(E)-1-[4-(Methyl­sulfan­yl)phen­yl]-3-phenyl­prop-2-en-1-one

In the title mol­ecule, C16H14OS, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 3.81 (15)°. The H atoms of the central enone group are trans. The propenone unit makes dihedral angles of 11.73 (18) and 11.62 (17)° with the benzene and phenyl rings, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions

(E)-1-(3-Bromo­phen­yl)-3-(4-ethoxy­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The title compound, C17H15BrO2, adopts an E configuration. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 10.09 (11)°. The enone plane makes dihedral angles of 12.05 (11) and 9.87 (11)°, respectively, with the bromo­phenyl and ethoxy­phenyl rings. The eth­oxy group is nearly coplanar with the attached benzene ring. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag ribbon-like structure along the b-axis direction

(E)-3-(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)-1-[4-(methyl­sulfan­yl)phen­yl]prop-2-en-1-one

In the title mol­ecule, C16H13FOS, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.68 (6)°. The H atoms of the central enone group are trans and one H atom is involved in a close intra­molecular C—H⋯O contact. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions

High-Entropy Alloys: Potential Candidates for High-Temperature Applications – An Overview

Multi-principal elemental alloys, commonly referred to as high-entropy alloys (HEAs), are a new class of emerging advanced materials with novel alloy design concept. Unlike the design of conventional alloys, which is based on one or at most two principal elements, the design of HEA is based on multi-principal elements in equal or near-equal atomic ratio. The advent of HEA has revived the alloy design perception and paved the way to produce an ample number of compositions with different combinations of promising properties for a variety of structural applications. Among the properties possessed by HEAs, sluggish diffusion and strength retention at elevated temperature have caught wide attention. The need to develop new materials for high-temperature applications with superior high-temperature properties over superalloys has been one of the prime concerns of the high-temperature materials research community. The current article shows that HEAs have the potential to replace Ni-base superalloys as the next generation high-temperature materials. This review focuses on the phase stability, microstructural stability, and high-temperature mechanical properties of HEAs. This article will be highly beneficial for materials engineering and science community whose interest is in the development and understanding of HEAs for high-temperature applications.1112sciescopu

Re-irradiation after stereotactic body radiotherapy for spine metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma: a case report

Modern radiotherapy machines with refinements in planning software and image-guidance apparatuses have made stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) more widely available as an effective tool in the management of spine metastases. In conventional palliative radiotherapy, the aim has traditionally been pain relief and short-term local control. In contrast, SBRT aims to deliver an ablative dose to enhance local control, with a smaller number of fractions while sparing the organs at risk (OAR), especially the spinal cord. Recently, trials have asserted the role of spine SBRT as an effective modality for durable local control, in addition to achieving pain relief. The quality of evidence for spine SBRT data is maturing, while prospective published trials on re-irradiation SBRT in spine remain sparse. The purpose of the present case report is to share the challenges faced while salvaging a dorsal spine metastasis and ablating a new right adrenal metastatic lesion in proximity of the transplanted liver
