Preparation, Structural Analysis, and Reactivity Studies of Phosphenium Dications by Tay, Madelyn Qin Yi, Ilić, Gordana, Werner-Zwanziger, Ulrike, Lu, Yunpeng, Ganguly, Rakesh, Ricard, Louis, Frison, Gilles, Carmichael, Duncan, Vidović, Dragoslav

“…Initial reactivity studies between dications 3a2+/3c2+ and PMe3 show an equilibrium between the free dication and the target adduct. Furthermore, 3a2+ has been shown to be capable of O–H bond activation using water and methanol and polymerizes THF when it is dissolved in this solvent…”

Electromyography signal processing based on time and time-frequency representations for prosthesis application by Mahdavi, Farzaneh Akhavan

“…It is worth mentioning that eighteen healthy people had participated in EMG signal recording and different wrist motions (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and rest) had been recorded. As a result, the output of the proposed algorithm for EMG signal processing using various techniques presented an improvements in EMG signal classification in terms of accuracy. …”

Cell-free hemoglobin mediated oxidative stress is associated with acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy in severe falciparum malaria: an observational study by Plewes, Katherine, Kingston, Hugh W.F., Ghose, Aniruddha, Maude, Richard J., Herdman, M. Trent, Leopold, Stije J., Ishioka, Haruhiko, Hasan, Md. Mahtab Uddin, Haider, Md. Shafiul, Alam, Shamsul, Piera, Kim A., Charunwatthana, Prakaykaew, Silamut, Kamolrat, Yeo, Tsin Wen, Faiz, Md. Abul, Lee, Sue J., Mukaka, Mavuto, Turner, Gareth D. H., Anstey, Nicholas M., Jackson Roberts II, L., White, Nicholas J., Day, Nicholas P. J., Hossain, Md. Amir, Dondorp, Arjen M.

“…Conclusions: Cell-free hemoglobin and lipid peroxidation are associated with acute kidney injury and disease severity in falciparum malaria, suggesting a pathophysiological role in renal tubular injury. Evaluation of adjunctive therapies targeting cell-free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative stress is warranted.…”

Interface engineering for organic−inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells by Foo, Shini

“…It is hypothesized that the HBP molecules passivate the under−coordinated lead (Pb2+) defects accumulated at the interface by promoting favourable Lewis acid-base adduct formation. Through this work, it is verified that the use of an optimized Lewis base passivation layer enhances the overall device performance and stability attributed to the efficient hole transport across the OIHP/HTL interface and reduced recombination tendencies in the HBP passivated solar device. …”
