A cobalt-containing supramolecular complex, Co-L, is presented, offering dual functionalities. Co-L contains both Lewis acidic-basic sites provided by the cobalt ions and hydroxyl groups, and Brønsted acid sites from the free carboxylic acid groups. This complex forms a 3D layered structure via assorted intra-layer and inter-layer hydrogen bonds.

This study examines two Mg-Ti-Zn alloy compositions, equal molar MgTiZn (TZ) and MgTiZn (4TZ), synthesized via ball milling followed by spark plasma sintering, focusing on their microstructures and corrosion behaviors. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of intermetallic phases, including TiZn and MgZn in TZ, while 4TZ exhibited a predominantly Mg-rich phase.

We aimed to determine the proportion of events occurring in lower-risk groups globally.
Methods: We included people aged 40 years to younger than 75 years who were enrolled in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, which is an ongoing, international, prospective, population-based cohort study that started recruiting adults from households selected to be broadly representative of the sociodemographic composition of their communities.
Salt stress is a major abiotic stress affecting wheat at various developmental stages and significantly reduces grain yield. Developing salt resilient wheat cultivars alleviate the negative impacts of salt stress and helps in maintaining sustainable grain yield under salt stress. A study was undertaken to assess the response of various seedling traits in a genetically, phenotypically, and geographically diverse panel of 228 hexaploid spring wheat accessions using greenhouse lysimeter system with two irrigation treatments: control (electrical conductivity of irrigation water as deci-Siemens per meter.

Sustainable diseases management strategies are required to reduce dependence on chemical fungicides and mitigate environmental hazards risks. Biochar, a carbon-rich soil amendment, improves soil health and enhances soil microbial activity, aiding in soil borne disease suppression.

Its ability to harness visible light for sustainable chemical processes makes it an attractive alternative to conventional methods. In this study, we have utilized two silver-based MOFs, incorporating two different Co-metalloligands, as photocatalysts for oxidation reactions and oxidative coupling processes.

Methods: Successive patients with ACS who underwent PCI from Sep'17 to Dec'23 were enrolled in a prospective registry. Details of risk factors, presentation, angiography, interventions, and in-hospital outcomes were recorded.
This study presents a series of /CdS binary heterojunctions, synthesized by combining (a Co-Tb-based supramolecular complex) and CdS in various weight ratios via a solvothermal process. These heterojunctions have been thoroughly characterized to elucidate their chemical, structural, and optoelectronic properties. The catalytic effectiveness of these heterojunctions was evaluated with respect to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), spanning photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photoelectrocatalytic processes.
