Article Abstract
Optimizing the retaining ring structure can improve the quality of Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). This study establishes a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) model, while the model is validated by experiments. The results graphically demonstrate the influence of the retaining ring groove design on the motion of the slurry abrasive particles. The size of the retaining ring groove appears to have a threshold value, above which the abrasives start to have significant distribution in the wafer region. As the groove size continues to increase, the number of abrasives entering the ring increases abruptly and oscillates at specific nodes. The abrasive transfer rate increases with the number of grooves in the early stage but reaches a limit at a certain number of grooves. Meanwhile, the retaining ring position affects the transfer of the abrasives. This study provides a base for optimizing the design of retaining rings.

Platinum-group metal half-sandwich complexes are considered to be potential replacements of the clinically widely used platins which have several side effects and tend to cause resistance to develop. In our previous works, we used a range of 2-pyridyl-substituted N- and C-glycosyl heterocycles as N,N-chelating ligands to prepare ruthenium(II), osmium(II), iridium(III) and rhodium(III) polyhapto arene/arenyl half-sandwich complexes. Some of these complexes, particularly with the C-glucopyranosyl isoxazole derived ligand in its O-perbenzoylated form, exhibited greater anticancer efficiency than cisplatin and had minimal or negligible effects on non-transformed fibroblasts.

The sequential preparation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has received widespread concern for its use in large-scale perovskite modules and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. However, the instability of the PbI precursor solution and the incomplete reaction of ammonium salts hinder the industrialization of PSCs. Here, by introducing phthalamide (PA) into PbI solution, the carbonyl oxygen of PA molecules undergoes a bidentate coordination reaction with Pb to form an octahedral coordination structure, and the nitrogen atom in the -NH group exhibits weakly acidic properties due to the conjugation effect.

In mammals, sperm formation is completed in the seminiferous tubules within the testis, and sperm maturation occurs during the epididymal transit of the spermatozoa. Sperm morphology drastically changes when abnormal spermatozoa migrate from the testis to the epididymis. Detailed molecular mechanisms for sperm survival in the epididymis have not been determined yet.

Background: Cleaning overdentures is challenging due to their complex metallic structures, which often create small and irregular areas that are difficult to clean. Thus, it is necessary to find an effective and safe method for their maintenance.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of hygiene methods on the dimensional changes and retention force of the O-ring system over a simulated two-year period.
