Residual stresses play a crucial role in both light-electricity conversion performances and the lifespan of photovoltaic (PV) cells. In this paper, the residual stress of triple junction cells ( GaInP/GaInAs/Ge) induced by laser-driven massive micro-particle impact is analyzed with a novel method based on backscattering Raman spectroscopy. The impact process, which induces damage to the PV cells and brings the residual stress, is also investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results show that the PV cells would exhibit various damage patterns. At the same time, strong residual stresses up to hundreds of MPa introduced in the damaged PV cells after impact have been analysis, providing an effective perspective to better understand the damage behavior and residual stress features of PV cells during their service life.

The extensive mining of bastnasite (CeFCO) has caused pollution of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), and fuorine (F) in the surrounding farmland soil, severely threatening the safety of the soil ecosystem. However, the interaction effects of various chemical fractions of La, Ce, and F on the composition of microbial communities are unclear. In our study, high-throughput sequencing was performed based on the pot experiments of four types of combined pollution soils, i.

Under confining pressure, rocks transition from brittle failure to plastic failure, and residual strength exists after complete failure. However, in the process of establishing rock damage constitutive models, the strength criteria used usually do not consider residual stress. In cold region engineering, the freeze-thaw effect caused by temperature changes should be considered in the constitutive model, and strength criteria should also be introduced.

Development of an accurate breast cancer detection classifier based on platelet RNA.

Sci Rep

December 2024

School of Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China.

Platelets possess cancer-induced reprogramming properties, thereby contributing to RNA profile alterations and further cancer progression, while the former is considered a promising biosource for cancer detection. Hence, tumor-educated platelets (TEP) are considered a prospective novel method for early breast cancer (BC) screening. Our study integrated the data from 276 patients with untreated BC, 95 with benign disease controls, 214 healthy controls, and 2 who underwent mastectomy in Chinese and European cohorts to develop a 10-biomarker diagnostic model.

Electronic address:

Statement Of Problem: Endodontically treated teeth often require post-and-core restorations for structural support because of extensive hard tissue loss. Assessment of the effect of the residual dentin thickness on the biomechanical performance of these restorations is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the residual dentin thickness in mandibular premolars after post-and-core restorations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to analyze the stress distribution with finite element analysis (FEA).

Effect of Bias Voltage on the Microstructure and Photoelectric Properties of W-Doped ZnO Films.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Electronic Functional Materials and Devices, Huizhou University, Huizhou 516007, China.

W-doped ZnO (WZO) films were deposited on glass substrates by using RF magnetron sputtering at different substrate bias voltages, and the relationships between microstructure and optical and electrical properties were investigated. The results revealed that the deposition rate of WZO films first decreased from 8.8 to 7.
