Article on water-ionic liquids and aqueous biphasic systems and some novel liquid partitioning systems.

This article presents the correct computation methodology for determining solute descriptors from experimental solubility data.

This article is a study of graphene as an electrically tunable material for switchable devices. Graphene is obtained from graphene oxide during the atomic layer deposition of Al2O3, as confirmed by Raman spectrum.

In this article, the authors describe two types of memory and illustrate each using artificial and actual heartbeat data sets.

This article demonstrates a relationship between the Dunford-Pettis property and the DP1 property with a similar relationship for vector-valued continuous function spaces.

Article on experimental and computational investigations of the reaction of OH with CF3I and the enthalpy of formation of HOI.

Article discussing a new philosophy in the 21st century and challenges and potential for reform.

This article looks at hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which are potent greenhouse gases that are potential substitutes for ozone depleting substances. The Kigali amendment lists 17 HFCs that are currently in commercial use to be regulated under the Montreal Protocol. Future commercial applications may explore the use of other HFCs, most of which currently lack an evaluation of their climate metrics. In this work, atmospheric lifetimes, radiative efficiencies (REs), global warming potentials (GWPs), and global temperature change potentials (GTPs) for all saturated HFCs with fewer than 5 carbon atoms are estimated to help guide future usage and policy decisions.

Article on the mechanism of hydrogenolysis of an iridium methyl bond and evidence for a methane complex intermediate.

This article looks at respiratory illness in Appalachian Kentucky because it reports some of the highest rates of respiratory illness in the United States. As part of the Mountain Air Project, local youth were invited to share their perspectives on possible contributing factors to respiratory illness, and the authors undertook an exploratory study to determine the utility of photovoice to elicit such perspectives with this population. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating youth perspectives in environmental health research, and that photovoice was a valuable approach to elicit such perspectives.

This article developed a modified, rapid higher throughput thioacidolysis method to analyze both lignin monomeric composition and tricin content in the lignin polymer. The results demonstrate that the modified method can be used for rapid, high-throughput, and reliable lignin composition and tricin content analyses for screening transgenic plants for cell wall modifications or in large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

This article investigates the switching mechanism of a recently reported near-infrared environment-sensitive fluorophore, ADP(CA)₂.

This article presents a study that aims to identify strategies for using video-based social media to combat stigmatized diseases, such as mental health, among college students. The authors identify effective strategies for designing video-based social media content for supporting college students’ mental health. Results show that the videos where individuals share their personal stories, as well as experiential knowledge (ie, tips and advice), engaged more viewers in both the short term and long term. Individuals’ videos on YouTube showed the potential to support college students' mental health in unique ways, such as providing social support, validating experience, and sharing the positive experience of help-seeking.

Article presents research on how temperature affects fish populations. The study shows how changes in temperature may induce craniofacial and morphological alterations in fish during early stages and contribute to understanding the possible effects of global warming in early development of fish and its ecological implications.

This article discusses high sensitivity measurement of implanted As in the presence of Ge in Ge(x)Si(1-x)/Si layered alloys using trace element accelerator mass spectrometry.

This article suggests the possibility of frequency up-conversion in lasing without inversion.

Article on the solubility of pyrene in ternary alcohol + cyclohexane + heptane solvent mixtures at 299.15 K.

Article discusses study which led to the development of the Social Reward Questionnaire (SRQ), a measure of individual differences in the value of different social rewards.

This article presents the synthesis and characterization of a hybrid vanadium-organic coordination polymer with robust magnetic order, a Curie temperature TC of ~110 K, a coercive field of ~5 Oe at 5 K, and a maximum mass magnetization of about half that of the benchmark ferrimagnetic vanadium(tetracyanoethylene)~₂ (V·(TCNE)~₂).

Article examining the glass durability and residual rate of borosilicate glass. The authors focus on the behavior of the soluble elements of the International Simple Glass (B, Na, and Ca) to show that the residual rate is controlled by the behavior of B, a glass former supposed to dissolve instantaneously when in contact with water and thus widely considered as an ideal tracer. The article demonstrates that B release is controlled by multiple processes highly dependent on the pH. A new paradigm, including B as a key element of the system, is proposed to develop a comprehensive model for the corrosion of borosilicate glass.

This article reports an apparently novel and taxonomically diverse grouping of plants that continuously maintain high tissue sodium contents and share the rare feature of possessing symbiotic cyanobacteria.

Article on synthesis, characterization, and in vitro toxicity of Cu(II)-releasing polymer nanoparticles for potential use as a drug delivery vector.

This article employs a recently introduced magnesium-samarium oxide (Mg–Sm₂O₃) nanocomposite, with different volume fractions of nanosize Sm₂O₃ particles as reinforcement, to study ambient temperature rate-dependent plastic response of the material.

Paper presents the holographic fabrication of a graded photonic super-crystal with a rectangular unit super-cell.
