Decreasing utilization and increasing prices of brand-name oral contraceptive pills: Implications to societal costs and market competition.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The affordability of pharmaceuticals has been a major challenge in US health care. Generic substitution has been proposed as an important tool to reduce the costs, yet little is known how the prices of more expensive brand-name drugs would be affected by

A Parallel Decomposition Scheme for Solving Long-Horizon Optimal Control Problems

, 2019
We present a temporal decomposition scheme for solving long-horizon optimal control problems. In the proposed scheme, the time domain is decomposed into a set of subdomains with partially overlapping regions.

Faster and Durable: A Cell‐to‐System Validation of a Low‐Degradation Fast‐Charge Protocol for Li‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A physics‐based framework resolving graphite phase‐separation dynamics establishes a predictive, degradation‐aware fast‐charging methodology for commercial Li‐ion batteries. The resulting model‐informed protocol achieves 20%–80% state‐of‐charge in 14 min while matching the long‐term degradation of a commercial 25‐minute EV strategy.

Spin‐State Modulation of Atomic Iron Sites Enables Efficient CO2 Electroreduction in Acid Medium

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An axial oxygen ligand was added to shift the spin state of the single‐atom Fe site from low to medium spin. This change reduces the interfacial interaction with H3O+ and decreases the *CO desorption energy, thus enhancing CO2RR in acidic media.

Electrochemical Modulation of Laser‐Induced Covalent Functionalization of Graphene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photoelectrochemical functionalization of graphene introduces the electrochemical potential as an additional parameter for the laser‐induced covalent modification of graphene. Tuning of the potential allows for amplification or suppression of the functionalization reaction with constant laser parameters, which enables in situ Raman analysis of ...

Novel approaches to determination of PAHs and halogenated POPs in canned fish

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011
A simple method is described for simultaneous isolation of 7 indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 22 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16 EU PAHs).

Orthogonal Design of Competing Deprotonation Process in Cation‐Mediated Ni(OH)2 for Achieving Industrial Level Biomass Electrooxidation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Cu‐mediated Ni(OH)2 catalyst with orthogonal activity by precise valence engineering simultaneously accelerates rate‐determining aldehyde C─H activation in HMF oxidation and impedes O─H deprotonation in competing OER. This multi‐functional synergistic catalysis enables FDCA production at industrial‐level current densities without sacrificing FEFDCA ...

Cobalt Single‐Atom Catalysts for Ultrafast Sulfamethoxazole Degradation: Unveiling the Chloride‐Ion‐Enhanced Formation of Co(IV)=O

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An atomically dispersed Co–N4 single‐atom catalyst rapidly activates peroxymonosulfate to remove the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole from water. Common ions have little impact, but chloride dramatically speeds degradation by promoting a high‐valent Co(IV) = O oxidant via in situ HOCl–catalyst electron transfer.
