Summary: The fibers of the subscapularis do not all originate from the subscapularis fossa. An additional origin exists at the inferior part of the glenoid neck and in a depression at the infero-lateral part of the scapular pillar. The fibers which originate at this location all insert on the humerus at the muscular portion of the subscapularis humeral insertion. This portion, however, does not seem to correspond to the so-called subscapularis minor which has been previously described.

Summary: The interfacial radiation chemistry of UO2 is crucial for the development of corrosion rate prediction models for spent nuclear fuel in contact with groundwater. The oxidative dissolution of UO2 induced by radiolytically produced H2O2 is of great significance. Stable uranyl peroxo-carbonato complexes formed by UO22+ in water containing H2O2 and HCO3-/CO32- have been largely overlooked in previous studies. Experimental results show that these complexes have little to no reactivity with the solid UO2 surface under certain conditions. The dissolution rate depends on the UO22+ concentration and is limited by the free H2O2 fraction.

Summary: This study investigates the selectivity and formaldehyde yield of Tris and methanol as probes for surface-bound hydroxyl radicals in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The experiments demonstrate that Br2 & BULL;− reduces the formaldehyde yield compared to hydroxyl radicals in the homogeneous methanol system, while Tris increases the yield. Similar trends are observed in the photocatalysis system. The paper discusses the reasons for these changes and the suitability of Tris and methanol as probes.

Summary: In this study, the growth of precipitates during solid solution decomposition and the dissolution of small precipitates during the coarsening stage in ternary Al-Sc-Zr alloys were investigated using a statistical alloy theory based on the Master Equation approach with ab initio calculated interatomic interactions. The results showed that Zr alloying promoted the formation of core-shell nanoparticles in Al-Sc alloys, whose structure was highly sensitive to the solute diffusion rates. It was demonstrated that the core-shell structure of precipitates slowed down the dissolution of small particles, thus hindering microstructure coarsening at elevated temperatures.

Summary: Aluminum oxide coating is resistant to weak acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions and naturally forms a passivation layer against corrosion. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the behavior of the Al/oxide surface when exposed to strong corrosive media. The mechanism of film growth on the Al/oxide surface during corrosion differs in alkaline and acidic solutions, leading to differences in structure and topography. The chemical composition of the formed films is pH-independent, and the films have a topologically complex amorphous nature.

Summary: To enhance the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion batteries, sustainable and high-performance carbonaceous anode materials are needed. By depositing a tunable thickness of nm-sized conformal coating of carbon nitride, we were able to improve the electrochemical performance of anode material derived from sodium lignosulfonate. This resulted in significantly enhanced electrode performance, including first cycle efficiency, rate-capability, and specific capacity. The design of interactive electrochemical interfaces, such as a homogeneous carbon nitride coating, played a crucial role in improving the performance of carbonaceous anodes without adding much weight.

Summary: In this study, nitrogen-doped porous hollow carbon spheres were used to analyze the behavior of sodium storage in a commercial liquid electrolyte. It was found that during the sodiation process, a solvated ionic layer forms on the surface of the carbon spheres, followed by irreversible expansion due to solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation. The N-PHCSs layer acts as a protective layer, preventing the growth of dendrites at the anode.

Summary: Transition metal-based catalysts have the potential to replace Pt-based materials in energy conversion devices due to their low cost, reasonable activity, stability, and corrosion resistance. This study demonstrates the synthesis of homogeneous alloy nanoparticles with controlled structure and varying Ni-to-Co ratios using a gamma-radiolytic reduction method. The presence of structural defects in the obtained samples influenced the catalysts' activity towards the oxygen evolution reaction but had a less pronounced effect on the oxygen reduction reaction. The activity of Ni-Co catalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction was found to be affected by the formation of Ni-OH bonds on the surface.

Summary: Oxidation conditions can be controlled to tailor the properties and structure of oxide films. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the thermal oxidation of polycrystalline Al substrates. The results showed that the density of O2 and the temperature had an impact on the formation of oxide films, which exhibited long-range order and a two-phase structure. Additionally, the roughness of the Al surface before oxidation affected the behavior of the metal/oxide interface and the structure of the oxide film.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of irradiation dose on the growth mechanisms and morphology of CeO2 particles formed through the radiolytic oxidation of Ce3+ in aqueous solution. The results show that different dose rates do not affect the growth pathway of CeO2 particles and result in the formation of highly ordered structures. Additionally, locally applied irradiation induces Ce-ion concentration gradients, impacting the growth of CeO2 and leading to the appearance of branched morphologies.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
