Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant health issue worldwide, contributing to high mortality rates, and is often underdiagnosed in Spain, prompting the CARABELA-COPD initiative to improve care.
- The CARABELA-COPD initiative uses a four-phase lean methodology focusing on collaboration among various stakeholders to enhance COPD management across different healthcare settings in Spain.
- Initial results include the development of a comprehensive patient journey, identification of key improvement areas in care, and establishment of quality indicators, aiming to transform COPD management and improve patient outcomes through interdisciplinary teamwork.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on InP/InGaP tandem junction photovoltaic nanowires, highlighting their ability to achieve unique InGaP compositions not possible with traditional thin films due to strain limitations.
- Micro-Raman spectra indicate that compositional variations in the InGaP alloy are linked to doping sequences, revealing that the heavily Zn-doped side of the tunnel diode is Ga-rich compared to other segments.
- The research uncovers an enhanced Raman signal that allows for the first observation of a new phonon-plasmon coupled mode (LOPCM) in InGaP, providing insights into its phonon behavior and the coupling of hole plasma with the GaP-like LO mode through theoretical modeling.
Axially heterostructured nanowires (NWs) constitute a promising platform for advanced electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices. The presence of different materials in these NWs introduces a mismatch resulting in complex strain distributions susceptible of changing the band gap and carrier mobility. The growth of these NWs presents challenges related to the reservoir effect in the catalysts droplet that affect to the junction abruptness, and the occurrence of undesired lateral growth creating core-shell heterostructures that introduce additional strain.
