This engineering study describes synthesis of nano-metal binary oxide catalysts using complexation and impregnation with ultrasonic intervention for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of toluene under microwave radiation. The La-Co catalyst prepared with ultrasonic intervention is reported to have the best…

This food science study assessed how UV irradiation, pulsed electric field, hot water dip, and ethanol vapour treatments affected mung bean sprout quality and storage life at room and low temperatures. The abstract reports minimal effects on sprout growth metrics, with ethanol suppressing length/weight, hot water dip…

This study examined how pulsed electric field, hot water dip, ethanol vapours, and UV irradiation affected antioxidant-related properties of mung bean sprouts during storage at room and low temperatures. Ethanol vapour-treated sprouts had the highest ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activity. Polyphenol…

This condensed-matter study investigates highly oriented pyrolytic graphite under very strong magnetic fields at low temperature. It reports a magnetic-field-induced charge density wave transition and a subsequent sign reversal of the Hall coefficient from negative to positive. The reported angular dependence…

This condensed-matter physics study examined how high magnetic fields and pressure affect magnetization, transport, and thermodynamic properties of the intermediate-valence compound YbPd. The authors report that the Yb valence state and two first-order transitions are stable up to 55 T, while increasing pressure…

This laboratory study investigates how magnetic field and pressure affect valence and magnetic transitions in the compound EuPtP. High-field analysis suggests a mixed valence state at low temperature and discontinuous changes in Eu2+ fraction at two transition temperatures. Pressure increases the transition…

This numerical FDTD study modeled RF exposure at 900 and 1800 MHz in tissue containing thin metallic straight wire implants. The model indicates that the wire can substantially increase local SAR, creating high SAR gradients. Despite this, the authors report that exposures below current safe levels resulted in…
