Red‐Tuned Mn d–d Emission in Doped Semiconductor Nanocrystals
Authors: Pradhan Narayan 
Published: December 2015

AbstractLight‐emitting Mn‐doped semiconductor nanocrystals have been extensively studied for the last three decades for their intense and stable Mn d–d emission. In principle, this emission should be fixed at 585 nm (yellow), but recent studies have shown that the emission can be widely tuned even to 650 nm (red). This is a spectacular achievement as this would make Mn‐doped nanocrystals efficient and tunable light emitters. Keeping these developments in view, the chemistry of the synthesis of these materials, their photophysical processes and the expected origins of their red emission are summarized in this Minireview. All the related important studies from 1992 onwards are chronologically discussed, and one particular case is elaborated on in detail. As these materials are potentially important for biology, and photovoltaic, sensing and light‐emitting devices, this Minireview is expected to help researchers investigating the chemistry, physics and applications of these materials.
Ultrafine Nanocrystalline CeO2@C‐Containing NaAlH4 with Fast Kinetics and Good Reversibility for Hydrogen Storage
Authors: Zhang Xin , Liu Yongfeng , Wang Ke , Li You , Gao Mingxia , Pan Hongge 
Published: December 2015

AbstractA nanocrystalline CeO2@C‐containing NaAlH4 composite is successfully synthesized in situ by hydrogenating a NaH‐Al mixture doped with CeO2@C. Compared with NaAlH4, the as‐prepared CeO2@C‐containing NaAlH4 composite, with a minor amount of excess Al, exhibits significantly improved hydrogen storage properties. The dehydrogenation onset temperature of the hydrogenated [NaH‐Al‐7 wt % CeO2@C]‐0.04Al sample is 77 °C lower than that of the pristine sample because of a reduced kinetic barrier. More importantly, the dehydrogenated sample absorbs ∼4.7 wt % hydrogen within 35 min at 100 °C and 10 MPa of hydrogen. Compositional and structural analyses reveal that CeO2 is converted to CeH2 during ball milling and that the newly formed CeH2 works with the excess of Al to synergistically improve the hydrogen storage properties of NaAlH4. Our findings will aid in the rational design of novel catalyst‐doped complex hydride systems with low operating temperatures, fast kinetics, and long‐term cyclability.

Acute Myocardial Infarction, Use of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, and Mortality: A Comparative Effectiveness Analysis Covering Seven European Countries
Authors: Hagen Terje P. , Häkkinen Unto , Belicza Eva , Fatore Giovanni , Goude Fanny ,   on behalf of the EuroHOPE study group
Published: December 2015

AbstractPercutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have increased substantially in the last 12–15 years because of its clinical effectiveness. The expansion of PCI treatment for AMI patients raises two questions: How did PCI utilization rates vary across European regions, and which healthcare system and regional characteristic variables correlated with the utilization rate? Were the differences in use of PCI associated with differences in outcome, operationalized as 30‐day mortality? We obtained our results from a dataset based on the administrative information systems of the populations of seven European countries. PCI rates were highest in the Netherlands, followed by Sweden and Hungary. The probability of receiving PCI was highest in regions with their own PCI facilities and in healthcare systems with activity‐based reimbursement systems. Thirty‐day mortality rates differed considerably between the countries with the highest rates in Hungary, Scotland, and Finland. Mortality was lowest in Sweden and Norway. The associations between PCI and mortality were remarkable in all age groups and across most countries. Despite extensive risk adjustment, we interpret the associations both as effects of selection and treatments. We observed a lower effect of PCI in the higher age groups in Hungary.
