the characteristic spectral features and optical parameters of five common nitrogen based high energy organic compounds towards rapid and accurate identification. Further, we have explored the potential of terahertz reflection imaging for non-contact through barrier sensing, a critical requirement in security applications. Based on the spectral features obtained from the spectroscopic studies and using advanced imaging algorithms we have been able to detect these compounds under various barriers including paper, cloth, backpack, etc. Subsequently, this study highlights the capabilities of the two techniques offering a pathway to enhance their utility over a wide range of practical security applications.

Accidental ingestion of lead (Pb)-contaminated soils represents a major route of Pb exposure for both adults and children, and the development of accessible and cost-effective solutions to reduce Pb poisoning is urgently required. Here, we present an effective and straightforward technique, involving the consumption of cola beverages, for the purpose of lowering blood Pb levels following the ingestion of contaminated soils in animal models. This method facilitated the direct passage of Pb in contaminated soil through the digestive system, enhancing its elimination without absorption into systemic circulation.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been recognized as the most reliable diagnostic tool. However, there is a need to develop multiplexed assays capable of analyzing multiple genes simultaneously to expand its application. To address this, a multiplexed RT-qPCR using a double emulsion (DE)-based carrier and a polymer microparticle reactor, termed primer-incorporated network tailored with Taqman probe (TaqPIN) is developed.

Introduction: Young adults experiencing psychosis have the same plans for work and future careers as their peers; however, many find themselves unable to participate. While there is research available about interventions used to support employment of young adults with psychosis, there is little evidence regarding the experience of occupational therapists working in this field and the vocational rehabilitation interventions and practices they use.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was used to explore the perspectives of occupational therapy practitioners who support young adults experiencing psychosis with employment.
