The oxidation behavior of GTD-111 Ni-based superalloy with an ultrafine-grained surface (UFGS-GTD111) and its polycrystalline counterpart (cP-GTD111) in Ar + 20% O2 at 900 degrees c are comparatively investigated. Enhanced presence of high diffusivity paths (namely, GBs and dislocations) on the surface of UFGS-GTD111 significantly increases the diffusion of scale-former elements and oxygen anions toward the oxidation front. A three-layer oxide film (outer Ti-, intermediate cr-and inner-Al rich) rapidly form on the surface of UFGS-GTD111, and guarantees its better oxidation performance. Grain refinement reduces the critical concentration of Al for forming a virtually continuous alumina layer.

MxOy-Na2SO4 (with M = Ni, cr, Fe, Al, Ti, Nb) and NiSO4-Na2SO4 mixtures were prepared and their reactivity was examined at 650 degrees c in air + SO2 (400 and 1000 ppm). The formation of a molten phase for NiSO4-Na2SO4 mixtures and the rapid sulfation of NiO in these conditions were demonstrated. NiO sulfation should be considered when explaining the Type II hot corrosion attacks. cr2O3, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 also react with the gas phase showing these oxides dissolved according to an acidic-fluxing mechanism in air + SO2/SO3 (400 and 1000 ppm) environments. Al2O3 is more soluble than cr2O3 in these conditions.

Selective functionalization of highly inert and ubiquitous c-H bonds that would provide a ready access to synthetically valuable motifs has perplexed the chemists since long. Also, environmental benignity and economic viability have been the prime factors driving tremendous interest in c-H functionalization. This has led to many inspiring discoveries infuriating the development of potent catalytic systems that enable the facile replacement of the c-H bonds with conventional functional groups, allowing the construction of c-c, c-N, c-O, c-S, c-B and c -halogen bonds at both sp2 as well as sp3 centres. In fact, catalyticc-H functionalization strategies integrating the benefits of magnetic recovery have emerged as sustainable gateway for affording a diverse array of trans-formations. This review sheds light on the remarkable advancements witnessed in this area as a consequence of integrating the inherent magnetism of catalysts with the cutting-edge direct c-H functionalization strategy. Also, the promising future perspectives comprehensively covered in this review is anticipated to motivate the academic and industrial researchers, arousing their creativity for designing competent sustainable strategies to generate a plethora of pharmaceutically active molecules.

Oxidation behavior of the AlN coatings and the TiAl alloy is investigated at 900 degrees c. Results indicate that the application of the AlN coatings prepared by arc ion plating with different negative voltages on the TiAl alloy can improve its high temperature oxidation resistance. AlN in the coatings can be oxized to Al2O3 at 900 degrees c. After oxidation for 100 h, a protective Al2O3 scale without AlN is formed, and the Ti3Al/Ti2AlN/ Ti3Al interface is detected beneath that. The AlN coating with negative bias voltage 200 V exhibits higher oxidation resistance than others.

Apoptosis dysfunction is associated with several malignancies, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. Apoptosis restoration could be an attractive therapeutic approach to those diseases. Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization is regarded as the point of no return in the 'classical' apoptosis triggering pathway. cytoplasmic release of cytochrome c (cyt c), a mitochondrial electron transporter, is a prominent indicator of such critical step. Therefore, visualizing cyt c efflux in living cells is a convenient approach to address apoptosis triggering and monitor performance of apoptosis restoration strategies. Recent years have been prolific in the development of biosensors to visualize cyt c mitochondrial efflux in living cells, by fluorescence microscopy. These biosensors specifically detect endogenous, untagged cyt c, while showing efficient cellular uptake and reduced cell toxicity. A common aspect is their fluorescence quenching in the absence or presence of bound cyt c, resulting in two main biosensor types: 'turn ON' and 'turn OFF'. In some of these systems, fluorescence intensity of fluorophore-bound aptamers is enhanced upon cyt c binding. In others, cyt c binding to quantum dots quenches their fluorescence. In the present minireview, I describe these biosensors and briefly introduce some hypotheses that could be addressed using these novel tools.

Background Darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/c/F/TAF) 800/150/200/10 mg was investigated in AMBER (treatment-naive adults;NcT02431247) and EMERALD (treatment-experienced, virologically-suppressed adults;NcT02269917). Objective To describe a Week 96 pre-planned subgroup analysis of D/c/F/TAF arms by demographiccharacteristics (age <=/>50 years, gender, black/non-black race), and baseline clinical characteristics (AMBER: viral load [VL], cD4(+) count, WHO clinical stage, HIV-1 subtype and antiretroviral resistance;EMERALD: prior virologic failure [VF], antiretroviral experience, screening boosted protease inhibitor [PI], and boosting agent). Methods Patients in D/c/F/TAF and control arms could continue on/switch to D/c/F/TAF in a single-arm, open-label extension phase after Week 48 until Week 96. Efficacy endpoints were percentage cumulative confirmed VL >= 50 copies/mL (virologic rebound;EMERALD), and VL <50 (virologic response), or >= 50 copies/mL (VF) (FDA snapshot;both trials). Results D/c/F/TAF demonstrated high Week 96 virologic responses (AMBER: 85% [308/362];EMERALD: 91% [692/763]) and low VF rates (AMBER: 6% [20/362];EMERALD: 1% [9/763]). In EMERALD, D/c/F/TAF showed low virologic rebound cumulative through Week 96 (3% [24/763]). Results were consistent across subgroups, including prior antiretroviral experience in EMERALD. No darunavir, primary PI, or tenofovir resistance-associated mutations were observed post-baseline. Study-drug-related serious adverse events (AEs) and AE-related discontinuations were <1% and 2%, respectively (both D/c/F/TAF arms), and similar across subgroups. eGFR(cyst) and bone mineral density improved or were stable and lipids increased through Week 96 across demographic subgroups, with small changes in total-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio. conclusions D/c/F/TAF was effective with a high barrier to resistance and bone/renal safety benefits, regardless of demographic or clinical characteristics for treatme

Understanding the radiation-induced microstructure evolution of carbon fibers is crucial for c/Siccomposites as they are considered promising structural materials for high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors. In this study, M55J c/Sic and T300 c/Siccomposites were irradiated up to 9.8 dpa at 350 degrees c. AFM results suggested that both two carbon fibers shrank axially after irradiation. At a given irradiation dose, the shrinkage of M55J fibers was slightly lower than that of T300 fibers. Detailed microstructure characterization further revealed that the graphite structure in both two carbon fibers was disrupted due to ion irradiation. In contrast to M55J fibers, the ordering degree for T300 fibers increased at low dose range and diminished at higher doses. Possible mechanisms for the healing process occurring in T300 fibers were discussed.

Light and soil environments have extensive heterogeneity for many plants species affecting plant growth, reproduction, and distribution. However, the interaction effects of these two factors on the ecophysiological traits and adaptive strategy of plants remain largely unclear. In the present study, we set four shading levels and three soil types to investigate the effects of shade and soil type on seedlings growth, c:N:P stoichiometry responses, and nutrient use efficiency in Firmiana simplex (F. simplex). The maximum of total biomass was observed in acid purple soil under 75% shade, with a maximum difference of 3.6 times. With the increase in shading intensity, ccontent in the root, stem, and leaf reached maximum value under 75% shade. However, ccontent in the root and N content in the stem reached a maximum value of 420.6 g & BULL;kg(-1) and 13.7 g & BULL;kg(-1) in acid purple soil, respectively. With the increase in shading intensity, the total c and N accumulation showed a trend of progressive increase and then decrease, reaching the maximum value of 346.2 mg and 10.7 mg under 75% shade, respectively. The N:P ratios of various organ ranged from 3.1 to 11.9 in acid purple soil and red soil, indicating that the seedlings growth was restricted by nitrogen. We concluded that the interactions of shade and soil types might adjust the c:N:P stoichiometry and influence the dynamic balance between nutrients and organs in F. simplex seedlings.

Zr-1Sn-0.35Fe-0.15cr-xNb (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, wt%) alloys were designed to explore the effect of oxygen concentrations and Nb contents on the uniform corrosion behavior of the alloys. Results showed that the effect of trace Nb content on the uniform corrosion behavior of Zr alloys is related to the DO concentrations in steam;DO can accelerate the corrosion of the alloys, and this effect is enhanced with the increase of the DO concentrations. A mechanism of the accelerated corrosion rate by Nb and DO was proposed, which provides theoretical guidance for the selection of fuel cladding materials for small nuclear reactors.

In this study, Fe-based composite coatings were produced on a medium carbon steel surface by the Tungsten inert gas method. The microstructure and phase structure of the coatings were analyzed by an optical microscope with clemex image analysis, scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometer. The results show that the coating is metallurgically bonded to the substrate when it is produced with sufficient energy input. In the microstructure of Fe-cr-ccoatings, hexagonal-shaped M7c3 carbides solidified in gamma-(Fe,cr) eutectic matrix, while in Fe-cr-c/Nbccomposite coatings, quadrangular-shaped Nbccarbides solidified. As the amount of FeNb melted increased, the amount of Nbc in the structure increased.
