omprising loud noise, shaking and trapezius muscle squeezing had the best combination of IRA and predictive value. This study stresses the necessity to use multiple stimulus types to improve the predictive value of reactivity testing in post-anoxic coma and confirms that it is not affected by hypothermia.

Herein, phosphate functionalised titania has been investigated for the first time for removal of heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Cu, Eu, U) under conditions relevant to acid mine drainage (pH 2-5 sulfuric acid). Successful functionalisation was found to depend on the phase of titania used, with anatase preferred according to computational results from density functional theory. The effect of phosphate ligand structure was explored, revealing that the phosphate ethyl ester maximised heavy metal removal. The presence and concentration of counterions (sulfate, nitrate, ammonium) also impacted the speciation and binding of heavy metal cations, demonstrating the importance of adsorbent testing under realistic conditions. Increasing the porosity of the titania framework enhanced heavy metal removal, while maintaining selectivity for the toxic heavy metals over non-toxic cations Na and K. As such, phosphate functionalised titania shows great promise for heavy metal remediation in acidic sulfate environments.The development of bifunctional electrocatalysts with good stability and high efficiency for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for renewable energy conversion and storage. Herein, by means of swarm-intelligence structure search and density functional theory (DFT) computations, we proposed a novel kind of two-dimensional (2D) monolayer with hypercoordinate structure as electrocatalysts for ORR/OER, namely, transition dinitride (TMN2, TM = V, Co, Rh, Pd, W, Re, and Ir) monolayer. PF-04691502 PI3K inhibitor Our result revealed that these TMN2 monolayers have excellent thermal, dynamic and chemical stability, as well as inherent metallic nature for their practical applications in electrocatalysis. More interestingly, among all 2D TMN2 materials, the IrN2 monolayer was suggested to perform as an ideal bifunctional electrocatalyst for ORR/OER with a low overpotential of 0.47 and 0.27 V, respectively, which is comparable to Pt and Ir- or Ru-based oxides. Furthermore, by examining the d-band centers of the active sites in different TMN2 monolayers, we well rationalized the superior catalytic activity of IrN2 monolayer for ORR/OER. Our findings not only further enrich 2D nanomaterials with hypercoordinate structure, but also open a new door to develop bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with high efficiency. Common amphiphilic drug molecules often have a more rigid nonpolar part than conventional surfactants. The rigidity is expected to influence the self-assembling properties and possibly give rise to aggregation patterns different from that of regular surfactants. We have investigated self-assembling properties of the hydrochloride salts of adiphenine (ADP), pavatrine (PVT), and amitriptyline (AMT) at concentrations up to 50wt% using small-angle x-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, and surface tension measurements. All drugs form small micelles of oblate spheroidal shape at concentrations above the critical micelle concentrations (CMC). The micelles grow weakly in size up to about 20wt%, where the aggregation number reaches a maximum followed by a slight decrease in size at higher drug concentrations. We observe a correlatio
