Some strategies such as "step-down", "intermittent" or "on-demand" therapy can cost-effectively improve the long-term management and quality of life of patients with recurrent GERD. The accurate interpretation of "step-down" therapeutic strategy and a careful interpretation of proton pump inhibitor refractoriness are also essential.Two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials with large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) hold great potential in realizing low critical switching current, high thermal stability and high density nonvolatile storage in magnetic random-access memories. Our first-principles calculations reveal that CrOF and CrOCl monolayers (MLs) are two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors with out-of-plane magnetic easy axis, and PMAs of CrOF and CrOCl MLs are mainly contributed by Cr atoms. The magnetic anisotropy of CrOF and CrOCl MLs can be controlled and enhanced by applying biaxial strain. Tensile strain can further enhance PMAs of CrOF and CrOCl MLs by 82.9% and 161.0% higher than those of unstrained systems, respectively. In addition, appropriate compressive strain can switch the magnetic easy axis of CrOF and CrOCl MLs from out-of-plane direction to in-plane direction. The semiconductor natures of CrOF and CrOCl MLs robust against biaxial strain, the band gaps of these systems under biaxial strain are in the range of 1.26 eV to 2.40 eV. By applying biaxial strain, the Curie temperatures of CrOF and CrOCl MLs increase up to 282 K and 163 K, respectively. These tunable properties suggest that CrOF and CrOCl MLs have great application potentials for magnetic data storage.Self-assembling bioinks offer the possibility to biofabricate with molecular precision, hierarchical control, and biofunctionality. For this to become a reality with widespread impact, it is essential to engineer these ink systems ensuring reproducibility and providing suitable standardization. We have reported a self-assembling bioink based on disorder-to-order transitions of an elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) to co-assemble with graphene oxide (GO). Here, we establish reproducible processes, optimize printing parameters for its use as a bioink, describe new advantages that the self-assembling bioink can provide, and demonstrate how to fabricate novel structures with physiological relevance. We fabricate capillary-like structures with resolutions down to ∼10µm in diameter and ∼2µm thick tube walls and use both experimental and finite element analysis to characterize the printing conditions, underlying interfacial diffusion-reaction mechanism of assembly, printing fidelity, and material porosity and permeability. We demonstrate the capacity to modulate the pore size and tune the permeability of the resulting structures with and without human umbilical vascular endothelial cells. Finally, the potential of the ELR-GO bioink to enable supramolecular fabrication of biomimetic structures was demonstrated by printing tubes exhibiting walls with progressively different structure and permeability.Al2Fe3Si3intermetallic compound shows promising application in low-cost and non-toxic thermoelectric device because of its relatively high power factor of ∼700μW m-1 K-2at 400 K. Herein we performed the first-principles calculations with the projector augmented-wave (PAW) method to study the formation energies, elastic constants, electronic structures, and electronic transport properties of Al2Fe3Si3. We discussed the thermodynamical stability of Al2Fe3Si3against other ternary crystalline compounds in Al-Fe-Si phase. The band gap of Al2Fe3Si3was particularly examined using the semilocal and hybrid functionals and the on-site Hubbard correction, which were also applied to β-FeSi2to calibrate the prediction reliability of our employed computational methods. Our calculations show that Al2Fe3Si3is a narrow-gap semiconductor. ML133 concentration The semilocal functional within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) shows an exceptional agreement between the predicted band gap of Al2Fe3Si3and the available experiment data, which is in contrast to the typical trend and rationally understood through a comprehensive comparison. We found that both HSE06 and PBE0 hybrid functionals with a standard setup overestimated the band gaps of Al2Fe3Si3and β-FeSi2too much. The underlying reasons may be ascribed to a large electronic screening, which arises from the unique characteristics of Fe 3dstates appearing in both sides of band gaps of Al2Fe3Si3and β-FeSi2, and to a reduced delocalization error thanks to the covalent Fe-Si and Si-Si bonding nature. The chemical bonding and elasticity of Al2Fe3Si3were compared with those of β-FeSi2and FeAl2. In Al2Fe3Si3the Fe-Al bonding is more ionic and the Fe-Si bonding is more covalent. The elastic moduli of Al2Fe3Si3are comparable to those of β-FeSi2and larger than those of FeAl2. Our calculation results indicate that the mechanical strength of Al2Fe3Si3could be strong enough for the practical application in thermoelectric device.Holey graphyne (HGY), a novel two-dementional 2D single-crystalline carbon allotrope, was recently synthesized by Castro-Stephens coupling reaction. The naturally existing uniform periodic holes in the 2D carbon-carbon network demonstrate its promising potential in the energy storage. Herein, we conducted density functional theory (DFT) calculation to predict the hydrogen storage capacity of HGY sheet. It is found the Li-decorated single-layer HGY can serve as a promising candidate for hydrogen storage. Our DFT calculations demonstrate that Li atoms can bind strongly to the HGY sheet without the formation of Li clusters, and each Li atom can anchor four H2 molecules with the average adsorption energy about 0.22 eV/H2. The largest hydrogen storage capacity of the doped HGY sheet can reach as high as 12.8 wt%, largely surpassing the target of the U. S. DOE (9 wt%), showing the Li/HGY complex is an ideal hydrogen storage material at ambient conditions. In addition, we investigate the polarization mechanism of the storage media and find that the polarization is originated from both the electric field induced by the ionic Li decorated on the HGY and the weak polarized hydrogen molecules dominated the H2 adsorption process.
