On the hole accelerator for III-nitride light-emitting diodes by Zhang, Zi-Hui, Zhang, Yonghui, Bi, Wengang, Geng, Chong, Xu, Shu, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Sun, Xiao Wei

“…In this work, we systematically conduct parametric studies revealing the sensitivity of the hole injection on the hole accelerator (a hole accelerator is made of the polarization mismatched p-electron blocking layer (EBL)/p-GaN/p-AlxGa1−xN heterojunction) with different designs, including the AlN composition in the p-AlxGa1−xN layer, and the thickness for the p-GaN layer and the p-AlxGa1−xN layer. According to our findings, the energy that the holes obtain does not monotonically increase as the AlN incorporation in the p-AlxGa1−xN layer increases. …”

Material characterization, thermal analysis, and mechanical performance of a laser-polished Ti alloy prepared by selective laser melting by Li, Yu-Hang, Wang, Bing, Ma, Cheng-Peng, Fang, Zhi-Hao, Chen, Long-Fei, Guan, Ying-Chun, Yang, Shou-Feng

“…Through a thermal history analysis of the laser polishing process using the finite element model, new martensitic phase formation in the laser polished layer is carefully explained, which reveals significant effects on residual stress, strength, and fatigue. These findings establish foundational data to predict the mechanical performance of laser polished metallic components fabricated by additive manufacturing methods, and pave the way for functional surface design with practical application via the laser process.…”

ANRIL promoter DNA methylation : a perinatal marker for later adiposity by Lillycrop, Karen, Murray, Robert, Cheong, Clara, Teh, Ai Ling, Clarke-Harris, Rebecca, Barton, Sheila, Costello, Paula, Garratt, Emma, Cook, Eloise, Titcombe, Philip, Shunmuganathan, Bhuvaneshwari, Liew, Samantha J., Chua, Yong-Cai, Lin, Xinyi, Wu, Yonghui, Burdge, Graham C., Cooper, Cyrus, Inskip, Hazel M., Karnani, Neerja, Hopkins, James C., Childs, Caroline E., Chavez, Carolina Paras, Calder, Philip C., Yap, Fabian, Lee, Yung Seng, Chong, Yap Seng, Melton, Philip E., Beilin, Lawrie, Huang, Rae-Chi, Gluckman, Peter D., Harvey, Nick, Hanson, Mark A., Holbrook, Joanna D., Godfrey, Keith M.

“…Furthermore, CpG methylation enhanced binding to an Estrogen Response Element within the ANRIL promoter. Our findings demonstrate that perinatal methylation at loci relevant to gene function may be a robust marker of later adiposity, providing substantial support for epigenetic processes in mediating long-term consequences of early life environment on human health.…”

Argon-plasma-controlled optical reset in the SiO2/Cu filamentary resistive memory stack by Kawashima, T., Yew, K. S., Kyuno, K., Zhou, Yu, Ang, Diing Shenp, Zhang, H. Z.

“…These vacancies in turn adsorb water molecules, which act as counter anions (OH-) promoting the migration of Cu cations into the oxide and forming a more complete Cu filament that is less responsive to light. The finding points to the prospect of a control over the optical resistance reset effect by a simple surface treatment step.…”

Coating graphene paper with 2D-assembly of electrocatalytic nanoparticles : a modular approach toward high-performance flexible electrodes by Xiao, Fei, Song, Jibin, Gao, Hongcai, Zan, Xiaoli, Xu, Rong, Duan, Hongwei

“…We have shown that the 2D array of gold nanoparticles at oil–water interfaces can be transferred on freestanding graphene oxide paper, leading to a monolayer of densely packed gold nanoparticles of uniform sizes loaded on graphene oxide paper. One major finding is that the postassembly electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide paper restores the ordered structure and electron-transport properties of graphene, and gives rise to robust and biocompatible freestanding electrodes with outstanding electrocatalytic activities, which have been manifested by the sensitive and selective detection of two model analytes: glucose and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) secreted by live cells. …”
