Making Art Involve in the Paradigm of Ecological Landscape Construction in Ancient Villages—Taking Cai Fan and Longtan Ancient Village in Taihu as an Example
The ancient residences of Cai fan Ancient Village and Longtan Village in Taihu County of Anqing City are historical and traditional villages with common regional cultural background. They have strong cultural characteristics of Huizhou and foreign architectural features. The overall architectural style of the ancient villages in Anqing area is combined with the topography, landforms and landscapes of the area where it is located, forming a unique architectural style. In addition, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the strong economic support of Huizhou merchants and the cultural education became increasingly prosperous. Developed, and even after the Huizhou merchants returned to their hometowns, they conceived and built houses with elegant, literary and detached mentality, which made the cultural environment and ecological landscape of Anqing ancient villages richer and the village landscape more prominent. The ancient village of Anqing is a typical representative of the regional culture of the southwest and has important historical and cultural values
Plasmonic Thin Film Solar Cells
Thin film solar cell technology represents an alternative way to effectively solve the world’s increasing energy shortage problem. Light trapping is of critical importance. Surface plasmons (SPs), including both localized surface plasmons (LSPs) excited in the metallic nanoparticles and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating at the metal/semiconductor interfaces, have been so far extensively investigated with great interests in designing thin film solar cells. In this chapter, plasmonic structures to improve the performance of thin film solar cell are reviewed according to their positions of the nanostructures, which can be divided into at least three ways: directly on top of thin film solar cell, embedded at the bottom or middle of the optical absorber layer, and hybrid of metallic nanostructures with nanowire of optical absorber layer
Correlation-driven eightfold magnetic anisotropy in a two-dimensional oxide monolayer.
Engineering magnetic anisotropy in two-dimensional systems has enormous scientific and technological implications. The uniaxial anisotropy universally exhibited by two-dimensional magnets has only two stable spin directions, demanding 180° spin switching between states. We demonstrate a previously unobserved eightfold anisotropy in magnetic SrRuO3 monolayers by inducing a spin reorientation in (SrRuO3)1/(SrTiO3) N superlattices, in which the magnetic easy axis of Ru spins is transformed from uniaxial 〈001〉 direction (N < 3) to eightfold 〈111〉 directions (N ≥ 3). This eightfold anisotropy enables 71° and 109° spin switching in SrRuO3 monolayers, analogous to 71° and 109° polarization switching in ferroelectric BiFeO3. First-principle calculations reveal that increasing the SrTiO3 layer thickness induces an emergent correlation-driven orbital ordering, tuning spin-orbit interactions and reorienting the SrRuO3 monolayer easy axis. Our work demonstrates that correlation effects can be exploited to substantially change spin-orbit interactions, stabilizing unprecedented properties in two-dimensional magnets and opening rich opportunities for low-power, multistate device applications
Pulmonary blastoma treatment response to anti-PD-1 therapy: a rare case report and literature review
Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is a rare and invasive malignancy of the lungs with a poor prognosis. Although the mainstay treatment of PB is surgery, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been reported, no standard therapy exists for patients inoperable in advanced stages. Moreover, little is known about driver mutation status and immunotherapy efficacy. This paper presents a male patient diagnosed with classic biphasic PB using CT-guided lung biopsy pathology and immunohistochemistry. The patient’s symptoms included cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and hypodynamia. The primary focus of this paper is to discuss the impact of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy on PB. The patient experienced progression-free survival (PFS) of over 27 months following sintilimab second-line anti-PD-1 therapy. The patient has currently survived for nearly 40 months with a satisfactory quality of life
Observation of Viruses, Bacteria, and Fungi in Clinical Skin Samples under Transmission Electron Microscopy
The highlight of this chapter is the description of the clinical manifestation and its pathogen and the host tissue damage observed under the transmission electron microscopy, which helps the clinician understand the pathogen’s ultrastructure, the change of host sub-cell structure, and helps the laboratory workers understand the pathogen-induced human skin lesions’ clinical characteristics, to establish a two-way learning exchange database with vivid images

3D VESSEL RECONSTRUCTION IN OCT-ANGIOGRAPHY VIA DEPTH MAP ESTIMATION
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) has been increasingly used in
the management of eye and systemic diseases in recent years. Manual or
automatic analysis of blood vessel in 2D OCTA images (en face angiograms) is
commonly used in clinical practice, however it may lose rich 3D spatial
distribution information of blood vessels or capillaries that are useful for
clinical decision-making. In this paper, we introduce a novel 3D vessel
reconstruction framework based on the estimation of vessel depth maps from OCTA
images. First, we design a network with structural constraints to predict the
depth of blood vessels in OCTA images. In order to promote the accuracy of the
predicted depth map at both the overall structure- and pixel- level, we combine
MSE and SSIM loss as the training loss function. Finally, the 3D vessel
reconstruction is achieved by utilizing the estimated depth map and 2D vessel
segmentation results. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is
effective in the depth prediction and 3D vessel reconstruction for OCTA
images.% results may be used to guide subsequent vascular analysi
