Inorganic halide perovskites are promising light absorbers due to their thermal stability, high absorption, and tunable optoelectronic properties. CsPbIBr, with a suitable bandgap and robust phase stability, is particularly attractive for indoor photovoltaics (IPVs). However, achieving uniform, defect-minimized films remains challenging.

Brain structural morphology varies over the aging trajectory, and the prediction of a person's age using brain morphological features can help the detection of an abnormal aging process. Neuroimaging-based brain age is widely used to quantify an individual's brain health as deviation from a normative brain aging trajectory. Machine learning approaches are expanding the potential for accurate brain age prediction but are challenging due to the great variety of machine learning algorithms.

Recombinant and strains were engineered by simultaneous chemical and ultraviolet-induced random mutagenesis to enhance bio-alcohol production. Our study investigated the bio-alcohol production of six variants of (EM1-6) and mutants (BM1-6). The induced mutation in the EM variants increased isobutanol (C4 alcohol) production most effectively, whereas pH adjustment and additional l-valine feeding increased isobutanol production by the BM variants.

However, the optimal extraction conditions for sHCG, and the bioactivity of its extracts, have not been evaluated.
Methods: Chlorogenic acid (CGA) and ginsenoside contents were evaluated in sHCG, white ginseng (WG), and red ginseng (RG) using high-performance liquid chromatography.
is regarded as a suitable host for biochemical production owing to its excellent growth and bioresource utilization characteristics. In addition, the distinct endogenous metabolic pathways and the suitability of the heterologous pathways have made a robust and promising host for producing biochemicals, such as: bioalcohols; bioorganic acids (lactic acids, -ketoglutaric acid, and -aminobutyric acid); biopolymers (poly(-glutamic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and polysaccharides and monosaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine, xylooligosaccharides, and hyaluronic acid)); and bioflocculants. Also for producing oligopeptides and functional peptides, owing to its efficient protein secretion system.

Ginseng requires long-term cultivation, but this can be shortened using hydroponic systems to facilitate the commercial development of ginseng as a functional food. However, the characteristics of short-term-cultured (< 30 days) hydroponic ginseng (sHCG) are unclear.

However, stellate ganglion block (SGB) alone often does not achieve sufficient sympatholysis of the upper extremity. The paravertebral space continues up to the cervical sympathetic chain and includes the stellate ganglion.

The aim of this study is to develop an alternative way to locate the sacral hiatus for blind caudal block from the anthropometrical data measured on 3D pelvic CT. The intersection of the line connecting two sacral cornua and the midline is considered the ideal point (IP) for caudal block. The mean length from the coccyx tip to the IP was measured using 3D pelvic CT images in 30 men and 30 women and was 6.

A Gram-stain negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 2-56, was isolated from water and characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 2-56 belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes and is closely related to Flavobacterium paronense KNUS1 (98.4%) and Flavobacterium collinsense 4-T-2 (96.
