Optimization of superconducting properties of the stoichiometric CaKFe4As4 by Singh, S, Cassidy, S, Bristow, M, Blundell, S, Clarke, S, Coldea, A

“…As a result, the superconducting properties are enhanced for the pure 1144 phase but they are likely to be affected by the inter and intra-granular behaviour originating from the microstructural nature of polycrystalline CaKFe4As4, similar to other iron-based superconductors. Based on our study, we construct the phase diagram for polycrystalline 1144 and compared it with that reported for 1144 single crystal.…”

Computational Design And Synthesis Of Potential Ns2b-Ns3 Dengue Protease Inhibitors by Salin, Nurul Hanim

“…The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analysis identified 9 active compounds from 2 types of in vitro DENV NS2B-NS3 protease assays i.e. 21 compound classes from cell-free-based assays and 9 compound classes from cell-based assays. 2 of the 9 scaffolds' molecules were identified as the best pharmacophore model based on their high Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Enrichment Factor (EF) values, which were close to 1 and 100% respectively, and were further used as a model for pharmacophore validation.…”

Understanding the effect of M(III) choice in heterodinuclear polymerization catalysts by Eisenhardt, KHS, Fiorentini, F, Williams, CK

“…The novel Al(III)K(I) catalyst exhibits outstanding activities in the cyclohexane oxide (CHO)/CO₂ ROCOP, and at 1 bar CO₂ pressure it is the fastest aluminum-based catalyst reported to date. The M(III) site electronics for all three catalysts, Al(III)K(I), Fe(III)K(I), and Co(III)K(I), are measured using IR and NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. …”

Determination of hexane residues in vegetable oils with FTIR spectroscopy by Mirghani, M. E. S., Che Man, Y. B.

“…An FTIR spectroscopy method was developed for the determination of hexane residues in palm and groundnut (peanut) oils. The method was based on horizontal attenuated total reflectance with a ZnSe crystal at 45° at room temperature, and partial least squares (PLS) statistics were used to derive calibration models. …”
