Synthesis of MgFe2O4/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite and Its Visible-Light Photocatalytic Performance for Organic Pollution by Fengmin Wu, Wenlu Duan, Mei Li, Hang Xu

“…In this paper, to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of MgFe2O4, a MgFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (MFO/rGO) photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile generalized solvothermal method. The morphology, structure, and photocatalytic activities in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) reaction were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. …”

The effect of prone positioning on maternal haemodynamics and fetal wellbeing in the third trimester-A primary cohort study with a scoping review. by Laura Ormesher, Jessica Catchpole, Linda Peacock, Heather Pitt, Anastasia Fabian-Hunt, Dexter Hayes, Claudia Popp, Jason M Carson, Raoul van Loon, Lynne Warrander, Karli Büchling, Alexander E P Heazell

“…Anxiety was reduced after the procedure, compared to beforehand (p = 0.002), despite a marginal decline in comfort (p = 0.04).The model predicted that if occlusion of the inferior vena cava occurred, the sBP, dBP and CO would generally decrease. However, the TVR remained relatively consistent, which implies that the MAP and CO decrease at a similar rate when occlusion occurs. …”

« Je ne suis pas un zéro ». Pour une distinction entre absence d’article et article zéro en anglais contemporain by Florent Moncomble

“…Most interpretations of the absence of marked determiners in English are monolithic, insofar as they contend that all uses can be grouped under one heading, generally “zero article”. Some linguists argue that the expression “absence of article” would be more appropriate, yet do not question the validity of the monolithic approach.In this article, we support the idea that a number of structures involving the absence of a marked determiner are indeed cases where no determination whatsoever occurs. …”
