A lead-free (K,Na)NbO-based piezoelectric ceramic is textured along the (001) direction using the NaNbO (NN) seeds. The composition 0.96(KNa)(NbSb)O-0.01CaZrO-0.03(BiK)HfO (KNN) is found to provide an excellent combination of electromechanical coefficients at room temperature. The textured composition with 5 wt % NN template (KNN-5NN) exhibits considerably improved electromechanical coefficients, ∼ 590 pC/N, ∼ 0.46, and ∼ 215 ×10 C/N, at room temperature. A flexible piezoelectric energy harvester (F-PEH) is fabricated using the textured KNN-5NN ceramic and tested under cyclic force. F-PEH exhibits enhanced output voltage ( ∼ 25 V), current ( ∼ 0.4 μA), and power density ( ∼ 5.5 mW/m) ( of 10 MΩ) in the off-resonance frequency regime. In comparison to the random ceramic KNN-0NN-based F-PEH ( ∼ 8 V and ∼ 0.1 μA), the textured F-PEH significantly outperformed energy harvesting capability due to the large figure-of-merit value ( × ) ∼ 3354 ×10 m/J. This work provides a methodology for texturing lead-free materials and further implementing them in flexible energy harvesting devices and sensors.

Introduction: SPLASH (NCT04647526) is a multicenter phase III trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of [Lu]Lu-PNT2002 radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study leveraged a lead-in phase to assess tissue dosimetry and evaluate preliminary safety and efficacy, prior to expansion into a randomized phase. Here we report those results.

Background: Some studies have suggested that glaucoma may be associated with neurodegeneration and a higher risk of dementia.

Objective: To evaluate whether exposure to different categories of topical glaucoma medications is associated with differential dementia risks in people with glaucoma.

Methods: We used data from Adult Changes in Thought, a population-based, prospective cohort study that follows cognitively normal older adults from Kaiser Permanente Washington (KPWA) until Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia development.

The demand for antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant textiles has grown significantly with the increasing concern for health and hygiene. In this study, novel functional cotton fabric (EE) with long-lasting antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant activity was prepared by graft modification with triclosan and eugenol. EE shows more than 99% antibacterial and antifungal activity against , , , and through mechanisms such as inhibiting enzyme activity and disrupting cell structure.

We extend our previous work on the energetics and mechanisms of fragmentation in the mass spectrometry of triacylglycerols (TAGs). Previously, we proposed viable mechanisms for the collision-induced fragmentation of lithiated tripropionylglycerol using triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this work, we used a QqLIT mass spectrometer to study both double- and triple-stage spectra from a range of TAGs having acid chains of types AAA (identical acid chains), AAB, ABA, and ABC, with chain lengths of 6-18 carbon atoms; we also studied some TAGs having a single double bond in the Δ-9 position.
