Bond relaxation, electronic and magnetic behavior of 2D metals structures Y on Li(110) surface
We investigated the bond, electronic and magnetic behavior of adsorption
Yttrium atoms on Lithium (110) surface using a combination of
Bond-order-length-strength(BOLS) correlation and density-functional
theory(DFT). We found that adsorption Y atoms on Li(110) surfaces form
two-dimensional (2D) geometric structures of hexagon, nonagon, solid hexagonal,
quadrangle and triangle. The consistent with the magnetic moment are
6.66{\mu}B, 5.54{\mu}B, 0.28{\mu}B, 1.04{\mu}B, 2.81{\mu}B, respectively. In
addition, this work could pave the way for design new 2D metals electronic and
magnetic properties
Electronic structure and bond relaxation at Na/Ta(110) interfaces and 1D-chain and 2D-ring Ta metal structures on Na(110)
We investigated the mechanism of Na/Ta(110) and Ta/Na(110) interfaces using a
combination of bond band barrier (BBB) and zone selective electron spectroscopy
(ZES) correlation. We found that 7/9 ML and 8/9 ML Ta metal on a Na(110)
surface form one dimensional (1D) chain and two dimensional (2D) ring
structures, respectively. Moreover, we show that on Na(110), the Ta-induced
Na(110) surface binding energy (BE) shifts are dominated by quantum entrapment.
On the contrary, on a Ta(110) surface, the Na-induced Ta(110) surface BE shifts
are dominated by polarization. Thus, the BBB and ZES strategy could potentially
be used for designing 1D and 2D metals with desired structures and properties
Group Signatures and Accountable Ring Signatures from Isogeny-based Assumptions
Group signatures are an important cryptographic primitive providing both
anonymity and accountability to signatures. Accountable ring signatures combine
features from both ring signatures and group signatures, and can be directly
transformed to group signatures. While there exists extensive work on
constructing group signatures from various post-quantum assumptions, there has
not been any using isogeny-based assumptions. In this work, we propose the
first construction of isogeny-based group signatures, which is a direct result
of our isogeny-based accountable ring signature. This is also the first
construction of accountable ring signatures based on post-quantum assumptions.
Our schemes are based on the decisional CSIDH assumption (D-CSIDH) and are
proven secure under the random oracle model (ROM)

Treatment-emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer: A clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of 94 cases
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the pathological characteristics, immunophenotype, and prognosis of treatment-emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer (T-NEPC).
Materials and Methods: We collected 231 repeated biopsy specimens of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cases between 2008 and 2019. We used histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations of Synaptophysin (SYN), ChromograninA (CgA), CD56, androgen receptor (AR), and prostate
Results: Among the 231 CRPC cases, 94 (40.7%) cases were T-NEPC. T-NEPC were more likely to present with negative immunohistochemistry for AR (30.9%) and PSA (47.9%) than that of CRPC (8.8% and 17.5%, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with T-NEPC (median overall survival [OS]: 17.6 months, 95% CI: 15.3-19.9 months) had significantly worse survival compared with usual CRPC patients (median OS: 23.6 months, 95% CI: 21.3-25.9 months, log-rank
Conclusion: T-NEPC was associated with an unfavorable prognosis, negative immunohistochemistry for PSA in T-NEPC and serum PSA level ≤ 4 ng/ml had a worse prognosis. Urologists and pathologists should recognize the importance of the second biopsy in CRPC to avoid unnecessary diagnosis and treatment delays
Topological Bonding and Electronic properties of CdTe semiconductor material with microporous structure
CdTe is II-VI semiconductor material with excellent characteristics and has
demonstrated promising potential for application in the photovoltaic field. The
electronic properties of Cd43Te28 with microporous structures have been
investigated based on density functional theory. The newly established
binding-energy and bond-charge model have been used to convert the value of
Hamiltonian into bonding values. We provide a method for describing topological
chemical bonds by atomic coordinates and wave phases. We also discuss the
dynamic process of the wave function with time and the magic cube matrix. This
study provides an innovative method and technology for the accurate analysis of
the topological bonding and electronic properties of microporous semiconductor
