We aimed to compare the survival benefit of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with
conservative treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal …

Soil contaminated with heavy metals cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) is hard to be remediated.
Phytoremediation may be a feasible method to remove toxic metals from soil, but there are …

Four three-dimensionally architectured molecules 1a−d with spiro-annulated structural
features were facilely developed. 1a and 1b form uniform and amorphous films via spin-coating …

The orchid family Orchidaceae is one of the largest angiosperm families, including many
species of important economic value. While chloroplast genomes are very informative for …

The time evolution of the quantum mechanical state of an electron is calculated in the
framework of the effective-mass envelope function theory for an InAs/GaAs quantum dot. The …

Quantum repeaters are critical components for distributing entanglement over long distances
in presence of unavoidable optical losses during transmission. Stimulated by the Duan–…

Single self-assembled InAs / GaAs quantum dots are a promising solid-state quantum
technology, with which vacuum Rabi splitting, single-photon-level nonlinearities, and bright, pure, …

Temperature and concentration distributions are essential parameters for understanding
physicochemical processes in the in-cylinder/in-chamber engine and developing efficient …

Considering the abuse of antibiotics worldwide, we investigated the abundance of three
classes of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the concentrations of corresponding …

Smart machining has tremendous potential and is becoming one of new generation high
value precision manufacturing technologies in line with the advance of Industry 4.0 concepts. …
