For the calculation of X-ray intensities emitted by elements present in multi-layer systems it is vital to have an accurate knowledge of the x-ray ionization vs. mass-depth (ϕ(ρz)) curves as a function of accelerating voltage and atomic number of films and substrate. Once this knowledge is available the way is open to the analysis of thin films in which both the thicknesses as well as the compositions can usually be determined simultaneously.Our bulk matrix correction “PROZA” with its proven excellent performance for a wide variety of applications (e.g., ultra-light element analysis, extremes in accelerating voltage) has been used as the basis for the development of the software package discussed here. The PROZA program is based on our own modifications of the surface-centred Gaussian ϕ(ρz) model, originally introduced by Packwood and Brown. For its extension towards thin film applications it is required to know how the 4 Gaussian parameters α, β, γ and ϕ(o) for each element in each of the films are affected by the film thickness and the presence of other layers and the substrate.

Self-standing macrocellular titanosilicate monolith foams are obtained using a one-pot sol-gel route and show excellent performance in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. Thanks to the High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) templating method, the materials feature a high void fraction, a hierarchically porous texture and good mechanical strength. Highly dispersed Ti species can be incorporated in tetrahedral coordination the silica matrix. These characteristics allow the obtained ‘SiTi(HIPE)’ materials to reach high catalytic turnover in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. The monoliths can advantageously be used to run the reaction in continuous flow mode.<br>

The problem of synthesizing adequate inductive invariants lies at the heart of automated software verification. The state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for synthesizing invariants have gradually shown its excellent performance. However, synthesizing disjunctive invariants is a difficult task. In this paper, we propose a method k++ Support Vector Machine (SVM) integrating k-means++ and SVM to synthesize conjunctive and disjunctive invariants. At first, given a program, we start with executing the program to collect program states. Next, k++SVM adopts k-means++ to cluster the positive samples and then applies SVM to distinguish each positive sample cluster from all negative samples to synthesize the candidate invariants. Finally, a set of theories founded on Hoare logic are adopted to check whether the candidate invariants are true invariants. If the candidate invariants fail the check, we should sample more states and repeat our algorithm. The experimental results show that k++SVM is compatible with the algorithms for Intersection Of Half-space (IOH) and more efficient than the tool of Interproc. Furthermore, it is shown that our method can synthesize conjunctive and disjunctive invariants automatically

Normally, antibiotics are used for the growth inhibition of a variety of pathogens. The ever- increasing resistance of the various disease-causing pathogens to the antibiotics has drawn tremendous attention of researchers to find efficient alternatives. The recent era of modern material science and nanotechnology has made it possible to replace the existing antibiotics up to some extent. Currently, a vast library of materials has been prepared, which shows excellent performance against pathogens. Such materials consist of certain metals. Through this review, we present some notable studies concerning the antimicrobial activities of various metal containing compounds and their mode of action.

Abstract The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has begun implementing HIV self-testing to boost the first “95” of the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets by 2025. This study aims to assess the performance and usability of the Exacto Test HIV (Biosynex, Strasbourg, France) self-test in the lab and in the field. The Exacto Test HIV self-test demonstrated high virological performance (sensitivity, 99.6%; specificity, 100%) in the lab and in the field in the hand of untrained users (sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 98.9%). Taken together, the excellent performance and usability characteristics of the Exacto Test HIV (Biosynex) self-test make the kit a viable option for HIV self-testing in the DRC.
