Article Synopsis
  • A study in Chengdu, Sichuan assessed the physical activity levels and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults aged 45 and older, involving a sample of 4,376 participants through face-to-face interviews.
  • Results showed that a significant percentage experienced depressive symptoms and did not meet recommended physical activity guidelines, indicating a negative correlation between higher physical activity levels and depressive symptoms.
  • The findings suggest that engaging in moderate to high levels of physical activity may reduce depressive symptoms, and this correlation strengthened with increased activity levels, regardless of different participant subgroups.

We propose a robust multispectral transparent plasmonic structure and calculate its transparency response by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The proposed structure is composed of a continuous ultrathin metal film sandwiched by double two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal non-close-packed metal-dielectric multilayer core-shell nanoparticle arrays. The top and bottom plasmonic arrays in such a structure, respectively, act as the light input and output couplers to carry out the efficient trapping and release of light.
