Adsorption and Separation by Flexible MOFs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) present significant potential for gas storage and separation due to their structural dynamic. This review explores the rationale behind the flexible MOFs' enhanced working capacity and separation factors. It also addresses key challenges, including phase transition kinetics, crystal robustness, cycling, shaping,

Association of elevated levels of peripheral complement components with cortical thinning and impaired logical memory in drug-naïve patients with first-episode schizophrenia

Schizophrenia, 2023
Schizophrenia has been linked to polymorphism in genes encoding components of the complement system, and hyperactive complement activity has been linked to immune dysfunction in schizophrenia patients.

On forbidden induced subgraphs for unit disk graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of disks of equal radii in the plane. The class of unit disk graphs is hereditary, and therefore admits a characterization in terms of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In spite of quite active study of unit disk graphs very little is known about minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for this class. We found

Harnessing Synergistic Cooperation of Neighboring Active Motifs in Heterogeneous Catalysts for Enhanced Catalytic Performance

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the critical role of neighboring active motifs in heterogeneous catalysts, emphasizing how their synergistic cooperativity can be rationally designed to modulate catalytic properties. The discussion centers on the modulation of electronic and geometric structures, categorizing the catalytic systems into metal‐acid (Brønsted/Lewis ...

On graphs without a C4 or a diamond [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
We consider the class of (C4, diamond)-free graphs; graphs in this class do not contain a C4 or a diamond as an induced subgraph. We provide an efficient recognition algorithm for this class. We count the number of maximal cliques in a (C4, diamond)-free graph and the number of n-vertex, labeled (C4, diamond)-free graphs.

On $α^{++}$-Stable Graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
The stability number of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is the cardinality of a stable set of maximum size in G. A graph is well-covered if every maximal stable set has the same size. G is a Koenig-Egervary graph if its order equals alpha(G) + mu(G), where mu(G) is the cardinality of a maximum matching in G. In this paper we characterize $\alpha ^{++}$-
