The new composite methods have been implemented in the CRYSTAL17 code, which efficiently implements hybrid functionals and enables routine application of the new methods to large-scale calculations of such materials with excellent performance, even with small-scale computing resources.Formamidinum lead iodide perovskite is one of the most promising materials for application in solar cells due to its narrow band gap and higher thermal stability. In this work, we demonstrate the facile synthesis of square-shaped formamidinium lead iodide single crystals on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates using a one-step vapour phase deposition method. Formamidinium lead iodide-based two-dimensional layered perovskite crystals were successfully synthesized by controlling the deposition conditions. These crystals exhibited a blue-shifted photoluminescence (PL) compared to the conventional formaminium lead iodide perovskite crystals. Power law fittings of the excitation power dependent PL spectra revealed that Auger heating becomes dominant at high excitation densities. In addition, we observed an asymmetric broadening of the PL peak tail at the high energy side, indicating light emission from hot carriers even under steady-state illumination conditions. Phonon-bottleneck effect and Auger heating were considered as the main mechanisms for retardation of hot carrier cooling. Further analysis of the high energy tails using Maxwell-Boltzmann fitting revealed hot-carrier temperatures as high as 690 K. Our findings provide an important aspect of the synthetic approach of perovskites for their potential application in hot carrier solar cells.In this study, a novel solid phase extraction method was constructed to detect three tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in urine with a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector. The sorbent MCN/BIF-20 was constructed by magnetic g-C3N4 (MCN) and boron imidazole framework-20 (BIF-20) and was characterized by multiple techniques. The experimental results of the adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics indicated that the composites had good adsorption of TKIs (148.33 mg g-1, 283.25 mg g-1, 188.17 mg g-1). The reason for the good adsorption property of the complex material was revealed by comparison with each single material. The analytical method was built by a single factor experiment, and was evaluated as a suitable method to detect TKIs in urine by its good accuracy (90.35-98.69%), precision (0.9997). The performance of the MCN/BIF-20 composite did not decrease dramatically in 3 cycles. These analytical results demonstrated that g-C3N4 and BIFs had a bright prospect in sample pretreatment, and the proposed approach based on MCN/BIF-20 was applicable for analysis of TKIs in urine.Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) exhibits anti-obesity activity, yet the underlying mechanism linking this effect to metabolic endotoxemia remains unexplored. For this purpose, high-fat diet-induced obese mice were orally administered with Sal B for 10 weeks. Hematoxylin/eosin staining, transmission electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate histopathological alterations in the white adipose tissue (WAT) and/or jejunums. The expression levels of genes related to fat and cholesterol synthesis in the WAT were determined by qPCR. The composition of fecal microbiota was profiled by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. Western blotting was employed to evaluate the relative protein expressions involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway in the WAT. Treatment of obese mice with Sal B improves insulin sensitivity, attenuates body weight gain and alleviates serum levels of LPS and tumor necrosis factor alpha, which is associated with an improvement in intestinal epithelial integrity and probiotic composition as well as a reduction in Gram-negative Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres. In addition, Sal B downregulates the expressions of TLR4 and myeloid differential factor-88, as well as the phosphorylation levels of Jun N-terminal kinase, nuclear factor-kappa B p65, and an insulin receptor substrate in the WAT. Selleck Temsirolimus In summary, Sal B may attenuate body weight gain and insulin resistance through the regulation of gut microbiota abundances and LPS/TLR4 signaling pathway in obese mice, suggesting Sal B could be a promising drug candidate for protection against obesity.Whether the reaction pathway is steady or dynamic over the whole life cycle of a catalyst process can facilitate our understanding of its catalytic behavior. Herein, the dynamic reaction pathways of nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts are investigated in acetylene hydrochlorination. When triggered, the reaction follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism with pyrrolic N and pyridinic N as dual active sites. However, pyridinic N is deactivated first, due to the strong adsorption of hydrogen chloride, causing the reaction to further run with pyrrolic N as the single active site and follow the Eley-Rideal mechanism. This work provides a new promising way to study the catalytic behavior of nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts.Serotonin is a neuromodulator implicated in depression that is often measured in real-time by fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV). A specialized "Jackson" waveform (JW, 0.2, 1.0 V, -0.1 V, 0.2 V, 1000 V s-1) was developed to reduce serotonin fouling, but the 1.0 V switching potential limits sensitivity and electrodes still foul. The goal of this study was to test the effects of extending the FSCV switching potential to increase serotonin sensitivity and decrease fouling. We compared the Jackson waveform, the dopamine waveform (DA, -0.4 V, 1.3 V, 400 V s-1), and two new waveforms the extended serotonin waveform (ESW, 0.2, 1.3, -0.1, 0.2, 1000 V s-1) and extended hold serotonin waveform (EHSW, 0.2, 1.3 (hold 1 ms), -0.1, 0.2, 400 V s-1). The EHSW was the most sensitive (LOD = 0.6 nM), and the JW the least sensitive (LOD = 2.4 nM). With the Jackson waveform, electrode fouling was significant with repeated injections of serotonin or exposure to its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Using the extended waveforms, electrodes fouled 50% less than with the Jackson waveform for both analytes. No electrode fouling was observed with the dopamine waveform because of the negative holding potential. The Jackson waveform was the most selective for serotonin over dopamine (800×), and the ESW was also highly selective. All waveforms were useful for measuring serotonin with optogenetic stimulation in Drosophila larvae. These results provide new FSCV waveforms to measure dynamic serotonin changes with different experimental requirements, like high sensitivity (EHSW), high selectivity (ESW, JW), or eliminating electrode fouling (DA).
