This improved parameterization may open the door to accurate MD simulations at the DFTB level of theory for large systems containing iron complexes, such as sensitizer-semiconductor assemblies in dye-sensitized solar cells, that are not easily accessible with DFT approaches because of the large number of atoms.The initial drug release from in situ…[Read more]

The impact of hydrocarbon-molecular (C3H6)-ion implantation in an epitaxial layer, which has low oxygen concentration, on the dark characteristics of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor pixels was investigated by dark current spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that white spot defects of CMOS image sensor pixels when using a…[Read more]

Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are proteinaceous organelles consisting of a metabolic pathway encapsulated within a selectively permeable protein shell. Hundreds of species of bacteria produce MCPs of at least nine different types, and MCP metabolism is associated with enteric pathogenesis, cancer, and heart disease. This review focuses…[Read more]
