Electronic structures and charge transport mobilities in hybrid organic-inorganic mixed Sn-Pb alloyed perovskites.

An all-perovskite tandem cell based on narrow-bandgap mixed tin-lead (Sn-Pb) alloyed perovskites is a potential photovoltaic device whose power conversion efficiency can exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit of a single-junction solar cell, 33%. However, comprehensive descriptions of the charge-carrier mobilities and transport mechanisms in the mixed Sn-Pb perovskite system remain elusive. Herein, we integrate density functional theory (DFT) calculations with charge transport models to provide more insight into the electronic structures and transport behaviors of these materials.

Long-Term Outcomes of Ceramic Veneers Restorations: A Comprehensive Analysis of Clinical and Patient-Reported Metrics.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of ceramic veneers after 9-10 years, assess patient-reported outcomes, and examine their associations.

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients with ceramic veneers aged 9-10 years were recalled for a clinical examination. Each participant completed a questionnaire on satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life, specifically using the Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP) scale.

Chemical profiling and clustering of various dried cannabis flowers revealed by volatilomics and chemometric processing.

Cannabis flower scent is one of the key characteristics of the cannabis plant. The diverse scents impact user experiences and offer medicinal benefits. These scents originate from volatile compounds, particularly terpenes and terpenoids.

Furopyridine Derivatives as Potent Inhibitors of the Wild Type, L858R/T790M, and L858R/T790M/C797S EGFR.

The treatment of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is complicated by drug-sensitive activating L858R/T790M and L858R/T790M/C797S mutations. To overcome drug resistance, a series of furopyridine (PD) compounds were virtually screened to identify potent EGFR inhibitors using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the solvated interaction energy (SIE) method. Several PD compounds identified from virtual screening demonstrated the potential to suppress both wild-type and mutant forms of EGFR, with IC values in the nanomolar range.

Health Effects of Heavy Metal Exposure Among E-waste Workers and Community-dwelling Adults in Thailand: A Cross-sectional Study.

Objectives: Global concern is increasing about the health effects of electronic waste (e-waste). This study examines the health impacts of heavy metal (HM) exposure among e-waste workers (EWWs) and community-dwelling adults (CDAs) in Northeastern Thailand and identifies factors associated with adverse health outcomes.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 164 EWWs and 164 CDAs.

Calcium chloride supplementation in sows: Enhancing farrowing efficiency and piglet viability during transition period.

High-prolific sows have a high incidence of stillbirth and asphyxiated piglets due to calcium deficiencies. Calcium is important for enhancing farrowing efficacy and colostrum production. Calcium chloride (CaCl), an acidogenic compound that lowers dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD), promotes calcium mobilization, thereby mitigating the risk of calcium deficiency.

Fungal microbiome in gut of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-prone mice (pristane and FCGRIIb deficiency), a possible impact of fungi in lupus.

The gut mycobiota (fungal microbiota) plays a crucial role in the immune system, potentially impacting autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Despite growing interest, data on intestinal fungi in SLE remain limited. This study thereby investigated the human-mimicked (mice) gut mycobiome and quantitative gut mycobiome analyses using universal fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) DNA next generation sequencing and real-time PCR, tracking time-series dynamics from preclinical to established SLE conditions in two SLE-prone mouse models.

ProCAPTCHA: A profile-based CAPTCHA for personal password authentication.

CAPTCHA was introduced decades ago to distinguish between humans and bots. However, solving CAPTCHA has been a challenging issue for intruders. Various techniques, such as 3rd-party attacks, have been invented to break CAPTCHA.

The impact of RUNX2 gene variants on cleidocranial dysplasia phenotype: a systematic review.

Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities and dental anomalies, primarily caused by variants in the RUNX2 gene. Understanding the spectrum of RUNX2 variants and their effects on CCD phenotypes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management strategies. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively analyze the genotypic and phenotypic spectra of RUNX2 variants in CCD patients, assess their distribution across functional regions, and investigate genotype-phenotype correlations.
