Direct Sputtering Deposition of a Zn 1− x Ge x O x +1 Buffer Layer With a Controllable Conduction Band for Cd‐Free Cu(In,Ga)S 2 Solar Cells

Cu(In,Ga)S 2 (CIGS) is a promising candidate material for the absorber layer in tandem solar cells, but the unfavorable conduction band offset with the conventional CdS buffer layer means that an alternative n‐type buffer layer material is required. Here, n‐type Zn 1− x Ge x O x...

Mental Health Profiles in Community Acupuncture Clinics in Japan: A Multicenter Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

Background: The mental health status of patients attending acupuncture clinics in Japan remains poorly understood. Objective: To characterize mental health profiles of individuals attending acupuncture clinics across Japan. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Ten rural and ur...

Evaluation of the UK Myeloma Research Alliance risk profile in transplant‐ineligible multiple myeloma patients treated with novel agents

Summary The heterogeneity of multiple myeloma (MM) significantly impacts treatment outcomes. Myeloma risk profile (MRP), introduced by the UK Myeloma Research Alliance, is a novel prognostic model for patients with transplant‐ineligible newly diagnosed MM (TIE‐NDMM) utilizing eas...

Sensitivity Analysis of Short‐Term Frequency Stability to Post‐Contingency Active Power Increase and Support Duration from Deloaded Wind Turbines

The growing deployment of Type‐4 wind turbine generators (WTs), driven by carbon neutrality and net‐zero policies, may challenge frequency stability in power systems. Unlike synchronous generators, WTs connected to the power system via converters do not provide inertia. Neverthel...

Autonomous Vehicles, Urban Deployment, and Welfare Effects

ABSTRACT This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effects of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on the spatial structures of future cities. We consider two types of AVs, private AVs (PAVs) and shared AVs (SAVs). We assume that AVs have a lower marginal travel time cost than human...

Prediction-based sign placement using QA sampling

We present a pedestrian-flow forecasting and sign-placement workflow that leverages quantum annealing (QA) not as an optimizer, but as a sampler of individual trajectories. To reconstruct latent crowd dynamics from sparse measurements, we formulate a quadratic unconstrained binar...

Longitudinal Changes in Pituitary Area in Individuals Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Checkups

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate longitudinal changes in pituitary area and their associations with baseline characteristics and lifestyle factors in individuals undergoing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) checkups. Methods: A retrospective analysis was p...
