abstract = {Honey bees play a pivotal role in shaping ecosystems and sustaining human health as both pollinators and producers of health-promoting products. However, honey bee colony mortality is on the rise globally, driven by various factors, including parasites, pesticides, habitat loss, poor nutrition, and climate change. This has far-reaching consequences for the environment, economy, and human welfare. While efforts to address these issues are underway, the current progress in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instrumentation affords using the immense potential of this magnetic resonance technique to study small samples such as honey bees. This paper presents the pioneering 2D in vivo EPR imaging experiment on a honey bee, revealing the ongoing redox-status of bees’ intestines. This way, by monitoring the spatio-temporal changes of the redox-active spin-probes’ EPR signal, it is possible to gain access to valuable information on the course of ongoing bees’ pathologies and the prospect of following-up on the efficiency of applied therapies. Employing a selection of diverse spin-probes could further reveal pH levels and oxygen concentrations in bee tissues, allowing a noninvasive assessment of bee physiology. This approach offers promising strategies for safeguarding pollinators and understanding their biology, fostering their well-being and ecological harmony. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.},

abstract = {Porous carbon fibers play a pivotal role in electrochemistry due to their unique structural and textural properties, offering a promising avenue for diverse applications ranging from energy storage to electrocatalysis. In this study, we investigate the intricate relationship between the electrochemical responses of porous carbon fibers synthesized using the Design of Experiments protocol and their textural properties, aiming to elucidate key insights for material design and optimization. Through comprehensive correlation analyses, we uncover notable associations between oxygen reduction reaction mass activities and capacitances measured at different polarization rates, highlighting the significance of pore accessibility in dictating electrochemical performance. While direct correlations with specific surface area and total pore volume for mass activities were not observed, our findings reveal significant trends regarding capacitance retention. Specifically, materials with an elevated specific surface area and total pore volume demonstrate enhanced capacitance retention, particularly under varying charging and discharging rates. These results underscore the importance of optimizing specific surface area and pore volume to maximize capacitive performance across diverse operating conditions. Our study provides valuable guidance for developing porous carbon fibers tailored for superior electrochemical performance in various applications. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {M4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) specific family has appeared as a new class of polyanionic compounds for sodium-ion batteries, capable of offering a higher operating voltage than individual phosphates and pyrophosphates. The study addresses the issue of Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP) sol-gel synthesis when both phosphates and pyrophosphates act as reactants, leading to successful production of NFPP under controlled synthesis conditions, capable of reaching the theoretical capacity. Spontaneous citric-assisted sol-gel reaction, between PO43− and P2O72− units occurring at pH of 3 (which follows NFPP stoichiometry), leads to the formation of pyrophosphate (Na2FeP2O7, NFP) with a certain amount of the mixed phase. Fe-oxalate coordination is dominant at low pH while the citric acid protonation suppresses direct Fe-citric complexation. pH adjustment to a neutral value changes the complexation and reaction pathway, allowing direct Fe(II)-citric coordination and subsequent oxidation. The exchange of Fe-oxalate with the soluble ferric ammonium citrate complex happens under neutral pH and therefore leads to the formation of NFPP as the dominant phase, liberated from NFP. Furthermore, a series of samples, developed by varying citric-to-Fe molar ratio and controlling pH, served as a platform to identify and solve problems regarding the unambiguous FTIR assignment of the polyanionic NFP/NFPP mixture. FTIR and CV methods are proposed as assisting tools for XRD to identify NFP admixture. Finally, and most importantly, NFPP phase formed under neutral pH has a higher sodiation/desodiation capacity than NFPP/NFP heterostructure, reaching a theoretical value at a rather high current of 1 A g−1, which has not been attained in the literature. © 2023},

abstract = {The photo-catalytic reduction of CO2 into chemical feedstocks using solar energy has attracted vast interest in environmental science because of global warming. Based on our previous study on the CO2 complex with one of the benzimidazoline (BI) derivatives, we explore the photochemical reduction of CO2 in one of the benzimidazoline derivatives (1,3-dimethyl-5,6-diol-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole) by quantum-chemical methods. Our results reveal that carbon dioxide can be reduced to formate (HCOO−) by a hydride transfer reaction in the excited state of this complex of benzimidazoline derivative and CO2. While the ground-state hydride transfer reaction in this complex exhibits a substantial barrier, a charge-transfer can occur in the first singlet excited state of the complex in the UV-A region (326 nm), and after overcoming a moderate barrier (∼0.4 eV) the system can have access to the products. The interaction with a polar solvent decreases further the barrier such that the reaction in dimethyl sulfoxide can proceed with a negligibly small barrier (∼0.1 eV) or in a nearly barrierless manner. Our results show that this benzimidazoline derivative may act as a catalyst in the photoreduction of CO2 © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.},

abstract = {This paper presents a study and comparison of surface effects induced by picosecond and nanosecond laser modification of a Ti6Al4V alloy surface under different ambient conditions: air and argon- and nitrogen-rich atmospheres. Detailed surface characterization was performed for all experimental conditions. Damage threshold fluences for picosecond and nanosecond laser irradiation in all three ambient conditions were determined. The observed surface features were a resolidified pool of molten material, craters, hydrodynamic effects and parallel periodic surface structures. Laser-induced periodic surface structures are formed by multi-mode-beam nanosecond laser action and picosecond laser action. Crown-like structures at crater rims are specific features for picosecond Nd:YAG laser action in argon-rich ambient conditions. Elemental analysis of the surfaces indicated nitride compound formation only in the nitrogen-rich ambient conditions. The constituents of the formed plasma were also investigated. Exploring the impact of process control parameters on output responses has been undertaken within the context of laser modification under different environmental conditions. Parametric optimization of the nanosecond laser modification was carried out by implementing an advanced method based on Taguchi’s parametric design and multivariate statistical techniques, and optimal settings are proposed for each atmosphere. © 2023 by the authors.},

abstract = {This study proposes inexpensive antimicrobial polyaniline-titanium oxide (PANI-TiO2) samples prepared through eco-friendly enhanced microwave (MW) synthesis with 93 W applied over 10 min in aqueous 1.25 M hydrochloric acid media (HCl) using potassium iodate (KIO3) as oxidising agent, an approach suitable for industrial scale up production of PANI polymers at room temperature. The PANI-TiO2 samples are produced in the presence of 5–20 wt% of TiO2 in the initial reaction mixture along with aniline monomer by both the enhanced MW method and a classical chemical synthesis (CS) method at room temperature. The nanocomposites showed lower conductivity than pure PANI, slightly higher conductivity was observed in the MW prepared PANI-TiO2 in comparison to CS prepared PANI-TiO2. This result can be correlated with the observation that the optical absorbance of MW PANI-TiO2 samples were notable higher than for CS PANI-TiO2, which may be due to the presence of a greater amount of polarons present in the samples prepared by the enhanced MW method. MW PANI-TiO2 samples were equally active against both Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria, in contrast to the CS PANI-TiO2 samples, which could be due to presence of short-chain fragments in the CS samples as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The incorporation of PANI particles in TiO2 showed enhanced antimicrobial activity compared to pure TiO2, with greater antifungal activity. Our study indicates that a facile, low-cost, and green enhanced MW method can be used for preparation of the advanced antimicrobial PANI-TiO2 nanocomposites for biomedical applications. © 2024 The Authors},

Besides the synergistic effect of alloying elements, recent attention is drawn to the Mo leaching from the catalyst. This work investigates the role of Mo in NiMo alloys during HER, aiming to understand the interplay between compositional, structural, and electronic factors on the activity, and their effects on the electrode material and catalyst properties. For this purpose, sputter-deposited low roughness NixMo100-x thin films are produced. The investigation of catalyst performance depending on their chemical composition shows a volcano-shaped plot, peaking for the Ni65Mo35 alloy with the highest intrinsic activity in alkaline HER. A comprehensive electrode surface analysis combining transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy identifies the leaching of Mo on a structural level and indicates the formation of a Ni(OH)2-rich surface area. The ultimate surface characteristics of the NiMo catalysts depend on the initial composition and the electrochemical procedure. Based on the findings, it conclude that the observed catalytic properties of NiMo alloys in HER are determined by a complex interplay of increasing roughness, available surface species and their synergies. The leaching of Mo has a proven structural effect and is considered one of several factors contributing to the enhanced catalyst activity. © 2024 The Author(s).

abstract = {Background: The burden and disability associated with headaches are conceptualized and measured differently at patients’ and populations’ levels. At the patients’ level, through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs); at population level, through disability weights (DW) and years lived with a disability (YLDs) developed by the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). DW are 0–1 coefficients that address health loss and have been defined through lay descriptions. With this literature review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of disability in headache disorders, and to present a coefficient referring to patients’ disability which might inform future GBD definitions of DW for headache disorders. Methods: We searched SCOPUS and PubMed for papers published between 2015 and 2023 addressing disability in headache disorders. The selected manuscript included a reference to headache frequency and at least one PROM. A meta-analytic approach was carried out to address relevant differences for the most commonly used PROMs (by headache type, tertiles of medication intake, tertiles of females’ percentage in the sample, and age). We developed a 0–1 coefficient based on the MIDAS, on the HIT-6, and on MIDAS + HIT-6 which was intended to promote future DW iterations by the GBD consortium. Results: A total of 366 studies, 596 sub-samples, and more than 133,000 single patients were available, mostly referred to cases with migraine. Almost all PROMs showed the ability to differentiate disability severity across conditions and tertiles of medication intake. The indexes we developed can be used to inform future iterations of DW, in particular considering their ability to differentiate across age and tertiles of medication intake. Conclusions: Our review provides reference values for the most commonly used PROMS and a data-driven coefficient whose main added value is its ability to differentiate across tertiles of age and medication intake which underlie on one side the increased burden due to aging (it is likely connected to the increased impact of common comorbidities), and by the other side the increased burden due to medication consumption, which can be considered as a proxy for headache severity. Both elements should be considered when describing disability of headache disorders at population levels. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the REY-associated ecological and health risks were assessed. The individual REYs in CFA were abundant in the following order: Ce > La > Nd > Y > Pr > Gd > Sm > Dy > Er > Yb > Eu > Ho > Tb > Tm > Lu. The total REY content ranged from 135 to 362 mg/kg, averaging 302 mg/kg. The mean light-to-heavy REY ratio was 4.1, indicating prevalent light REY enrichment in CFA. Significantly positive correlations between the REYs suggested that they coexist and share similar origins in CFA. REYs were estimated to pose low to moderate ecological risks, with risk index (RI) values ranging from 66 to 245. The hazard index (HI) and target cancer risk (TCR) of REYs from CFA, estimated to be higher for children (HIc = 0.15},

abstract = {Due to their high hardness, excellent redox ability, good corrosion resistance and catalytic abilities, the materials with high content of crystalline Ni3P phase are promising candidates for application in various fields. In this work, amorphous and amorphous/nanocrystalline Ni–P powder alloys-precursors were prepared by chemical reduction, and further subjected to crystallization process to obtain Ni3P-rich alloys. Two different Ni–P alloys-precursors (“1” and “2”) were prepared using different reactant ratios. Applying DTA and XRD techniques, the range of thermal stability and thermally induced microstructural transformations of individual Ni–P alloys (precursors of Ni3P-rich alloys) were studied. SEM analysis allowed evaluation of particle size distribution for individual Ni–P samples. Microstructure of the as-prepared and thermally treated samples and mechanism of thermally induced transformations, including the phase composition of completely crystallized material, exhibited significant dependence on the reactant ratio used in the synthesis. Kinetic triplets of individual crystallization steps were deduced by processing the DTA curves, including deconvolution of complex crystallization peaks. Although exhibiting somewhat higher Ni3P crystallization Ea than the Ni–P alloy 1, the Ni–P alloy 2, obtained by use of larger amount of the reducing agent, gave greater content of the Ni3P phase in the crystallized material, around 90% (mass).

abstract = {The hybrid inorganic–organic compounds, RE-thioglycolates (RE = Ce, Nd, Sm), were analyzed as effective green corrosion inhibitors of AA2024 alloy in 0.1 M NaCl solution. Utilizing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy the protective inhibitory film on the alloy's surface was affirmed, alongside the persistence of a natural oxide layer over time. These complexes demonstrated notable corrosion inhibition efficiency over immersion from 1 h to 3 days, with Sm-thiog retaining the high inhibition efficiency of over 95 % during 72 h. All RE-thioglycolates are mixed-type inhibitors, imparting resistance against both general and pitting corrosion. The presence of a protective inhibitory film on the AA2024 surface in NaCl solution has been substantiated through various analytical techniques including FTIR, SEM/EDS and XPS. A detailed examination of the differential inhibition exhibited by these bifunctional complexes is elucidated through theoretical calculations. The smallest difference of HOMO and LUMO orbitals for Sm-thiog of 3.21 eV indicates that this inhibitor attains the strongest donor–acceptor interactions with the metal surface. Predictions generated by Density Functional Theory/Molecular Dynamics simulations suggest the potential formation of diverse inhibitory species within the electrolyte. The corrosion inhibition mechanism proposed for RE-thioglycolates is grounded in electrochemical and theoretical insights, and subsequently validated through surface analysis methods. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.},

The research focuses on analyzing the catalytic efficiency of these activators under varying conditions, including temperature and current density variations. Key findings reveal that the Co–Mo–W activator enhances HER performance, with a significant 17% reduction in energy consumption compared to plain electrolyte, mirroring the efficiency of Co–Mo. Tafel analysis gave the insight of the reaction mechanism for HER for all activators, with Co–Mo–W exhibiting a lower Tafel slope, suggesting improved catalytic activity. Structural and morphological analysis of electrode coatings shows a highly developed surface for Co–Mo–W, with a roughness factor similar to or slightly lower than the most developed Co–Mo coating. The study concludes that the synergistic combination of Co, Mo, and W in a tri-component ionic activator offers a promising catalytic activity for HER, outperforming bi-component systems and presenting significant potential for industrial-scale alkaline water electrolysis applications. © 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC},

Five POMs containing transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, or Cu) were prepared and combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Kenning structure of POMs with nanolamellae-like morphology and multi-layered graphene sheets of rGO were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy analysis. Different POM:rGO ratios were tested to optimize the composition, and a ratio of 1:5 Ni-POM:rGO was found to be the most electrocatalytically active for OER (Tafel slope as low as 42 mV dec−1, overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 of 354 mV and current density at 400 mV overpotential as high as 83.4 mA cm−2), notably better than IrO2. As for ORR, Co-POM/rGO carried the lowest Tafel slope of 165 mV dec−1, half-wave potential of 0.711 V and a mixed 2- and 4-electron ORR mechanism.

Testing of individual components of composites, PANI-ES, PANI-EB, and MOF-5, was also performed for comparison. Materials are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), and their electrochemical behavior was discussed in terms of their zeta potential, structural, morphology, and textural properties. All examined composites showed high electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of Cd and Pb to Cd2+ and Pb2+, respectively. The MOF/EB-1 composite (71.0 wt.% MOF-5) gave the highest oxidation currents during both individual and simultaneous detection of two heavy metal ions. Current densities recorded with MOF/EB-1 were also higher than those of its individual components, reflecting the synergistic effect where MOF-5 offers high surface area for two heavy metals adsorption and PANI offers a network for electron transfer during metals’ subsequent oxidation. Limits of detection using MOF/EB-1 electrode for Cd2+ and Pb2+ sensing were found to be as low as 0.077 ppm and 0.033 ppm, respectively. Moreover, the well-defined and intense peaks of Cd oxidation to Cd2+ and somewhat lower peaks of Pb oxidation to Pb2+ were observed at voltammograms obtained for the Danube River as a real sample with no pretreatment, which implies that herein tested MOF-5/PANI electrodes could be used as electrochemical sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions in the real water samples. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {Honey bees play a pivotal role in shaping ecosystems and sustaining human health as both pollinators and producers of health-promoting products. However, honey bee colony mortality is on the rise globally, driven by various factors, including parasites, pesticides, habitat loss, poor nutrition, and climate change. This has far-reaching consequences for the environment, economy, and human welfare. While efforts to address these issues are underway, the current progress in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instrumentation affords using the immense potential of this magnetic resonance technique to study small samples such as honey bees. This paper presents the pioneering 2D in vivo EPR imaging experiment on a honey bee, revealing the ongoing redox-status of bees’ intestines. This way, by monitoring the spatio-temporal changes of the redox-active spin-probes’ EPR signal, it is possible to gain access to valuable information on the course of ongoing bees’ pathologies and the prospect of following-up on the efficiency of applied therapies. Employing a selection of diverse spin-probes could further reveal pH levels and oxygen concentrations in bee tissues, allowing a noninvasive assessment of bee physiology. This approach offers promising strategies for safeguarding pollinators and understanding their biology, fostering their well-being and ecological harmony. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.},

In this study, we investigate the intricate relationship between the electrochemical responses of porous carbon fibers synthesized using the Design of Experiments protocol and their textural properties, aiming to elucidate key insights for material design and optimization. Through comprehensive correlation analyses, we uncover notable associations between oxygen reduction reaction mass activities and capacitances measured at different polarization rates, highlighting the significance of pore accessibility in dictating electrochemical performance. While direct correlations with specific surface area and total pore volume for mass activities were not observed, our findings reveal significant trends regarding capacitance retention. Specifically, materials with an elevated specific surface area and total pore volume demonstrate enhanced capacitance retention, particularly under varying charging and discharging rates. These results underscore the importance of optimizing specific surface area and pore volume to maximize capacitive performance across diverse operating conditions.

abstract = {M4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) specific family has appeared as a new class of polyanionic compounds for sodium-ion batteries, capable of offering a higher operating voltage than individual phosphates and pyrophosphates. The study addresses the issue of Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP) sol-gel synthesis when both phosphates and pyrophosphates act as reactants, leading to successful production of NFPP under controlled synthesis conditions, capable of reaching the theoretical capacity. Spontaneous citric-assisted sol-gel reaction, between PO43− and P2O72− units occurring at pH of 3 (which follows NFPP stoichiometry), leads to the formation of pyrophosphate (Na2FeP2O7, NFP) with a certain amount of the mixed phase. Fe-oxalate coordination is dominant at low pH while the citric acid protonation suppresses direct Fe-citric complexation. pH adjustment to a neutral value changes the complexation and reaction pathway, allowing direct Fe(II)-citric coordination and subsequent oxidation. The exchange of Fe-oxalate with the soluble ferric ammonium citrate complex happens under neutral pH and therefore leads to the formation of NFPP as the dominant phase, liberated from NFP. Furthermore, a series of samples, developed by varying citric-to-Fe molar ratio and controlling pH, served as a platform to identify and solve problems regarding the unambiguous FTIR assignment of the polyanionic NFP/NFPP mixture. FTIR and CV methods are proposed as assisting tools for XRD to identify NFP admixture. Finally, and most importantly, NFPP phase formed under neutral pH has a higher sodiation/desodiation capacity than NFPP/NFP heterostructure, reaching a theoretical value at a rather high current of 1 A g−1, which has not been attained in the literature. © 2023},

Our results reveal that carbon dioxide can be reduced to formate (HCOO−) by a hydride transfer reaction in the excited state of this complex of benzimidazoline derivative and CO2. While the ground-state hydride transfer reaction in this complex exhibits a substantial barrier, a charge-transfer can occur in the first singlet excited state of the complex in the UV-A region (326 nm), and after overcoming a moderate barrier (∼0.4 eV) the system can have access to the products. The interaction with a polar solvent decreases further the barrier such that the reaction in dimethyl sulfoxide can proceed with a negligibly small barrier (∼0.1 eV) or in a nearly barrierless manner.

Detailed surface characterization was performed for all experimental conditions. Damage threshold fluences for picosecond and nanosecond laser irradiation in all three ambient conditions were determined. The observed surface features were a resolidified pool of molten material, craters, hydrodynamic effects and parallel periodic surface structures. Laser-induced periodic surface structures are formed by multi-mode-beam nanosecond laser action and picosecond laser action. Crown-like structures at crater rims are specific features for picosecond Nd:YAG laser action in argon-rich ambient conditions. Elemental analysis of the surfaces indicated nitride compound formation only in the nitrogen-rich ambient conditions. The constituents of the formed plasma were also investigated. Exploring the impact of process control parameters on output responses has been undertaken within the context of laser modification under different environmental conditions. Parametric optimization of the nanosecond laser modification was carried out by implementing an advanced method based on Taguchi’s parametric design and multivariate statistical techniques, and optimal settings are proposed for each atmosphere. © 2023 by the authors.},

abstract = {This study proposes inexpensive antimicrobial polyaniline-titanium oxide (PANI-TiO2) samples prepared through eco-friendly enhanced microwave (MW) synthesis with 93 W applied over 10 min in aqueous 1.25 M hydrochloric acid media (HCl) using potassium iodate (KIO3) as oxidising agent, an approach suitable for industrial scale up production of PANI polymers at room temperature. The PANI-TiO2 samples are produced in the presence of 5–20 wt% of TiO2 in the initial reaction mixture along with aniline monomer by both the enhanced MW method and a classical chemical synthesis (CS) method at room temperature. The nanocomposites showed lower conductivity than pure PANI, slightly higher conductivity was observed in the MW prepared PANI-TiO2 in comparison to CS prepared PANI-TiO2. This result can be correlated with the observation that the optical absorbance of MW PANI-TiO2 samples were notable higher than for CS PANI-TiO2, which may be due to the presence of a greater amount of polarons present in the samples prepared by the enhanced MW method. MW PANI-TiO2 samples were equally active against both Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria, in contrast to the CS PANI-TiO2 samples, which could be due to presence of short-chain fragments in the CS samples as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The incorporation of PANI particles in TiO2 showed enhanced antimicrobial activity compared to pure TiO2, with greater antifungal activity. Our study indicates that a facile, low-cost, and green enhanced MW method can be used for preparation of the advanced antimicrobial PANI-TiO2 nanocomposites for biomedical applications. © 2024 The Authors},

abstract = {NiMo alloys are considered highly promising non-noble Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) catalysts. Besides the synergistic effect of alloying elements, recent attention is drawn to the Mo leaching from the catalyst. This work investigates the role of Mo in NiMo alloys during HER, aiming to understand the interplay between compositional, structural, and electronic factors on the activity, and their effects on the electrode material and catalyst properties. For this purpose, sputter-deposited low roughness NixMo100-x thin films are produced. The investigation of catalyst performance depending on their chemical composition shows a volcano-shaped plot, peaking for the Ni65Mo35 alloy with the highest intrinsic activity in alkaline HER. A comprehensive electrode surface analysis combining transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy identifies the leaching of Mo on a structural level and indicates the formation of a Ni(OH)2-rich surface area. The ultimate surface characteristics of the NiMo catalysts depend on the initial composition and the electrochemical procedure. Based on the findings, it conclude that the observed catalytic properties of NiMo alloys in HER are determined by a complex interplay of increasing roughness, available surface species and their synergies. The leaching of Mo has a proven structural effect and is considered one of several factors contributing to the enhanced catalyst activity. © 2024 The Author(s).

Swelling properties, zinc concentration and spectroscopic and morphological features were characterized and related to their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. These results indicate a dependence of swelling on the degree of cross-linking, which, in turn, can be adjusted by manipulating the synthesis time, initial alginate concentration and/or zinc leaching. Hydrogel films with zinc showed remarkable antibacterial properties, especially against gram-positive bacteria. The absence of Zn resulted in less inhibition of gram-positive strains, although it had a positive effect on the inhibition of gram-negative strains, which was attributed to the degradation of alginate chains, affecting cell metabolism. Nitrogen-doped samples synthesized in rivanol-containing solution exhibited globular morphology and higher antioxidant activity.

abstract = {Background: The burden and disability associated with headaches are conceptualized and measured differently at patients’ and populations’ levels. At the patients’ level, through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs); at population level, through disability weights (DW) and years lived with a disability (YLDs) developed by the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). DW are 0–1 coefficients that address health loss and have been defined through lay descriptions. With this literature review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of disability in headache disorders, and to present a coefficient referring to patients’ disability which might inform future GBD definitions of DW for headache disorders. Methods: We searched SCOPUS and PubMed for papers published between 2015 and 2023 addressing disability in headache disorders. The selected manuscript included a reference to headache frequency and at least one PROM. A meta-analytic approach was carried out to address relevant differences for the most commonly used PROMs (by headache type, tertiles of medication intake, tertiles of females’ percentage in the sample, and age). We developed a 0–1 coefficient based on the MIDAS, on the HIT-6, and on MIDAS + HIT-6 which was intended to promote future DW iterations by the GBD consortium. Results: A total of 366 studies, 596 sub-samples, and more than 133,000 single patients were available, mostly referred to cases with migraine. Almost all PROMs showed the ability to differentiate disability severity across conditions and tertiles of medication intake. The indexes we developed can be used to inform future iterations of DW, in particular considering their ability to differentiate across age and tertiles of medication intake. Conclusions: Our review provides reference values for the most commonly used PROMS and a data-driven coefficient whose main added value is its ability to differentiate across tertiles of age and medication intake which underlie on one side the increased burden due to aging (it is likely connected to the increased impact of common comorbidities), and by the other side the increased burden due to medication consumption, which can be considered as a proxy for headache severity. Both elements should be considered when describing disability of headache disorders at population levels. © The Author(s) 2024.},

In this work, amorphous and amorphous/nanocrystalline Ni–P powder alloys-precursors were prepared by chemical reduction, and further subjected to crystallization process to obtain Ni3P-rich alloys. Two different Ni–P alloys-precursors (“1” and “2”) were prepared using different reactant ratios. Applying DTA and XRD techniques, the range of thermal stability and thermally induced microstructural transformations of individual Ni–P alloys (precursors of Ni3P-rich alloys) were studied. SEM analysis allowed evaluation of particle size distribution for individual Ni–P samples. Microstructure of the as-prepared and thermally treated samples and mechanism of thermally induced transformations, including the phase composition of completely crystallized material, exhibited significant dependence on the reactant ratio used in the synthesis. Kinetic triplets of individual crystallization steps were deduced by processing the DTA curves, including deconvolution of complex crystallization peaks. Although exhibiting somewhat higher Ni3P crystallization Ea than the Ni–P alloy 1, the Ni–P alloy 2, obtained by use of larger amount of the reducing agent, gave greater content of the Ni3P phase in the crystallized material, around 90% (mass).

abstract = {The hybrid inorganic–organic compounds, RE-thioglycolates (RE = Ce, Nd, Sm), were analyzed as effective green corrosion inhibitors of AA2024 alloy in 0.1 M NaCl solution. Utilizing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy the protective inhibitory film on the alloy's surface was affirmed, alongside the persistence of a natural oxide layer over time. These complexes demonstrated notable corrosion inhibition efficiency over immersion from 1 h to 3 days, with Sm-thiog retaining the high inhibition efficiency of over 95 % during 72 h. All RE-thioglycolates are mixed-type inhibitors, imparting resistance against both general and pitting corrosion. The presence of a protective inhibitory film on the AA2024 surface in NaCl solution has been substantiated through various analytical techniques including FTIR, SEM/EDS and XPS. A detailed examination of the differential inhibition exhibited by these bifunctional complexes is elucidated through theoretical calculations. The smallest difference of HOMO and LUMO orbitals for Sm-thiog of 3.21 eV indicates that this inhibitor attains the strongest donor–acceptor interactions with the metal surface. Predictions generated by Density Functional Theory/Molecular Dynamics simulations suggest the potential formation of diverse inhibitory species within the electrolyte. The corrosion inhibition mechanism proposed for RE-thioglycolates is grounded in electrochemical and theoretical insights, and subsequently validated through surface analysis methods. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.},

The research focuses on analyzing the catalytic efficiency of these activators under varying conditions, including temperature and current density variations. Key findings reveal that the Co–Mo–W activator enhances HER performance, with a significant 17% reduction in energy consumption compared to plain electrolyte, mirroring the efficiency of Co–Mo. Tafel analysis gave the insight of the reaction mechanism for HER for all activators, with Co–Mo–W exhibiting a lower Tafel slope, suggesting improved catalytic activity. Structural and morphological analysis of electrode coatings shows a highly developed surface for Co–Mo–W, with a roughness factor similar to or slightly lower than the most developed Co–Mo coating. The study concludes that the synergistic combination of Co, Mo, and W in a tri-component ionic activator offers a promising catalytic activity for HER, outperforming bi-component systems and presenting significant potential for industrial-scale alkaline water electrolysis applications. © 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC},

Testing of individual components of composites, PANI-ES, PANI-EB, and MOF-5, was also performed for comparison. Materials are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), and their electrochemical behavior was discussed in terms of their zeta potential, structural, morphology, and textural properties. All examined composites showed high electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of Cd and Pb to Cd2+ and Pb2+, respectively. The MOF/EB-1 composite (71.0 wt.% MOF-5) gave the highest oxidation currents during both individual and simultaneous detection of two heavy metal ions. Current densities recorded with MOF/EB-1 were also higher than those of its individual components, reflecting the synergistic effect where MOF-5 offers high surface area for two heavy metals adsorption and PANI offers a network for electron transfer during metals’ subsequent oxidation. Limits of detection using MOF/EB-1 electrode for Cd2+ and Pb2+ sensing were found to be as low as 0.077 ppm and 0.033 ppm, respectively. Moreover, the well-defined and intense peaks of Cd oxidation to Cd2+ and somewhat lower peaks of Pb oxidation to Pb2+ were observed at voltammograms obtained for the Danube River as a real sample with no pretreatment, which implies that herein tested MOF-5/PANI electrodes could be used as electrochemical sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions in the real water samples. © 2024 by the authors.},
