Article Abstract

These data are supplied for supporting their interpretations and discussions provided in the research article "Large influence of vacancies on the elastic constants of cubic epitaxial tantalum nitride layers grown by reactive magnetron sputtering" by Abadias et al. (2020) [doi: 10.1016/j.actamat.2019.11.041]. The datasheet describes the experimental methods used to measure the longitudinal (V) and transverse (V) sound velocities of cubic epitaxial TaN/MgO thin films, and their related cubic elastic constants (c, c and c), by the picosecond laser ultrasonic (PLU) and the Brillouin light scattering (BLS) techniques, respectively. First-principles numerical simulations provide additional data using specifically designed supercells of TaN structures, generated either by hand or using the alloy theoretical automated toolkit (ATAT) method [A. Zunger et al. (1990)], with different configurations (random, cluster and ordered) of defects (Ta and N vacancies). Phonons calculations support discussion of dynamical mechanical stability of defected TaN cubic structures. The data illustrate the huge role of vacancies in elastic properties and phase stability of TaN films.

Formation of Highly Negatively Charged Supported Lipid Bilayers on a Silica Surface: Effects of Ionic Strength and Osmotic Stress.

Langmuir

Solid supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) serve as an excellent platform for biophysical studies. However, the formation of highly negatively charged SLBs on negatively charged surfaces remains a challenge due to electrostatic repulsion. Here, we study the effects of ionic strength and osmotic stress on the formation of highly negatively charged SLBs on the silica surface.

Objectives: Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder that typically affects men. Women are usually asymptomatic carriers, and rarely presenting with severe or moderately severe phenotype. This study aims to describe a case of a 17-year-old girl with moderate HA, investigating the mechanisms of her condition and the genetic basis within her family.

Background: Full-thickness cartilage defects have a significant impact on the function of joints in young adults, and the treatment of cartilage defects has been a challenge, as cartilage tissue is an avascular tissue. This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of Biphasic Cartilage Repair Implant (BiCRI) and microfracture treatments for knee cartilage defects.

Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial enrolled patients with symptomatic knee chondral lesions smaller than 3 cm.

Background: Osteopenia (ON) and osteoporosis (OP) are highly prevalent among postmenopausal women and poses a challenge for early diagnosis. Therefore, identifying reliable biomarkers for early prediction using metabolomics is critically important.

Methods: Initially, non-targeted metabolomics was employed to identify differential metabolites in plasma samples from cohort 1, which included healthy controls (HC, n = 23), osteonecrosis (ON, n = 36), and osteoporosis (OP, n = 37).

Oral cancer detection is based on biopsy histopathology, however with digital microscopy imaging technology there is real potential for rapid multi-site imaging and simultaneous diagnostic analysis. Fifty-nine patients with oral mucosal abnormalities were imaged in vivo with a confocal laser endomicroscope using the contrast agents acriflavine and fluorescein for the detection of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral cancer. To analyse the 9168 images frames obtained, three tandem applied pre-trained Inception-V3 convolutional neural network (CNN) models were developed using transfer learning in the PyTorch framework.
