Article Abstract

The phase transformation of La(2)Ni(7) during hydrogenation was investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction. We found two hydride phases, La(2)Ni(7)H(7.1) (phase I) and La(2)Ni(7)H(10.8) (phase II), during the first absorption cycle. The metal sublattice of phase I was orthorhombic (space group Pbcn) with lattice parameters a = 0.50128(6) nm, b = 0.8702(1) nm, and c = 3.0377(1) nm. The sublattice for phase II was monoclinic (space group C2/c) with lattice parameters a = 0.51641(9) nm, b = 0.8960(1) nm, c = 3.1289(1) nm, and β = 90.17(1)°. The lattice parameter c increased with the hydrogen content, while a and b decreased in the formation of phase I from the alloy. Phase transformation from phase I to phase II was accompanied by isotropic expansion. The La(2)Ni(4) and LaNi(5) subunit expanded by 48.9% and 6.0% in volume, respectively, during hydrogenation to phase I. They expanded an additional 14% and 5.8%, respectively, in the formation of phase II. The obtained volume expansion suggested different hydrogen distribution in the La(2)Ni(4) and LaNi(5) subunit during hydrogenation.

Background: Various media are used to enhance public understanding about diseases. While mobile health apps are widely used, there is little proof for using such apps to raise awareness of skin diseases.

Objective: We intend to develop an app, called DEDIKASI-app, to raise awareness of skin diseases, including leprosy.

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.

Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

l-glufosinate has garnered increasing attention as an ideal herbicide for weed control in agriculture. However, the underlying racemization process of l-glufosinate in the aqueous phase remains unclear. In this work, we elucidated the racemization mechanisms through heating reactions and theoretical calculations.

Conventional gelatin's gel-to-sol transition upon heating restricts its utility in biomedical applications that benefit from a gel state at physiological temperatures such as Pluronic F127 and poly(NIPAAm). Herein, we present "rev-Gelatin", a gelatin engineered with reverse thermo-responsive properties that undergoes a sol-to-gel transition as temperature rises from ambient to body temperature. Inspired by the phase dynamics of common materials like candy and ice cubes, whose surfaces soften or partially melt under warming, facilitating inter-object adhesion- rev-Gelatin leverages this concept to achieve fluidity at room temperature for easy injectability.

It is helpful for diagnostic purposes to improve our current knowledge of gut development and serum biochemistry in young piglets. This study investigated serum biochemistry, and gut site-specific patterns of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and expression of genes related to barrier function, innate immune response, antioxidative status and sensing of fatty and bile acids in suckling and newly weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of two replicate batches with 10 litters each.
