Article Abstract

Three new uranyl-organic coordination polymers (UO2)8(NDC)12(4,4'-bipyH2)3(4,4'-bipyH)3 (1), (UO2)3O[Ag(2,2'-bipy)2]2(NDC)3 (2), and (UO2)2(NDC)2(2,2'-bipy)2 (3), where NDC=1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate and bipy=bipyridine, have been prepared in hydrothermal conditions. Both 1 and 2 possess a 2D structure while 3 is composed of 1D zigzag chains. In 1 there are mononuclear pentagonal-bipyramidal U-O polyhedra and 1D channels filled with 4,4'-bipy molecules, whereas in 2 there are mononuclear hexagonal-bipyramidal U-O polyhedra and tetranuclear pentagonal-bipyramidal U-O clusters which form 2D channels with occluded [Ag(2,2'-bipy)2]+ counterions. In 3 both the NDC and the bipy ligands coordinate to uranyl centers, leading to hexagonal-bipyramidal polyhedra which are connected to form 1D zigzag chains. Under UV or visible irradiation, 1 and 2 degrade rhodamine B with similar efficiency. The correlation between photocatalytic reaction rate and oxygen concentration for 1 and 2 has also been elucidated. Crystal data: 1, triclinic, space group P1, a=11.037(2) A, b=15.126(3) A, c=15.660(3) A, alpha=62.05(3) degrees, beta=72.26(3) degrees, gamma=82.05(3) degrees, and Z=2; 2, triclinic, space group P1, a=14.161(3) A, b=15.122(3) A, c=18.212(4) A, alpha=85.73(3) degrees, beta=76.99(3) degrees, gamma=67.32(3) degrees, and Z=2; 3, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a=10.7976(18) A, b=31.501(6) A, c=11.590(2) A, beta=97.609(4) degrees, and Z=4.

Sub-diurnal asymmetric warming has amplified atmospheric dryness since the 1980s.

Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD)-a measure of atmospheric dryness, defined as the difference between saturated vapor pressure (SVP) and actual vapor pressure (AVP)-has been linked to increasing daily mean near-surface air temperatures since the 1980s. However, it remains unclear whether the faster increases in daily maximum temperature (T) relative to daily minimum temperature (T) have contributed to rising VPD. Here, we show that the faster rise in T compared with T over land has intensified VPD from 1980 to 2023.

Introduction: A 264-d isolation simulation, SFINCSS-99, was conducted in Moscow to replicate typical scenarios on an orbital space station. One long-term group of four Russian crewmembers occupied the isolation complex for most of the duration (240 d), while two international groups of four each spent 110 d successively at the complex. Additionally, there were several short visits by medical personnel.

Introduction: The rapidly expanding commercial spaceflight (CSF) market has fueled increasing interest in spaceflight experiences among individuals without professional astronaut qualifications. Such individuals may present with a range of medical conditions that add uncertainties to medical preparation and risk assessment for spaceflight. As the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) working group of the Aerospace Medical Association Ad Hoc Committee on Commercial Spaceflight, we conducted a scoping review to assess the available biomedical literature for ENT and neuro-vestibular conditions and physiology pertinent to spaceflight for nonprofessional space travelers.

The study addresses the gap in rehabilitation care of people with cognitive and/or multiple Impairments. Conventional medical care structures are often insufficiently adapted to the needs of this patient group. In this project, the rehabilitative care gap is practically closed with a social space-oriented rehabilitation concept for people with cognitive and/or multiple Impairments and to create sustainable solutions.
