Tuning the Electrical Property and Electronic Band Structures of Organic Semiconductors via Surface Tension.

J Phys Chem Lett

Stress engineering is an effective way to tune the performance of semiconductors, which has been verified in the work of inorganic and organic single-crystal semiconductors. However, due to the limitations of the vapor-phase growth preparation conditions, the deposited polycrystalline organic semiconductors are more susceptible to residual stress. Therefore, it is of great research significance to develop a low-cost stress engineering applicable to vapor-deposited semiconductors.

BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. While AD diagnosis traditionally relies on clinical criteria, recent trends favor a precise biological definition. Existing biomarkers efficiently detect AD pathology but inadequately reflect the extent of cognitive impairment or disease heterogeneity.

Marine ecosystems, particularly estuaries, are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. The Odiel Estuary has suffered severe contamination from acid mine drainage and industrial activities. Since 1986, mitigation efforts have been implemented, yet their long-term ecological effectiveness remains under-evaluated.

Do generic population utility scores accurately represent real-world experienced health?

Qual Life Res

September 2025

School of Pharmacy, CHOICE Institute, University of Washington, 1956 NE Pacific St H362, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.

Purpose: Typically, cost-effectiveness analyses use societal utility weights for health states. These anticipated utility weights are derived from asking the general population to assess the impacts of hypothetical health states on their quality-of-life. This study evaluates how these weights align with real-world self-reported experienced health statuses.

Background And Objectives: Older adults living with dementia are a heterogeneous group, which can make studying optimal medication management challenging. Unsupervised machine learning is a group of computing methods that rely on unlabeled data-that is, where the algorithm itself is discovering patterns without the need for researchers to label the data with a known outcome. These methods may help us to better understand complex prescribing patterns in this population.
