Enhanced light extraction of micro-pixelated LEDs by arc-shaped mesa sidewall
The micro-structuring of heterostructure layers is an efficient method to enhance the light extraction efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The light extraction efficiency of micro-pixelated LEDs emitting at 230 nm with arc-shaped mesa sidewalls has been studied by Monte-C...

Bimetallic Metal‐Acetylide Frameworks for Highly Selective and Durable H 2 O 2 Electrosynthesis
ABSTRACT Metal‐acetylide frameworks (MAFs) feature tunable d–π orbital hybridization between transition metal centers and π‐ conjugated acetylide linkers. Here we report a two‐dimensional (2D) MAF, ZnTTPP‐Ni‐AF, assembled from zinc‐thienylporphyrin units (ZnTTPP) and nickel(II)‐b...

The diagnosis of a psychotic disorder in youth often leads to high costs, emotional distress, and isolation for caregivers. Yet, caregiving experiences are underexplored in research, resulting in a potentially missed area to enhance care. We aim to explore the experiences, percep...

Abstract Microbial-explicit soil carbon models offer mechanistic representations of soil carbon turnover, but their application to the field remains limited, which is commonly attributed to the scarce microbial observations. However, usually there are significant mismatches betwe...

BIOMONITORING OF HUMAN EXPOSURE TO LEAD: A REVIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE
Objectives. Lead remains one of the most hazardous and persistent environmental toxicants and continues to pose a major public health concern, particularly for children and women of reproductive age. The harmonization of national legislation with European Union standards necessit...

Associative Memory and Cumulative Learning in Artificial Intelligence
Conceptual research paper — not peer reviewed. Persistent artificial intelligence should be evaluated by how accumulated experience changes later judgment. This paper develops that proposition through a critical synthesis of associative memory, evolving agent memory, feedback-bas...
