31 Jul 2019TL;DR: The enhanced photocatalytic and the sensing property of Ag2S/NiO–ZnO can be attributed to the synergistic effects of strong visible light absorption, excellent charge separation, and remarkable surface properties.
Abstract: Visible light-driven Ag2S-grafted NiO–ZnO ternary nanocomposites are synthesized using a facile and cost-effective homogeneous precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties were extensively studied, confirming the formation of ternary nanocomposites. The surface area of the synthesized nanocomposites was calculated by electrochemical double-layer capacitance (Cdl). Ternary Ag2S/NiO–ZnO nanocomposites showed excellent visible light photocatalytic property which increases further with the concentration of Ag2S. The maximum photocatalytic activity was shown by 8% Ag2S/NiO–ZnO with a RhB degradation efficiency of 95%. Hydroxyl and superoxide radicals were found to be dominant species for photodegradation of RhB, confirmed by scavenging experiments. It is noteworthy that the recycling experiments demonstrated high stability and recyclable nature of the photocatalyst. Moreover, the electrochemical results indicated that the prepared nanocomposite exhibits remarkable activity toward...

TL;DR: The clouding phenomenon with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in combination with tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (Bu4NBr) is reported and an unusual CP-decreasing effect of thio compounds is observed, which is discussed in terms of direct interaction of these compounds with anionic SDS micelles.
Abstract: Here we report the clouding phenomenon with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in combination with tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (Bu4NBr). Cloud point (CP) vs [Bu4NBr] curves are constructed for various fixed [SDS], and the minimum Bu4NBr concentrations required to produce CP are determined. A relationship between [SDS] and [Bu4NBr] is established that exists down to fairly low [SDS]. The presence of aromatic hydrocarbons (added up to their solubility limits) decreases the CP of a fixed SDS−Bu4NBr system. Furthermore, an increase in hydrophobicity of the aromatic hydrocarbon decreases the CP. An unusual CP-decreasing effect of thio compounds is observed, which is discussed in terms of direct interaction of these compounds with anionic SDS micelles.

TL;DR: The directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV relative to the collision symmetry plane defined by the spectator nucleons and a negative slope of the rapidity-odd directed flow component with approximately 3 times smaller magnitude than found at the highest RHIC energy is observed.
Abstract: The directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV relative to the collision symmetry plane defined by the spectator nucleons. A negative slope of the rapidity-odd directed flow component with approximately 3 times smaller magnitude than found at the highest RHIC energy is observed. This suggests a smaller longitudinal tilt of the initial system and disfavors the strong fireball rotation predicted for the LHC energies. The rapidity-even directed flow component is measured for the first time with spectators and found to be independent of pseudorapidity with a sign change at transverse momenta p_{T} between 1.2 and 1.7 GeV/c. Combined with the observation of a vanishing rapidity-even p_{T} shift along the spectator deflection this is strong evidence for dipolelike initial density fluctuations in the overlap zone of the nuclei. Similar trends in the rapidity-even directed flow and the estimate from two-particle correlations at midrapidity, which is larger by about a factor of 40, indicate a weak correlation between fluctuating participant and spectator symmetry planes. These observations open new possibilities for investigation of the initial conditions in heavy-ion collisions with spectator nucleons.

TL;DR: Exploring the hypothesis of π-stacking may be a better option to control IAPP aggregation if researchers go through the mechanism of ρ-π interaction, which provides entropy driven energy and direction for self-assembly to control amyloidogenic aggregation.

TL;DR: Different regulatory mechanisms of Shh-GLI1 signaling vary according to the downstream target gene affected, the origin of the tissue, as well as epigenetic regulation of some of these genes.
Abstract: Background
The Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway is critical for cell growth and differentiation. Impairment of this pathway can result in both birth defects and cancer. Despite its importance in cancer development, the Shh pathway has not been thoroughly investigated in tumorigenesis of brain tumors. In this study, we sought to understand the regulatory roles of GLI1, the immediate downstream activator of the Shh signaling pathway on its downstream target genes PTCH1, Cyclin D2, Plakoglobin, NKX2.2 and PAX6 in medulloblastoma and astrocytic tumors.
