GaAs is grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy on a 55 nm round-hole patterned Si substrate with SiO(2) as a mask. The threading dislocations, which are stacked on the lowest energy facet plane, move along the SiO(2) walls, reducing the number of dislocations. The etching pit density of GaAs on the 55 nm round-hole patterned Si substrate is about 3.3 × 10(5) cm(-2). Compared with the full width at half maximum measurement from x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra of GaAs on a planar Si(001) substrate, those of GaAs on the 55 nm round-hole patterned Si substrate are reduced by 39.6 and 31.4%, respectively. The improvement in material quality is verified by transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Hall measurements, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and x-ray diffraction studies.

Several barriers along the cascade of care reduce hepatitis C treatment access. We propose an investment in patient-centered care strategies to initiate and engage this vulnerable population with curative treatment, such as the implementation of community-based educational peer support groups. Barriers to implementing these patient-centered care strategies remain.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has become a universal biomaterial owing to its intrinsic properties. BC fibers are composed of microfibers with a diameter of 3-4 nm into fiber bundles with a thickness of 40-60 nm, and interweave with each other to form a well-developed ultra-fine network structure. Polylactic acid (PLA) has good mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability.

The rhomboid flap is a versatile random-pattern transposition flap with many clinical applications and has been adapted in many variations. The rhombic area of excision is associated with an area of "waste", while adapting Quaba's "square peg into a round hole" design is associated with the "pin-cushioning" effect. Using trigonometric calculations, we outline the association between different rhombic areas of excision and "waste", and a method to design a classical Limberg rhomboid flap.
