A dual-modal molecular probe for near-infrared fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging of peroxynitrite by Zhang, Jianjian, Zhen, Xu, Zeng, Jianfeng, Pu, Kanyi

“…However, real-time in vivo imaging of ONOO- in tumors remains to be challenging. Herein, we develop a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic dual-modal molecular probe (CySO3CF3) composed of a water-soluble hemicyanine dye caged with a trifluoromethyl ketone moiety for in vivo imaging of ONOO-. …”

Comparison of transport methodologies on near-field pollutant dispersion in urban environments using CFD by Tee, Clarence Wei Tat

“…The focus of this study is to understand and quantify the differences between the two models when applied to near-field dispersion of heavy gases. The two methodologies are validated by simulating the dispersion phenomena for two test cases which largely bear resemblance to urban settings: a three-dimensional street canyon setup and the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) field experiment. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…Geologic relationships and patterns of crustal seismicity constrain the three-dimensional geometry of the active portions of San Andreas fault zone near San Gorgonio Pass, southern California. Within a 20-km-wide contractional stepover between two segments of the fault zone, the San Bernardino and Coachella Valley segments, folds, and dextral-reverse and dextral-normal faults form an east-west belt of active structures. …”

Graphene quantum dots assisted exfoliation of atomically-thin 2D materials and as-formed 0D/2D van der Waals heterojunction for HER by Gong, Jun, Zhang, Zheye, Zeng, Zhiping, Wang, Wenjun, Kong, Lingxuan, Liu, Jiyang, Chen, Peng

“…Further, it is shown that the as-formed GQD/MoS2 van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWHs) give enhanced performance for electrocatalysis of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) owing to the synergistic coupling at the 0D/2D heterojunction, delivering a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at a low overpotential of 160 mV with a small Tafel slope of 56.9 mV dec−1. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…Usually Nd:YAG-OPO laser is bulky, heavy and needs an optical table to deliver non-fluctuating laser beam and it needs external op- tics (reflectors/prisms) to direct the laser beam onto the sample (there are portable OPO lasers from OpoTek, EKSPLA, and various other companies that do not require optical table but they are more expensive than conventional Nd:YAG-OPO lasers). …”
