Abstract:
... Precise quantification of vascular developments in Zebrafish requires continuous in-vivo 3D imaging. Here we employed a bi-directional light-sheet illumination microscope to characterize the development process of Zebrafish’s intersegmental vessels. A Virtual Reality-based method was used to measure the lengths of intersegmental vessels (ISVs). The quantified growth rates of typical ISVs can be pl ...

Abstract:
... High-performance broadband photodetectors that can operate at UV, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths have been fabricated based on CsPb(Br/I)₃ nanocrystal (NC)/CdS-microwire (MW) heterostructures. Under an incident light illumination of 365, 530, and 660 nm, the CsPb(Br/I)₃-NC/CdS-MW-heterostructure-based photodetector exhibited a superior photosensitivity and broader spectral response than th ...

Abstract:
... We investigated the relationship between lunar illumination based on the percentage of the visible lunar disk (LDP) and the frequency of wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) in Lithuania. We analyzed WVC frequency during ten 10% LDP intervals to more precisely reflect the relationship between LDP and WVC. The 10% LDP interval approach showed a significant trend of increasing WVC frequencies with an ...

Abstract:
... A novel core/shell C-TiO₂/CoTiO₃ type II heterojunction was successfully synthesized via a direct calcination method by using MIL-125/Co core-shell nanocakes as a sacrificial template and precursor. In the calcination process, the organic ligand in MIL-125 acts as an in-situ carbon doping source to form a carbon-doped TiO₂ core (C-TiO₂). At the same time, CoTiO₃ nanoparticles are formed on the sur ...
