Influence of suppressed blistering by heavy ion pre-damage on deuterium retention in tungsten by Ting Wang, Yue Yuan, Xiu-Li Zhu, Wangguo Guo, Jipeng Zhu, Shiwei Wang, Long Cheng, Guang-Hong Lu

“…While in the high-fluence case (3 × 1025 D m−2), the enhancement effect of D retention in Fe-damaged W is significantly weakened, such that retention is lower for damaged W, probably due to the significant suppression effect on surface blistering and its accompanying defect formation. …”

Achieving low-temperature Cu–Cu bonding platform via area-selective metal films with superior surface roughness for advanced packaging by Mu-Ping Hsu, Chi-Yu Chen, Hsin-Chi Chang, Kuan-Neng Chen

“…This study addresses the critical challenge of achieving low-temperature Cu–Cu bonding for advanced packaging applications by optimizing area-selective electroless Au passivation. We demonstrate that an Ar/N2 plasma pretreatment, applied prior to Au deposition, substantially strips oxides, renders the Cu surface amorphous and highly hydrophilic, and thus suppresses grain-boundary-selective Au displacement to form a smooth, continuous passivation layer. …”

A Dielectric-Loaded FSS-Based Radome Design With an Adjustable RCS Reduction Band by Yuan-Chang Hou, Sang-Fei Wang, Wen-Jiao Liao

“…This paper presents a hybrid radome panel that features a controllable radar cross section (RCS) reduction band. To achieve RCS suppression, the structure combines periodic frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) and dielectric loadings of different compositions, which leads to wave cancellation due to propagation delays of opposite phases. …”

Effect of bioactive agent glucose molecules on coal dust wettability by LI Nannan, LIANG Zidong, KONG Shaoqi, LI Kunjie

“…Rational use of appropriate dust suppressants could effectively mitigate the impact of respirable coal dust on the health of coal miners.Biosurfactants have become increasingly important in the study of coal dust suppression in underground confined environments owing to their biodegradability, low toxicity, and stability.With lignite from the Shendong Bulianta Coal Mine as the research object, this study selected 2 surfactants with different numbers of glucose molecules, n-Dodecyl β-D-maltoside (DDM) and Alkyl Polyglucoside 1214 (APG1214) to investigate the effect of the number of glucose molecules on the wettability of coal dust by combining experimental and simulation methods.Results show that 1) DDM exhibited better wettability performance on Bulianta lignite, with a contact angle value of only 20.1° and a wetting dynamics model diffusion and penetration constant K value of 0.76858, indicating optimal wetting effect; 2) DDM further enhanced the pore structure and specific surface area of coal dust, showing a stronger aggregation effect on coal dust particles from FTIR, XPS, BET, and SEM tests; 3) The increase in hydroxyl functional groups and the proportion of oxygen elements also indicated a significantly enhanced adsorption capacity of DDM on the Bulianta coal surface; 4) Molecular dynamics modeling revealed that the larger number of glucose molecules in DDM surfactant facilitated the formation of stronger hydrophobic interactions with the coal surface, thereby attracting more water molecules to adsorb on the modified coal surface.The resulting hydrogen bonds could improve coal dust wettability.…”

Transfection of unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide with polyethylenimine reduces the level of hepatitis B surface antigen by Junyu Lin, Jing Li

“…IntroductionThe delivery of nucleic acid into cells using polyethylenimine (PEI) as non-viral carrier is a potential candidate technique for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.MethodsIn the present study, PEI was used as cationic polymers and transfected with unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides in cell cultures and the BALB/c mouse model to investigate its efficiency in blocking HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) secretion.Results and discussionPEI/oligonucleotide complexes selectively inhibited HBsAg secretion in the culture supernatant, while there were no evident alterations in HBeAg and HBV DNA levels, thereby suggesting its potential inhibitory activity against the production of HBsAg. …”
