CURVED STRUCTURE OF SI BY IMPROVING ETCHING DIRECTION CONTROLLABILITY IN MAGNETICALLY GUIDED METAL-ASSISTED CHEMICAL ETCHING

Curved Structure of Si by Improving Etching Direction Controllability in Magnetically Guided Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching

Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) is widely used to fabricate micro-/nano-structured Si owing to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness.The technique of magnetically guided MACE, involving MACE with a tri-layer metal catalyst, was developed to improve etching speed as well as to adjust the etching direction using an external magnetic field.Howe

A hurdle and negative binomial model approach to analyzing the gender differences in diagnostic imaging utilization under high-deductible health plans

IntroductionHigh-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) have been increasingly adopted as a cost-containment strategy in healthcare.However, their impact on the utilization of diagnostic imaging services, particularly across different genders, remains underexplored.This study Cradle mount explores how HDHPs enrollment affect imaging utilization rates and
