The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to value-added products is a remarkable approach for mitigating CO₂ emissions caused by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels. However, achieving the electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ still faces some bottlenecks, including the large overpotential, undesirable selectivity, and slow electron transfer kinetics. Various electrocatalysts including metals, metals oxides, alloys, and single-atom catalysts have been widely researched to suppress HER performance, reduce overpotential and enhance the selectivity of CO₂RR over the last few decades. Among them, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted a great deal of interest because of their advantages over traditional electrocatalysts such as maximized atomic utilization, tunable coordination environments and unique electronic structures. Herein, we discuss the mechanisms involved in the electroreduction of CO₂ to carbon monoxide (CO) and the fundamental concepts related to electrocatalysis. Then, we present an overview of recent advances in the design of high-performance noble and non-noble singleatom catalysts for the CO₂ reduction reaction.

In this paper we introduce the concepts of the weak $Denjoy_*$ integral of real-valued functions and the weak $Denjoy_*$-Dunford, weak $Denjoy_*$-Pettis, weak $Denjoy_*$-Bochner, weak $Denjoy_*$-McShane integrals of Banach-valued functions and then investigate some of their properties.

For a fixed semi-Wakamatsu-tilting module _AT, we generalize the concepts of Auslander class, Bass class, and investigate many homological properties of such classes. Moreover, we establish an equivalence between the class of ∞-T-cotorsionfree modules and a subclass of the class of T-adstatic modules. Finally, a similar version of Auslander-Bridger approximation theorem and a nice property of relative cotranspose are obtained.

In this current study, we aim to give some applications on fourth-order differential subordination for p-valent meromorphic functions in the region U^* = {z ∈ ℂ : 0 < |z| < 1} = U∖{0}, where U = {z ∈ ℂ : |z| < 1} , involving the linear operator 𝓛^*_pf. By making use of basic concepts in theory of the fourth-order, we find new outcomes.

The notions of soft rough pre open set, soft rough pre closed set, soft rough dense set, soft rough sub maximal, soft rough pre interior and soft rough pre closure are introduced and studied. We also investigate some related properties of these concepts.

In the present manuscript, we employ the concepts of Θ-map and Φ-map to define a strong (𝜃, 𝜙)s-contraction of a map f in a b-metric space (M, d_b). Then we prove and derive many fixed point theorems as well as we provide an example to support our main result. Moreover, we utilize our results to obtain many results in the settings of metric and G-metric spaces. Our results improve and modify many results in the literature.

A new reactor concept is described that directly couples a supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) power cycle with a CO₂-cooled, heavy water moderated pressure tube core. This configuration attains the simplification and economic potential of past direct-cycle sCO₂ concepts, while also providing safety and power density benefits by using the moderator as a heat sink for decay heat removal. A 200 MWe design is described that heavily leverages existing commercial nuclear technologies, including reactor and moderator systems from Canadian CANDU reactors and fuels and materials from UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs). Descriptions are provided of the power cycle, nuclear island systems, reactor core, and safety systems, and the results of safety analyses are shown illustrating the ability of the design to withstand large-break loss of coolant accidents. The resulting design attains high efficiency while employing considerably fewer systems than current light water reactors and advanced reactor technologies, illustrating its economic promise. Prospects for the design are discussed, including the ability to demonstrate its technologies in a small (~20 MWe) initial system, and avenues for further improvement of the design using advanced technologies.

In this research work, we introduce and investigate four innovative types of soft spaces, pushing the boundaries of traditional spatial concepts. These new types of soft spaces are named as soft T_b space, soft T^#_b space, soft T^##_b space and soft_αT^#_b space. Through rigorous analysis and experimentation, we uncover and propose distinct characteristics that define and differentiate these spaces. In this research work, we have established that every soft $T_{\frac{1}{2}}$ space is a soft _αT^#_b space, every soft T_b space is a soft _αT^#_b space, every soft T^#_b space is a soft _αT^#_b space, every soft T_b space is a soft T^#_b space, every soft T^#_b space is a soft T^##_b space, every soft $T_{\frac{1}{2}}$ space is a soft ^#T_b space and every soft T_b space is a soft #T_b space.

The corpus luteum (CL) is a temporary endocrine gland whose main function is to secrete progesterone to support pregnancy. On the other hand, the cyclic bovine CL has also been shown to be a site of prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ ($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$) production. Although there is general agreement that endometrial $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ is an essential luteolysin in cattle, luteal $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ seems to play a luteotropic role as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor, especially for the development and maintenance of the CL. This supposition is based on evidence that some of the prerequisites for autocrine/paracrine mechanisms are present, including local production of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ and the existence of specific binding sites within the CL. The purpose of this paper is to review the regulation of luteal $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ secretion, its action on CL as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor and the receptivity of bovine CL to. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$.

In this paper, we study the basic theory of the category of graded w-Noetherian modules over a graded ring R. Some elementary concepts, such as w-envelope of graded modules, graded w-Noetherian rings and so on, are introduced. It is shown that: (1) A graded domain R is graded w-Noetherian if and only if R^g_𝔪 is a graded Noetherian ring for any gr-maximal w-ideal m of R, and there are only finite numbers of gr-maximal w-ideals including a for any nonzero homogeneous element a. (2) Let R be a strongly graded ring. Then R is a graded w-Noetherian ring if and only if R_e is a w-Noetherian ring. (3) Let R be a graded w-Noetherian domain and let a ∈ R be a homogeneous element. Suppose 𝖕 is a minimal graded prime ideal of (a). Then the graded height of the graded prime ideal 𝖕 is at most 1.
