Controlling Valence Band for Cu2Sn0.38Ge0.62S3 Particles via Li Substitution at Cu Sites
Abstract Cu2(Sn,Ge)S3 (CTGS) is a promising near-infrared-responsive photocathode material whose conduction band minimum can be tuned by varying the Sn/Ge ratio, whereas direct control of the valence band maximum (VBM) remains challenging because of the large Cu 3d contribution t...

Pinwheel Scheduling with Real Periods
For a sequence of tasks, each with a positive integer period, the pinwheel scheduling problem involves finding a valid schedule in the sense that the schedule performs one task per day and each task is performed at least once every consecutive days of its period. It had been conj...

BACKGROUND: Cholangiolocarcinoma (CLC) is a rare liver cancer with ≥ 80% ductular configuration (DC). Given its rarity, its clinicopathological characteristics remain poorly understood, and its status as a distinct disease entity remains controversial. We conducted a nationwide m...

Abstract Background Status epilepticus (SE) has been defined as a seizure that persists for more than 5 min. If SE persists despite benzodiazepine and appropriately dosed antiseizure medications, it could be regarded as refractory SE (RSE). New-onset refractory status epilepticus...

Comparative in vivo evaluation of colistin resistance determinants in Escherichia coli clone ST131
Background Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections. Health risks associated with colistin resistance are commonly inferred from resistance phenotypes, despite limited in vivo evidence linking resistance determinants to pathog...

Sewn textile strain sensors (STSSs) provide a scalable and textile-integrated approach for wearable motion monitoring. In this work, STSSs were fabricated on a rib knitted fabric using silver-plated nylon thread (SPNT) by lockstitch sewing. The stitch distance and sewing layer nu...

Colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma (CAC) arises in the setting of long-standing inflammatory bowel disease and shows clinicopathological and molecular differences from sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Loss of SATB2 expression is increasingly recognized in a subset of CACs, but...

Individualization and Purification of Carbon Nanothreads
Notwithstanding the synthesis of many types of carbon nanothreads with different structures, compositions, and theoretical property predictions, the experimental verification of thread properties remains challenging due to a paucity of techniques to disperse as-grown solid-state...
