Synthesis, Analysis, and Testing of BiOBr-Bi2WO6 Photocatalytic Heterojunction Semiconductors by Xiangchao Meng, Zisheng Zhang

“…The experimental conditions, including initial concentration, pH, and catalyst dosage, were explored and the photocatalysts in this system were proven stable enough to be reused for several runs. Moreover, the interpreted mechanism of the heterojunction enhancement effect proved that the synthesis of a heterojunction structure provided an effective method to decrease the recombination rate of the electron-hole pairs, thereby improving the photocatalytic activity.…”

DIFFERING APPROACHES OF THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT TOWARDS THE “HISTORY ISSUES” by A. A. Batakova

“…By contrast, incumbent Prime Minister S.Abe, who is also striving to increase the role of Japan in the international arena, shows a gradual departure from the above-mentioned strategy on presumption that a "masochistic" view of Japanese history runs counter to its national interests. His statement on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II promoted a thesis on importance to lift "the burden of apologies". …”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Evolution Characteristics of Dry and Wet Events in Sichuan Province from 1960 to 2019 by HUANG Yi, LI Yunyun, FAN Jingjing, ZHENG Junwei, ZHANG Qing

“…Sichuan Province has a large population and experiences substantial regional climate heterogeneity,resulting in differential sensitivity of dryness and wetness to meteorological changes.Examining the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of dryness and wetness can provide a basis for local departments to take countermeasures against climate change.The dry and wet events in Sichuan from 1960 to 2019 and their intergenerational and seasonal characteristics are identified and described based on run theory.The trend,significance,and periodicity of dry and wet events are described by the Mann-Kendall test and wavelet analysis.The results show that Sichuan Province experienced the highest frequency of dry and wet events in the 1990s and the lowest frequency of the events in the 2000s.Western Sichuan is the driest,while eastern Sichuan is the wettest,with both reaching peak dry and wet event counts in the 1980s.In Sichuan,drought events occur mainly in spring and winter,while humid events occur mainly in summer and autumn.Drought events occur mainly in western Sichuan in spring,and humid events occur mainly in western and northern Sichuan in autumn.The western and northern Sichuan areas tend to be humid,while the southern and eastern Sichuan areas tend to be dry.Except for southern Sichuan,the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) sequence in summer shows a downward trend in other areas,while the downward trend of the SPEI sequence in winter slows down in western and eastern Sichuan areas.…”

Dynamical quantum maps for single-qubit gates under universal non-Markovian noise by J. M. Sánchez Velázquez, A. Steiner, R. Freund, M. Guevara-Bertsch, Ch. D. Marciniak, T. Monz, A. Bermudez

“…We gauge our predictions for experimentally relevant metrics against established characterization techniques run on a trapped-ion quantum computer. In particular, we find that experimental estimates of average gate errors measured through randomized benchmarking and reconstructed via quantum process tomography are tightly lower-bounded by our analytical estimates, while the depolarizing model overestimates the gate error. …”

Intention to seek information on cancer genetics by J.E. Andrews, J.D. Johnson, D.O. Case, S. Allard, K. Kelly

“…</b> The results show that intention to seek cancer genetics information, if testing were readily available, is moderately high (62.5% of those responding; n=835), and that status as a racial minority, the perception that cancer runs in one's family, and frequent worrying about cancer risk are statistically significant predictors of intent to seek genetics information. …”

What was Killing Babies in Hermoupolis, Greece? An Investigation of Infant Mortality Using Individual Level Causes of Death, 1861–1930 by Michail Raftakis

“…Given the scarcity of cause of death data both at the individual and aggregate level in Greece roughly prior to the 1920s, the availability of such data in the draft death registers (for sporadic runs of years in the second half of the 19th and early 20th century) and the civil registration (from 1916 onwards) in Hermoupolis provides a deeper understanding of the history of cause-of-death reporting in the country. …”
