A new understanding on the electrochemical coloration mechanism of titanium surface by Tengfei Yu, Yanpeng Xue, Man Zheng, Benli Luan

“…Our new finding based on spectrophotometer characterization reveals that the color of oxide film is determined by the diffuse reflection light. The coloration mechanism, attributed to the selective absorption of visible light by the TiOx semiconductor film, is therefore proposed and confirmed. …”

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the stomach: features of pathomorphological diagnostics by V. A. Tumanskiy, V A. Shavrin

“…On the base of our own observations and literature data it was determined that the distinctive pathologic features of MALT-lymphoma of the stomach are the presence of a dense diffuse lymphocytic infiltrate of centrocyte-like tumor cells of marginal zone (small cells resembling centrocytes with distinct bright rim of cytoplasm, with small nuclei of irregular shape, sometimes – split, containing coarse chromatin and indistinct nucleoli) in the lamina propria between the reactive lymph follicles and glands of the mucous membrane, monocytoid B-lymphocytes characterized by clear cell borders, broad light cytoplasm and bean-like nucleus, plasma cells, which may contain Dutcher bodies – intranuclear inclusions of immunoglobulins; single large centroblast-like or immunoblast-like cells having round-oval or slightly irregular in shape nuclei with 1-3 nucleoli, or vesicular-like round in shape nuclei with compact, centrally located nucleolus; small lymphocytes. …”

Antifungal and Photocatalytic Activities of ZnO Nanoparticles using Phyllanthus Emblica Leaf Extract by Anbuvannan Mari, Maria Vinosel Vincent, Ramesh Mookkaiah, Dhatshanamurthi Pachiyappan, Uvarajan Sambath

“…Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles was evaluated based on the degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) under UV light. Excellent outcomes were observed for the antifungal activity of the produced products against selected fungi of the Mucor and Aspergillus species by generating zinc oxide nanoparticles with diameters of 6 and 10 mm zone of inhibition.…”

Assessment of prostate cancer aggressiveness through the combined analysis of prostate MRI and 2.5D deep learning models by Yalei Wang, Yuqing Xin, Baoqi Zhang, Fuqiang Pan, Xu Li, Manman Zhang, Yushan Yuan, Lei Zhang, Peiqi Ma, Bo Guan, Yang Zhang

“…Highly correlated features were removed using t-tests and Pearson correlation tests, and redundant features were ultimately screened with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso). Models were constructed using the LightGBM algorithm: a radiomic feature model, a deep learning feature model, and a combined model integrating radiomic and deep learning features. …”

Exploring interactions between shading and view using visual difference prediction by Stephen Wasilewski, Marilyne Andersen

“…For a given view content, how well a view can be seen through different facade layers, or ‘view visibility’, depends on both the properties of the facade and the incident lighting. This dependency makes view visibility challenging to measure and quantify, which makes it difficult to understand how the benefits of a view through a window may be preserved by partially occluding facade layers. …”

Dynamically Cyclic Fe2+/Fe3+ Active Sites as Electron and Proton-Feeding Centers Boosting CO2 Photoreduction Powered by Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation by Ben Lei, Gaofeng Zhou, Zhongyou Gong, Chao Liu, Ying Zhou, Vitaliy P. Guro, Yanjuan Sun, Jianping Sheng, Fan Dong

“…Here, we devised a rational catalyst design to address these challenges by fabricating ferrocene carboxylic acid-functionalized Cs3Sb2Br9 nanocrystals (CSB-Fc NCs), which facilitate simultaneous benzyl alcohol oxidation and CO2 reduction reactions under visible-light irradiation. The synchronized proton-coupled electron transfer processes between the reduction and oxidation half-reactions on CSB-Fc NCs resulted in a 5-fold increase in the CO2 reduction rate (45.56 μmol g−1 h−1, 97.9% CO selectivity) and a 5.8-fold enhancement in benzyl alcohol conversion (97.7% selectivity for benzaldehyde) compared to the CSB. …”
