    This work develops the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin equation theory to investigate, for the first time, the glassy dynamics in capped metallic glass thin films. Finite-size effects on the spatial gradient of structural relaxation time and glass transition temperature (Tg) are calculated at different temperatures and vitrification criteria. Molecular dynamics is significantly slowed down near rough solid surfaces, and the dynamics at location far from the interfaces is sped up. In thick films, the mobility gradient normalized by the bulk value obeys the double-exponential form since interference effects between two surfaces are weak. Reducing the film thickness induces a strong dynamic coupling between two surfaces and flattens the relaxation gradient. The normalized gra...

    Phát hiện các tế bào ung thư tuần hoàn (CTCs) đã nổi lên như một giải pháp hấp dẫn trong nhận diện sớm ung thư. Thông thường, các tế bào CTCs, cũng như các tế bào ung thư khác có kích thước lớn hơn các tế bào bình thường. Nghiên cứu này trình bày các khảo sát số của một kênh vi lưu liên tục kết hợp phương pháp bất điện di (DEP) trong việc phân tách CTCs. Các điều kiện thích hợp của điện trường kích thích và lưu lượng dòng chảy trong vi kênh đã được áp dụng để cách ly hiệu quả các tế bào CTCs khỏi các tế bào bình thường trong mẫu máu. Hiệu suất của quá trình phân tách CTCs được đánh giá thông qua quan sát các quỹ đạo dịch chuyển tế bào. Một số thiết kế vi kênh cũng được xem xét để tìm kiếm cấu hình tối ưu. Các kết quả đã chứng tỏ rằng, các tế bào CTCs có thể phân tách khỏi các tế bào...

    Vacancies are prevalent point defects in crystals, but their thermal responses are elusive. Herein, we formulate a simple theoretical model to shed light on the vacancy evolution during heating. Vibrational excitations are thoroughly investigated via moment recurrence techniques in quantum statistical mechanics. On that basis, we carry out numerical analyses for Ag, Cu, and Ni with the Sutton–Chen many-body potential. Our results reveal that the well-known Arrhenius law is insufficient to describe the proliferation of vacancies. Specifically, anharmonic effects lead to a strong nonlinearity in the Gibbs energy of vacancy formation. Our physical picture is well supported by previous simulations and experiments

    Vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to COVID-19 vaccination programs. This study aimed to examine the public attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines, the variance of these attitudes, and associated determinants within a large COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam.

    There are usually trade-offs between maximizing the color saturation and brightness and minimizing the angle-dependent effect in structural colors. Here, a magnetic field-induced assembly for the rapid formation of scalable, uniform amorphous photonic arrays (APAs) featuring unique structural colors is demonstrated. The magnetic field plays a fundamental role in photonic film formation, making this assembly technology versatile for developing structural color patterns on arbitrary substrates. The synergistic combination of surface plasmonic resonance of the Ag core and broadband light absorption of high refractive index (RI) Fe3O4 shell in hybrid magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles (MagPlas NPs) enables breaking the trade-offs to produce brilliant, noniridescent structural colors with hi...

    The objective of this review is to evaluate the anti-dementia activities of saffron and its combination with Kampo medicine. The Kampo formula Kamiuntanto composed of 13 crude drugs is well known for its anti-dementia activity. A significant increase in choline acetyltransferase activity and mRNA levels were observed. Polygala radix was identified as the most essential component drug in Kamiuntanto, probably due to the saponins, tenuifolin, and sinapinic acid. Ginseng was also identified as an essential Kamiuntanto component in terms of its synergistic functions with Polygala radix. Saffron, which was recommended in the Bencao Gangmu for memory and dementia, and is used as an anti-spasmodic, anti-catarrhal, and sedative herbal drug. Saffron and its major constituent, crocin were sho...

    The molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the mechanical behaviors of amorphous silicon nitride under the uniaxial tensile deformation. The amorphous silicon nitride was obtained by the cooling process. The network structure of the sample consists of SiNx (x = 3, 4 and 5) units and NSiy (y = 2, 3 and 4) linkages. The stress-strain curve of the sample exhibits the elastic and plastic deformation. The Si-N bond lengths are stretched out in the elastic region and the plastic region I. They are shrunk to the initial state in the plastic region II due to the appearance of the large clusters which contain the overlapping big simplexes with the RS ≥ 2.4 Å. These big simplexes tend to appear at the shear transformation zones in the elastic region. These shear t...
