Thin gold (Au) films (10 nm) are deposited on different substrates by using a e-beam deposition system. Compared with sapphire and SiO surfaces, longer migration length of the Au adatoms is observed on MoS surfaces, which helps in the formation of a single-crystal Au film on the MoS surface at 200 °C. The results have demonstrated that with the assistance of van der Waals epitaxy growth mode, single-crystal 3D metals can be grown on 2D material surfaces. With the improved crystalline quality and less significant Au grain coalescence on MoS surfaces, sheet resistance 2.9 Ω/sq is obtained for the thin 10 nm Au film at 100 °C, which is the lowest value reported in literature. The highly conductive thin metal film is advantageous for the application of backend interconnects for the electronic devices with reduced line widths.

Background: Although the literature suggests high prevalences of sensory impairments after stroke, the independent contribution of sensory modalities to functionality needs further investigation.

Objective: To identify the prevalence and characterize the sensory impairment in adults with stroke and to verify the contribution of proprioceptive and exteroceptive impairments to their functional disability.

Methods: Exploratory cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital stroke unit.

Surgeons' views on hypospadias care journey: A qualitative study.

J Pediatr Urol

November 2024

School of Medicine and Public Health, The University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia; Urology Unit, Department of Surgery, The Children's Hospital at Westmead, NSW, Australia; Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney, NSW, Australia. Electronic address:

Background: Three major parties are involved in the hypospadias treatment journey - the patient, their parents/carers, and the surgeon. There is a strong trend towards involving all three, where possible, in deriving evidence around the care pathways. Currently, there are little data available on surgeons' perspectives of distal hypospadias care.

Electronic address:

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by recurrent eczematous lesions and severe itching, for which clinical treatments are limited. Selectively inhibiting Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) and tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family kinases is proposed as a promising strategy to treat AD with possible reduced side effects and enhanced efficacy. In this study, we developed a dual JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor ZZB, which demonstrated potent inhibitory activity with IC values of 0.

As a transitional zone where rivers meet the sea, estuaries are influenced by river transport and ocean tides, resulting in complex variations in parameters such as organic matter content, pH, and sediment salinity. This paper primarily explores the vertical migration patterns of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) under complex conditions, focusing on the soil sediments in the Dagu River estuary area. We designed an indoor soil column leaching experiment to investigate how soil organic matter content, pH, and salinity affect the vertical migration of PCBs in soil.

Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems has become a critical global environmental challenge, threatening biodiversity, water quality, and human health. This study investigates macroplastics distribution and characterization in the highly polluted Klang River, Malaysia, and proposes a protocol to compute total macroplastic yield in the river basin. A total of 240 macroplastic items were collected over a 20-km stretch from the river mouth inland, with an average of 0.
