Influence of increasing anode surface area on nitrite-absent ammonium oxidation in a continuous single-chamber bio-electrochemical system.

Reducing energy consumption in conventional nitrogen removal processes is a crucial and urgent requirement. This study proposes an efficient electrode-dependent bio-electrochemical anaerobic ammonium (NH-N) oxidation (BE-ANAMMOX) process, employing a carbon brush as the electron acceptor and voltage of 0.8 V.

VGG19 demonstrates the highest accuracy rate in a nine-class wound classification task among various deep learning networks: a pilot study.

Background: Current literature suggests relatively low accuracy of multi-class wound classification tasks using deep learning networks. Solutions are needed to address the increasing diagnostic burden of wounds on wound care professionals and to aid non-wound care professionals in wound management.

Objective: To develop a reliable, accurate 9-class classification system to aid wound care professionals and perhaps eventually, patients and non-wound care professionals, in managing wounds.

Change in Electrical/Mechanical Properties of Plasma Polymerized Low Dielectric Constant Films after Etching in CF/O Plasma for Semiconductor Multilevel Interconnects.

As semiconductor chips have been integrated to enhance their performance, a low-dielectric-constant material, SiCOH, with a relative dielectric constant ≤ 3.5 has been widely used as an intermetal dielectric (IMD) material in multilevel interconnects to reduce the resistance-capacitance delay. Plasma-polymerized tetrakis(trimethylsilyoxy)silane (ppTTMSS) films were created using capacitively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with deposition plasma powers ranging from 20 to 60 W and then etched in CF/O plasma using reactive ion etching.

Rejuvenation of the Lower Eyelid and Midface with Deep Nasolabial Fat Lift in East Asians.

Background: Correcting infraorbital hollowness is an important procedure for midface rejuvenation. Sub-orbicularis oculi fat lift is a commonly used method. However, adipose tissue, which has been thought of as sub-orbicularis oculi fat, has recently been controversial.
