We report the first successful synthesis of 40 μm thick h-BN wafers with a diameter of 6 in. using hydride vapor phase epitaxy. This accomplishment was made possible by employing BCl3 as the B precursor to eliminate carbon impurities, utilizing inert N2 as the carrier and separation gas to isolate B...

Algal blooms constitute an emerging threat to global inland water quality. As one of the biggest lake and important water resource in the world, Lake Victoria is facing recurrent proliferation of water hyacinth and cyanobacteria. To better manage and improve water resources, the spatiotemporal distr...

Introduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) recurs frequently in kidney transplants, although the reported frequency of recurrence varies because many studies do not distinguish recurrent IgAN from IgAN occurring de novo in the allograft. In addition, there are only limited studies of graft outcomes in pat...

The parasitic interaction between ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) waves and the edge plasma has long limited high-power ICRF utilization in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. In this paper, we report on the successful mitigation of this interaction by power tapering a four-strap field-a...

Precise measurement of ileal amino acid digestibility in feed ingredients is vital for optimising sows’ nutrient requirements and feed utilisation. We hypothesised that the ileal amino acid digestibility of feed ingredients for swine, which usually are determined in growing pigs, may not accurately...

Background/Purpose: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that disrupts oral microbial homeostasis and contributes to systemic inflammation. While previous studies have focused on subgingival microbiota, the role of supragingival plaque as an early microbial reservoir remains underexplored...

Background: Few studies have compared the risk of reoperation by timing in breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. We evaluated the first and total number of reoperations by reconstruction timing in women with breast cancer undergoing primary mastectomy. Methods: A cohort study of 23,301 pri...

Background Wall shear stress (WSS) is an established predictor of coronary atherosclerosis progression. Prior studies have reported that high WSS has been associated with high‐risk atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (APCs). WSS and APCs are quantifiable by coronary computed tomography angiograph...

Background. Despite treatment of major risk factors such as acute rejection (AR) and organizing pneumonia (OP) in lung transplant recipients, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) still develops at high rates, suggesting that traditional methods of assessing response to treatment and resolution...
