Published: July 2014

Using low-frequency noise spectroscopy to explore the physical origins of electrical fluctuations in ZnO nanowire (NW) phototransistors featuring a metal-NW-metal configuration, we have found that bulk mobility scatterings gave rise to electrical fluctuations in the low-gate voltage (V G) regime, providing values of Hooge's constant in the ranges 6.0-9.6 × 10(-3) and 1.9-2.2 × 10(-1) in the dark and under UV excitation, respectively. When moving into the higher V G regime, we assign the electrical fluctuations to an interaction process involving trapping and detrapping of channel carriers by charge traps located near the NW-dielectric interface, suggesting that the mechanism of the electrical fluctuation transitioned from bulk NW-dominated to NW/dielectric interface-dominated regimes. We have also addressed the effective density of interface traps responsible for the electrical fluctuations in the high-V G region. This report provides physical insight into the origins of electrical fluctuations in NW phototransistors.

Background: Sarcopenia, which is associated with many pathways and molecular mechanisms, not only deteriorates the quality of life in old age but is also linked to various diseases. The ratio between cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) was utilized as a candidate method to diagnose sarcopenia. The hormones can fluctuate in concentration throughout the day, so monitoring the ratio between the two hormones is necessary.

Unintentional weight loss in older populations is linked to greater mortality and morbidity risks. This study aims to understand the metabolic mechanisms of unintentional weight loss and their relationship with body composition changes in older adults. We investigated plasma metabolite associations with weight and body composition changes over 5 years in 1335 participants (mean age 73.

The finger photoplethysmography fitness index (PPGF), a marker of peripheral vascular function, has been linked to heart rate (HR) variability. However, the influence of acute HR changes on resting PPGF, a purported indicator of local blood flow, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the influence of acute HR changes on resting PPGF.

Breast cancer remains a significant challenge in oncology, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic strategies that target necroptosis to overcome resistance to conventional therapies. Recent investigations into natural compounds have identified 8,12-dimethoxysanguinarine (SG-A) from Eomecon chionantha as a potential necroptosis inducer. This study presents the first computational exploration of SG-A interactions with key necroptotic proteins-RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL-through molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analyses.
