One way to tune the properties of such materials and to further increase their potential utility, e.g., in spintronics, is the formation of solid solutions. Here, we present a detailed theoretical and experimental study on the synthesis and nanoplatelet growth of CrBrxCl3–x and CrBrxI3–x solid solutions. Phase pure powder was obtained by tempering the respective parent compounds at 600 and 550 °C, using additional iodine in the case of CrBrxI3–x. The dominant stacking order changes at x = 1.8 for CrBrxCl3–x while remaining similar to CrI3 for the whole CrBrxI3–x series. A consecutive chemical vapor transport from 575 → 525 °C for 2 h (CrBrxCl3–x) or 600 → 550 °C for 3 h with 0.1 mmol additional iodine (CrBrxI3–x) resulted in the deposition of high-quality nanoplatelets on a substrate with only several nanometers in height. The composition can be controlled by the choice of the starting material, since only small shifts in the anion ratio occur during the transport. The deposited CrBrxCl3–x nanoplatelets can then be easily delaminated by ultrasonication in ethanol to reduce the height even further to few-layer dimensions. These nanoplatelets could potentially be used to investigate the property changes (e.g., in terms of magnetic response) for the downscaling of these solid solutions. We further demonstrate the quality of the deposited material by transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy of the solid solution series reveals a complex evolution of vibrational modes. Photoluminescence measurements on solid solution samples show emission peaks in the near-infrared energy range with the specific energy and intensity being composition and temperature dependent.

Eine einheitliche, angemessene und patientenorientierte ärztliche Indikationsstellung ist bei einem solchen Eingriff unerlässlich. Das Update der S2k-Leitlinie „Indikation Knieendoprothese“ beinhaltet auf aktueller Evidenz basierende und im breiten Konsens abgestimmte Empfehlungen und eine Checkliste im praxistauglichen Format.Für dieses Leitlinien-Update wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche nach (inter-)nationalen Leitlinien und systematischen Übersichtsarbeiten zur Gonarthrose und Knieendoprothetik durchgeführt, um klinisch relevante Fragestellungen zu Diagnostik, Prädiktoren für das Outcome, Risikofaktoren und Kontraindikatoren zu beantworten.Eine Knieendoprothese soll nur bei radiologisch nachgewiesener fortgeschrittener Gonarthrose (Kellgren-Lawrence-Grad 3 oder 4), nach vorangegangener konservativer Therapie über mindestens 3 Monate sowie bei hohem subjektivem Leidensdruck hinsichtlich der kniebezogenen Beschwerden und nach Ausschluss möglicher Kontraindikationen (Infektionen, Begleiterkrankungen, BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) erfolgen. Modifizierbare Risikofaktoren (wie Rauchen, Diabetes mellitus, Anämie) sollen zuvor adressiert und ggf. optimiert werden. Die Ziele der Patient*innen sollen erfragt und deren Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit gemeinsam besprochen werden. Schließlich ist die Entscheidung zur Knieendoprothese von Patient*in und Operateur*in gemeinsam zu treffen, wenn der zu erwartende Nutzen die möglichen Risiken überwiegt.Das Update der S2k-Leitlinie wurde um die unikondyläre Knieendoprothese erweitert, die präoperative Optimierung modifizierbarer Risikofaktoren ergänzt sowie Konkretisierungen der Hauptindikationskriterien vorgenommen.

In particular solutions based on two different blade designs, following e.g. alternating or AABB patterns, have proved to be promising in this regard and moreover robust against the impact of unavoidable random mistuning. Thus, for example, a 40 percent reduction of the first blade bending maximum forced response has been proved experimentally for a turbine impeller of a turbo charger application. Despite this success, the technical implementation of the frequency based mistuning pattern followed an academic solution based on locally removing material at the leading edge tip, which is not suited for the use in serial wheels since it may disturb the flow channel. In addition, the forced response of other blade modes may be affected in a negative manner. In order to overcome these problems, an alternative way of implementing Intentional Mistuning is suggested by applying a marginal geometric modification of the blade thickness distribution to adjust the natural frequency of the first bending mode. Finite element based shape optimization is utilized to this end. Secondary conditions are ensuring that only the target frequency of the first bending mode is adjusted whereas natural frequencies of other modes are kept almost unchanged.

Using all available features for classification typically results in an unacceptably high runtime and poor accuracy. Popular feature extraction methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and autoencoders, reduce feature dimensionality by extracting latent features that can be challenging to interpret. To enable better human interpretation of the classification model, we avoid extraction methods and instead propose applying feature selection methods. In this work, we develop an innovative PCA-based feature selection method for spectroscopic data, providing an essential subset of the original features. As an important advantage, no prior knowledge about the characteristic signals of the respective target substance is required. In this proof-of-concept study, the proposed method is initially characterized using simulated Raman and infrared absorption datasets. From the top five PCA eigenvectors of spectroscopic data, we identify a set of three top peaks each at specific wavenumbers (features). The compact set of selected features is then used for classification tasks applying a decision tree. Based on two well-defined spectroscopic datasets, our study demonstrates that our new method of PCA-based peak finding outperforms selected other approaches with regard to interpretability and accuracy. For both investigated datasets, accuracies greater than 97% are achieved. Our approach shows large potential for accurate classification combined with interpretability in further scenarios involving spectroscopic datasets.
