Abstract:
A novel compound with four mixed anions, Y8O(OH)15(CO3)3Cl, exhibiting an infrequent three-dimensional (3-D) inorganic cationic framework, has been successfully designed and synthesized by introducing π-conjugated planar triangular CO3 groups and chloride anions into a rare earth oxide system, which exhibits good balance among its wide UV transmission range, large second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient and suitable birefringence to meet the phase-matching condition, indicating that the titled compound is a promising short-wave UV nonlinear optical material.

Nonlinear drug absorption can occur when the process is rate-limited by solubility, carrier-mediated transport systems, or saturation of the presystemic gut wall or hepatic metabolism. For instance, high doses of riboflavin...
Microsoft Excel: Plotting Mean, SD, and SE
First, calculate the mean, SD, and SE of your data. The mean is obtained using the formula `=AVERAGE(range)`, while SD can be calculated with `=STDEV.P(range)` for a population or `=STDEV.S(range)` for a sample. SE is calculated as `=SD/SQRT(n)`, where `n` is the sample size.
To plot these values, use a bar...
