The XDM dispersion correction is largely invariant to the chosen U value, making it a robust dispersion correction for actinide systems.This paper showcases the suitability of an environmentally extended input-output framework to provide macroeconomic analyses of an expanding bioeconomy to allow for adequate evaluation of its benefits and trade-offs. It also exemplifies the framework's applicability to provide early design stage evaluations of emerging technologies expected to contribute to a future bioeconomy. Here, it is used to compare the current United States (U.S.) bioeconomy to a hypothetical future containing additional cellulosic ethanol produced from two near-commercial pathways. We find that the substitution of gasoline with cellulosic ethanol is expected to yield socioeconomic net benefits, including job growth and value added, and a net reduction in global warming potential and nonrenewable energy use. The substitution fares comparable to or worse than that for other environmental impact categories including human toxicity and eutrophication potentials. We recommend that further technology advancement and commercialization efforts focus on reducing these unintended consequences through improved system design and innovation. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Eloxatin.html The framework is seen as complementary to process-based technoeconomic and life cycle assessments as it utilizes related data to describe specific supply chains while providing analyses of individual products and portfolios thereof at an industrial scale and in the context of the U.S. economy.Main-group halogenido metalates are a diverse class of compounds with an intricate structural chemistry and a wide range of applications. Here, we present an unprecedented anion motif in the structural chemistry of halogenido bismuthates, a square-pyramidal BiX5 unit. We show how the porphyrin diacid used as our compounds' counterion is templating the formation of this new motif, suggesting that other strong anion receptors may be able to stabilize unique metalate anions in future work.A dipyridyl-substituted anthraquinone (2,6-di(pyridin-4-yl)-9,10-anthraquinone, DPAq) was incorporated as a redox-active linker molecule into crystalline coordination networks. The oxidation state of the organic linker can be selectively controlled prior to framework formation and furthermore be maintained in the solid state. Hydrogen bonding is identified to be a substantial stabilization factor. Additionally, it is shown that the anthraquinone-anthrahydroquinone redox pair can be switched reversibly even after incorporation in the solid state by a thermal treatment/soaking procedure-going along with the formation of hydrogen peroxide from molecular oxygen (air) during the oxidation process.High spatial resolution imaging analysis is urgently needed to explore the biodistribution, transfer and clearance profiles, and biological impact of nanoparticles in the body, which will be helpful to clarify the efficacy of nanomedicine in clinical applications. Herein, by combination with multiscale synchrotron-based imaging techniques, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and micro X-ray phase contrast computed tomography (micro-XPCT), we visually displayed the transfer patterns and site-specific distribution of PEGylated gold nanoparticles (PEG-GNPs) in the suborgans of the liver, spleen, and kidney after an intravenous injection in mice. A combination of XRF and FTIR imaging analysis showed that the PEG bands presented similar distribution patterns with Au in the intraorgans, suggesting the stability of PEGylation on GNPs. We show that the PEG-GNPs presented heterogeneous distribution in the hepatic lobules with a large amount around the portal vein zone and then a gradient decrease in the sinusoidal region and the CV zone; in the spleen, it gradually accumulated in the splenic red pulp over time; and in the kidney, it quickly transported via the bloodstream to the renal pyramids and renal pelvis, and parts of PEG-GNPs finally accumulated in the renal medulla and renal cortex. Multidimensional micro-XPCT images further show that the PEG-GNP transfer in the liver induced hepatic blood vessel dilatation while they transferred in the liver, providing evidence of GNP transport across the blood vessel endothelial barrier.When dealing with infectious pathogens, the risk of contamination or infection in the process of detecting them is nonnegligible. Separation-free detection will be beneficial in operation and safety. In this work, we proposed a DNAzyme walker for homogeneous and isothermal detection of enterovirus. The DNAzyme is divided into two inactivate subunits. When the subunit-conjugated antibody binds to the target virus, the activity of the DNAzyme recovers as a result of spatial proximity. The walker propels, and the fluorescence recovers. The final fluorescence intensity of the reaction mixture is related to the concentration of the target virus. The detection limit of this proposed method is 6.6 × 104 copies/mL for EV71 and 4.3 × 104 copies/mL for CVB3, respectively. Besides, this method was applied in detection of EV71 in clinical samples with a satisfactory result. The entire experiment is easy to operate, and the proposed method has great potential for practical use.Thermally conductive nanopapers fabricated from graphene and related materials are currently showing great potential in thermal management applications. However, thermal contacts between conductive plates represent the bottleneck for thermal conductivity of nanopapers prepared in the absence of a high temperature step for graphitization. In this work, the problem of ineffective thermal contacts is addressed by the use of bifunctional polyaromatic molecules designed to drive self-assembly of graphite nanoplates (GnP) and establish thermal bridges between them. To preserve the high conductivity associated to a defect-free sp2 structure, non-covalent functionalization with bispyrene compounds, synthesized on purpose with variable tethering chain length, was exploited. Pyrene terminal groups granted for a strong π-π interaction with graphene surface, as demonstrated by UV-Vis, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopies. Bispyrene molecular junctions between GnP were found to control GnP organization and orientation within the nanopaper, delivering significant enhancement in both in-plane and cross-plane thermal diffusivities.
