The defect structure for Cu(2+) in CdSe nanocrystals is theoretically studied by analyzing the spin Hamiltonian parameters of this impurity center. This center is ascribed to Cu(2+) occupying the octahedral interstitial site, rather than the tetrahedral substitutional Cd(2+) site proposed by previous work. The Cu(2+) center exhibits slight tetragonal elongation distortion (characterized by the elongation parameter rho approximately 0.03) due to the Jahn-Teller effect. The theoretical spin Hamiltonian parameters and optical transition show good agreement with the experimental data. The above unusual defect structure (occupation and symmetry) for Cu(2+) in CdSe nanocrystals is discussed, as compared with the conventional trigonally distorted tetrahedral Cu(2+) centers in bulk II-VI semiconductors.

Machine learning-based assessment of morphometric abnormalities distinguishes bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.

Neuroradiology

January 2025

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.

Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) have overlapping clinical presentations which may make it difficult for clinicians to distinguish them potentially resulting in misdiagnosis. This study combined structural MRI and machine learning techniques to determine whether regional morphological differences could distinguish patients with BD and MDD.

Methods: A total of 123 participants, including BD (n = 31), MDD (n = 48), and healthy controls (HC, n = 44), underwent high-resolution 3D T1-weighted imaging.

The abnormally viscous and thick mucus is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF). How the mutated CF gene causes abnormal mucus remains an unanswered question of paramount interest. Mucus is produced by the hydration of gel-forming mucin macromolecules that are stored in intracellular granules prior to release.

YOLOSeg with applications to wafer die particle defect segmentation.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Ming Chi University of Technology, New Taipei City, 243, Taiwan.

This study develops the you only look once segmentation (YOLOSeg), an end-to-end instance segmentation model, with applications to segment small particle defects embedded on a wafer die. YOLOSeg uses YOLOv5s as the basis and extends a UNet-like structure to form the segmentation head. YOLOSeg can predict not only bounding boxes of particle defects but also the corresponding bounding polygons.
