High Performance Durable Vanadium Dioxide Spectral Selective Modulation Smart Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Crystallinity‐enhanced VO2 nanoparticles with a self‐limited amorphous oxidation shell achieve an order of magnitude durability improvement and high spectral selective modulation performance (luminous transmittance of 28.5%, solar modulation of 10.5%, and mid‐infrared emissivity modulation of 0.5) for smart windows.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Impinging Shock Wave/Transitional Boundary Layer Interaction with Separation Flow

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2011
The interaction of a spatially transitional boundary layer flow at freestream Mach number M = 2.0 with an impinging oblique shock wave (β = 35.56) is studied by means of direct numerical simulation (DNS).

COVID-19-Associated Mucormycosis: An Opportunistic Fungal Infection. A Case Series and Review

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background: A surge in COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases has been observed during the second wave of COVID-19 in summer of 2021. Most cases were reported from India. The Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was the most common variant circulating at that time.

Enhanced Tantalum Superconducting Resonator Performance via All‐Surface Organic Monolayer Passivation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The internal quality factor of tantalum superconducting resonators is significantly increased by ∼140% in the low photon regime by passivating their surfaces with a high‐quality alkene self‐assembled monolayer. Our methodology promises to enhance the performance of superconducting quantum circuits.

All-cause excess mortality across 90 municipalities in Gujarat, India, during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020-April 2021)

PLOS Global Public Health, 2022
Official COVID-19 mortality statistics are strongly influenced by local diagnostic capacity, strength of the healthcare and vital registration systems, and death certification criteria and capacity, often resulting in significant undercounting of COVID ...

Awakening from post anoxic coma with burst suppression with identical bursts

Resuscitation Plus, 2021
Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is commonly used after cardiac arrest. Burst suppression with identical bursts (BSIB) has been reported as a perfectly specific predictor of poor outcome but published case series are small.

Controlling Radiative Phonons in the van der Waals Ferroelectric NbOI2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Using a simple mirror geometry, this work demonstrates local‐density‐of‐optical‐states control of THz phonon emission in van der Waals ferroelectric NbOI2. By engineering the photonic environment, the phonon Q‐factor, linewidth, peak frequency, and emission intensity are reversibly tuned by over an order of magnitude, revealing radiative phonons as ...
