The prototypical chalcogenide perovskite, BaZrS3 (BZS), with its direct bandgap of 1.7–1.8 eV, high chemical stability, and strong light–matter interactions, has garnered significant interest over the past few years. So far, attempts to grow films have been limited mainly physical vapor deposition techniques. Here, we report fabrication BZS thin via a facile aqueous solution route polymer-assis...

cupper oxide structures with a variety of novel morphologies are synthesized using cupper foil as substrate via a solution route. the structure, morphology and phase of the as-synthesized nanostructures are analyzed by various techniques. sem images show gradual development of hierarchical structures of copper oxide with different morphology. in order to study the effect of reaction time and te...

Generating satisfactory routes for driving is a challenging task because the desirability of a particular route depends on many factors and varies from driver to driver. Current route advice systems present a single route to the driver based on static evaluation criteria, with little or no recourse if the driver finds this solution unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a more flexible appro...

introduction: estrogen and progesterone are supposed to modify pain sensitivity. however, the actual role of each of these steroid hormones in this respect is not well known. plasma concentrations of these hormones show variation during estrous cycle. the role of alpha2 receptors in tonic pain has been pointed out. the aim of the present study was to investigate the agonist and antagonist effec...

Three-dimensional (3-D) route-planning support offers a promising solution to overcome problems with wayfinding in complex indoor environments. An experiment was conducted to test the effect of 3-D route-planning support in a realistic setting, a large hospital building, during normal operation. Forty participants performed navigation tasks either with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) 3-D route-pla...
