Lotus root-like porous carbon for potassium ion battery with high stability and rate performance by Wang, Huanhuan, Artemova, Anastasiia, Yang, Guang, Wang, Haisheng, Zhang, Lili, Cao, Xu, Arkhipova, Ekaterina, Liu, Jilei, Huang, Yizhong, Lin, Jianyi, Shen, Zexiang

“…Specifically, the in-situ growth of nitrogen-doped lotus-root like carbon matrix contributes to porous and robust structures, which can keep the structural integrity even after long-term cycling test at high current density. Besides, the high conductivity with nitrogen doping contributes to fast current response and fast K+ kinetics, exhibiting high rate capability and high surface contribution. …”

Nanopore sequencing analysis of integron gene cassettes in sewages and soils by An, Xin-Li, Abass, Olusegun K., Zhao, Cai-Xia, Xu, Mei-Rong, Pan, Ting, Pu, Qiang, Liao, Hu, Li, Hu, Zhu, Yong-Guan, Su, Jian-Qiang

“…The results showed that class 1 integron integrase genes were the most abundant in soils and sewages compared with class 2 and class 3 integrase genes. Long-term manure application exacerbated the enrichment of total ARGs, integrase genes and antibiotic resistance-associated gene cassettes, while antibiotics and heavy metals showed no impact on the overall resistome profile. …”

Mine yOur owN Anatomy: revisiting medical image segmentation with extremely limited labels by You, C, Dai, W, Liu, F, Min, Y, Dvornek, NC, Li, X, Clifton, DA, Staib, L, Duncan, JS

“…However, they face three common pitfalls: (1) tailness: medical image data usually follows an implicit long-tail class distribution. Blindly leveraging all pixels in training hence can lead to the data imbalance issues, and cause deteriorated performance; (2) consistency: it remains unclear whether a segmentation model has learned meaningful and yet consistent anatomical features due to the intra-class variations between different anatomical features; and (3) diversity: the intra-slice correlations within the entire dataset have received significantly less attention. …”

Laser-induced reduced-graphene-oxide micro-optics patterned by femtosecond laser direct writing by Low, Mun Ji, Lee, Hyub, Lim, Joel Chin Huat, Suchand Sandeep, Chandramathi Sukumaran, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham, Kim, Seung-Woo, Kim, Young-Jin

“…Here, we present ultra-thin diffractive LIRGO micro-optics patterned by femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) with high spatial resolution and wide design flexibility based on the wide parametric tunability of femtosecond pulsed lasers over conventional continuous-wave or long-pulsed lasers. By extensive parametric control of average power (10–120 mW), pulse repetition rate (1–500 kHz) and scan speed (1–100 mm/s) in FsLDW, ultra-thin micro-optics were patterned at three patterning regimes: non-thermal photoreduction regime, thermal photoreduction regime, and ablation regime. …”
