Abstract:
AbstractRecombinant ferritin is an excellent template for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles. This paper describes carefully performed experiments both to identify ironoxides within nanoparticles and to measure the number of iron atoms in the cores of recombinant human H-chain ferritin (HFn), based on spectroscopy techniques. Using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis, magnetite (Fe3O4) has been unequivocally identified as the ironoxide formed within HFn cores under special preparation conditions.

Abstract:
Incoherent imaging of atomic clusters, monolayer rafts, or low index crystal projections at atomic resolution in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) offers a number of distinct advantages over coherent imaging methods. These include an improved “interpretable” resolution and no experimental contrast reversals with specimen thickness or objective lens defocus. However, considerable controversy and confusion has arisen concerning the conditions under which the image of a given object can be interpreted using incoherent imaging theory. Here, we attempt to clarify the situation.Firs

Abstract:
Objective. Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), or trichloroethanoic acid, is a chemical analogue of acetic acid where three methyl group hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine. TCAAs are also abbreviated and referred to as TCAs, causing confusion with the psychiatric antidepressant drug class, especially among patients. TCAAs exist in dermatological treatments such as chemical peels or wart chemoablation medication. TCAA ingestion or overdose can cause gastric irritation symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, or lassitude. This symptomatology is less severe than TCA overdose, where symptoms may incl

Abstract:
The effects of the helical trajectories of the perturbing electrons in magnetized plasmas on the dynamical Stark width of hydrogen or deuterium spectral lines have been studied analytically in our previous two papers—specifically in the situation where the magnetic field B is so strong that the dynamical Stark width of these lines reduces to the so-called adiabatic Stark width because the so-called nonadiabatic Stark width is completely suppressed. This situation corresponds, for example, to DA and DBA white dwarfs. We obtained those analytical results by using the formalism of the so-called c

AbstractThe search for complex organic molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) has revealed species of ever greater complexity. This search relies on the progress made in the laboratory to characterize their rotational spectra. Our understanding of the processes that lead to molecular complexity in the ISM builds on numerical simulations that use chemical networks fed by laboratory and theoretical studies. The advent of ALMA and NOEMA has opened a new door to explore molecular complexity in the ISM. Their high angular resolution reduces the spectral confusion of star-forming cores and their

The widespread use of metal oxide nanoparticles across various industries has raised significant concerns regarding their potential toxicity. Conventional toxicological assessment methods remain time-intensive, costly, and limited in scalability.

A dataset containing nine key features such as dosage, surface area, and core size of the nanoparticles was employed to train and evaluate six supervised learning algorithms: Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boos

Abstract:
Geometry correction is traditionally plagued by mis-fitting of correlated parameters, leading to local minima which prevent further improvements. Segmented detectors pose an enhanced risk of mis-fitting: even a minor confusion of detector distance and panel separation can prevent improvement in data quality. The slip-and-slide algorithm breaks down effects of the correlated parameters and their associated target functions in a fundamental shift in the approach to the problem. Parameters are never refined against the components of the data to which they are insensitive, providing a dramatic boo

The molecular beam technique so beautifully advanced by Stern can also be used to explore the speed distribution of gases evaporating from liquid microjets, a tool developed by Manfred Faubel.

It became apparent by the middle of the nineteenth century that something needed to be done to resolve the widespread confusion over equivalent and atomic weights.
