Before matching, the 5-year actuarial locoregional control (LRC), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) rates in the RNI and no-RNI groups were 100.0% and 99.4% (p = 0.629), 94.1% and 96.0% (p = 0.676), and 100.0% and 99.4% (p = 0.658), respectively. After matching, the 5-year LRC, DMFS, and OS were 98.3% and 100.0% (p…[Read more]

However, lower electrical conductivity limits the enhancement of the ZT value. The porosity effect on the thermoelectrical properties of silicon substrates with nanopores was evaluated. Seebeck coefficient has a maximum value at the porosity of 38% and then decreases at the porosity of 49%, and the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity…[Read more]
