Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is widely used in biomaterial fabrication by virtue of its unique crystal structure and low environmental loading. Although various ion and molecule substitution methods into the OCP unit lattice have been introduced, it remains unclear which factors and mechanisms dominate the substitution process. Experimental studies have indicated that Na alkali metal ions are substituted at the P3 PO4 conjugated site in acidic to weakly acidic conditions and the P5 PO4 conjugated site in neutral to weak basic conditions. Ionic species calculation methods have indicated that the pair ratios of Na and HPO42− (NaHPO4−) are small in acidic reacting solutions but large under weakly basic conditions. Consequently, the roles played by NaHPO4− and ionic pair formation processes are thought to dominate ion and molecule substitution into the OCP unit lattice. Such ionic pair formation strongly inhibits dicarboxylic acid substitution into the OCP unit lattice due to the replacement of the Ca ion, which conjugates P5 PO4 as an anchor of dicarboxylic acid.

We synthesized Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 nanostructures for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, by electrochemical anodization of Ti-1Ni-5Si alloy foils in ethylene glycol/glycerol solutions containing a small amount of water. The effects of annealing temperature on PEC properties of Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 photoanode were investigated. We found that the Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 photoanode annealed at 700 °C had an anatase-rutile mixed phase and exhibited the highest photocurrent density of 1.15 mA/cm2 at 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), corresponding to a photoconversion efficiency of 0.70%, which was superior to Ni-doped and Si-doped TiO2. This improvement in PEC water splitting could be attributed to the extended light absorption, faster charge transfer, possibly lower charge recombination, and longer lifetime.

Data on live birds and previously published data reveal that female Dotterel (Charadrius morinellus) were on average larger than males for all measurements. However, sexual dimorphism on the basis of size appears weaker than expected when Dotterel are compared with closely related monogamous species. Female museum specimens have less disrupted (brighter) plumage colours than males, and dimorphism in plumage is more pronounced than it is in size. A discriminant analysis based on plumage characters did not separate the sexes totally, however. Females moult earlier in the spring than males, but summer plumage is still not fully developed for all females by the first period of pair formation, suggesting that female plumage is most important in reproduction only after the first clutch is complete. No significant differences were evident in wing length and plumage colour between 1882–1917 and 1957–1982. Time–activity studies on the polyandrous Dotterel during the arrival, prelaying, and egg-laying periods showed small differences between the sexes in the amount of time devoted to agonistic and courtship behaviour. Data from prelaying periods showed no difference between the sexes as to who initiates bouts of courtship and agonistic behaviour. The behaviour of paired birds was highly synchronized. Three hypotheses on the slight sexual dimorphism in size and plumage of this polyandrous species are presented and discussed.
