The impact of the polarization compensation InGaN interlayer between the heterolayers of Ga-face GaN/InGaN p-i-n solar cells is investigated numerically. Because of the enhancement of carrier collection efficiency, the conversion efficiency is improved markedly, which can be ascribed to both the reduction of the polarization-induced electric field in the InGaN absorption layer and the mitigation of potential barriers at heterojunctions. This beneficial effect is more remarkable in situations with higher polarization, such as devices with a lower degree of relaxation or devices with a higher indium composition in the InGaN absorption layer.

Equine piroplasmosis in different geographical areas in France: Prevalence heterogeneity of asymptomatic carriers and low genetic diversity of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi.

Equine piroplasmosis is a worldwide tick-borne disease caused by the parasites Theileria equi sensu lato and Babesia caballi, with significant economic and sanitary consequences. These two parasites are genetically variable, with a potential impact on diagnostic accuracy. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency of asymptomatic carriers of these parasites in France and describe the circulating genotypes.

Microplastics (MPs) in nature inevitably undergo various aging processes and may exhibit varied interfacial interactions with the coexisted contaminants. Here several discarded disposable polyethylene and polypropylene plastic packaging materials were collected and employed as the raw materials of MPs, and the effects of stimulated UV irradiation and microbial colonization on the variations of surface physicochemical characteristics, including biofilm content, oxygen-containing functional groups, oxygen/carbon ratio, hydrophilicity and surface charge properties were explored. Simultaneously, the adsorption behavior of each MPs on the representative cationic dye crystal violet (CV), as well as the influences of salinity and pH of CV solution, was investigated.

Background: A recent case report described an individual who was a homozygous carrier of the APOE3 Christchurch (APOE3ch) mutation and resistant to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caused by a PSEN1-E280A mutation. Whether APOE3ch contributed to the protective effect remains unclear.
Method: We generated a humanized APOE3ch knock-in mouse and crossed it to an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque-depositing model.

Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) exists in three protein isoforms: E2, E3, and E4, which differ by only one or two amino acids. These slight differences profoundly effect protein structure and function, allowing each isoform to differentially impact Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk. Relative to the most common E3 isoform, E4 dramatically increases risk, while E2 confers a substantial decrease in risk.

Background: Inflammatory cells play a key role in the pathophysiology of AD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Glycans are known to mediate inflammatory cell activation and migration yet very little is understood about the expression of glycans, glycoproteins, and other glycoconjugates at the CP which serves as a gateway for peripheral immune cells into the brain. In a familial AD mouse model, we observed increased expression of Siglec-F-recognized glycans on CP epithelial cells.
