One major challenge for the further development of solid oxide fuel cells is obtaining high-performance cathode materials with sufficient stability against reactions with CO2 present in the ambient atmosphere. However, the enhanced stability is often achieved by using material systems
Antimony potassium tartrate (APT) is a complex salt that until recently was used worldwide as an antischistosomal drug. Treatment was efficacious only if APT was administered intravenously to humans at a near lethal total dose of 36 mg/kg. Because unconfirmed epidemiologic studies suggested there

Based on an inverted bulk band order, antimony thin films presumably could become topological insulators if quantum confinement effect opens up a gap in the bulk bands. Coupling between topological surface states (TSS) from opposite surfaces, however, tends to degrade or even destroy their novel
ZnO-based oxide films are emerging as high-performance semiconductors for field-effect transistors (FETs) in optoelectronics. Carrier mobility and stability in these FETs are improved by introducing indium (In) and gallium (Ga) cations, respectively. However, the strong trade-off between the
Antimony telluride has a low thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT < ∼0.3) because of a low Seebeck coefficient α arising from high degenerate hole concentrations generated by antimony antisite defects. Here, we mitigate this key problem by suppressing antisite defect formation using subatomic percent
Metabolomics has become an invaluable tool to unveil biology of pathogens, with immediate application to chemotherapy. It is currently accepted that there is not one single technique capable of obtaining the whole metabolic fingerprint of a biological system either due to their different
Phase ordering in the mixed-valence oxide Sb2O4 has been examined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that the ground-state total energies of the two phases (α and β) are almost degenerate and are highly sensitive to the choice of the approximation to the exchange correlation
Measurements at high spatial resolution by DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films) require a binding agent that is homogeneously distributed in the binding layer. Formation of ferrihydrite by in situ precipitation within a hydrogel has been previously shown to meet these requirements for the
BACKGROUND
Cutaneous leishmaniasis represents a difficult disease to manage in endemic areas. Systemic treatment is hampered by both expense and compliance. Side effects may play a major role in this aspect as well.
METHODS
The effectiveness of intralesional treatment of leishmaniasis was
BACKGROUND
Schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease, is endemic in many parts of the world. Schistosomal eggs may be found in almost any organ or tissue in the body, including the eye. The presence of schistosomal eggs in the eye can produce granuloma formation and inflammatory sequelae.
METHODS
A
As a traditional thermoelectric material with high thermoelectric performance at room temperature, antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) has been widely used in energy applications like power generation and refrigeration. By employing the "atomic transmutation" method, three
Three patients of histopathologically confirmed borderline-tuberculoid leprosy showing no acid-fast bacilli and with lesions confined to the face, 2 on the cheek and 1 on the forehead, were given multidrug therapy as recommended by the WHO for paucibacillary cases. Within 3 months the lesions showed
New phases with the general formula (MTe)(n)(Sb(2)Te(3))(Sb(2))(4) (n = 0, 1, 2, ; M = Ge, Ag) have been synthesized by quenching stoichiometric melts of the pure elements and subsequent annealing. These phases represent a combination of the well-known homologous series (Sb(2)Te(3))(m)(Sb(2))(k) and
Calcium stores were cytochemically demonstrated using a combined oxalate-pyroantimonate method in the neuromuscular junctions of the degenerating intersegmental muscles in the giant silkmoth Antheraea polyphemus. The elemental composition of punctate precipitates of the reaction product was
