Interconnected TiO2 Nanowire Networks for PbS Quantum Dot Solar Cell Applications by Fan Xu, Jaime Benavides, Xin Ma, Sylvain G. Cloutier

“…Using this interconnected TiO2 nanowire network for electron transport, a PbS/TiO2 heterojunction solar cell with a large short-circuit current of 2.5 mA/cm2, a Voc of 0.6 V, and a power conversion efficiency of 5.4% is achieved under 8.5 mW/cm2 white light illumination. Compared to conventional planar TiO2 film structures, these results suggest superior electron transport properties while still providing the large interfacial area between PbS quantum dots and TiO2 required for efficient exciton dissociation.…”

Outcomes of Infectious versus Sterile Perforated Corneal Ulcers after Therapeutic Penetrating Keratoplasty in the United States by Sloan W. Rush, Ryan B. Rush

“…Patients presenting with sterile perforated ulcers were more likely to have a peripheral perforation location (p=0.0333) and recurrence of the underlying disease condition (p=0.0321), require adjunctive surgical measures in the immediate postoperative period (p<0.0001), have reperforation after keratoplasty (p=0.0079), have worse best corrected visual acuity (p=0.0130), develop no light perception vision (p=0.0053), and require enucleation/evisceration (p=0.0252) when compared to the infectious perforated ulcer group. …”

Surveillance, Phagocytosis, and Inflammation: How Never-Resting Microglia Influence Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Amanda Sierra, Sol Beccari, Irune Diaz-Aparicio, Juan M. Encinas, Samuel Comeau, Marie-Ève Tremblay

“…In the last few years, however, this classical view of microglia was challenged by a series of discoveries showing their active and positive contribution to normal brain functions. In light of these discoveries, surveillant microglia are now emerging as an important effector of cellular plasticity in the healthy brain, alongside astrocytes and other types of inflammatory cells. …”
