Nondestructive monitoring of annealing and chemical-mechanical planarization behavior using ellipsometry and deep learning.

The Cu-filling process in through-silicon via (TSV-Cu) is a key technology for chip stacking and three-dimensional vertical packaging.

Traditional methods of defect characterization are destructive and cumbersome.

Halide Perovskite glues activate two-dimensional covalent organic framework crystallites for selective NO sensing.

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs) are promising for gas sensing owing to the large surface area, abundant active sites, and their semiconducting nature. However, 2D COFs are usually produced in the form of insoluble micro-crystallites. Their poor contacts between grain boundaries severely suppress the conductivity, which are too low for chemresistive gas sensing.

Atomically Thick Oxide Overcoating Stimulates Low-Temperature Reactive Metal-Support Interactions for Enhanced Catalysis.

Reactive metal-support interactions (RMSIs) induce the formation of bimetallic alloys and offer an effective way to tune the electronic and geometric properties of metal sites for advanced catalysis. However, RMSIs often require high-temperature reductions (>500 °C), which significantly limits the tuning of bimetallic compositional varieties. Here, we report that an atomically thick GaO coating of Pd nanoparticles enables the initiation of RMSIs at a much lower temperature of ∼250 °C.

Effects of electrostatic therapy on nighttime sleep and daytime symptoms in patients with chronic insomnia: Evidences from an open label study.

Introduction: Transcranial electric stimulation (TES) is a neuromodulation approach that applies low-intensity electrical current to the brain and has been proposed as a treatment for insomnia. Electrostatic therapy is a kind of TES and people do not have a feeling of electrical stimuli when the voltage of static electricity is lower than 2,000 volts. However, no studies have examined the effects of electrostatic therapy on objective sleep and daytime symptoms in patients with insomnia.

A randomized controlled study of a combination of internal and external treatments for albumin paclitaxel-related peripheral neurotoxicity: A randomized controlled: A study protocol.

Introduction: Albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX), a novel paclitaxel preparation, has been found to successfully blocks tumor progression in breast and lung cancer. However, at the same time of as clinical application, neurotoxicity caused by nab-PTX has become the main factor limiting the clinical application of nab-PTX, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and increases their psychological or financial burden. In clinical applications, JHGWD combined with bloodletting therapy at the end of the extremities has a positive effect on neurotoxic symptoms such as numbness, pain, and weakness of the hands and feet caused by nab-PTX.

Implications of sympathetic activation for objective versus self-reported daytime sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnea.

Study Objectives: Objective excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is associated with systemic inflammation and a higher risk of cardiometabolic morbidity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that OSA with objective EDS is associated with higher levels of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) when compared with self-reported EDS. We, therefore, examined the associations between objective and self-reported EDS with SNA in patients with OSA.
