In this paper formulas are derived describing the light extraction efficiency of the transparent perpendicular parallelepiped optical cavities in LED displays. The efficiency is calculated for a mirror-wall cavity and for a cavity having walls formed by an air-epoxy interface. Results show that optical efficiencies of these cavities are almost identical and equal to approximately 13%.

Microscopy provides a proxy for assessing the operation of perovskite solar cells, yet most works in the literature have focused on bare perovskite thin films, missing charge transport and recombination losses present in full devices. Here we demonstrate a multimodal operando microscopy toolkit to measure and spatially correlate nanoscale charge transport losses, recombination losses and chemical composition. By applying this toolkit to the same scan areas of state-of-the-art, alloyed perovskite cells before and after extended operation, we show that devices with the highest macroscopic performance have the lowest initial performance spatial heterogeneity-a crucial link that is missed in conventional microscopy.

Combining bright-field and edge-enhanced imaging affords an effective avenue for extracting complex morphological information from objects, which is particularly beneficial for biological imaging. Multiplexing meta-lenses present promising candidates for achieving this functionality. However, current multiplexing meta-lenses lack spectral modulation, and crosstalk between different wavelengths hampers the imaging quality, especially for biological samples requiring precise wavelength specificity.

The isolation of pure compounds from complex extracts is a crucial step in natural products (NPs) research. Historically, this process has been recognized to be slow and laborious. However, significant advancements have been made in isolation methods.

This study investigates the production of high-purity cellulose pulp from peach (Prunus persica) fruit wastes generated during the processing of a Greek compote and juice production industry. A three-step chemical process is used, including alkaline treatment with NaOH, organic acid (acetic and formic) treatment, and hydrogen peroxide treatment, with the goal of cellulose extraction and purification. A fractional factorial design optimized reagent levels, revealing the strong influence of NaOH concentration on α-cellulose content and degree of polymerization.

In age-related peripheral neurodegeneration, changes in the promotion or inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response related to the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system (UPS), autophagy and apoptosis signaling factors during aging remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of ER stress response signaling-related protein factors was examined in tibial nerves during aging in rats. Tibial nerves were extracted from continuously housed rats at 20, 50, 70, 90 and 105 weeks of age.
