This paper presents a novel tunable narrowband photodetector based on Ag-MgF-Ag (metal-dielectric-metal: MDM) Fabry-Perot (FP) microcavity structure. The tunability is achieved through precise adjustment of the thickness of the metal and intermediate dielectric layers of the FP microcavity, taking into account the response spectral range of planar perovskite. After optimizing the parameters mentioned above, the prototype devices were prepared by combining the perovskite layer and MDM layer.

This greatly enhances the depth of application of X-ray.

Bleeding leads to hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy, the so-called "lethal triad," and creates a vicious cycle. Therefore, bleeding control tops the priority list in the management of trauma patients.

In this study, a plate with prism array of total internal reflection (TIR-PA) has been designed to enhance the lighting on the road surface inside the tunnel in adherence to traffic safety as well as energy savings. Such optical elements, above the tunnel sidewall, can redirect the rays emitted from both the headlight and lighting devices to the road surface, which supports higher flux on the road.

Even though different surface passivation methods are developed, the microscopic structures of solution-processed perovskite film surfaces are not systematically studied. This study uses low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy to study the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite thin films, MA FA PbI and MAPbI , synthesized by the spin-coating method.

In this study a new classifier for discriminating thalassemia and non-thalassemia microcytic anemia was generated via combination of exciting indices with machine-learning techniques. A total of 350 Taiwanese adult patients whose anemia diagnosis, complete blood cell counts, and hemoglobin gene profiles were retrospectively reviewed.

On the third day after infection, the broiler chickens were treated with EZL by gavage at doses of 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg body weight (bw) for once. For double administration, the challenged broiler chickens were administered EZL at doses of 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg bw by gavage continually on the third day and fourth day and once a day.
