Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have transformed the landscape of modern healthcare, with automated radiology report generation (RRG) emerging as a cutting-edge application. While 2D MLLM-based RRG has been well established, its utility for 3D medical images remains largely unexplored. In this regard, we curate the 3D-BrainCT dataset (18,885 text-scan pairs) and develop BrainGPT, a clinically visual instruction-tuned (CVIT) model designed for 3D CT RRG.

In this study, a fractal absorber was designed to enhance light absorptivity and improve the efficiency of converting solar energy into electricity for a range of solar energy technologies. The absorber consisted of multiple layers arranged from bottom to top, and the bottom layer was made of Ti metal, followed by a thin layer of MgF atop it. Above the two layers, a structure comprising square pillars formed by three layers of Ti/MgF/Ti was formed.

A flexible, non-enzymatic glucose sensor was developed and tested on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The sensor's design involved printing Ag (silver) as the electrode and utilizing mixtures of either gold-copper oxide-modified reduced graphene oxide (Au-CuO-rGO) or gold-copper oxide-modified reduced graphene oxide-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Au-CuO-rGO-MWCNTs) as the carrier materials. A one-pot synthesis method was employed to create a nanocomposite material, consisting of Au-CuO-rGO mixtures, which was then printed onto pre-prepared flexible electrodes.

In this study, we utilized a sapphire substrate with a matrix protrusion structure as a template. We employed a ZnO gel as a precursor and deposited it onto the substrate using the spin coating method. After undergoing six cycles of deposition and baking, a ZnO seed layer with a thickness of 170 nm was formed.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the degradation effects of ZnO nanorods (NRs) grown on silicon (Si) and indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates on methylene blue (MB) at varying concentrations, synthesized at 100 °C for 3 hours.
  • The structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows differences in growth rates and sizes of ZnO NRs, with those on ITO growing slower and larger compared to those on Si.
  • Results indicate that ZnO NRs on ITO had a degradation rate of 59.5% for MB, which is slightly lower than the 73.7% for those on Si, with the study discussing reasons for

A novel method was proposed to fabricate a ZnO seed layer with a protrusion and matrix structure, and then ZnO nanorods could be synthesized on it using the hydrothermal method to form ZnO nanoflower arrays (NFAs) easily. A patterned sapphire with a matrix cavity was used as the template, ZnO gel was deposited on the multilayer substrates using spinning coating, and the prepared seed layer with a protrusion and an array-patterned structure was moved to a Si substrate using the lift-off method. Because the ZnO seed layer exhibited a matrix and protrusion structure, ZnO nanorods were grown vertically downwards and formed ZnO NFAs.

In this paper, the paper cups were used as the research objects, and the machine vision detection technology was combined with different image processing techniques to investigate a non-contact optical automatic detection system to identify the defects of the manufactured paper cups. The combined ring light was used as the light source, an infrared (IR) LED matrix panel was used to provide the IR light to constantly highlight the outer edges of the detected objects, and a multi-grid pixel array was used as the image sensor. The image processing techniques, including the Gaussian filter, Sobel operator, Binarization process, and connected component, were used to enhance the inspection and recognition of the defects existing in the produced paper cups.

In this study, [SrEu]MgSiO phosphors were sintered at 1200-1400 °C for 1-5 h by using the solid-state reaction method. The crystallinity and morphology of these phosphors were characterized through X-ray diffraction analysis and field-emission scanning electron microscopy, respectively, to determine their luminescence. The photoluminescence properties, including the excitation and emission properties, of the prepared phosphors were investigated through fluorescence spectrophotometry.

In this study, a sapphire substrate with a patterned concave structure was used to prepare ZnO film/A-B glue, and the ZnO film/A-B glue with a patterned convex matrix was transferred onto a silicon wafer using the lift-off technology as the seed layer. Then, the hydrothermal method with different Zn(CHCOO) and CHN concentrations as precursors was used to synthesize ZnO nanoflower arrays on the patterned convex ZnO seed layer. XRD pattern, FESEM, FIB, and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry were employed to observe and analyze the properties of the synthesized ZnO nanoflower arrays.

In this study, we designed a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) absorber and numerically analyzed it to demonstrate that its light absorptivity was greater than 90% in the wavelength range of visible light and near-infrared (405-1505 nm). The structure of proposed novel UWB absorber consisted of four layers of films, including silica, titanium, magnesium fluoride, and aluminium, and the upper silica and titanium layers had rectangular cubes in them. For that, the excitations of propagating surface plasmon resonance (PSPR), local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), and the resonance of Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity were generated at the same time and combined to reach the effect of perfect absorption and ultra-wideband.

Infrared thermography can be applied in different medical systems, for example it can be used to catch the images of living blood vessels. Far infrared rays can be used in a heating machine, which can be applied in the clinical hemodialysis patients. Infrared electronically sensitized images, which are generated by near-infrared Charge-coupled Device (CCD), are used to detect blood vessels, and used as a long-wavelength external stimulating therapeutic tissue repair system.

In this study, a p-type 2 at% lithium-doped nickel oxide (abbreviation L2NiO) solution was prepared using Ni(NO)·6HO, and LiNO·L2NiO thin films were deposited using an atomizer by spraying the L2NiO solution onto a glass substrate. The sprayed specimen was heated at a low temperature (140 °C) and annealed at different high temperatures and times. This method can reduce the evaporation ratio of the L2NiO solution, affording high-order nucleating points on the substrate.

We theoretically proposed and numerically analyzed a polarization-independent, wide-angle, and ultra-broadband absorber based on a multi-layer metasurface. The numerical simulation results showed that the average absorption rates were more than 97.2% covering the broad wavelength of 400~6000 nm (from visible light to mid-infrared light) and an absorption peak was 99.

Phosphors with composition Ca ZnMoO were synthesized at temperatures of 800-1200°C using the solid-state method. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns of the Ca ZnMoO powders did not reveal a double perovskite structure. When the synthesis temperature was equal to or higher than 800°C, the synthesized Ca ZnMoO powders revealed a tetragonal structure (CaMoO ) rather than an orthorhombic structure (Ca ZnMoO ) and the cubic structure (Sr ZnMoO ) of a double perovskite.
