Exploring the Effect of Selenidation Time on the Ni-Doped CuZnSn(S,Se) Solar Cell.

The CuNiZnSn(S,Se) (CNZTSSe) films were synthesized by sol-gel combined with selenidation treatment. To further enhance the crystal quality of the film, the selenidation conditions were optimized, and the effects of selenidation time on the properties of the CNZTSSe films and devices were systematically studied. The results show that the crystallinity of the films increased remarkably with the increase of selenidation time.

Optimization of the Selenization Temperature on the Mn-Substituted CuZnSn(S,Se) Thin Films and Its Impact on the Performance of Solar Cells.

CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZTSSe) films are considered to be promising materials in the advancement of thin-film solar cells. In such films, the amounts of S and Se control the bandgap. Therefore, it is crucial to control the concentration of S/Se to improve efficiency.

Classical prescription Huanglian Decoction relieves ulcerative colitis via maintaining intestinal barrier integrity and modulating gut microbiota.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) has affected an increasing number of people globally, with still limited clinical success. Huanglian Decoction (HLD) is a famous classical prescription documented for alleviating gastrointestinal disorders with unexplored therapeutic effects and mechanisms.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanism of HLD in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice.

Insight into the Effect of Selenization Temperature for Highly Efficient Ni-Doped CuZnSn(S,Se) Solar Cells.

CuNi·Zn·Sn(S,Se) (CNZTSSe) films were synthesized on Mo-coated glass substrates by the simple sol-gel means combined with the selenization process, and CNZTSSe-based solar cells were successfully prepared. The effects of selenization temperature on the performance and the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cells were systematically studied. The results show that the crystallinity of films increases as the selenization temperature raises based on nickel (Ni) doping.

Ginger polysaccharides relieve ulcerative colitis via maintaining intestinal barrier integrity and gut microbiota modulation.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an autoimmune disease afflicting an increasing number of patients and increasing demands towards the development of efficacious and safe drugs. Recently, with increasing interest in alternative medicines, natural resources have become a hotspot for drug discovery against UC. In addition to being consumed as a food and spice, ginger is also widely used as a well-recognized gastrointestinal herbal medicine.

Microbial induced solidification and stabilization of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash with high alkalinity and heavy metal toxicity.

This paper presents an experimental study on the applicability of microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to treat municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash with high alkalinity and heavy metal toxicity. The experiments were carried out on fly ashes A and B produced from incineration processes of mechanical grate furnace and circulating fluidized bed, respectively. The results showed that both types of fly ashes contained high CaO content, which could supply sufficient endogenous Ca for MICP treatment.

Sirt1 AS lncRNA interacts with its mRNA to inhibit muscle formation by attenuating function of miR-34a.

Recent studies demonstrate the functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mediating gene expression at the transcriptional or translational level. Our previous study identified a Sirt1 antisense (AS) lncRNA transcribed from the Sirt1 AS strand. However, its role and regulatory mechanism is still unknown in myogenesis.
