In this work, the effects of doping on hydrogen sensitivity and sensor response of CuO/ZnO heterocontacts were examined. Both current-voltage and current-time measurements were utilized in hydrogen/air and hydrogen/nitrogen atmospheres at 400 degrees C. The addition of Ni to p-type CuO and Ga to n-type ZnO were observed to enhance the sensor properties. Through analysis of the time-dependent current data, it was shown that the sensor response of the heterocontact can be modeled via a two-site Langmuir adsorption model. The response times of the two sites were calculated using this model. While one of the sites showed a significant decrease in response time when the p-side was doped with Ni, the response time of the other site changed only slightly. The highest sensitivity was obtained by doping the n-side with Ga at the expense of the response rate. The fastest response times were achieved when both sides of the heterocontact were doped. This suggests that carrier density may play a significant role in the sensor response.

Highlights: The purpose of this research was to validate a test procedure for using commercially available smart technologies in detecting an agricultural-related incident. A convenient selection of commercially available wearable devices was used to measure the inertial qualities of simulated incidents. Simulated ejections, falls, and upsets were performed to recreate leading causes of agricultural injuries and fatalities using an anthropomorphic test device.

To distinguish pathogens from commensals, the intestinal epithelium employs cytosolic innate immune sensors. Activation of the NAIP-NLRC4 inflammasome initiates extrusion of infected intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) upon cytosolic bacterial sensing. We previously reported that activation of the inflammasome in tuft cells, which are primarily known for their role in parasitic infections, leads to the release of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2).

The versatile photoresponse tunability of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors achieved by tuning the gate voltage has opened promising pathways for in-sensor visual processing. However, the current limited dynamic range and slow response speed of the gate-tunable 2D photodetectors inhibit their implementation under challenging lighting conditions. Here, using a facile, efficient, and universal localized electrostatic screening strategy, we demonstrate an electrostatic screening enabled single-gate-tunable in-plane homojunction photodiode based on WSe with bipolar high dynamic ranges (HDRs) and ultrafast photoresponse.

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), integral to the immune system as a primary sensor for flagellin, is central to the link between innate and adaptive immunity, modulating immune responses and cytokine production essential for defense against flagellated pathogens and immune tolerance. This review consolidates the understanding of TLR5's structural and signaling mechanisms and its interactions with flagellin, shedding light on its dual role in immune responses and its promise as a therapeutic target. It highlights TLR5's intricate role in the pathogenesis of obesity-related hypertension, a growing global health concern that correlates with rising obesity rates and is characterized by a complex interplay of immune responses and metabolic dysregulation.

Neonicotinoids are systemic insecticides used in agriculture. In particular, imidacloprid (IM) and thiamethoxam (TM) have selective toxicity to insects, and they have been implicated in the steep decline of the global honeybee population, specifically in colony collapse disorder (CCD). Some scientific reports have shown that a significant amount of honey worldwide contains traces of neonicotinoids, at levels strong enough to cause damage to bees.
