In this work, a surface-potential based compact model focusing on the quantum confinement effects of ultimately scaled gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET is presented. Energy quantization with sub-band formation along the radius direction of cylindrical GAAs or thickness direction of nanosheet GAAs leads to significant quantization effects. An analytical model of surface potentials is developed by solving the Poisson equation with incorporating sub-band effects. In combination with the existing transport model framework, charge-voltage and current-voltage formulations are developed based on the surface potential. The model formulations are then extensively validated using TCAD numerical simulations as well as Si data of nanosheet GAA MOSFETs. Simulations of typical circuits verify the model robustness and convergence for its applications in GAA technology.

Despite the pivotal role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in anti-tumor immunity, a substantial proportion of CTL-rich hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients experience early relapse or immunotherapy resistance. However, spatial immune variations impacting the heterogeneous clinical outcomes of CTL-rich HCCs remain poorly understood. Here, we compared the single-cell and spatial landscapes of 20 CTL-rich HCCs with distinct prognoses using multiplexed in situ staining and validated the prognostic value of myeloid spatial patterns in a cohort of 386 patients.

Introduction: We assessed the risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes and birth defects among women living with HIV (WLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV-negative women.

Methods: We analyzed data on live births, stillbirths, and spontaneous abortions during 2015-2021 from a hospital-based birth defects surveillance system in Kampala, Uganda. ART regimens were recorded from hospital records and maternal self-reports.

Capacitive sensors are commonly used in superconducting gravimeters due to their high resolution and low drift. This study developed a cryogenic front-end circuit for superconducting gravimeters to reduce the negative effects of parasitic capacitance on capacitive sensors. The front-end circuit comprises a noiseless superconducting transformer and a low-noise cryogenic preamplifier, both of which are positioned adjacent to the capacitive sensor probe.

Importance: Investigating rural-urban and regional differences in the association between dual sensory loss (concurrent hearing and vision loss) and depression may highlight gaps in sensory loss research and health care services, and by socioeconomic status. Whether urbanicity and region may modify associations between sensory loss and depression is unknown.

Objective: To describe the rural-urban and regional differences in the association of dual sensory loss with depression among older adults.

The human microbiota may influence the effectiveness of drug therapy by activating or inactivating the pharmacological properties of drugs. Computational methods have demonstrated their ability to screen reliable microbe-drug associations and uncover the mechanism by which drugs exert their functions. However, the previous prediction methods failed to completely exploit the neighborhood topologies of the microbe and drug entities and the diverse correlations between the microbe-drug entity pair and the other entities.
