Solar-driven hydrogen production from a water-splitting cycle based on carbon-TiO2 nano-tubes حسب Almomani F.

"…The C-Ti-NTs were prepared using an alkaline hydrothermal method, characterized using different state of art techniques and tested for the S-DPOH via water splitting. Adding a carbon layer on the surface of TiO2 nano-tube with a thickness of ~1 nm reduced the bandgap of the C-Ti-NTs 0.88 eV, improved the quantum efficiency under UV light to 100%, enhanced the absorption capacity under VIS-light and extremely suppressed the charge recombination. …"

The Association between Zinc and Copper Circulating Levels and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults: A Study of Qatar Biobank Data حسب Kerkadi, Abdelhamid

"…High Zn/Cu ratio increased the prevalence of low HDL (4.508; p < 0.001) and MetS (5.570; p < 0.01). These findings suggest that high plasma Cu levels are associated with a protective effect on DBP, HDL and MetS and that high plasma Zn/Cu ratio is associated with the risk of having low HDL and MetS.…"
