Article Abstract
Introduction: Postmortem computed tomography (pmCT) prior to forensic autopsy has become increasingly important in recent decades, especially in forensic documentation of single injuries, injury patterns, and causes of death. Postmortem decomposition gas formation can also be detected in pmCT scans, which might affect cochlear implant research in postmortem human temporal bones (TBs).
Material And Methods: Fifty non-putrefied hanging fatalities within a 2-year period (January 2017 to December 2019) were included with 100 TBs. Each body underwent whole-body pmCT prior to forensic autopsy. PmCT scans were analyzed with respect to the presence of intracochlear gas despite the lack of putrefaction at autopsy by an experienced fellow neurotologist.
Results: PmCT revealed gas formation in two individuals despite the lack of head trauma and putrefaction at postmortem examination and autopsy. Both individuals showed enclosed gas in the vestibule and the cochlea on both sides.
Discussion: Intracochlear gas formation, most likely related to decomposition, may occur despite the lack of putrefaction at postmortem examination and autopsy and can be detected by pmCT. This finding seems to be rather rare in non-traumatic death cases but might affect cochlear pressure research in postmortem human TB.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential as versatile platforms for proton conduction. However, the commonly applied 2D COFs that are easy to design and synthesize have only 1D channels for proton conduction, limiting the formation of continuous hydrogen bonds due to the anisotropy between their crystalline grains. Herein, we report a strategy to construct 3D channels in 2D COFs by using rotaxane structures and eliminate the strong interlayer π-π interactions, facilitating the formation of smooth 3D proton-transfer pathways during guest doping.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) dramatically impacts the habitat use of many aquatic animals, particularly for air-breathing animals that rely on 'physical gills' for respiration while submerged. Invertebrates that use bubbles as physical gills directly uptake DO from the water for respiration. However, no vertebrate animals have yet been documented using physical gills.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.

Two series of robust pillared metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are obtained under solvothermal conditions by combining a metal salt with either Hbpdc, biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, or Hpda, 1,4-phenylenediacrylic acid, forming 2D layers, which are pillared by L, an alloxazine derivative of 1,4-di(pyridin-4-yl)benzene using a one-pot three-component strategy. Crystallographic studies reveal the formation of two isomorphous series of compounds, namely 1-M (from Hbpdc with M = Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and 2-M (from Hpda with M = Co or Cu). The multifunctional compounds have high decomposition temperatures, and their sorption properties were measured, revealing relatively low surface areas.

Localized corrosion in metallic materials is a stochastic phenomenon that causes irreversible structural failure. Its initiation, which occurs at the solid-liquid interface on the nanometer scale, remains difficult to predict and challenging to characterize. Herein, we describe an experimental platform that exploits advances in electrochemical liquid-phase scanning and transmission electron microscopy (LPSEM and LPTEM) to study pitting corrosion of thin-film pure aluminum in a saline environment in real time.
