AI Article Synopsis

  • The text examines symbolic regression as a new method for analyzing how materials disperse light, contrasting it with traditional approaches.
  • Using genetic programming, the authors develop mathematical expressions from experimental optical data for both transparent and absorbing materials.
  • Initially focusing on transparent dielectrics, the study later addresses the complexities of absorbing dielectrics, requiring advanced modeling techniques while adhering to causality principles.

Article Abstract

In this contribution we explore the possibilities and limitations of symbolic regression as an alternative to the approaches currently used to characterize the dispersive behavior of a given material. To this end, we make use of genetic programming to retrieve, from either ellipsometric or spectral data, closed-form expressions that model the optical properties of the materials studied. In a first stage we consider transparent dielectrics for our numerical experiments. Next we increase the complexity of the problem and consider absorbing dielectrics, which not only require the use of complex functions to model their dielectric function, but also imply a supplementary constraint imposed by the verification of the causality principle.

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Retinal Functions and Diseases, Tianjin Branch of National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Disease, Eye Institute and School of Optometry, Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital, Tianjin, China.

Purpose: To develop and assess the psychometric properties of a quality of life (QoL) assessment tool for Chinese patients treated with intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF).

Methods: We developed a 31-item IVI-QoL questionnaire using semi- structured patient interviews and expert panel consultation, drawing on a study of the literature. After pretesting on a subset of patients undergoing IVI, the questionnaire was pared down to 23 items.

Enhanced Anti-Interference Photoelectrochemical DNA Bioassay: Grafting a Peptide-Conjugated Hairpin DNA Probe on a COF-Based Photocathode.

ACS Sens

Key Laboratory of Optic-Electric Sensing and Analytical Chemistry for Life Science, MOE, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266042, China.

Precise and sensitive analysis of specific DNA in actual human bodily fluids is crucial for the early diagnosis of major diseases and for a deeper understanding of DNA functions. Herein, by grafting a peptide-conjugated hairpin DNA probe to a covalent organic framework (COF)-based photocathode, a robust anti-interference photoelectrochemical (PEC) DNA bioassay was explored, which could specifically resist potential interference from nonspecific proteins and reducing species. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA was used as the target DNA (tDNA) for the PEC DNA bioassay.

Waste polyethylene (WPE) and virgin polyethylene (VPE) (50:50) thermoplastic have been melt-mixed with biochar (BC) made from orange peels at ratios of 5, 10, and 15(Phr) to evaluate how the filler content affected the mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). γ-rays was applied to the prepared specimens to assess how radiation affected the created biocomposites. From the obtained results, the combination of BC with γ-rays, at doses of up to 100 kGy, with thermoplastic resulted in an enhanced mechanical property, particularly for composites containing 15 Phr of BC added because of its unique structure and excellent dispersion.

Electronic devices cover a large subset of daily life gadgets which use power to run, hence increasing the load of the energy needs and indirectly impacting greenhouse gas emissions. Smart electrochromic windows provide a solution to this through remarkable energy saving by adjusting optical behavior depending on the environmental conditions. Since the electrochromic windows also need power to run, a self-powered electrochromic panel will be a better solution.

Enhancing Optical Properties of Lead-Free CsNaBiCl Nanocrystals via Indium Alloying.

Inorg Chem

January 2025

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jiangsu Engineering Laboratory of Light-Electricity-Heat Energy-Converting Materials and Applications, Changzhou University, Changzhou 213164, PR China.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of CsNaBiCl nanocrystals (NCs) doped with varying concentrations of In to improve their luminescent properties. Utilizing a colloidal solution method, we systematically varied the In concentration to identify the optimal alloying level for enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the CsNaBiCl NCs. Structural analysis confirmed that the In-alloyed NCs maintained high crystallinity and a uniform cubic shape.
