Article Abstract

We report on the improvement of light extraction efficiency from GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using Ni(1-x)Co(x)O nanoparticles (NPs) formed on the p-GaN layer. After formation of Ni(1-x)Co(x)O hemispherical lens arrays on the blue LEDs by drop-casting colloidal NPs, electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements are conducted to investigate the electrical and optical properties. The PL and EL intensities from the blue LEDs with the Ni(1-x)Co(x)O NPs are 1.74 and 1.61 times greater, respectively, than a conventional LED. Finally, a hybrid approach using ZnO nanorod arrays grown on the NiCoO hemispherical lens shows further increase of light extraction by 3.8 and 6.2 times compared to LEDs with bare NiCoO NPs and without any NPs, respectively. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results also agree well with the experimental results. The enhancement of light extraction from LEDs with ZnO nanorods and NiCoO NPs can be attributed to an enlarged escape angle cone and increased probability of light scattering.

Objective: This study investigated the locations of amino acid modifications within two major human hair keratins (Type I K31 and Type II K85) with probable implications for protein and hair structural component integrity. The particular focus was on cysteine modifications that disrupt intra-protein and inter-protein disulphide bonds.

Methods: Human hair was exposed to accelerated, sequential heat or UV treatments, simulating effects resulting from the use of heated styling tools and environmental exposure over a time frame approximating one year.

Naomaohu lignite (NL) from Hami, Xinjiang, was ultrasonically extracted with a mixed solvent of CS and acetone (in equal volumes) to obtain the extract residue (ER). The ER was then separated based on density differences with CCl to yield the corresponding light residue (NL-L). The composition and structural characteristics of the light residue were characterized by proximate, ultimate, infrared, and thermogravimetric analyses (TG-DTG).

Background: Deformable medical image registration is a critical task in medical imaging-assisted diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, medical image registration methods based on deep learning have made significant success by leveraging prior knowledge, and the registration accuracy and computational efficiency have been greatly improved. Models based on Transformers have achieved better performance than convolutional neural network methods (ConvNet) in image registration.

The essential cofactor coenzyme A (CoASH) and its thioester derivatives (acyl-CoAs) have pivotal roles in cellular metabolism. However, the mechanism by which different acyl-CoAs are accurately partitioned into different subcellular compartments to support site-specific reactions, and the physiological impact of such compartmentalization, remain poorly understood. Here, we report an optimized liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based pan-chain acyl-CoA extraction and profiling method that enables a robust detection of 33 cellular and 23 mitochondrial acyl-CoAs from cultured human cells.

This study presents an eco-friendly approach for the green synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) using () (einkorn wheat) seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized MnONPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET, and zeta potential analyses, which confirmed their crystalline nature, spherical morphology, and mesoporous structure with a surface area of 41.50 m/g.
