Optical properties and shape-dependent retrievals of the imaginary part of the refractive index of freshly emitted Saharan dust

Abstract. Mineral dust is a major contributor to atmospheric aerosols and plays a complex role in Earth’s radiation budget. However, large uncertainties remain in quantifying its direct radiative effects (DRE), primarily due to poorly constrained absorption properties. Most estim...

Balanced domination in convex polytopes, trees, and grid graphs

This paper addresses two open questions posed in Xu et al. (2021) regarding the balanced domination number in graphs. We show that three new classes of graphs—those of convex polytopes A n , D n , and R n ′ ′ —are d -balanced. Further, we provide a characterization of d -balanced...

Fetal Magnetocardiography Using Optically Pumped Magnetometers: A Literature Review

Fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) provides direct non-invasive assessment of fetal cardiac electrophysiology, enabling detailed evaluation of cardiac rhythm, conduction, and repolarization. However, the clinical adoption of conventional fMCG has been limited by its reliance on sup...

Silver‐Modulated Copper Dynamics Under Pulsed Tandem Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction

ABSTRACT Pulsed electrolysis and Cu‐Ag tandem catalysis are both promising strategies for electrochemical CO 2 reduction, yet their interplay remains unclear. Here, we show that pulsed operation does not preserve the as‐prepared Cu‐Ag catalyst and instead generates a dynamic bime...

In Vitro Evaluationof Silica-Coated Bi2Se3 Nanoplatelets as PhotothermalNanomaterials

Abstract Silica-coated Bi2Se3 nanoplatelets were evaluated in vitro for their photothermal properties and biological response as a more biocompatible alternative to previously reported glycol-coated Bi2Se3 systems. The assessment was performed using HeLa cells under 808 nm laser...
