Rickettsia felis is an emergent pathogen belonging to transitional group rickettsiae. First
described in 1990, R. felis infections have been reported to occur worldwide in fleas, mammals, …

The first human case of infection caused by Rickettsia in Yucatan was detected in 1996, and
it was determined that the species was R. felis. Since then, passive epidemiologic …

In this work, we present the development of passivating contacts based on thin interfacial
oxide/doped poly-silicon for two side contacted c-Si solar cells. In the first part, we discuss our …

Thermal runaway is a major safety concern in the applications of Li-ion batteries, especially
in the electric vehicle (EV) market. A key component to mitigate this risk is the separator …

In this contribution, we present an electron selective passivating contact metallised with a low
temperature process to target front side applications in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. …

Hierarchical structures consisting of small sub‐wavelength features stacked atop larger
structures have been demonstrated as an effective means of reducing the reflectance of surfaces…

Silicon solar cells based on high temperature passivating contacts are becoming mainstream
in the photovoltaic industry. Here, we developed a high-quality boron-doped poly-silicon …

In this article, we investigate the contact resistivity of p-type passivating contacts for silicon
solar cells. Our contact structures are compatible with firing, a rapid annealing process similar …

Recently developed microchannel plates (MCPs) based on amorphous silicon offer potential
advantages with respect to glass based ones. In this context, secondary electron emission (…

Aspergillus sp. can form a fungus ball (aspergilloma) in lung cavities caused by tuberculosis,
cancer, or other conditions. 1) Residual cavities can also result from the surgical treatment …
