In Situ Local Band Engineering of Monolayer Graphene Using Triboelectric Plasma.

Graphene, a promising material with excellent properties, suffers from a major limitation in electronics due to its zero bandgap. The gas molecules adsorption has proven to be an effective approach for band regulation, which usually requires a harsh environment. Here, O ions produced with triboelectric plasma are used for in situ regulation of graphene, and the switching ratio can reach 10.

Active-ion-gated room temperature acetone gas sensing of ZnO nanowires array.

Reducing the high operation temperature of gas sensor to room temperature (RT) have attracted intense interests for its distinct preponderances, including energy-saving and super stability, which presents great prospects in commercial application. The exciting strategies for RT gas sensing, such as unique materials with activated surface or light activation, do not directly modulate the active ions for gas sensing, limiting the RT gas sensing performances. Here, an active-ion-gated strategy has been proposed for RT gas sensing with high performance and low power consumption, in which gas ions in triboelectric plasma are introduced into metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) film to act as both floating gate and active sensing ions.

LncRNA DIRC1 is a novel prognostic biomarker and correlated with immune infiltrates in stomach adenocarcinoma.

The potential application value of Long non-coding RNA disrupted in renal carcinoma 1 (DIRC1) has not yet been explored, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between DIRC1 and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) based on the cancer genome atlas database. Wilcoxon rank sum test, Chi-square test, Fisher test and logistic regression were used to evaluate relationships between clinical-pathologic features and DIRC1 expression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to describe binary classifier value of DIRC1 using area under curve (AUC) score.

Investigation of Warpage for Multi-Die Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging Process.

This paper focuses on characterizing the evolution of warpage, effects of epoxy molding compound (EMC), and effects of carrier 2 (the second carrier in the process) of 12 inch RDL-first multi-die fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) during the manufacturing process. The linear viscoelasticity properties of EMC and polyimide (PI) were characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in the frequency domain at different temperatures., The elastic and viscoelastic model were used for PI and EMC, the finite element analyses (FEA) of the cured structure were carried out and the results were compared with the test results.

The Characteristics of Steamed Bread from Reconstituted Whole Wheat Flour (WWF) of Different Hard Wheat Classes with Different Bran Particle Size Distributions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of reconstituted whole wheat flour (WWF) particle size on flour characteristics and northern-type steamed bread (NTSB) quality. In this study, hard white (HW), hard red winter (HRW), and hard red spring (HRS) wheat classes, and four different bran particle size distributions [D(50) values of 53 μm, 74 μm, 105 μm, and 125 μm] were blended at a ratio of 85% refined flour + 15% bran to create reconstituted WWF and make reconstituted WWF NTSB. Farinograph water absorption and water solvent retention capacity (SRC) increased as bran particle size decreased.

Characterization of the metabolites of -resveratrol-3--glucoside in monkeys and dogs.

In this study, a liquid chromatography-tandem multi-stage mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method was established to characterize the metabolites of TRG in monkeys and dogs. A total of seven metabolites of TRG besides the prototype were found, which were identified as TR (M1), TRN (M2), -resveratrol-4'--glucuronide (M2'), -resveratrol-3--glucoside-4'--glucuronide (M3), -resveratrol-3--glucoside-5--glucuronide (M3'), -resveratrol-3-sulfate (M4) and -resveratrol-4'-sulfate (M4'). Additionally, the metabolic pathways of TRG in monkeys and dogs were proposed.

Soft and Hard Tissue Changes Following Immediate Placement or Immediate Restoration of Single-Tooth Implants in the Esthetic Zone: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to compare immediate protocols with conventional protocols of single-tooth implants in terms of changes in the surrounding hard and soft tissue in the esthetic area.

Materials And Methods: Electronic and manual searches were performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and other data systems for research articles published between January 2001 and December 2014. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on hard and or soft tissue characteristics following a single-tooth implant were included.

Comparison of implant success rates with different loading protocols: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: To systematically evaluate implant success rates with different loading protocols.

Materials And Methods: A search was conducted of electronic databases, including The Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register, PubMed, SciSearch, Medline, and EMBASE, for all randomized controlled trials published between 1997 and 2011 to compare implant success rates among different loading methods. The quality of randomized controlled trials was critically appraised, and the data were extracted by two independent reviewers.
