Summary: The solubility of hydrogen in olivine and orthopyroxene under water-saturated conditions was investigated. The results showed that the solubility of hydrogen increased with pressure and temperature in both minerals. The partition coefficient of hydrogen between orthopyroxene and olivine was calculated based on these observations, and it was found to depend weakly on temperature but strongly on pressure and water fugacity. The distribution of hydrogen between the two minerals has important implications for the bulk properties of the lithosphere and asthenosphere.

Summary: This study explores the compositional dependence of the Fe2+-Mg olivine-liquid exchange coefficient under low-oxygen fugacity conditions. Multiple gas-mixing experiments were conducted using different compositions and temperatures. The results show that the exchange can be described using two parameters: the SiO2 content of the liquid and the coexisting olivine composition. By combining experimental data with a literature compilation, a comprehensive dataset was created for calculating the composition of coexisting olivine.

Summary: The intensity tensor and electric field gradient tensor for Fe2+ doublets at the M2 sites in two enstatites with the orthorhombic system were determined using single crystal Mossbauer spectroscopy. The study found that the intensity tensor components had a weak dependence on the ferrosilite component of enstatite. Additionally, the intensity tensor due to Mossbauer nuclei at general positions can be simplified by using the symmetrical constraint.

Summary: The article analyzed the chemical composition of silicates and aluminosilicates in the Misaelga complex, using calculation methods to determine thermobaric parameters of melt crystallization. High-temperature intratelluric olivine crystals and olivine crystallized under intermediate chamber conditions were identified, along with variations in crystallization temperatures of other minerals. Modeling indicated that the differentiated body of the Misaelga complex likely formed through directional crystallization and gravitational deposition of olivine.

Summary: This study investigates the nature of the magnetostructural phase transition in Ce(Fe1-xSix)(2) compounds with low silicon content, revealing the presence of at least two different types of local surrounding of Fe atoms in CeFe2 and non-random Si distribution in the Ce(Fe1-xSix)(2) crystal structure. The experimental data is compared with mathematical simulations to determine the type of ordering of Si atoms and draw conclusions on the mechanism of the magnetostructural phase transition.

Summary: Magnesium ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using the solution combustion method. The effect of fuel concentration on the spectroscopic, structural, and magnetic properties of MgFe2O4 was investigated. The results showed that increasing the fuel amount led to a decrease in crystallite size and an increase in lattice strain, dislocation density, and specific surface area. The study also revealed that the number and parameters of magnetic sextets assigned to different sites varied slightly with different fuel concentrations.

Summary: Two commercial pharmaceutical products containing ferrous sulfate, Tardyferon (R) and Fenules (R), were studied using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The results showed that both products contain iron compounds, including FeSO4·xH2O and FeSO4·4H(2)O in Tardyferon (R), and possibly two FeSO4·xH2O compounds with slight variations in the iron local microenvironments in Fenules (R). However, Fenules (R) did not contain the water free ferrous sulfate as claimed by the manufacturer.

Summary: This research article provides a comprehensive characterization and toxicological assessment of a photoisomeric impurity of the antianemic drug Roxadustat. The impurity has a distinct structure compared to the drug and its formation due to light exposure is a concern. Through various experiments, including single crystal XRD, physicochemical characterization, and in vitro cytotoxicity assays, the researchers confirmed the structure of the impurity, evaluated its conversion with Roxadustat, and assessed its toxicological activity. These findings contribute to the understanding of drug stability, safety, and formulation development.

Summary: Material modification with low surface energy can achieve lower surface free energy on micro-and nano-rough structures, which is crucial for developing superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, attapulgite (APT) was modified with alkylamine, alkylammonium salt, and stearic acid, and the interaction between low surface materials and attapulgite was explained. The results showed that the hydrophobicity of APT was significantly modified by the modifiers, and the surface free energy of the composites first decreased and then increased with increasing molecular number of low surface energy monomers.

Summary: The main aim of this study was to prepare a drug-drug coamorphous system to improve the physiochemical properties, solubility and stability of Apremilast and Indomethacin. Various solid-state characterization techniques were used to characterize the prepared system. Molecular level interactions were studied using molecular modeling and ATR-FTIR and 1H NMR. Solubility and dissolution studies showed the benefits of the coamorphous system. The system was found to be stable for a period of five months. Permeation study also demonstrated improved flux for both drugs compared to their crystalline forms. The coamorphous system showed anti-psoriatic and anti-melanogenic activity based on molecular docking results. Overall, the developed CAM-based supersaturated system exhibited improved physicochemical properties and physical stability.
