Core-level and valence band spectra of In Ga N films were measured using hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HX-PES). Fine structure, caused by the coupling of the localized Ga 3d and In 4d with N 2s states, was experimentally observed in the films. Because of the large detection depth of HX-PES (∼20 nm), the spectra contain both surface and bulk information due to the surface band bending. The In Ga N films ( = 0-0.21) exhibited upward surface band bending, and the valence band maximum was shifted to lower binding energy when the mole fraction of InN was increased. On the other hand, downward surface band bending was confirmed for an InN film with low carrier density despite its n-type conduction. Although the Fermi level () near the surface of the InN film was detected inside the conduction band as reported previously, it can be concluded that in the bulk of the film must be located in the band gap below the conduction band minimum.

Ammonia has garnered significant attention as a promising hydrogen carrier due to its high volumetric energy density, milder storage conditions, and relatively mature infrastructure. The electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) can facilitate the release of hydrogen from ammonia at the point of use, enabling on-demand hydrogen production without the need for high pressure storage. However, current AOR catalysts exhibit high overpotentials and sluggish kinetics, and they are susceptible to poisoning by AOR byproducts.

Band selection is a common approach to reduce the data dimensionality of hyperspectral imagery. It extracts several bands of importance in some sense by taking advantage of high spectral correlation. In medical imaging, narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an imaging technique for endoscopic diagnostic medical tests, where light of specific blue and green wavelengths is used to enhance the detail of certain aspects of the surface of the mucosa.

In this work CS-SDAEM polymer brushes with long-chain structure were synthesized, and TiO/CS-SDAEM nanoparticles were prepared by modifying them on the TiO surface. The prepared modified membrane can effectively degrade dyes through photocatalysis and can reduce the contamination rate of the membrane during use. The separation membrane achieves efficient removal of contamination by self-cleaning.

This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate. PCV is a rare, chronic, benign idiopathic inflammatory condition of the vulvar mucosa, characterized by a bright-red, chronic lesion of mucosa. Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.
