LEDs on Si offer excellent potential of low cost manufacturing for solid state lighting and display, taking advantage of the well-developed IC technologies of silicon. In this paper, we report how the performance of LEDs grown on Si can be improved. Multiple quantum well InGaN LED structure was grown on patterned silicon substrates and circular LEDs 160 µm in radius were processed. Fabricated LEDs were then transferred to an electroplated copper substrate with a reflective mirror inserted by a double-flip transfer process, to improve the light extraction efficiency and heat dissipation. The light output power of LEDs on copper increased by ~80% after the transfer. The operating current before the onset of light output power saturation also increased by 25% because of the good thermal conductivity of copper. The light output power of packaged LEDs on copper was 6.5 mW under 20 mA current injection and as high as 14 mW driven at 55 mA.

Nuclear DNA is organized into a compact three-dimensional (3D) structure that impacts critical cellular processes. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) is the most widely used method for measuring 3D genome architecture, while linear epigenomic assays, such as ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, and ChIP-seq, are extensively employed to characterize epigenomic regulation. However, the integrative analysis of chromatin interactions and associated epigenomic regulation remains challenging due to the pairwise nature of Hi-C data, mismatched resolution between Hi-C and epigenomic assays, and inconsistencies among analysis tools.

In the field of solar steam generation, hydrogels with interfacial evaporation configurations stand as a promising candidate for solar evaporators. Hydrogel-based photothermal materials provide excellent hydration channels for supplying water to an evaporative layer due to their porous structure and hydrophilic nature. This work proposed a facile and in-situ fabrication of sodium alginate hydrogel incorporated with cellulose nanocrystals and polypyrrole as an effective photothermal material.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an MRI radiomics stacking ensemble learning model, which combines T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI) with deep learning-based automatic segmentation, for preoperative prediction of the prognosis of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids.
Methods: This retrospective study collected data from 360 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent HIFU treatment. The dataset was sourced from Center A (training set: N = 240; internal test set: N = 60) and Center B (external test set: N = 60).

Recent advances in Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology have enabled a more affordable high frame rate photoacoustic imaging (PA) alternative to traditional laser-based PA systems that are costly and have slow pulse repetition rate. However, a major disadvantage with LEDs is the low energy outputs that do not produce high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) PA images. There have been recent advancements in integrating deep learning methodologies aimed to address the challenge of improving SNR in LED-PA images, yet comprehensive evaluations across varied datasets and architectures are lacking.

Carrageenan has good film-forming characteristics, but it is difficult to simultaneously improve its multiple performances, such as water-resistance, light transmittance and thermal stability. In this study, multi-advantage composite films were prepared by iota-carrageenan and quaternary ammonium surfactants according to solvent induced method. The weight change, FTIR and thermogravimetric analyses of the films before and after solvent inducement indicated that the inorganic counterions of iota-carrageenan were replaced by quaternary ammonium ions.
