Quantum Mechanical Process of Carbonate Complex Formation and Large Scale Anisotropy in the Adsorption Energy of CO$_2$ on Anatase TiO$_2$ (001) Surface [PDF]
Adsorption of CO$_2$ on a semiconductor surface is a prerequisite for its photocatalytic reduction. Owing to superior photocorrosion resistance, nontoxicity and suitable band edge positions, TiO$_2$ is considered to be the most efficient photocatalyst for facilitating redox reactions.

Regulating Protein Immobilization During Cell‐Free Protein Synthesis in Hyaluronan Microgels
Bifunctional microgels carrying a linear DNA template and Ni2+‐activated NTA moieties are used as platform for cell‐free protein synthesis and in situ protein immobilization. By varying the concentration of NTA moieties in the microgels, the amount of GFP‐His immobilized inside the microgel and released to the microgel environment can be regulated ...

Spatial Variations in the Physico-chemical Variables and Macrobenthic Invertebrate Assemblage of a Tropical River in Nigeria [PDF]
The spatial variation in the physico-chemical variables and macrobenthic invertebrates assemblage of a stretch of Ethiope River, Nigeria were evaluated for 6 months at five study stations. The results showed that temperature, dissolved oxygen and bicarbonates were similar across the study stations. The highest values of conductivity and total dissolved

A microscopic description of acid-base equilibrium [PDF]
Acid-base reactions are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding their mechanisms is crucial in many fields, from biochemistry to industrial catalysis. Unfortunately, experiments only give limited information without much insight into the molecular behaviour.

Laboratory protocols for producing thin‐film pH electrodes for sterilized single‐use technologies have been successfully developed into a semiautomated workflow, with higher throughput and precision of membrane thickness. Accuracies are within 0.05 pH units versus ground truth, and uncertainty analysis reveals the largest sources of error to be derived

Tetraethylammonium bicarbonate trihydrate [PDF]
In the title compound, C(8)H(20)N(+)·CHO(3) (-)·3H(2)O, the bicarbon-ate anion, which has a small mean deviation from the plane of 0.0014 Å, fully utilises its three O and one H atom to form various O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the three water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, generating a hydrogen-bonded layer, which extends along (10[Formula: see text])

Direct Ink Writing of Conductive Hydrogels
This review examines the use of direct ink writing (DIW) for fabricating conductive hydrogels with customizable 3D structures. It outlines the rheological requirements for successful DIW, followed by an exploration of the materials and ink formulations used to impart electronic and/or ionic conductivity to hydrogels while maintaining printability ...

Efficient and robust transfer learning of optimal individualized treatment regimes with right-censored survival data [PDF]
An individualized treatment regime (ITR) is a decision rule that assigns treatments based on patients' characteristics. The value function of an ITR is the expected outcome in a counterfactual world had this ITR been implemented. Recently, there has been increasing interest in combining heterogeneous data sources, such as leveraging the complementary ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.
