Regulation of the Buried Interface to Achieve Efficient HTL-Free All-Inorganic CsPbIBr-Based Perovskite Solar Cells.

The large voltage loss () mainly stems from the mismatch between the perovskite film and electron transport layer in CsPbIBr-based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (I-PSCs), which restricts the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of devices. To address this issue, potassium benzoate (BAP) is first introduced as a bifunctional passivation material to regulate the TiO/CsPbIBr interface, reduce the , and improve the photovoltaic performance of CsPbIBr-based I-PSCs. Eventually, the champion PCE of CsPbIBr-based I-PSCs without a hole transport layer modified by BAP (Target-PSCs) improves to 14.

A Pair of Indicators for Characterizing Cerebral Microbleeds Based on Raman Spectrum and Two-Photon Imaging.

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) lead to cognitive decline, linked to the axonal structure composed of phospholipid bilayers. Current methods are difficult to obtain in situ changes of biochemical component concentration during CMB. In this study, by Raman spectrum and two-photon imaging, we achieve in situ changes in the information of biochemical components concentration during CMB.

Regulating the 3d-orbital occupancy on Ni sites enables high-rate and durable Ni(OH) cathode for alkaline Zn batteries.

The capacity and cycling stability of β-Ni(OH)-based cathodes in aqueous alkaline Ni-Zn batteries are still unsatisfactory due to their undesirable OH adsorption/desorption dynamics during the electrochemical redox process. To settle this issue, we introduce a new atomic-level strategy to finely modulate the OH adsorption/desorption of β-Ni(OH) through tailoring the 3d-orbital occupancy of Ni center by Co/Cu co-doping (denoted as Co-Cu-Ni(OH)). Both experimental outcomes and density functional theory calculations validate that the co-doping of Co and Cu endows the Ni species in Co-Cu-Ni(OH) with appropriate proportion of the unoccupied 3d-orbital, leading to optimized adsorption/desorption strength of OH.

No causal relationship serum lipids on age-related hearing loss based on Mendelian randomized evidence.

Objectives: Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss (ARHL) has been a common disability disease among the elderly population. It is particularly essential to identify the underlying role of related risk factors for ARHL diagnosis and treatment. Observational studies have shown that cardiovascular disease may be a factor in ARHL.

Characterization and discrimination of volatile organic compounds and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of soybeans ( L.) during solid-state fermentation with YL-1.

In this study, the influence of solid-state fermentation (SSF) using probiotic on the change of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and α-glucosidase inhibition activity of soybeans was investigated. A total of 46 VOCs were characterized via headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), the majority of which were aldehydes (17), alcohols (10), and ketones (7). SSF by .

GSP-AI: An AI-Powered Platform for Identifying Key Growth Stages and the Vegetative-to-Reproductive Transition in Wheat Using Trilateral Drone Imagery and Meteorological Data.

Wheat () is one of the most important staple crops worldwide. To ensure its global supply, the timing and duration of its growth cycle needs to be closely monitored in the field so that necessary crop management activities can be arranged in a timely manner. Also, breeders and plant researchers need to evaluate growth stages (GSs) for tens of thousands of genotypes at the plot level, at different sites and across multiple seasons.

Construction of in-situ self-assembled agent for NIR/PET dual-modal imaging and photodynamic therapy for hepatocellular cancer.

Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) remained a life-threatening carcinoma. Agents for HCC imaging and therapy were expected to possess different intratumoral retention time. To construct an agent with different intratumoral retention time when applied for tumor imaging or therapy remained great values.

A dual-labeled dataset and fusion model for automatic teeth segmentation, numbering, and state assessment on panoramic radiographs.

Background: Recently, deep learning has been increasingly applied in the field of dentistry. The aim of this study is to develop a model for the automatic segmentation, numbering, and state assessment of teeth on panoramic radiographs.

Methods: We created a dual-labeled dataset on panoramic radiographs for training, incorporating both numbering and state labels.

PRN: progressive reasoning network and its image completion applications.

Ancient murals embody profound historical, cultural, scientific, and artistic values, yet many are afflicted with challenges such as pigment shedding or missing parts. While deep learning-based completion techniques have yielded remarkable results in restoring natural images, their application to damaged murals has been unsatisfactory due to data shifts and limited modeling efficacy. This paper proposes a novel progressive reasoning network designed specifically for mural image completion, inspired by the mural painting process.

GmSTOP1-3 regulates flavonoid synthesis to reduce ROS accumulation and enhance aluminum tolerance in soybean.

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a significant limiting factor for crop production in acid soils. The functions and regulatory mechanisms of transcription factor STOP1 (Sensitive to Proton Rhizotoxicity 1) family genes in Al-tolerance have been widely studied in many plant species, except for soybean. Here, expression of GmSTOP1-3 was significantly enhanced by Al stress in soybean roots.

25SrRNA Methyltransferase CgBMT5 From Candida glycerinogenes Improves Tolerance and Fermentation Performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica From Undetoxified Cellulose Hydrolysate.

The hydrolysis of cellulose generates inhibitors like acetate, suppressing fermentation performance. Here, 25SrRNA methyltransferase CgBMT5 from stress-tolerant yeast Candida glycerinogenes was used as an anti-stress gene element in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica. Expression of CgBMT5 in S.

Excellent Low-Frequency Microwave Absorption and High Thermal Conductivity in Polydimethylsiloxane Composites Endowed by Hydrangea-Like CoNi@BN Heterostructure Fillers.

The advancement of thin, lightweight, and high-power electronic devices has increasingly exacerbated issues related to electromagnetic interference and heat accumulation. To address these challenges, a spray-drying-sintering process is employed to assemble chain-like CoNi and flake boron nitride (BN) into hydrangea-like CoNi@BN heterostructure fillers. These fillers are then composited with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to develop CoNi@BN/PDMS composites, which integrate low-frequency microwave absorption and thermal conductivity.

Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty outperforms manual technique in obese and overweight patients: a prospective comparative study.

Background: With the increasing prevalence of obesity, there is growing awareness of the impact of overweight and obesity on total hip arthroplasty (THA). Research exploring the accuracy of acetabular component orientation in THA between robotic-assisted and manual techniques across different BMI categories is insufficient.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated 221 patients who underwent THA with a Robotic Interactive Orthopaedic Arm system and 252 patients who underwent manual THA between March 2022 and January 2024.

The syntaxin-binding protein STXBP5 regulates progerin expression.

Hutchinson-Gilfor progeria syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a mutation in Lamin A resulting in the production of a protein called progerin. The accumulation of progerin induces inflammation, cellular senescence and activation of the P53 pathway. In this study, through public dataset analysis, we identified Syntaxin Binding Protein 5 (STXBP5) as an influencing factor of progerin expression.
