The polarization switching dynamics for Hf 1-x Zr x O 2 (HZO) integrated on InAs is studied as a function of pulse width and amplitude. Due to a mixed ferroelectric/antiferroelectric phase at x=0.8, a more gradual total polarization update is shown compared to a fully ferroelectric Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 stack. A lowered operating voltage is achieved in Hf 0.2 Zr 0.8 O 2 by activating an inner ferroele
Background and ObjectivesWhile chronological age is one of the most influential determinants of poststroke outcomes, little is known of the impact of neuroimaging-derived biological "brain age."We hypothesized that radiomics analyses of T2-FLAIR images texture would provide brain age estimates and that advanced brain age of patients with stroke will be associated with cardiovascular risk factors a
Oxide defects in the high-k/InGaAs MOS system are investigated. The behaviour of these traps is explored from room temperature down to 10 K. This study reveals that the exchange of free carriers between oxide states and either the conduction or the valence band is strongly temperature dependant. The capture and emission of electrons is strongly suppressed at 10 K as demonstrated by the collapse of
In the era of stem cell research and regenerative medicine, understanding the regulatory networks that drive cellular reprogramming is fundamental. The study entitled ‘‘Cross-lineage potential of Ascl1 uncovered by comparing diverse reprogramming regulatomes’’ published in Stem Cell Reports sheds light on the remarkable versatility of Ascl1, a transcription factor known for its pivotal role in neu
Ge and Si semiconductor nanoparticles encapsulated in oxide layers were prepared by the inert gas condensation method. High-resolution electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry showed the formation of the core-shell structures with a size below 10 nm. The optical absorption spectra of Ge showed the band edges at higher energy compared to the ordinary Ge element. Photoluminescenc
Background Randomized trials of venetoclax plus anti-CD20 antibodies as first-line treatment in fit patients (i.e., those with a low burden of coexisting conditions) with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been lacking. Methods In a phase 3, open-label trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, fit patients with CLL who did not have TP53 aberrations to receive six cycles of che
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an ubiquitous tool of great interest in many fields of research from imaging to ultrafast spectroscopy [1]. In its most common implementation, an intense (≈ 1014 W/cm2) infrared (IR) pulse is focused on a noble gas target yielding a train of attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral region. By adopting proper strategies and target geometrie
Combining highly efficient nanophotonic structures into artificial neural networks hold significant promise for superior hardware solutions [1]. Well-defined circuit architectures and concepts, with limited size and clear functionality are useful to develop and verify such novel concepts. Insects are capable of amazing autonomous feats well beyond current computers, such as navigating across hundr
Immunological control of residual leukemia cells is thought to occur in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that maintain treatment-free remission (TFR) following tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discontinuation. To study this, we analyzed 55 single-cell RNA and T cell receptor (TCR) sequenced samples (scRNA+TCRαβ-seq) from patients with CML (n = 13, N = 25), other cancers (n = 28), and he
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy syndrome characterized by hypertension and organ damage manifesting after 20 gestational weeks. The etiology is of multifactorial origin, where placental stress causes increased levels of placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (STBEVs) in the maternal circulation, shown to cause inflammation, endothelial activation, vasoconstriction, and anti-angiogenic activity.
Limited research has assessed whether sports participation can be linked to decreasing risky sexual behavior among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The current study aimed to assess whether participation in a football league that provides sexual and reproductive health and rights lessons before each football match strengthened adolescent Zambian girls’ sexual health knowledge, attitudes, an
Telomere biology disorders (TBDs) are characterized by short telomeres, premature aging, bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition. Germline mutations in NHP2, encoding for one component of the telomerase cofactor H/ACA RNA binding complex together with Dyskerin, NOP10 and GAR1, have been previously reported in rare cases of TBDs. Here, we report two novel NHP2 variants (NHP2-A39T and NHP2-T44
Purpose (the aim of the study): There is limited evidence on psychometric properties of EQ-5D-5L among people with osteoarthritis (OA) undertaking non-surgical treatment. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L among individuals with knee or hip OA participating in a digitally delivered education and exercise therapy.Methods: Secondary analysis of
SAMD9 and SAMD9L are two interferon-regulated genes located adjacent to each other on chromosome 7q21.2. Germline gain-of-function (GL GOF) mutations in SAMD9/SAMD9L are the genetic cause of MIRAGE syndrome, ataxia-pancytopenia (ATXPC) syndrome, myeloid leukemia syndrome with monosomy 7 (MLSM7), refractory cytopenia of childhood (RCC), transient monosomy 7 in children, SAMD9L-associated autoinflam
Effect of tempering temperature on the composition of the passive film of a martensitic tool alloy was studied by synchrotron-based hard/soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical analyses. The contents of Cr and Mo in the passive film are affected by precipitation of tempering carbides. Increase of tempering temperature from 200 to 525°C leads to enhanced formation of Cr/Mo-rich te
Background: One of the most profound transitions in healthcare trajectories is when a person turns 18 years old and transfers from child to adult healthcare.Methods: We included all children and adolescents living in Skåne in 2014 and turning 18 years old during the study period. The ID cohort (n=2 072) comprised those with diagnosis of ID and/or service and support for people with ID, and the gen
Different approaches have been used for translation of the EAT–Lancet reference diet into dietary scores that can be used to assess health and environmental impact. Our aim was to compare the different EAT–Lancet diet scores, and to estimate their associations with all-cause mortality, stroke incidence, and greenhouse gas emissions. We did a systematic review (PROSPERO, CRD42021286597) to identify
