We used digital in-line soft X-ray holography (DIXH) in the Gabor geometry to image human chromosomes. The divergent wave front was generated by diffraction of synchrotron radiation from a high aspect ratio pinhole. As under our experimental conditions the achievable resolution depends on the pinhole radius, high aspect ratio holes with diameters in the 100 nm range were prepared by focused ion beam (FIB) milling. The central maximum of the obtained Airy pattern was used to image chromosomes prepared from metaphase HeLa cells at experimental resolutions of 370±40 nm with soft X-rays at 260 eV photon energy provided by the BESSY II synchrotron radiation facility.

Instagram Engagement Helps Increase Residency Applicant Interest in Orthopaedic Surgery.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

January 2025

From the Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA (Raturi and Irani), the Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago, Maywood, IL (Benson and Mulcahey), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL (Cho, Rumps, and Mulcahey).

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate whether Instagram engagement data affect residency application volumes for orthopaedic surgery residency programs and rank the top 50 Instagram accounts associated with programs based on engagement.

Methods: Data from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023 were collected in August 2023 for Instagram metrics through Popsters social media analytic tool for business accounts and manually for nonbusiness accounts, as well as applicant numbers through the Association of American Medical College (AAMC) Residency Explorer Tool. Top 50 rankings were created from 2020 to 2022 based on engagement score, number of applicants, and growth in application numbers.

The testing and modeling of semiconductor devices are the foundation of circuit design. The issue of high-power device testing urgently needs to be solved as the power level of the devices under test (DUTs) increases. This work proposes advanced measurement methods based on three aspects of "measuring capability, security, and stability" with a focus on the features of high output power, easy self-oscillation in mismatch tests, and safety risk in the measurement system of high-power transistors.
