Predicting Thermodynamic Properties of R1234yf/R152a Mixtures Using Machine Learning and PRSV Equation of state

This study demonstrates that machine learning models, particularly Gradient Boosting for compressibility factor and SVR-RBF for density, outperform or match the accuracy of the PRSV and Tait equations of state in predicting the thermodynamic properties of R1234yf/R152a refrigerant mixtures based on experimental PVTx data.

Harnessing a transient liquid-metal flux for the ultrafast photoforging of compositionally complex oxide nanoarchitectures

This paper introduces an ultrafast "photoforging" strategy that utilizes a transient liquid-metal flux and intense pulsed light to kinetically trap up to ten cations into metastable, single-phase compositionally complex oxide nanoarchitectures directly on substrates, enabling the creation of high-performance, binder-free electrodes for water splitting.

Comparative Evaluation of Quality Attributes and In Vitro Dissolution Profile Similarity of Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg Tablets Marketed in Sudan: Implications for Bioequivalence and Generic Interchangeability

This study evaluated five metformin hydrochloride 500 mg tablet brands marketed in Sudan, finding that while most complied with standard pharmacopeial quality tests, only two demonstrated dissolution profiles similar to the innovator product, highlighting that single-point quality compliance does not guarantee bioequivalence or generic interchangeability.
