To fabricate multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) that can withstand external impacts, technologies to achieve excellent adhesion and mechanical strength of the cover layer should be essentially developed. Low adhesion and strength of the cover layer can lead to delamination and cracks in the MLCC, respectively. In this study, we present a method for applying polydopamine (PDA), a mussel-inspired adhesive protein, for as robust cover layer on an MLCC. Barium titanate (BT) particles treated with PDA increase the dispersion stability of the BT/PDA slurry, preventing re-agglomeration of the particles and enhancing the adhesiveness and strength owing to the cohesive properties of PDA. Compared to the BT layer, the adhesion of the BT/PDA layer was significantly enhanced by 217%; consequently, the compression modulus of the BT/PDA cover layer increased by 29.4%. After firing, the N-doped graphitic PDA played an important role in producing an MLCC cover layer with increased hardness and toughness. Furthermore, the N-doped graphitic PDA with a hydrophobic surface forms tortuous moisture paths in the cover layer, preventing the degradation of insulation resistance of the MLCC.

Robotic right-sided colon cancer surgery: Dissecting the outermost layer of the autonomic nerve along the superior mesenteric artery.

In right-sided colon cancer surgery, lymph node dissection around the superior mesenteric artery is necessary but technically challenging. Here we introduce the concept of "outermost layer-oriented robotic surgery" to improve the safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of superior mesenteric artery nodal dissection. In this procedure, the thin, loose connective tissue layer between the autonomic nerve sheath of the superior mesenteric artery and adipose tissue bearing lymph nodes, termed "the outermost layer of the autonomic nerve," is dissected.

The placenta, which acts as an interface between fetal and maternal circulations, is an indispensable organ for fetal growth in mammalian pregnancy. It mediates the transportation of nutrients, the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the excretion of waste products between the fetus and mother. The surface of placental villi is covered by two layers of mononuclear undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts (CT) and multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts (ST).

Aerial images can cover a wide area and capture rich scene information. These images are often taken from a high altitude and contain many small objects. It is difficult to detect small objects accurately because their features are not obvious and are susceptible to background interference.

Introduction: Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) represents the most common cause of dry eye disease (DED). Traditional treatments mainly rely on heating and liquifying the meibum to favor its expression. However, recent knowledge advances have led to the development of novel therapies specifically designed for patients with MGD.
