Relatively high volumetric shrinkage induced by polymerization of photopolymer severely limits its applications in high-density holographic storage. In this paper, what we believe to be a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) of octaphenyl-polyhedral Oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) are employed into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/acrylamide photopolymer with 300µm thickness. By optimizing the concentration of octaphenyl-POSS, the volumetric shrinkage is successfully suppressed from 1.11% to 0.41%, and satisfies the requirements of commercial holographic data storage (HDS) material. Moreover, the introduction of POSS NPs does not sacrifice other holographic recording capacities. Contrarily, the diffraction efficiency of photopolymer after dispersing 2‰(w/v) POSS increases from 86% to 90%. The physical mechanism of enhanced capacities is discussed by using photopolymerization and NPs diffusion process. To our knowledge, this is the best results of PVA/acrylamide photopolymer with low volumetric shrinkage, high diffraction efficiency and angular selectivity. The POSS-dispersed photopolymer system is expected to have good application prospects in angular-multiplexing high-density 3-D holographic storage.

Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm)-based smart hydrogels are widely employed in emerging applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering, because their lower critical solution temperature (LCST) is close to physiological conditions. However, the dense chain collapse during the thermo-responsive phase transition restricts water diffusion, resulting in limited volumetric change. Here, a pure PNIPAm hydrogel that achieves a large-scale volume transition by incorporating PNIPAm microgels, is presented.

There is a paucity of studies reporting the use of automated contouring function on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images acquired during image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with offline adaptive radiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This case report discusses the use of an automated contouring function on CBCT images acquired during IGRT to quantify the dose distribution variations associated with tumor shrinkage in a patient with large NSCLC. A 72-year-old woman with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (T4N1M0; tumor diameter: 14 cm) underwent chemoradiotherapy.

Using a pilot-scale chamber with an interior capacity of 340 L, European aspen () wood boards were thermally modified (TM) under pressure in nitrogen at a maximum temperature of 160-170 °C, for 60-180 min, and with an initial nitrogen pressure of 4-5 bar. After the TM process, aspen wood was characterised by dimensional changes, mass loss (ML), equilibrium moisture content (EMC), antiswelling efficiency (ASE), cell wall total water capacity (CWTWC), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and Brinell hardness (BH). This work offers fresh insights into the characteristics of aspen wood following a closed TM process in pressurised nitrogen.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the non-inferiority of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) with membrane stabilization compared with non-stabilization, focusing on changes of soft-tissue contour in periodontally compromised extraction sockets. Secondary outcomes included changes in hard-tissue contour, patient-reported outcomes and new bone formation.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with periodontally compromised teeth were randomly assigned to ARP with (test group) or without (control group) membrane stabilization.
