In this, the first of two papers, we present the working principle and the implementation of laterally acoustically coupled thickness-mode thin-film piezoelectric-on-substrate (TPoS) filters. This type of filter offers low insertion loss and small bandwidth in a broad frequency range--from a few hundred megahertz up to a few gigahertz--and occupy a small chip area. In this paper, we discuss several design concerns, including the choice of materials for TPoS filters. We demonstrate a design for an air-suspended AlN-on-Si filter, which offers a low insertion loss of 2.4 dB at 2.877 GHz. The bandwidth of this filter is 12 MHz with a return loss of better than 30 dB. In Part II of this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the effect of physical layout parameters on the frequency response of TPoS filters.

Herein, a novel copper/molybdenum bimetallic nanoclusters (Cu/Mo NCs) with intense blue emission were synthesized by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as template and ascorbic acid as reducing agent. Owing to the synergistic effect between Cu and Mo, the fluorescence intensity of Cu/Mo NCs was significantly improved about 6-time than monometallic copper nanoclusters. A novel and sensitive ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform for monitoring butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was strategically constructed by the integration of Cu/Mo NCs with excellent optical properties and Co-Fe layered doubled hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) with superior peroxidase-like activity for the first time.

Thyroid hormone (TH) system disrupting compounds can impair brain development by perturbing TH action during critical life stages. Human exposure to TH system disrupting chemicals is therefore of great concern. To better protect humans against such chemicals, sensitive test methods that can detect effects on the developing brain are critical.

Ensemble Kalman filter-based targeted observation is one of the best methods for determining the optimal observational array for oceanic buoy deployment. This study proposes a new algorithm suitable for a 'cross-region and cross-variable' approach by introducing a projection operator into the optimization process. A targeted observational analysis was conducted for El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events in the tropical western Pacific for the Tropical Pacific Observation System (TPOS) 2020.

Piezoelectric Laterally Vibrating Resonators (LVRs) have attracted significant attention as a potential technology for next-generation wafer-level multi-band filters. Piezoelectric bilayer structures such as Thin-film Piezoelectric-on-Silicon (TPoS) LVRs which aim to increase the quality factor () or aluminum nitride and silicon dioxide (AlN/SiO) composite membrane for thermal compensation have been proposed. However, limited studies have investigated the detailed behaviors of the electromechanical coupling factor () of these piezoelectric bilayer LVRs.

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) could damage multiple organs and systems. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that PM can disrupt dynamic balance of thyroid hormone (TH). However, the underlying mechanism by which PM interferes with TH remains unclear.
