We present the synthesis and visible-light-induced catalytic activity of one-dimensional (1D) TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) branched heterostructures. The 1D TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) heterostructures were prepared by RF reactive magnetron sputtering of V(2)O(5) onto electrospun TiO(2) nanofibers. Then, the samples were annealed at 300 °C for 2 h in air ambient to form the 1D TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) branched heterostructures. The photodecomposition rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) by the 1D TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) branched heterostructures under visible light was much faster than that of pure TiO(2) nanofibers, revealing that the visible-light-induced catalytic activity of the 1D TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) branched heterostructures was greatly improved. The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of the 1D TiO(2)/V(2)O(5) branched heterostructures can be ascribed to the coupling with a small bandgap semiconductor material V(2)O(5), where the absorption range is extended, the photogenerated electrons and holes are highly separated and the surface charge carrier transfer rate is promoted.

Single crystals of CeSbTe with a ZrSiS-type structure were synthesized using vapor transport method. The stoichiometry is deviated from the nominal composition, which may cause some disorder in this compound. The physical properties were characterized by measuring the magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, Hall resistivity and specific heat. One antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition related to Ce 3+ ions was found at T N = 2.62 K, and a field-induced metamagnetic transition was observed below T N . The moderately enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient γ = 41 mJ mol −1 • K −2 and the estimated Kondo temperature T K ∼ 1.3 K, indicate that CeSbTe is a moderately correlated AFM Kondo lattice compound with crystalline electric field effect. The carrier concentration of CeSbTe derived from the Hall coefficient is in the order of 10 21 cm −3 , lower than most Kondo metals, which indicates that CeSbTe is a low-carrier-density Kondo semimetal.

The duration of "exclusive" and "any breastfeeding" was below the Chinese and World Health Organization breastfeeding goals. Shorter duration of breastfeeding was associated with having grandparents residing within the same province, maternal age, illness and employment, gestational age, and delayed onset of lactogenesis.
