Improving the luminous efficiency of GaN-based micro-LEDs by integrating micro-nanostructures.

The significant reduction in chip size introduces severe sidewall etching damage, leading to reduced quantum efficiency of micro-LEDs. Furthermore, luminous efficiency is limited by the refractive index mismatch at the p-GaN/air interface and optical losses induced by surface metal electrodes. In this work, we numerically and experimentally investigated the effects of integrating microlens arrays and nanolens arrays on the luminous efficiency of conventional micro-LEDs.

Real-world effectiveness of rezvilutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy in patients with low-volume, metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer: a retrospective multicenter study.

Background: The CHART study established the combination of rezvilutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as a standard treatment for patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, the therapeutic outcomes of this regimen in patients with low-volume mHSPC remain insufficiently defined. This study thus aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness of rezvilutamide combined with ADT in the treatment of low-volume mHSPC.

Klebsiella aerogenes exacerbates colon tumorigenesis in the AOM/DSS-induced C57BL/6J mouse.

Klebsiella aerogenes (K. aerogenes, KA) is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen from the Klebsiella species and the Enterobacteriaceae family. However, the impact of K.

Wastewater treatment: A universal, scalable and recyclable catalyst with adjustable activity for diverse dyes degradation.

The growing concern over water shortage and pollution is propelling and accelerating the development of sewage treatment technologies. Among them, the catalytic hydrogenation method is highly recommended from a sustainable perspective, because it can turn toxic pollutants into valuable raw materials. The catalyst with excellent activity and stability plays a critical role in this "trash to treasure" approach.

Review of the emGekko/em (emJaponigekko/em) emsubpalmatus/em complex (Squamata, Sauria, Gekkonidae), with description of a new species from China.

The gecko species Gekko (Japonigekko) subpalmatus was previously recorded with a relatively wide distribution from eastern, southern, and southeastern China. However, the populations in southern China are currently recognized as another valid species G. (J.

Re-examination of the Chinese record of (Squamata, Natricidae), resulting in the first national record of and description of a new species.

The taxonomic status of the previous record of Stuart & Chuaynkern, 2007 from Guangdong and Guangxi, southern China, is revised based on the comparison of morphological and molecular data collected from the Chinese specimens and the holotype of from Thailand and Ziegler, Pham, Nguyen, Nguyen, Wang, Wang, Stuart & Le, 2019 from Vietnam. Results reveal that the population from Shiwandashan Nature Reserve in southern Guangxi, China belongs to , and represents the first national record for China; the populations from western Guangdong and southeastern Guangxi are described as a new species, We suggest that should be removed from the Chinese herpetofauna checklist. The new national record of and the description of the new species bring the total number of to 13 in China.

A new species of the genus Achalinus from southwestern Guangdong Province, China (Squamata: Xenodermatidae).

A new species of xenodermatid snake, Achalinus yunkaiensis J. Wang, Y. Li Y.

Impact of the lips for biometrics.

In this paper, the impact of the lips for identity recognition is investigated. In fact, it is a challenging issue for identity recognition solely by the lips. In the first stage of the proposed system, a fast box filtering is proposed to generate a noise-free source with high processing efficiency.

Feminizing adrenocortical adenoma presenting as heterosexual precocious puberty: report of one case.

We report on a case of a 2 2/12-year-old boy with heterosexual precocious puberty secondary to a feminizing adrenocortical adenoma. The boy, with no previous history of disease or treatment, presented with bilateral gynecomastia and pubic hair development (Tanner III breasts and Tanner II pubic hair). Plasma estradiol and testosterone were 410.

Outcome of hypospadias reoperation based on preoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis.

From August 1981 to June 2004, we retrospectively reviewed 66 hypospadias, treated with 123 operations, to analyze the outcome of reoperation based on preoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. All patients received primary treatment in our hospital, and all had postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis in all surgical procedures. We define a hypopadias repair as "corrected without fistula" if no urethrocutaneous fistula formation, or complete wound disruption is found within at least a 2-week follow-up period.

Amphetamine inhibits the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated responses by directly interacting with the receptor/channel complex.

Amphetamine (AMPH) induces behavioral sensitization and neurotoxicity primarily by enhancing the dopamine-mediated neurotransmission. However, the involvement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in AMPH-induced neuropathology is also known. Recent investigation has found that high concentration of dopamine could inhibit NMDA receptor-mediated responses by blocking the NMDA receptor channel.
