Assessment of local sensitivity in incomplete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA) lesions in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD) by Frank G Holz, Marlene Saßmannshausen, Thomas Ach, Leon von der Emde, Julius Ameln, Alessandra Carmichael-Martins, Wolf M Harmening

“…However, the corresponding functional impact of these precursor lesions is unknown and needs to be established.Methods and analysis We present a cross-sectional study of four patients with intermediate AMD employing clinical-grade MAIA (stimulus size: 0.43°, ~125 µm) and adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope (AOSLO, stimulus size 0.07°, ~20 µm) based microperimetry (MP) to assess the specific impact of iRORA lesions on retinal sensitivity.Results AOSLO imaging showed overall reduced photoreceptor reflectivity and patches of hyporeflective regions at drusen with interspersed hyperreflective foci in iRORA regions. …”

Melatonin and Angelman Syndrome: Implications and Mathematical Model of Diurnal Secretion by Justyna Paprocka, Marek Kijonka, Piotr Wojcieszek, Marcin Pęcka, Ewa Emich-Widera, Maria Sokół

“…The characteristics describing the diurnal hormone secretion such as minimum melatonin concentration, release amplitude, phase shift of melatonin release, and sleep duration as well as the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) of melatonin secretion and the γ shape parameter allow analyzing the fit and deducing about how much the measured melatonin profile differs from a physiological bell-shaped secretion. …”

Bundle sheath cell-dependent chloroplast movement in mesophyll cells of C4 plants analyzed using live leaf-section imaging by Yuta Kato, Takao Oi, Yoshikatsu Sato, Mitsutaka Taniguchi

“…One major challenge to resolve this is the difficulty in observing chloroplast movement due to scattering and absorption of observation light in live-leaf tissues. We established a live leaf-section imaging technique that enables the long-term observation of sections of chemically unfixed leaf blades, with which we quantitatively analyzed M chloroplast movements. …”

A Suitable Polysulfide Electrolyte for CdSe Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells by H. K. Jun, M. A. Careem, A. K. Arof

“…The QDSSC with CdSe sensitized electrode prepared using 7 cycles of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) produces an efficiency of 1.41% with a fill factor of 44% on using a polysulfide electrolyte of 0.5 M Na2S, 0.1 M S, and 0.05 M GuSCN in ethanol/water (8 : 2 by volume) under the illumination of 100 mW/cm2 white light. Inclusion of small amount of TiO2 nanoparticles into the electrolyte helps to stabilize the polysulfide electrolyte and thereby improve the stability of the CdSe QDSSC. …”
