Tuning electronic structure and carrier transport properties through crystal orientation control in two-dimensional Dion-Jacobson phase perovskites by Byunggeol Kim, Jeehong Park, Donghee Kang, Na Eun Jung, Kitae Kim, Hongsun Ryu, Joon Ik Jang, Soohyung Park, Yeonjin Yi

“…This work presents a rational strategy to control parallel and perpendicular crystal growth in C6N2H16PbI4 (4AMPPbI4)-based DJ phase perovskite thin films. We demonstrate that crystal orientation depends on crystal growth rates, which can be controlled by varying the solvent composition, antisolvent, and annealing temperature. …”

Retrospective and Prospective Investigations about “Quatrefoil” Erythrocytes in Canine Blood Smears by Alessandra Gavazza, Marianna Ricci, Martina Brettoni, Biancaurora Gugliucci, Anna Pasquini, Daniela Rispoli, Nicola Bernabò, George Lubas

“…Statistical analysis was significant for age groups (Chi squared, P<0.0001), decreased total leukocyte and neutrophil counts (ANOVA, P<0.0001), RBCs anisocytosis, polychromasia, and Howell-Jolly bodies (ANOVA, P<0.018, <0.005, and <0.003, respectively). qRBCs were distributed in the area of feathered edge and at the smear side of body-feathered edge area in blood films. SEM ruled out the possibility of an optical illusion or an accidental overlap. qRBCs are associated with ageing of dogs, total leukocyte and neutrophil counts, and RBC anisocytosis, polychromasia, and Howell-Jolly bodies. …”
