Optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) is a non-invasive, label-free method of in vivo imaging with microscopic and high optical contrast. Based on intrinsic contrasts, OR-PAM has expanded to include vessel imaging, flow cytometry, physiological parameter analysis, single-cell characterization. However, since conventional systems have fixed tabletop configuration, large system size, slow speed, their use preclinical clinical studies remains limited. In this study, using...

Abstract Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), a promising microscopic imaging technique with high ultrasound resolution and superior optical sensitivity, can provide anatomical, functional, molecular information at scales ranging from the microvasculature to single red blood cells. In particular, real-time OR-PAM signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is prerequisite for widespread use in preclinical clinical applications. Although several technical approaches have been pursued...

Artificial intelligence has emerged as a technology that is profoundly reshaping society and enabling rapid improvements in science, engineering, mathematics, well information itself. This generated increased demand for fostering an AI-literate populace growing recognition of the importance promoting K-12 students’ awareness interest AI. Although efforts are be-ginning to incorporate AI learning within education, there little research exploring how introduce students support teachers...

A comparative study is made on the surface film formation high-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 positive electrode at elevated temperature (55°C) in two different electrolytes; LiPF6/organic carbonate and LiTFSI/ionic liquid (propylmethylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, PMPyr-TFSI). The derived by a decomposition of former electrolyte enriched inorganic fluorinated species, which becomes thicker with cycling to lead continued polarization cell failure. In contrast, organic carbon...

Human cerebral organoids serve as a quintessential model for deciphering the complexities of brain development in three-dimensional milieu. However, imaging these organoids, particularly when they exceed several millimeters size, has been curtailed by technical impediments such phototoxicity, slow speeds, and inadequate resolution depth. Addressing pivotal challenges, our study pioneered high-speed scanning microscope, synergistically coupled with advanced computational image processing....

Educational games offer significant potential for supporting personalized learning in engaging virtual worlds. However, many educational do not provide adaptive gameplay to meet the needs of individual students. To address this issue, should include game levels that can self-adjust specific creating a large number adaptable requires considerable effort by developers. A promising solution problem is leverage procedural content generation automatically generate incorporate desired objectives....

Recent years have seen increasing awareness of the need for all students in primary and secondary education to learn computer science (CS) concepts skills. Educational games hold significant potential serve as a platform CS because they integrate engaging problem solving with effective pedagogical strategies. This is especially high narrative-centered educational that embed learning activities within rich interactive stories. In this paper, we present an game featuring block-based...

Collaborative game-based learning environments offer significant promise for creating engaging group experiences. Online chat plays a pivotal role in these by providing students with means to freely communicate during problem solving. These chat-based discussions and negotiations support the coordination of students' in-game activities. However, this freedom expression comes possibility that some might engage undesirable communicative behavior. A key challenge posed collaborative is how...

In this paper we present a new technique that produces reliable flexible sensors using self-repairing interconnects. Instead of conventional serpentine metal film interconnects, the flex sensor uses liquid GaInSn-filled microfluidic channels formed on top thin Au wires. The free-flowing, low-resistivity GaInSn thus shunts wire resistance forming an electrical bridge whenever break in appears. We implemented flexible, ground reaction cluster liquid-metal scheme. array maps contact forces...

In this paper, we developed a method of fabricating polymer microstructures at various angles on single substrate via synchrotron X-ray lithography coupled with simple dimensional transformations. Earlier efforts to create three-dimensional (3D) features flat substrates focused the exposure technology, material properties, and light sources. A few research groups have sought curved substrates. We created tilted by simply deforming from 3D two-dimensional (2D). The microstructural inclination...

Although oil–water separation technology via wettability-controlled membranes has emerged as a promising to treat oily wastewater, membrane fouling by faulents such sludge flocs and colloids, the consequent clogging of pores, severely degrades efficiency filtration systems. One main promotors is oil fouling, which also form itself. Despite considerable practical academic interest in analysis oil-fouled membranes, direct visualization entire process infiltration into hydrophilic still...
