Mild thermal treatment-driven transformation of CuOx assisted with the rearrangement of Al sites in Cu-SSZ-13 by Dongxu Han, Ying Xin, Junxiu Jia, Jin Wang, Zhaoliang Zhang

“…X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), in situ Raman, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterizations demonstrated that the Cu species in the aggregated CuOx clusters underwent redispersion and transformation into Cu2+ ions, which were trapped by the rearranged Al sites of zeolites during the mild thermal treatment process. …”

Difficulties in the Differential Diagnosis of Tracheobronchomegaly in Children by N. A. Il’ina, L. E. Vorob’eva, M. D. Bakradze, A. S. Polyakova

“…In this connection, the need arises for the early detection of this pathology in children and its differentiation from other diseases and malformations of the tracheobronchial tree, which mask a recurrent inflammatory process in the lung and upper respiratory tract, and primarily with those, such as cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia.The paper describes a case of secondary tracheobronchomegaly in a child with obvious clinical manifestations of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome in the presence of bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, and signs of systemic connective tissue disease. …”

Poroelastic Response to Karst Conduit Pressurization: A Finite Element Modeling Exercise Toward the Use of Tiltmeters in Karst Aquifer Monitoring Applications by Jacob Alexander Gochenour, Alex J. Rinehart, Andrew J. Luhmann, Ronni Grapenthin, Susan L. Bilek

“…Conduit pressure variations cause groundwater to be stored or released from storage within the surrounding rock matrix. We modeled this process and infer whether the resulting deformation is measurable with tiltmeters and what behavior to expect by fully coupling porous media flow and solid mechanics in a poroelastic, 2D finite element model. …”

Optimizing electrocaloric effect of PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 ceramics near/below room temperature by ordering degree modulation by Ruowei Yin, Yuxuan Hou, Xiaowei Lv, Junjie Li, Rongju Zhong, Yanjing Su, Lijie Qiao, Renchao Che, Lifeng Zhu, Chuanbao Liu, Yang Bai

“…This work continuously adjusts the ordering degree (Ω) for PST ceramics on a large scale from 0.51 to 1 via multiple heat treatment processes. For the PST sample with Ω = 1, large ΔH = 1.06 J/g and very large EC adiabatic temperature change ΔTmax = 4.26 K@60 kV/cm are obtained because of the highly ordered arrangement of the Sc3+ and Ta5+ ions. …”

Hyccin, the molecule mutated in the leukodystrophy hypomyelination and congenital cataract (HCC), is a neuronal protein. by Elisabetta Gazzerro, Simona Baldassari, Caterina Giacomini, Veronica Musante, Floriana Fruscione, Veronica La Padula, Roberta Biancheri, Sonia Scarfì, Valeria Prada, Federica Sotgia, Ian D Duncan, Federico Zara, Hauke B Werner, Michael P Lisanti, Lucilla Nobbio, Anna Corradi, Carlo Minetti

“…Intriguingly, the abundance of the molecule was upregulated at postnatal days 10 and 15, in the initial steps of myelinogenesis and then declined at 30 days when the process is complete. As Hyccin is primarily expressed in neurons and its mutation leads to hypomyelination in human patients, we suggest that the protein is involved in neuron-to-glia signalling to initiate or maintain myelination.…”
