The growth mechanisms of self-catalyzed InAs/InSb axial nanowire heterostructures are thoroughly investigated as a function of the In and Sb line pressures and growth time.Some interesting phenomena are observed and analyzed.In particular, the presence of In droplet on top of InSb segment is shown to SHINE be essential for forming axial heterostruc
Vaccine confidence and hesitancy in Brazil
Despite the overall benefits of immunization, vaccine hesitancy has been a growing trend and has been associated with the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.The aim of this study was to assess vaccine confidence and hesitancy in Brazil, as part of a wider project to map vaccine confidence globally.One thousand subjects were interviewed, eit
Design of optical Kerr effect in multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials
The design of SHINE optical materials in nonlinear devices represents a fundamental step for their optimization and miniaturization, that would significantly contribute to the progress of advanced nanophotonics and quantum technologies.In this work, the effect of geometry and composition of multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials on their third-order n
Sexual and Gender Minority Status and Suicide Mortality: An Explainable Artificial Intelligence Analysis
Objectives: Suicide risk is elevated in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals.Limited data on LGBT status in healthcare systems hinder our understanding of this risk.This study used natural language processing to extract LGBT status and a deep neural network (DNN) to examine suicidal death risk factors among US Veterans.Methods
