Enhanced near-infrared optical transmission in zinc germanium phosphide crystals precise magnesium doping.

A zinc germanium phosphorus (ZnGeP) crystal with a chalcopyrite structure is an efficient frequency converter in the mid-infrared region. However, point defect-induced optical absorption at the pumping wavelength (near infrared region) blocked the further application of ZnGeP. To alleviate the absorption losses caused by point defects, magnesium doping compensation was presented during the ZnGeP bulk crystal growth process the vertical Bridgman method.

Three Polyborates with High-Symmetry [BO] Units Featuring Different Dimensions of Anion Groups.

Three polyborates, namely, LiNaBO, LiNaBO, and LiNaCaSrBOF, were synthesized via the high-temperature solution method. All of them feature high-symmetry [BO] units, yet their anion groups exhibit distinct dimensions. LiNaBO features a three-dimensional anionic structure of [BO] framework, which is composed of three units: [BO], [BO], and [BO].

SurvivalPath:A R package for conducting personalized survival path mapping based on time-series survival data.

The survival path mapping approach has been proposed for dynamic prognostication of cancer patients using time-series survival data. The SurvivalPath R package was developed to facilitate building personalized survival path models. The package contains functions to convert time-series data into time-slices data by fixed interval based on time information of input medical records.

LiPbBO: A Pyroborate with Large Birefringence Induced by the Synergistic Effect of Stereochemical Active Lone Pair Cations and π-Conjugated [BO] Groups.

Through the inclusion of two kinds of birefringence reactive groups, that is, Pb cations with stereochemically active lone pairs and π-conjugated [BO] groups, a new pyroborate LiPbBO used to be acquired by the usage of the high-temperature solution method. The three-dimensional structural framework of LiPbBO is made up of highly distorted [PbO] polyhedra and parallelly arranged π-conjugated [BO] groups via the connection of four- and five-coordinated Li cations. The birefringence of LiPbBO is 0.

Prototype early diagnostic model for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis based on deep learning and big data training.

Background: Currently, the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) mainly depends on the integration of clinical, radiological and microbiological data. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great advantages in dealing with data-rich biological and medical challenges, but the literature on IPA diagnosis is rare.

Objective: This study aimed to provide a non-invasive, objective and easy-to-use AI approach for the early diagnosis of IPA.

Exploring Green Creativity: The Effects of Green Transformational Leadership, Green Innovation Climate, and Green Autonomy.

None of the studies published in the extant literature has discussed the role of green innovation climate and green autonomy concerning green creativity and this study aims to offer these two novel constructs. By introducing the componential theory of creativity, this study explores green transformational leadership (GTL), green innovation climate, and green autonomy as antecedents of green creativity. The authors employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze survey-based data collected from automotive firms in China.

Study on structured method of Chinese MRI report of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Image text is an important text data in the medical field at it can assist clinicians in making a diagnosis. However, due to the diversity of languages, most descriptions in the image text are unstructured data. The same medical phenomenon may also be described in various ways, such that it remains challenging to conduct text structure analysis.

More optimal but less regulated dorsal and ventral visual networks in patients with major depressive disorder.

Previous studies indicate that major depressive disorder (MDD) can profoundly modify the visual cortices as well as the visuo-attentional systems of brain. However, little is known on the specific pattern of the whole-network-level abnormalities. In this study, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from 159 participants, including 86 medication-free MDD patients and 73 matched healthy controls.

Candidemia in Adults at a Tertiary Hospital in China: Clinical Characteristics, Species Distribution, Resistance, and Outcomes.

Background: Candidemia is one of the most common nosocomial bloodstream infections. Early diagnosis and antifungal treatment improve clinical outcomes in some studies but not all, with diverse data reported from different institutions. Similarly, antifungal resistance is more common in the USA than in Europe, but there is little data regarding the microbiology and clinical course of candidemia in adult patients in Asia.

Candida spp. airway colonization: A potential risk factor for Acinetobacter baumannii ventilator-associated pneumonia.

This retrospective study was conducted to identify potential risk factors for Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and evaluate the association between Candida spp. airway colonization and A.

[Analysis of DICOM and its application in teleradiology].

Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine(DICOM) was brought forward by ACR and NEMA to solve the joining problem of medical equipment. It is a public international standard now. Using DICOM in teleradiology is very important, especially for China.
