Microbial Surface Confined Growth Strategy for the Synthesis of Highly Loaded NiCoP Nanoparticles with Hollow Derived Carbon Shells for Sodium Ion Capture by Jianhua Yuan, Tianxiao Sun, Jinfeng Chen, Runhong Zhou, Jianglin Cao, Fei Yu, Liqing Li, Xiumin Zhong, Jie Ma

“…A novel microbial surface confined growth strategy is employed to synthesize highly loaded NiCoP nanoparticles (NiCoP NPs) supported on hollow derived carbon shells (NPC), constructing a stable composite structure known as NiCoP@NPC. The highly loaded and uniformly dispersed NiCoP NPs are anchored in‐situ and fully exposed, enabling enhanced electron and ion transport efficiency and thereby boosting pseudocapacitance. …”

Radiographic outcomes and subsidence rate in hyperlordotic versus standard lordotic interbody spacers in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion by Rajkishen Narayanan, Nicholas B. Pohl, Jonathan Dalton, Yunsoo Lee, Alexa Tomlak, Anthony Labarbiera, Meryem Guler, Emilie Sawicki, Sebastian I. Fras, Mark F. Kurd, John J. Mangan, Ian David Kaye, Jose A. Canseco, Alan S. Hilibrand, Alexander R. Vaccaro, Christopher K. Kepler, Gregory D. Schroeder, Joseph K. Lee

“…Background: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgery for patients with degenerative cervical disease and current interbody spacers utilized vary based on material composition, structure, and angle of lordosis. Currently, there is a lack of literature comparing subsidence rates or long-term radiographic outcomes with hyperlordotic and standard lordotic spacers. …”

Physico-Chemical Properties of Granular Sorbents Based on Natural Bentonite Modified by Polyhydroxocations of Aluminum and Iron (III) by Co-Precipitation by Bakytgul Kussainova, Gaukhar Tazhkenova, Ivan Kazarinov, Marina Burashnikova, Raigul Ramazanova, Yelena Ivashchenko, Bekzat Saurbayeva, Batima Tantybayeva, Ainur Seitkan, Gulsim Matniyazova, Khalipa Sadiyeva, Aisha Nurlybayeva, Aidana Bazarkhankyzy

“…It was found that modification of natural bentonite with iron (III) polyhydroxocations (mod. 1_Fe_5 GA) and aluminum (III) (mod. 1_Al_5 GA) by the “co-precipitation” method leads to a change in their chemical composition, structure, and sorption properties. It is shown that modified sorbents based on natural bentonite are finely porous (nanostructured) objects with a predominance of pores measuring 1.5–8.0 nm, with a specific surface area of 55–65 m²/g. …”

Ecological impacts of single-axis photovoltaic solar energy with periodic mowing on microclimate and vegetation by Yudi Li, Yudi Li, Alona Armstrong, Alona Armstrong, Christopher Simmons, Noah Z. Krasner, Noah Z. Krasner, Rebecca R. Hernandez, Rebecca R. Hernandez, Rebecca R. Hernandez, Rebecca R. Hernandez

“…Marked differences in vegetation across micro-patches indicated that GPVs drive changes in plant community composition, structure, and productivity. Compared to open spaces, vegetation near and within the PV array footprint displayed greater species richness (+8.4%), taller maximum height (+21%), reduced coverage of sun-loving plants (−71%), and less dead biomass accumulation (−26%), from shade-driven effects. …”
