In artificial intelligence and deep learning applications, data collection from a variety of objects is of great interest. One way to support such data collection is to use very thin, mechanically flexible sensor sheets, which can cover an object without altering the original shape. This study proposes a thin, macroscale, flexible, tactile pressure...

A superantiwetting surface based on low-aspect-ratio hierarchical cylinder arrays (HCAs) was successfully obtained on a silica substrate by colloidal lithography with photolithography. Colloidal lithography is a technique involving transfer of a pattern to a substrate by etching or exposure to a radiation source through a mask composed of a packed ...

Group IV monochalcogenides exhibit spontaneous polarization and ferroelectricity, which are important in photovoltaic materials. Since strain engineering plays an important role in ferroelectricity, in the present work, the effect of equibiaxial strain on the band structure and shift currents in monolayer two-dimensional (2D) GeS and SnS has system...

Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with a low incidence of colorectal cancer, but the specific dietary constituents involved and mechanisms related to these beneficial effects are still sparse. Sofrito, a traditional MD preparation, is a mix of foods characteristics of MD such as tomato, onion, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil, which contains ...

Due to their relatively large molecular sizes and delicate nature, biologic drugs such as peptides, proteins, and antibodies often require high and repeated dosing, which can cause undesired side effects and physical discomfort in patients and render many therapies inordinately expensive. To enhance the efficacy of biologic drugs, they could be enc...

Analysis of miRNA-target mRNA interaction (MTI) is of crucial significance in discovering new target candidates for miRNAs. However, the biological experiments for identifying MTIs have a high false positive rate and are high-priced, time-consuming, and arduous. It is an urgent task to develop effective computational approaches to enhance the inves...

Venetoclax is an emerging drug for the treatment of various types of blood cancers. It was first approved in 2016 for the treatment of relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Later, the indications expanded, and multiple research as well as clinical studies are still conducted involving venetoclax. No analytical method for the determi...

Attempts to synthesize ZnY2O4 are made via a solid-state reaction in a high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction chamber as well as analyzing Y2O3 sinter ceramics pressure infiltrated by ZnO in a scanning electron microscope using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The microstructure of the sinter cera...

In this study, the phase change paraffin and metal powder were mixed to form the composite phase change energy-storing material. This composite material was then injected into metal coil tubings at different coil spacings to form a composite phase change energy storage tubing system, which was then embedded in a wall. The thermal performance of the...

The temperature-induced structural changes of Fe–, Co–, and Ni–Au core–shell nanoparticles with diameters around 5 nm are studied via atomically resolved transmission electron microscopy. We observe structural transitions from local toward global energy minima induced by elevated temperatures. The experimental observations are accompanied by a comp...
