In carbon-based supercapacitors, redox couples can effectively improve the energy density of supercapacitors; however, most redox couples still suffer from serious shuttle diffusion. Currently, there is no universal strategy to effectively constrain their shuttle diffusion. Therefore, developing a simple, effective, and universal method to suppress shuttle diffusion remains a great challenge.

By incorporating pair pattern strategies and reference point strategies into an agent-based model, we have investigated the effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous investment strategies and reference points on price movement. In the market flooded with the investors with homogeneous investment strategies or homogeneous reference points, large price fluctuations occur.

We examined the potential association between the quality of migrant patients' PHC experiences and the achievement of Patient-Centered Medical Home by CHCs in China.
Methods: Between August 2019 and September 2021, 482 migrant patients were recruited from ten CHCs in China's Greater Bay Area.
The performance of light-field microscopy is improved by selectively illuminating the relevant subvolume of the specimen with a second objective lens. Here we advance this approach to a single-objective geometry, using an oblique one-photon illumination path or two-photon illumination to accomplish selective-volume excitation. The elimination of the second orthogonally oriented objective to selectively excite the volume of interest simplifies specimen mounting; yet, this single-objective approach still reduces the out-of-volume background, resulting in improvements in image contrast, effective resolution, and volume reconstruction quality.

Methods: Data were analyzed from a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open, parallel study of Chinese men aged 50-84 years with LUTS/BPH.
Objectives: To evaluate significance of clinical parameters in prostate cancer staging.
Methods: One hundred and twelve patients of prostate cancer were diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsies. These cases were staged by pathologic diagnosis, MRI and bone scan.
