Article Abstract

Matrix thickness surrounding PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) significantly influences charge transport in photovoltaic devices. Through an anchoring and post-depositional-growth strategy utilizing thiazoline-2-thiol (TT), this study achieves reduced matrix thickness and strengthened inter-dot coupling. These improvements elevate the power conversion efficiency from 12.1% to 13.6%.

This study aimed to develop an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin and evaluate its potential as a bioscaffold for skin wound repair. Structural and compositional changes before and after decellularisation were assessed through histological staining, electron microscopy and immunological analysis. The matrix exhibited low immunogenicity, preserved extracellular matrix architecture and retained key bioactive components.

The rapid advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies has significantly expanded their potential applications such as sensors and detector technology. In this study, the gamma-ray shielding performance of ulexite-doped composite resins fabricated via Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing was experimentally investigated to evaluate radiation attenuation capacity. Composite resins containing different ulexite loadings (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%) were exposed to gamma rays at energies of 356, 662, 1173, and 1333 keV to evaluate their attenuation characteristics.

Accurate prediction of time-varying dynamic parameters during the milling process is a prerequisite for chatter-free cutting of thin-walled parts. In this paper, a matrix iterative prediction method based on weighted parameters is proposed for the time-varying structural modes during the milling of thin-walled blade structures. The thin-walled blade finite element model is established based on the 4-node plate element, and the time-varying dynamic parameters of the workpiece during the cutting process can be obtained by modifying the thickness of the nodes through the constructed mesh element finite element model It is not necessary to re-divide the mesh elements of the thin-walled parts at each cutting position, thus improving the calculation efficiency of the dynamic parameters of the workpiece.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by synovial hyperplasia and pannus formation, which serves as its primary pathological feature and may ultimately result in joint deformities. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is involved in the formation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix, but its role in RA is not yet clear. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of lysyl oxidase (LOX) in synovial hyperplasia and pannus formation associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
