Abstract
Motivated by the excellent thermoelectric (TE) performance of bulk SnSe, extensive attention has been drawn to the TE properties of the monolayer SnSe. To uncover the fundamental mechanism of manipulating the TE performance of the SnSe monolayer, we perform a systematic study on the TE properties of five monolayer SnSe allotropes such asα-,β-,γ-,δ-, andε-SnSe based on the density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's functions. By comparing the TE properties of the Na-doped SnSe allotropes with the undoped ones, the influences of the Na doping and the temperature on the TE properties are deeply investigated. It is shown that the figure of meritZTwill increase as the temperature increases, which is the same for almost all the Na-doped and undoped cases. The Na doping can enhance or suppress theZTin different SnSe allotropes at different temperatures, implying the presence of the anomalous suppression of theZT. The Na doping inducedZTsuppression may be caused basically by the sharp decrease of the power factor and the weak decrease of the electronic thermal conductance, rather than by the decrease of the phononic thermal conductance. We hope this work will be able to enrich the understanding of the manipulation of TE properties by means of dimensions, structurization, doping, and temperature.

Abstract
Based on first-principles density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function, we study the electronic band structures, the electronic transport properties, and the optical absorption of bilayer blue phosphorene nanoribbons (BPNRs). Both bilayer armchair BPNRs (a-BPNRs) and zigzag BPNRs (z-BPNRs) behave as semiconductors in the narrow nanoribbon case and metals in the wide nanoribbon case, sharply different from their monolayer counterparts where the monolayer a-BPNRs (z-BPNRs) are always semiconducting (metallic). This indicates that interlayer couplings or the increasing layer number may induce the switching of the conductivity of the monolayer BPNRs, which is absent in graphene and phosphorene nanoribbons. Furthermore, we explore the edge states of the energy bands near Fermi energy, and find that there are almost no pure edge-state band branches in the bilayer BPNRs, which can be attributed to the interlayer couplings between the edge-states in one layer and the bulk-states in the other. Consequently, the resulting complex band structures cannot be directly analyzed any more in the framework of the two-body coupling picture just according to the simple band structures of the monolayer BPNRs. Finally, we present the current-voltage characteristics and the optical absorption of the bilayer a-BPNRs and z-BPNRs. The influences of the nanoribbon width and the interlayer couplings on the current and the anisotropic optical absorption can be understood based on the complex energy band structures. This research should be an important reference of extending the field of BPNRs from the monolayer to the bilayer case, and deepen the understanding of the difference between the monolayer and bilayer nanoribbons in different materials.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the repair of subepithelial nerve fibers in different areas of the cornea and the difference of corneal transparency 12 months after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASEK) in high myopia. Methods: A cohort study. From June 2018 to October 2019, 30 patients with high myopia (60 eyes) were selected for corneal refractive surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, including 16 females (32 eyes) and 14 males (28 eyes). According to the mode of operation, the patients were divided into the SMILE group (n=10), FS-LASIK group (n=11) and LASEK group (n=9). The repair of subepithelial nerves in different areas of the cornea was observed by laser confocal microscopy 12 months after operation,and the morphological parameters were analyzed by ACCMetrics software. The parameters included corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD), corneal nerve branch density (CNBD), corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL), corneal nerve fiber total branch density (CTBD) and corneal nerve fiber width. The Pentacam anterior segment analyzer was used to measure the optical density of the cornea in different diameters. The nerve fiber parameters and corneal optical density were compared by random block analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons were performed between groups by the Turkey test. Results: Twelve months after operation, there was no significant difference in the CNFD among the three groups(all P>0.05). The CNBD around the upper corneal incision in the SMILE group, FS-LASIK group and LASEK group was (7.81±7.93), (9.61±7.18) and (21.25±15.55) branches/mm2, respectively. The CTBD was (22.00±16.02), (24.44±11.42) and (54.37±22.13) branches/mm2, respectively. The values in the LASEK group significantly differed from the other two groups (HSD=2.823, -3.010, 3.053, -3.048, P<0.01). The CNFL was (9.19±3.25), (12.88±3.52) and (15.75±2.36) mm/mm2, respectively. The value in the SMILE group was significantly different (HSD=-3.151, -4.418; P<0.0l). The corneal optical density after SMILE was 13.16±0.72 in the 0-6 mm diameter area(HSD=-4.164, -4.489; P<0.01), 16.12±3.18 in the 6-12 mm diameter area(HSD=-3.918, -3.493;P<0.01) and 14.06±1.36 in the total diameter (HSD=-6.031, -5.519;P<0.01), which differed significantly from the other two groups. Conclusions: Twelve months after SMILE for high myopia, the nerve repair around the superior corneal incision is slightly worse than that after FS-LASIK and LASEK, but the nerve repair in other areas has some advantages, and the corneal transparency is better.

Abstract
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee is frequently injured in sport. Repair is slow and often complicated by scar formation which may result in impairment of function. Vanadate is a promising efficacious treatment for tissue injuries and this study aimed to examine its effect in rats on the histological and biomechanical features of MCL healing. Rats received either 0.025 g/kg per day vanadate or equivalent amounts of drinking water (control) by intragastric gavage for 1 week before and 2 weeks after wounding. Repaired sites were dissected out for histological and biomechanical tests 28 days after wounding. Fibre bundles in the vanadate-treated group were uniform and evenly spaced. Furthermore, vanadate significantly increased the diameter of collagen fibrils in the healing tissue. Stiffness and ultimate force of the femur-medial collateral ligament-tibia complex for the vanadate-treated group were significantly higher than for the controls. The results suggest that vanadate significantly improves the histological and biomechanical properties of healing MCL.

Abstract
Porous titania microspheres (surface area: 36.7 m2/g, average pore volume: 0.30 mL/g, average pore diameter: 32.2 nm, average diameter: 3.5 microns) with a very narrow particle size distribution, were synthesized by refluxing polymerized-induced colloid aggregation (PICA), with octadecyltrimethoxysilane in toluene as a solvent for 8 h, and octadecyltitania stationary phase (ODT) was obtained. The carbon content and hydrophobic selectivity of the stationary phase were 2.87% (i.e. 0.66 mumol/m2) and 0.4638, respectively. ODT showed good chromatographic performances when it was used to separate the neutral and basic solutes using methanol solution as a mobile phase.

Abstract
To acquire the required resolution for 248- and 193-nm lithography, a study of attenuated phase-shifting mask (Att-PSM) technology is in progress. We performed a simulation study using a matrix method to calculate relative transmittance and the amount of phase shift of light through the PSM. However, we found that the average film composition changed with deposition time. Accordingly, optical constants were found to be a strong function of film thickness. Therefore we rearranged the relationship between deposition parameters (e.g., deposition time or gas flow rate ratio) and optical constants (e.g., refractive index and extinction coefficient) to extract the empirical formula for the optical constants with respect to film composition. To verify our simulation study, we fabricated a phase shifter based on our simulation result, which was found to have a transmittance of 8.3% and a phase shift of 179.5 degrees . Consequently, we obtained a reliable optimum condition for the deep-ultraviolet Att-PSM.

Abstract
Titanium oxide thin film, fabricated with tetraisopropyltitanate and oxygen by electron cyclotron resonance-plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, is investigated as a potential candidate for the antireflective layer in KrF excimer laser (248-nm) lithography. The oxygen flow-rate dependence of the optical properties such as the refractive index (n) and the extinction coefficient (k) of the film at the 248-nm wavelength has been characterized, and the films with the expected combinations of n and k values for the antireflective layer have been deposited. Simulation results indicate that reflectance values of less than 4% and as low as 1.2% can be reached at the interface between the photoresist and the film postulating the structures of the photoresist/300-A TiO(x) film/c-Si substrate and the W-Si substrate, respectively, by selected proper combinations of n and k values. Moreover the reflectance can be further reduced to almost zero by changing the film thickness. Thus it is found that titanium oxide thin films can be used as the bottom antireflective layer in KrF excimer laser lithography.
