3. Continuous-Flow Synthesis of Zn1–xMnxS Nanoparticles at Ambient Conditions

Author

Borup, Anders B., Bjerre-Christensen, Nanna, Bertelsen, Andreas D., Mamakhel, Aref H., Bondesgaard, Martin, and Iversen, Bo B.

Abstract

With its large direct band gap and good chemical stability, ZnS is suitable for many applications, including light-emitting diodes, panel displays, and photodetection. Here, nanoparticles of ZnS are synthesized phase pure under ambient conditions by precipitation in a simple and scalable continuous-flow reactor. Furthermore, different degrees of Zn substitution with Mn have been investigated, Zn1–xMnxS, with x= 0.05, 0.19, and 0.25 according to X-ray fluorescence measurements. The products are analyzed with multitemperature synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and X-ray total scattering. The analysis reveals phase-pure synthesis products with the sphalerite structure and crystallite sizes in the range of 3.8–4.7 nm in agreement with scanning transmission electron microscopy. Only Zn0.75Mn0.25S shows traces of Mn3O4, indicating that x= 0.25 is above the substitution limit as the impurity appears. Substitution of Zn with Mn in the nanoparticles is confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, as well as an observed decrease in the band gap, decrease in the sphalerite-to-wurtzite phase transition temperature, and increase in the unit cell dimensions with increasing Mn content. Based on the modeling of the PXRD Rietveld refined atomic displacement parameters, the Debye temperature for ZnS and Zn0.95Mn0.05S is determined to be 322 ± 13 and 394 ± 22 K, respectively.

7. Cylinder water entry on a perturbed water surface

Abstract

The perturbations existing on a breaking wavefront can be a potential explanation for the slamming pressure variability in wave impacts. Here, we investigate the effect of these perturbations by forced vertical slamming of a two-dimensional circular cylinder with constant downward velocity on standing waves. Through experimental modelling and numerical simulation, the slamming force is measured for several standing wave amplitudes and wavelengths. The standing wave phase is tuned such that the impact occurs symmetrically at the instant of maximum crest or trough. Our observations show that slamming coefficients vary with the standing wave amplitude when the wavelength is kept constant and vice versa. The trough impact slamming coefficient can be more than two times the flat impact, and up to four times the crest impact. The experimental results are reproduced by numerical simulations and they agree reasonably well in general. Two analytical approaches based on the von Kármán (NACA, vol. 321, 1929, pp. 1-8) and Wagner (Z. Angew. Math. Mech., vol. 12, 1932, pp. 913-215) methods, which consider the effect of water surface curvature, are introduced. The slamming coefficient calculated from these methods can provide a bound in which the slamming coefficient can be found for each standing wave amplitude and wavelength. Further insight is achieved by numerical simulations of impact on the shorter wavelength to diameter ratio of 0.05 < λ/D < 0.4. As the wavelength to diameter ratio becomes smaller, the cylinder impacts the water surface at several locations. As a result, multiple peaks occur, and the trapped air at different locations between the cylinder and the water surface yields oscillations with different frequencies on the slamming coefficient time history.

However, there is limited literature available related to caregiver preference or treatment compliance in real-world clinical settings. To date, no such data are available from Asia and the Middle East, which account for a sizeable proportion of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate treatment preference and compliance with oral and transdermal medications in daily clinical practice in an ethnically diverse patient population from Asia and the Middle East with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease.Patients and methods: RECAP (Real-world Evaluation of Compliance And Preference in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease) was a 24-week, multicenter, prospective, noninterventional study. Two treatment cohorts were observed during the study: oral (cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine) and transdermal (rivastigmine patch). Caregiver preference, physician preference, and patient compliance were evaluated at week 24.Results: A total of 978 of 1,931 enrolled patients (mean age: 72.8 years; 50.5% female) were in the transdermal cohort. For patients with exposure to both oral and transdermal monotherapy (n=330), a significant caregivers’ preference for the transdermal monotherapy was observed (82.7%; P

Abstract

Rubrene is one of the most studied organic semiconductors to date due to its high charge carrier mobility which makes it a potentially applicable compound in modern electronic devices. Previous electronic device characterizations and first principles theoretical calculations assigned the semiconducting properties of rubrene to the presence of a large overlap of the extended π-conjugated core between molecules. We present here the electron density distribution in rubrene at 20 K and at 100 K obtained using a combination of high-resolution X-ray and neutron diffraction data. The topology of the electron density and energies of intermolecular interactions are studied quantitatively. Specifically, the presence of Cπ...Cπ interactions between neighbouring tetracene backbones of the rubrene molecules is experimentally confirmed from a topological analysis of the electron density, Non-Covalent Interaction (NCI) analysis and the calculated interaction energy of molecular dimers. A significant contribution to the lattice energy of the crystal is provided by H—H interactions. The electron density features of H—H bonding, and the interaction energy of molecular dimers connected by H—H interaction clearly demonstrate an importance of these weak interactions in the stabilization of the crystal structure. The quantitative nature of the intermolecular interactions is virtually unchanged between 20 K and 100 K suggesting that any changes in carrier transport at these low temperatures would have a different origin. The obtained experimental results are further supported by theoretical calculations.

Abstract

Tesis Doctoral inédita leída en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Departamento de Lingüística, Lenguas Modernas, Lógica y Fª de la Ciencia y Tª de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada. Fecha de Lectura: 26-07-2022, La presente investigación aborda la imagen de Kuwait en la prensa española, entre los años 1990 y 2017. Como se explica en la introducción, dichas fechas constituyen el inicio y el fin de un periodo histórico clave, cuyos acontecimientos no solo han marcado el desarrollo de la historia interna de Kuwait sino su posicionamiento en el contexto internacional, así como las relaciones bilaterales hispano-kuwaitíes, especialmente las de carácter socio económico. En particular, se analiza el modo en que se articula el discurso informativo sobre Kuwait a través de un análisis comparativo de temáticas, léxico, estructuras sintácticas y esquema del discurso, en un corpus formado por unidades informativas de los periódicos de mayor tirada en España como son ABC, El País, El Mundo y La Vanguardia. De este modo, el análisis propuesto permite reflexionar acerca del concepto de representación, tratado en el marco teórico, y en qué medida la información contenida en las piezas informativas analizadas responde a una interpretación objetiva de la información o si, por el contrario, se rigen por estereotipos conformados por el imaginario colectivo español. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, se ha utilizado una metodología mixta de carácter comparativo, que combina tres tipos de análisis: a) un análisis cuantitativo de 296 noticias publicadas en una franja temporal acotada (1990-2017); b) un análisis cualitativo de cuatro artículos de opinión publicados en la misma franja temporal; y c) un análisis de seis entrevistas a figuras relavantes de las relaciones bilaterales, diplomáticos, periodistas e investigadores. Para el análisis de las unidades informativas se ha aplicado la metodología propia del Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD), la teoría del Frame, la etnografía y la Agenda Setting, a partir de los polos temáticos principales. Se presentan gráficos como muestra del análisis cuantitativo, que representan los temas, las fuentes, los géneros periodísticos y las secciones en el periódico. Se desarrolla el análisis cualitativo de contenidos y la conclusión de la comparativa entre los temas que coinciden en el análisis cualitativo, cuantitativo y en las entrevistas. El resultado muestra qué polos informativos son relevantes en la construcción del discurso mediático sobre Kuwait

Ciencias Sociales
Abstract

Desde las Ciencias Sociales, es conocido que la forma en la que concebimos nuestro entorno y lo que sucede en él tiene un efecto en nuestra forma de actuar y, en términos generales, en nuestras vidas. Es por ello que el estudio de estas concepciones ha suscitado el interés de los investigadores a través del tiempo, puesto que permite tener nociones sobre la causalidad de los eventos que suceden cotidianamente. Además, recoger estos puntos de vista posibilita entender el porqué de hechos pasados y anticipar cómo es que pueden presentarse a futuro. En ese sentido, la presente edición recoge trabajos académicos que abordan la perspectiva de una serie de fenómenos relacionados con las Ciencias Sociales desde los actores involucrados, tanto en la realidad latinoamericana como de España. Así, a pesar de las distancias que nos separan, el constante interés por conocer más y el idioma común nos enlazan. De este modo, paso a presentar brevemente los artículos que encontrarán en la presente edición de Social Innova Sciences.

Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the characteristics of arthritis, arthralgia and musculoskeletal pain after chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Materials and Methods: In this study, we evaluate the characteristics of 17 patients with joint symptoms following receiving chemotherapy for lung cancer. Demographic information of patients including sex, age, time of rheumatologic findings after starting of chemotherapy, time of improvement after starting of medication, and relevant laboratory findings for each patient. Results: A total of seventeen patients (six women with mean age 41.2 ± 5.2 years and 11 men with mean age 42.5 ± 8.2) that received standard chemotherapy for lung cancer according to stage of disease. Joint symptoms usually began about seven months after the first session of chemotherapy. Patients had an average of two tender joints and 1 hr of morning stiffness. Four patients were positive for anti-nuclear antibody, and none of patient was positive for rheumatoid factor. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD), corticosteroids, and venlafaxine were prescribed. Four patients did not show an improvement. Follow-up was available for all patients. 11 patients showed favorable responses, characterized by a significant decrease (more than 50%) in morning stiffness, pain, and tender joint counts after a mean of three months′ treatment. Two patients had complete resolution of symptoms and did not required further medications for arthritis, arthralgia or musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion: Chemotherapy-related arthropathy in lung cancer is not uncommon. Early treatment with NSAID, DMARD, and corticosteroids is effective in the majority of patients.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: Stroke is reported as a consequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in several reports. However, data are sparse regarding the details of these patients in a multinational and large scale. Methods: We conducted a multinational observational study on features of consecutive acute ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and cerebral venous or sinus thrombosis among SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. We further investigated the risk of large vessel occlusion, stroke severity as measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and stroke subtype as measured by the TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) criteria among patients with acute ischemic stroke. In addition, we explored the neuroimaging findings, features of patients who were asymptomatic for SARS-CoV-2 infection at stroke onset, and the impact of geographic regions and countries' health expenditure on outcomes. Results: Among the 136 tertiary centers of 32 countries who participated in this study, 71 centers from 17 countries had at least 1 eligible stroke patient. Of 432 patients included, 323 (74.8%) had acute ischemic stroke, 91 (21.1%) intracranial hemorrhage, and 18 (4.2%) cerebral venous or sinus thrombosis. A total of 183 (42.4%) patients were women, 104 (24.1%) patients were

Abstract

Background: Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease and improving human wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important to inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of access to drinking water and sanitation facilities. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model and data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) to estimate access to drinking water and sanitation facilities on continuous continent-wide surfaces from 2000 to 2017, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. We estimated mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subcategories of facilities for drinking water (piped water on or off premises, other improved facilities, unimproved, and surface water) and sanitation facilities (septic or sewer sanitation, other improved, unimproved, and open defecation) with use of ordinal regression. We also estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths in children younger than 5 years attributed to unsafe facilities and estimated deaths that were averted by increased access to safe facilities in 2017, and analysed geographical inequality in access within LMICs. Findings: Across LMICs, access to both piped water and improved water overall increased between 2000 and 2017, with progress varying spatially. For piped water, the safest water facility type, access increased from 40·0% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 39·4–40·7) to 50·3% (50·0–50·5), but was lowest in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to piped water was mostly concentrated in urban centres. Access to both sewer or septic sanitation and improved sanitation overall also increased across all LMICs during the study period. For sewer or septic sanitation, access was 46·3% (95% UI 46·1–46·5) in 2017, compared with 28·7% (28·5–29·0)

Abstract

Background: Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according to UNICEF estimates, less than half of children younger than 5 years with diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS in 2016. A variety of recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative forms of ORT; however, it is unclear whether RHF prevent child mortality. Previous studies have shown considerable variation between countries in ORS and RHF use, but subnational variation is unknown. This study aims to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of relative and absolute coverage of ORS, RHF, and ORT (use of either ORS or RHF) in LMICs. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model including 15 spatial covariates and data from 385 household surveys across 94 LMICs to estimate annual proportions of children younger than 5 years of age with diarrhoea who received ORS or RHF (or both) on continuous continent-wide surfaces in 2000–17, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. Additionally, we analysed geographical inequality in coverage across administrative units and estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths averted by increased coverage over the study period. Uncertainty in the mean coverage estimates was calculated by taking 250 draws from the posterior joint distribution of the model and creating uncertainty intervals (UIs) with the 2·5th and 97·5th percentiles of those 250 draws. Findings: While ORS use among children with diarrhoea increased in some countries from 2000 to 2017, coverage remained below 50% in the majority (62·6%; 12 417 of 19 823) of second administrative-level units and an estimated 6 519 000 children (95% UI 5 254 000–7 733 000) with diarrhoea were not treated with any form of ORT in 2017. Increases in ORS use corresponded with declines in RHF in many locations, resulting in relatively constant overall O

Abstract

Background and methods: Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke in the Middle-East and North African (MENA) countries is still confined to the main urban and university hospitals. This was a prospective observational study to examine outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis-treated stroke patients in the MENA region compared to the non-MENA stroke cohort in the SITS International Registry. Results: Of 32,160 patients with ischemic stroke registered using the SITS intravenous thrombolysis protocol between June 2014 and May 2016, 500 (1.6%) were recruited in MENA. Compared to non-MENA (all p < 0.001), median age in MENA was 55 versus 73 years, NIH Stroke Scale score 12 versus 9, onset-to-treatment time 138 versus 155 min and door-to-needle time 54 min versus 64 min. Hypertension was the most reported risk factor, but lower in MENA (51.7 vs. 69.7%). Diabetes was more frequent in MENA (28.5 vs. 20.8%) as well as smoking (20.8 vs. 15.9%). Hyperlipidemia was less observed in MENA (17.6 vs. 29.3%). Functional independence (mRS 0–2) at seven days or discharge was similar (53% vs. 52% in non-MENA), with mortality slightly lower in MENA (2.3% vs. 4.8%). SICH rates by SITS-MOST definition were low (<1.4%) in both groups. Conclusions: Intravenous thrombolysis patients in MENA were younger, had more severe strokes and more often diabetes. Although stroke severity was higher in MENA, short-term functional independency and mortality were not worse compared to non-MENA, which could partly be explained by younger age and shorter OTT in MENA. Decreasing the burden of stroke in this young population should be prioritized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Recently, a large number of nanostructured metal‐containing materials have been developed for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR). However, it remains a challenge to achieve high activity and selectivity with respect to the metal load due to the limited concentration of surface metal atoms. Here, it is reported that the bismuth‐based metal–organic framework Bi(1,3,5‐tris(4‐carboxyphenyl)benzene), herein denoted Bi(btb), works as a precatalyst and undergoes a structural rearrangement at reducing potentials to form highly active and selective catalytic Bi‐based nanoparticles dispersed in a porous organic matrix. The structural change is investigated by electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, total scattering, and spectroscopic techniques. Due to the periodic arrangement of Bi cations in highly porous Bi(btb), the in situ formed Bi nanoparticles are well‐dispersed and hence highly exposed for surface catalytic reactions. As a result, high selectivity over a broad potential range in the eCO2RR toward formate production with a Faradaic efficiency up to 95(3)% is achieved. Moreover, a large current density with respect to the Bi load, i.e., a mass activity, up to 261(13) A g−1 is achieved, thereby outperforming most other nanostructured Bi materials.
