High-throughput transparent and flexible electronics are essential technologies for next-generation displays, semiconductors, and wearable bio-medical applications. However, to manufacture a high-quality transparent and flexible electrode, conventional annealing processes generally require 5 min or more at a high temperature condition of 300 °C or higher. This high thermal budget condition is not only difficult to apply to general polymer-based flexible substrates, but also results in low-throughput.

The 266 nm photodissociation dynamics of 1-iodopropane and 2-iodopropane were studied using photofragment translational energy spectroscopy using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and electron impact ionization detection of products. The photochemistry of 1-iodopropane was found to be similar to that of iodomethane and iodoethane, with dominant production of I*(2P1/2), and no evidence (<0.21%) for HI + alkene formation.

Background: Children's health suffers disproportionately from the effects of poverty. The inverse care law states that those who need care the most are the least likely to receive it. Community paediatricians are well placed to address health inequalities in children.

Poor weekend handover has been implicated as one of the causes of observed higher mortality rates at weekends in UK hospitals. In a large teaching hospital we, a group of junior doctors, set about improving the quality and effectiveness of weekend handover. We used the Model for Improvement to implement a weekend handover sticker through an iterative process using multiple Plan/Do/Study/Act (PDSA) cycles.

Objective: This study evaluated the ability of beta-tricalcium phosphate particles (beta-TCP) and autograft (AUTO) to maintain joint surface morphology when used to supplement massive subchondral bone defects in a caprine model.

Design: This was a prospective, parallel arm study with 2 experimental arms and a control group.

Methods: Unilateral, 11 mm diameter, 25 mm deep cylindrical defects were created in tibial subchondral bone of anesthetized goats (n = 16) and filled with autograft or beta-tricalcium phosphate particles.
