Association of subjective memory complaints amid patients of Diabetes Mellitus Type II and Hypertension.

Background And Objective: Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) are suggested to predict dementia at a very early stage. However, association of SMCs with known risk factors of dementia namely diabetes mellitus Type-2 diabetes and hypertension (HTN) remain unexplored which is the main aim of this study. The objective of the study was to investigate the association of SMC with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and hypertension (HTN).

"Say Ahhh": Experience and Views on Halitosis Management in the General Public in Victoria, Australia.

Introduction: Halitosis is common and can have a significant impact on quality of life. It is attributed to both intraoral and extraoral causes. Although halitosis treatment depends on the aetiology, little is known about consumers' perception of halitosis causes and the types of assistance sought.

Constructing Caesium-Based Lead-Free Perovskite Photodetector Enabling Self-Powered Operation with Extended Spectral Response.

Since the discovery of the state-of-the-art hybrid halide perovskites, their application in optoelectronic systems has drawn considerable attention. However, the toxicity from lead (Pb) and the volatility induced by organic constituents hinder their future large-scale market development. Herein, a fully inorganic Pb-free halide perovskite based on robust CsBiI is synthesized and realized its potential in photodetector application.

Air-stable lead-free hybrid perovskite employing self-powered photodetection with an electron/hole-conductor-free device geometry.

In this study, we have demonstrated the fabrication of one of the few lead-free perovskite photodetectors reported to date. In particular, we fabricated the photodetector based on a methylammonium bismuth iodide, MA3Bi2I9 (MABI), structure that works under a self-powered mode of operation. The optoelectronic properties of the photodetector were investigated systematically.

Self-Powered Broadband Photodetector using Plasmonic Titanium Nitride.

We report the demonstration of plasmonic titanium nitride (TiN) for fabrication of an efficient hybrid photodetector. A novel synthesis method based on plasma nanotechnology is utilized for producing air stable plasma polymerized aniline-TiN (PPA-TiN) nanocomposite and its integration in photodetector geometry. The device performs as a self-powered detector that responds to ultraviolet and visible light at zero bias.

Plasmonic Hot Hole Generation by Interband Transition in Gold-Polyaniline.

Studies on hot carrier science and technology associated with various types of nanostructures are dominating today's nanotechnology research. Here we report a novel synthesis of polyaniline-gold (PAni-Au) nanocomposite thin films with gold nanostructures (AuNs) of desired shape and size uniformly incorporated in the polymer matrix. According to shape as well as size variation of AuNs, two tunable plasmonic UV-Visible absorption bands are observed in each of the nanocomposites.
