Over the past decade, metal oxide semiconductors have attracted considerable attention because of their transparency, high intrinsic charge carrier mobility, and charge carrier density. Metal oxide semiconductors also provide a promising route to develop resistive memory devices because of the tunability of their conductivity via the removal of oxygen ions, forming oxygen vacancies that can act as electron donors. Here, this paper reports the fabrication of a resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) device with TiO and TiO layers and introduces a solution-processed InO-graphene oxide (GO) buffer layer from a water-based precursor solution to tune the switching characteristics.

All these strains are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, and non-flagellated bacteria. Their optimal growth conditions for these strains were observed in Columbia broth (CB) at 37 °C, pH 7.

This case report explores the use of THRIVE for managing airway obstruction during tracheostomy in patients with subglottic and tracheal stenosis, thereby addressing the current knowledge gap and exploring its potential for airway management.
Patient Concerns: A 63-year-old female with subglottic and tracheal stenoses underwent tracheostomy.
Three novel bacterial strains, 321, 335, and 353, were isolated from the intestines of Aegosoma sinicum larvae collected from Paju-Si, South Korea. The strains were Gram-negative, obligate aerobe and had rod-shaped cells with a single flagellum. The three strains belonged to the genus Luteibacter in the family Rhodanobacteraceae and shared < 99.

Cells of strain JHSY0214 were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile and showed a rod-coccus growth cycle. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain belonged to the genus , and was most closely related to KCTC 12764 (98.

In addition, smart construction safety technologies (SCSTs) have been developed to ensure workers' safety, under the initiative of the private sector. In regards to overseas occupational safety, wearable technologies have been developed for various types of industries, and the integrated platform developments needed to link them have become mainstream.

Cultivation and isolation of gut bacteria are necessary for understanding their role in the intestinal ecosystem. We isolated a novel bacterium, designated strain BG01, from the faeces of a patient with Crohn's disease. Strain BG01 was a strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-variable and endospore-forming bacterium.

We focused on two alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus strains (I-G2 and I-P16) newly isolated from an ileostomy effluent of a colorectal cancer patient. We examined their pathogenic potential by investigating their prevalence in human and assessing their pathogenicity in a mouse model.

The collapse of several bridges with PSC has been reported, and insufficient grout and tendon corrosion were found inside the ducts of these bridges. Therefore, non-destructive testing (NDT) technology is important for identifying defects inside ducts in PSC structures.

For effective visual commonsense reasoning, both the knowledge acquisition problem and the multimodal alignment problem need to be solved. Therefore, we propose a novel Vision-Language-Knowledge Co-embedding (ViLaKC) model that extracts knowledge graphs relevant to the question from an external knowledge base, ConceptNet, and uses them together with the input image to answer the question.
