Impact of molecular linker size on physicochemical properties of assembled gold nanoparticle mono-/multi-layers and their applicability for functional binding of biomolecules by Krikstolaityte, Vida, Hamit-Eminovski, Jildiz, Abariute, Laura, Niaura, Gediminas, Meskys, Rolandas, Arnebrant, Thomas, Lisak, Grzegorz, Ruzgas, Tautgirdas

“…These characteristics are of great importance for functional binding of biomolecules. Positively charged high or low molecular weight inter-linkers, poly-L-lysine (PLL) or N-(6-mercapto)hexylpyridinium (MHP), were used to attach negatively charged AuNPs on a planar gold surface as well as to further interlink into a multilayer structure via layer-by-layer deposition. …”

Dual attention deep learning network for automatic steel surface defect segmentation by Pan, Yue, Zhang, Limao

“…For another, the popular DeepLabv3+ in an encoder-decoder architecture is useful in capturing multi-scale contextual information and sharp object boundaries. The DAN-DeepLabv3+ is applied to an available dataset containing 6666 images, where three types of steel defects are taken by high-frequency cameras and have been annotated manually. …”

Optical characteristics of p-type GaAs-based semiconductors towards applications in photoemission infrared detectors by Lao, Y. F., Perera, A. G. U., Wang, H. L., Zhao, J. H., Jin, Y. J., Zhang, Dao Hua

“…However, the forbidden SO-HH transition at the Γ point (corresponding to a transition energy Δ0, which is the split-off gap between the HH and SO bands) creates a sharp drop around 3.6 μm in the spectral response of p-type GaAs/AlGaAs detectors. …”

A structure-function study of the TWIK-1 K2P channel by Abd-Wahab, MF

“…Using scanning mutagenesis and electrophysiological measurements, a trio of positively-charged residues (K274/R277/K278) that faces the inner pore were identified as playing an important role in the functional expression of TWIK-1 currents by influencing the electrostatic charges at the intracellular pore mouth of TWIK-1. …”

Ecological forces affecting microbial eukaryotes in the coastal ocean by Gomez, Annika L.

“…Diversity and structure of populations is indicative of viral ecology, with large networks of overlapping viruses and hosts suggestive of broad host range of some viruses while sharp population boundaries suggest viruses with narrow host ranges. …”

Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…High amplitude oscillation is characterized by a gradual contraction of contact line and followed by a steep and sharp expansion. Closer inspection shows that the expansion of droplet contact line causes the strong expulsion of bulk fluid into the submersed section causing abrupt and unstable flow transition. …”

Efficiency enhancement and doping type inversion in Cu₂CdSnS₄ solar cells by Ag substitution by Ibrahim, Ahmad, Lie, Stener, Tan, Joel Ming Rui, Swope, Ryan, Medaille, Axel Gon, Hadke, Shreyash, Saucedo, Edgardo, Agrawal, Rakesh, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Doping type inversion was observed for pure n-type Ag2CdSnS4 instead of the p-type of Cu2CdSnS4, accompanied by high carrier mobility and sharp absorption onset. Further optoelectronic and photovoltaic characterization reveals that adding 5% Ag concentration improves Cu2CdSnS4 device performance to 7.72%, mainly due to superior film quality and improved interface properties. …”
