We report high light extraction from the top emission OLED (TEOLED) device structure by improving mainly the waveguide mode loss in the atomic layer deposition processed thin film encapsulation (TFE) layer. A novel structure incorporating the light extraction concept using evanescent waves and the hermetic encapsulation of a TEOLED device is presented here. When the TEOLED device is fabricated using the TFE layer, a substantial amount of generated light is trapped inside the device due to the difference in refractive index (RI) between the capping layer (CPL) and the aluminum oxide (AlO) layer. By inserting a low RI layer at the interface between the CPL and AlO, the direction of the internal reflected light is changed by the evanescent waves. The high light extraction with the low RI layer is attributed to the presence of evanescent waves and an electric field in the low RI layer. The novel fabricated TFE structure, CPL/ low RI layer/ AlO/ polymer/ AlO, is reported here. The current efficiency of the fabricated blue TEOLED device using this low RI layer is improved by about 23% and the blue index value is enhanced by about 26%. This new approach for light extraction will be applicable to future encapsulation technology for flexible optoelectronic devices.

A simple, rapid, and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the determination of β-sitosterol in the pharmaceutical dosage form of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO). This method involved an effective sample procedure for extraction of β-sitosterol from MEBO using an alkali saponification agent composed of 0.8 N ethanolic NaOH and diethyl ether.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a critical global focus due to their increasing use, raising concerns about their environmental distribution and human exposure, both vital to food safety and human health. Surface soil (0-30 cm) and corresponding rice grain samples (n = 85) were collected from paddy fields in Taiwan. This study investigated the total REE contents in soil through aqua regia digestion, as well as their labile forms extracted using 0.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Linggui Zhugan Decoction(LGZGD) on autophagy in the mouse model of chronic heart failure(CHF) induced by myocardial infarction(MI), as well as the regulatory effect of LGZGD on the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) signaling pathway, based on bioinformatics and animal experiments. The active ingredients and corresponding targets of LGZGD were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Database, and GEO, GeneCards, and DisGeNET were searched for the disease targets. Cytoscape was used to establish a "drug-component-target" network.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins that initiate signaling cascades through activation of its G protein upon association with its ligand. In all mammalian vision, rhodopsin is the GPCR responsible for the initiation of the phototransduction cascade. Within photoreceptors, rhodopsin is bound to its chromophore 11-cis-retinal and is activated through the light-sensitive isomerization of 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal, which activates the transducin G protein, resulting in the phototransduction cascade.
