Chennai, a major industrial hub in southeastern India, faces significant environmental challenges, including trace metal pollution in fluvial sediments. Previous studies on sedimentary trace metal dynamics in Chennai have predominantly relied on enrichment relative to global means, as no local reference level is available. However, this approach may lead to misjudgment because (a) the underlying enrichment processes are not considered, and (b) local background concentrations may be lower than global averages, masking true enrichment signals.

We report the first, to our knowledge, demonstration of a 980-nm highly GeO-doped fiber Raman laser directly pumped by a multimode laser diode (LD). This laser consists of a 940-nm multimode LD pump, a double-clad highly GeO-doped fiber, and wavelength-selective dielectric mirrors deposited on fiber end facets. The highly GeO-doped fiber is self-designed with a 25/65/125-μm (core/inner/outer-cladding) structure and 42 mol.

School of Basic Medicine, North China University of Science and Technology, Hebei Key Laboratory of Basic Medicine of Chronic Disease, Tangshan Key Laboratory of Clinical Basic Research on Chronic Diseases of the Elderly, Tangshan 063210, China.

Objective: To explore the relationship between heat shock protein 27(HSP27) and Janus kinase 2(JAK2), Recombinant signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) related factors, To further explore the mechanism of silicosis fibrosis and potential therapeutic targets.

Methods: The gene expression profile microarray(GSE110147) of a patient with pulmonary fibrosis was obtained from the gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database, and the HSP27 high expression was set and the genes related to apoptosis pathway were screened out. The STRING online database was used to construct the key gene target map, and the protein interaction network(PPI) was constructed by Cytoscape.

Germanium/tin-containing silicon oxide [SiO-(GeO/SnO)] nanoclusters have been designed with different Si/Ge/Sn particles and characterized as electrodes for magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) due to forming MgBe [SiO-GeO], MgBe [SiO-SnO], MgCa [SiO-GeO], and MgCa [SiO-SnO] complexes. In this work, alkaline earth metals of magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and calcium (Ca) have been studied in hybrid Mg-, Be-, and Ca-ion batteries. An expanded investigation on H capture by MgBe [SiO-(GeO/SnO)] or MgCa [SiO-(GeO/SnO)] complexes was probed using computational approaches due to density state analysis of charge density differences (CDD), total density of states (TDOS), and electron localization function (ELF) for hydrogenated hybrid clusters of MgBe [SiO-GeO], MgBe [SiO-SnO], MgCa [SiO-GeO], and MgCa [SiO-SnO].

Pressure-induced tetrahedral-octahedral transitions have been one of the central topics in high-pressure research due to the importance of SiOand GeOglasses in condensed matter physics and geosciences. However, the existence and role of the fivefold coordinated structural unit remains elusive. While accurate determination of the different polyhedral structures in the glasses in high-pressure experiments is a formidable challenge, we have performed a comprehensivemolecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation and the results agree well with the local structure determined by HP-XAFS experiments.
