An atomistic method based on the diffraction pseudopotential model is established, for investigating the surface roughness (SR) effect in ultrathin body double-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors. The scattering of electrons due to atoms and vacancies responsible for roughness results from a three-dimensional effective field, and its planar components provide essentially roughness scattering, while a vertical effective field is the source of scattering in the method developed in which roughness is treated as a semiclassical barrier fluctuation. The present model involves a stronger effect on mobility than the previously developed one and results in an excellent fit, as regards mobility, to the reported experimental data. The extracted SR parameter also matches the observed value.

Neuromuscular Strategies in Dominant and Non-Dominant Legs in Dancers During Dynamic Balance Tasks.

J Dance Med Sci

January 2025

Frontier Research Institute of Convergence Sports Science, College of Educational Sciences, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.

Ballet-based dance training emphasizes the equal development of both legs. However, dancers often perceive differences between their legs during balance or landing. There still needs to be more consensus on the functional difference between dominant (D) and non-dominant legs (ND).

Glutathione serves as a common biomarkers in tumor diagnosis and treatment. The levels of its intracellular concentration permit detailed investigation of the tumor microenvironment. However, low polarization and weak Raman scattering cross-section make direct and indirect Raman detection challenging.

Natural plant-derived polysaccharides exhibit substantial potential for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) owing to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and favorable safety profiles. However, their practical application faces several challenges, including structural instability in gastric acid, imprecise targeting of inflamed regions, and limited intestinal retention times. To address these limitations, pH-responsive, colon-targeting microspheres (pWGPAC MSs) are developed for delivering phosphorylated wild ginseng polysaccharides (pWGP) to alleviate UC.

Cyanobacterial distributions are shaped by abiotic factors including temperature, light and nutrient availability as well as biotic factors such as grazing and viral infection. In this study, we investigated the abundances of T4-like and T7-like cyanophages and the extent of picocyanobacterial infection in the cold, high-nutrient-low-chlorophyll, sub-Antarctic waters of the southwest Pacific Ocean during austral spring. Synechococcus was the dominant picocyanobacterium, ranging from 4.
