Summary: Solution combustion synthesis was used to create undoped and trivalent neodymium doped Y2O3 for potential gamma ray dosimetry and near-infrared laser material applications. X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that the materials had a cubic Y2O3 single phase structure up to a dopant level of 2 mol%. Higher dopant concentrations resulted in the existence of a Nd2O3 solid solution. The nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confirming excellent stoichiometric control. The gamma-ray irradiated phosphors exhibited a thermoluminescence peak at about 394K that increased in intensity up to 7 kGy and then decreased. The Nd3+ doped Y2O3 sample exposed to 60Co gamma-rays showed peaks at 395, 445, 496, and 596K, attributed to the F, F+, and V-centers.

Summary: A systematic study was conducted to understand the bactericidal mechanism of ultrasound assisted Fenton reaction (Sono-Fenton) against multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. The study found that SF achieved approximately 99% inactivation efficiency against A. baumannii within 90 minutes under weak acidic conditions. The combination of ultrasound and H2O2 was found to be more efficient, and the generation of multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) may have led to the membrane damage of the bacteria.

Summary: Recent studies have investigated the potential applications of surface-tailored graphene oxide (GO) as an anticancer agent. However, the efficacy of nonfunctionalized graphene oxide nanolayers (GRO-NLs) as an anticancer agent has not been well explored. In this study, GRO-NLs were synthesized and their in vitro anticancer potential was evaluated in breast, colon, and cervical cancer cells. The results showed that GRO-NLs exhibited cytotoxicity and induced apoptosis in these cancer cells through various mechanisms, including mitochondrial dysfunction and upregulation of genes involved in apoptosis.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
