Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence Diagnosed Late in the Third Trimester: A Case Report and Literature Review by Tafese Dejene, Abdi Kebede, Getahun Fetensa, Delayehu Bekele, Telila Mesfin, Kelil Hussen

“…The goal of managing pregnancies complicated by the TRAP sequence is to deliver a healthy, near‐term pump twin through early detection, timely intervention, and continuous follow‐up. However, in low‐resource settings, such as the case presented here, the condition may progress undiagnosed into the third trimester due to a lack of experienced physicians and/or obstetric ultrasound scans. …”

Electrochemical Characterization of Nanoporous Nickel Oxide Thin Films Spray-Deposited onto Indium-Doped Tin Oxide for Solar Conversion Scopes by Muhammad Awais, Denis P. Dowling, Franco Decker, Danilo Dini

“…The electrochemical characterization showed that NiOx electrodes possess large surface area (about 1000 times larger than their geometrical area). Due to the openness of the NiOx morphology, the underlying conductive substrate can be contacted by the electrolyte and undergo redox processes within the potential range in which NiOx is electroactive. …”

Comparisons of Energetic Electron Observations Between FIREBIRD‐II CubeSats and POES/MetOp Satellites From 2018 to 2020 by I. M. Householder, K. A. Duderstadt, J. M. Pettit, A. T. Johnson, C.‐L. Huang, A. B. Crew, D. M. Klumpar, T. Raeder, J. G. Sample, M. Shumko, S. S. Smith, H. E. Spence

“…The analysis considers 51 high quality conjunction events at >300 keV during times of low to moderate geomagnetic activity. The spacecraft capture similar electron flux variability, and FIREBIRD‐II observations fall between POES/MetOp 0° and 90° telescopes, likely a result of FIREBIRD‐II sampling both precipitating and mirrored electrons due to uncertainties in pointing direction. …”

Enhancing thermoelectric properties of ScN films through twin domains by J. More-Chevalier, U.D. Wdowik, J. Martan, T. Baba, S. Cichoň, P. Levinský, D. Legut, E. de Prado, P. Hruška, J. Pokorný, J. Bulíř, C. Beltrami, T. Mori, M. Novotný, I. Gregora, L. Fekete, L. Volfová, J. Lančok

“…We find that the ScN/MgO(001) layers with twin-domain structure reveal enhanced thermoelectric properties at elevated temperature as compared to those measured for almost defect- and domain-free layers, namely, enlarged Seebeck coefficient by about 30% and over two and a half times increased figure of merit at 800 K. Therefore, structural twin domains in thin ScN film appear to be a simple and rather stable solution for the improvement of its thermoelectric properties at elevated temperatures.…”
