Summary: Based on first-principles calculations, the optical properties of the spinel-type ZnGa2O4 transparent ceramic were theoretically investigated. The p-d hybridization between Zn/Ga 3d states and O 2p states and the weaker Zn-O bond were found to contribute to a smaller band gap and a higher refractive index, as well as the broadened infrared transmission range of ZnGa2O4. The oxygen vacancy defect and narrow band gap offer opportunities for functionalization of ZnGa2O4 transparent ceramic and guide the design of novel transparent ceramics with desired optical properties.

Summary: Three azo dyes bearing coumarin thiophene were synthesized and their photophysical properties were studied in various solvents using UV-vis spectroscopy. Acidochromic properties were observed in DMSO/H2O for all products. Reversibility studies were conducted to assess the reusability of the synthesized compounds, which were also investigated for their potential use as hydroxide sensors. Electric field-induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) technique was employed to measure their second-order nonlinear optical properties. Thermal stability was confirmed up to approximately 200 degrees C via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Protonation and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.

Summary: This study proposes a combination of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of organic precursors of highly toxic iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) during the coagulation process. The combination effectively decomposes the organic precursor iopamidol (IPM) through the formation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals. It was found that the presence of common cations further enhances the removal of IPM, while the anions in conventional coagulants have a weak effect. This process also reduces the formation of I-DBPs during disinfection, especially when natural organic matter (NOM) is present.

Summary: In this study, we present an aromatic amide skeleton that can manipulate triplet excited states to achieve bright and long-lived blue phosphorescence. The aromatic amides promote strong spin-orbit coupling and enable multiple channels for emitting states. By forming robust hydrogen bonding with polyvinyl alcohol, non-radiative relaxations are suppressed, resulting in high quantum yields of phosphorescence in confined films. The blue afterglow of the films can be used in various applications such as information display and anti-counterfeiting. The smart aromatic amide skeleton provides a potential molecular design prototype for controlling triplet excited states and achieving ultralong phosphorescence with different colors.

Summary: Layered double hydroxides (LDH) can effectively adsorb and remove phosphate from wastewater. This study proposes a sustainable desorption strategy by controlling the phosphate uptake and release behavior of LDH through periodic pH regulation. Results show that LDH is robust against multiple rounds of pH shock, but extreme pH conditions can lead to metal ion loss from LDH laminates, suggesting that regulation must be done within a mild pH range.

Summary: In a wireless powered cognitive radio network, secondary transmitters (STs) perform energy harvesting when the channel is busy and active transmission using harvested energy when the channel is idle. To improve network throughput, time-division-multiple-access-based backscatter communication is enabled when the channel is busy, and non-orthogonal-multiple-access-based active transmission is used when the channel is idle. The problem of maximizing the sum-throughput of STs is formulated as a Markov decision process, with consideration of limited battery capacity and time-varying channels. Q-learning and deep Q-learning algorithms are proposed to solve the problem and achieve online policies. Simulation results show that the proposed deep Q-learning algorithm efficiently handles dynamic environments and significantly improves average throughput compared to other methods.

Summary: Compared with silicon-based inductors, the inductors with through glass via (TGV) technology have significantly improved in quality (Q) factor. On the basis of TGV technology, a new type of 3-D embedded inductor is designed for high inductance density applications. A new preparation process is proposed to reduce the diameter of glass porous, which, when fully metallized, achieves larger inductance density. The high-density, small-porous inductor array reaches an inductance density of 67.9 nH/mm(2), three times higher than previous glass inductance density, with a Q factor of 49 and a self-resonance frequency (SRF) of 5.6 GHz.
