Solar hydrogen production is a promising pathway for sustainable CO-free hydrogen production. It is mainly classified into three systems: photovoltaic electrolysis (PV-EC), photoelectrochemical (PEC) system, and particulate photocatalytic (PC) system. However, it still has trouble in commercialization due to the limitation of performance and economic feasibility in the large-scale system.

Exemplary are such morphologies in block copolymers or amphiphilic systems, whose formation can be well predicted based on parameters such as volume fraction and shape factor. In contrast, the formation of 2D nanomorphologies is currently unpredictable in materials perfectly defined at the molecular level, in which crystallinity plays a significant role.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of clinico-pathological features and semiquantitative [F]FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in DTC patients with RAI-R.
Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study included 110 consecutive RAI-R DTC patients who were referred for [F]FDG PET/CT imaging.
Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparative effect of the Korean medicine treatment for idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) using Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA).
Methods: Seventeen electronic databases were used to search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated various Korean medicine treatments for ICPP. R software (version 4.
