The effects of surface recombination on the steady-state carrier profiles and photocurrent in perovskite solar cells are investigated in this paper. The continuity equations for both holes and electrons are solved considering carrier drift and diffusion under the exponential carrier generation profile in the perovskite layer and considering both bulk and ...

Microglial cells, or brain immune cells, are highly dynamic and continuously migrate in pathophysiological conditions. Their adhesion, as a physical characteristic, plays a key role in migration. In this study, we presented a microfluidic chip combination of two assays: a microglial BV2 adhesion assay and a wound-healing migration assay. The chip could cr ...

A dual-band (K-/Ka-band) antenna array is presented. An ultra-wideband antenna element in the shape of a double-ridged waveguide is used as a radiation slot, and a novel dual-periodic ridge gap waveguide (RGW) with an interdigital-pin bed of nails (serving as a filter) is used to realize dual-band operation. By periodically arranging the pins of two diffe ...

We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions during Run 1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CMS experiment was exposed to 184.07 µb^{-1} of Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV center-of-mass energy per collision in Dece ...

Mental contamination refers to feelings of dirtiness and/or urges to wash that arise without direct contact with a contaminant. Cognitive models propose that this results from "serious, negative misappraisals of perceived violations". However, the specific violation misappraisals most relevant to mental contamination have yet to be established empirically ...

Background and objectives: Coordination of governmental action is crowded with policies and programs that are highly interdependent, sometimes operating in silos if not contradicting each other. These dilemmas, or administrative quagmires, are heightened for older adults in general, but they are ...

Because the offspring of parents with an affective disorder (OAD) are at high risk for developing mental disorders, and persons with an affective disorder (AD) show dysfunctional hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, changes in HPA functioning in OAD might be an etiological risk factor that precedes the development of ADs. The primary aim of ...

Cellular trafficking between organelles is typically assured by short motifs that contact carrier proteins to transport them to their destination. Ubiquitin E3 ligase RING finger protein 13 (RNF13), a regulator of proliferation, apoptosis, and protein trafficking, localizes to endolysosomal compartments through the binding of a dileucine motif to clathrin ...

Pollutants in soil, particularly chromium (Cr), pose high environmental and health risks due to their persistence, bioavailability, and potential for causing toxicity. Cr impairment in plants act as a deleterious environmental pollutant that enters the food chain and eventually disturbs human health. Current study demonstrated the potential of integrative ...

Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO; removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes) prior to age 48 is associated with elevated risk for both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea. In early midlife, individuals with BSO show reduced hippocampal volume, functi ...

The search methods used in systematic reviews provide the foundation for establishing the body of literature from which conclusions are drawn and recommendations made. Searches should aim to be comprehensive and reporting of search methods should be transparent and reproducible. Campbell Collaboration systematic reviews strive to adhere to the best method ...
