Summary: The SnO2/ZnO core/shell nanowires, as anode materials in LIBs, were studied using electrochemical analysis and electron microscopy to understand the relationship between structural changes and battery performance. The combination of SnO2 and ZnO showed higher storage capacities, but cycling caused significant structural changes and loss of mechanical integrity. This study provides insights into the stability limitations of SnO2/ZnO heterostructure LIB anodes and offers guidance for the design of next-generation anode materials.

Summary: A versatile hydrogen gas sensor was fabricated using Pd@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles synthesized through a hydrothermal route. The optimal sensor, Pd@ZnO-2, demonstrated superior performance compared to Pd@ZnO-1 and pure ZnO, with higher response, faster response and recovery times to 100 ppm hydrogen at 350 degrees C. The high selectivity of Pd@ZnO-2 sensor to hydrogen can be attributed to the higher metallic Pd content remaining in the sample after calcination in argon.

Summary: To enhance the efficiency of solar photothermal conversion, core-shell Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles with strong absorbance were synthesized and the resulting nanofluids showed good stability, photothermal properties, and recoverability. The impact of nanoparticle concentration, light intensity, and nanofluid depth on photothermal performance and evaporation efficiency was investigated. The results revealed that the Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibited surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, effectively converting photon energy to heat energy. Compared to deionized water, a concentration of 200 ppm led to a temperature increase of 21.52% and an evaporation increase of 117.42%. Increasing nanofluid depth led to higher temperature gradient and heat loss, while increasing light intensity improved evaporation volume but had a negative effect on sensible heat efficiency.

Summary: A core-shell structure homogeneous junction ZnO photocatalyst was prepared by calcination of Zn2(OH)2CO3 and zinc-based metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF) mixtures. The synthesized ZnO samples showed better UV light catalytic performance compared to commercially available nano-sized ZnO materials. However, the ZnO samples had poor visible-light photocatalytic performance. The presence of H2O2 accelerated the degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution in both cases.

Summary: In this study, three-layer small diameter artificial vascular grafts were constructed using electrospinning technique. The grafts were composed of polycaprolactone (PCL), collagen (COL), and gelatin (GEL) to provide good biocompatibility and mechanical strength. The electrospun grafts exhibited excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, with the longitudinal maximum stress exceeding that of natural blood vessels. The addition of COL to the PCL enhanced the hydrophilicity of the grafts and promoted cell adhesion, particularly with a PCL:COL ratio of 2:1. The bionic PCL-COL@PCL@PCL-GEL composite graft is a promising material for vascular tissue engineering.

Summary: Imposing appropriate numerical boundary conditions at the symmetrical center r = 0 is crucial for computing compressible fluids with radial symmetry. This paper highlights the conservation property, which allows the updating formula for the boundary cell average to coincide with the one for interior cell averages. To achieve second-order accuracy in time and space, the inner boundary value at r = 0 is obtained through the resolution of the corresponding one-sided generalized Riemann problem (GRP), using acoustic approximation and L'Hospital's rule to avoid singularity and obtain the value of the singular quantity. Several challenging scenarios are tested to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of this approach.

Summary: Packet loss is a common phenomenon in networks that leads to a degradation of network quality of service. In this study, we propose a framework called LossDetection, which uses packet sampling and Feature-Sketch to detect real-time packet loss for both TCP and UDP. The results show that our methodology achieves an accuracy of 98%-100% at a sampling rate of 1/16. Additionally, our evaluation demonstrates that LossDetection can be easily implemented in a software router, with low memory usage and detection latency while providing real-time information about packet loss.

Summary: Membrane viscosity is an important property of cell biology, and we investigated it at gigahertz frequencies through damping of acoustic vibrations of gold nanoplates. The experiments showed that cell membranes exhibit viscoelasticity with an estimated relaxation time. Furthermore, we demonstrated the potential of using membrane viscoelasticity at gigahertz frequencies to differentiate cancerous cells from normal cells, with cancer cells having lower viscosity compared to healthy cells. These findings have promising applications in cell diagnosis.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
