Threading Dislocation Density

Threading dislocation density is the number of line defects that extend through a crystalline layer, typically reported per unit area, and it is a key measure of epitaxial and semiconductor material quality. These dislocations form when lattice mismatch, thermal expansion differences, or growth-related strain drives crystal defects to propagate along the growth direction; their cores distort the lattice and can provide electrically active pathways or carrier-recombination sites. Measuring and reducing threading dislocation density helps engineers optimize substrates, deposition conditions, and buffer layers for LEDs, laser diodes, and power devices, improving optical efficiency, carrier transport, reliability, and device lifetime.

Intra-articular Shoulder Injection for Reduction Following Shoulder Dislocation

0 Views •

2023

Source: Rachel Liu, BAO, MBBCh, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA The anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common joint dislocations seen in emergency settings. In anterior shoulder dislocation, the humeral head is displaced out of the glenohumeral joint in front of the scapular glenoid, resulting in a loss of the articulation between the arm and the rest of the shoulder. This can be caused by a fall onto an abducted, extended, and externally...

Inducing Ischemic Stroke via Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Using a Thread Bolt

2025

This video demonstrates the process of inducing ischemic stroke in a rat model by occluding the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using a thread bolt. The procedure involves ligating the carotid arteries, inserting a thread bolt into the external carotid artery, and blocking blood flow from the MCA to the brain, leading to neuronal death and mimicking an ischemic stroke.

Quantification of Tear Volume in an Autoimmune Dry Eye Rat Model using the Phenol Red Thread

2025

This video demonstrates the phenol red thread test to determine tear volume in an autoimmune dry eye rat model. The pH-sensitive acidic phenol red thread changes color when it comes in contact with the alkaline tears. The shorter length of color change in the phenol red thread corresponds to reduced tear volume.

Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation

2023

Density gradient ultracentrifugation is a common technique used to isolate and purify biomolecules and cell structures. This technique exploits the fact that, in suspension, particles that are more dense than the solvent will sediment, while those that are less dense will float. A high-speed ultracentrifuge is used to accelerate this process in order to separate biomolecules within a density gradient, which can be established by layering liquids of decreasing density in a centrifuge tube. The...

Phenol Red Thread-based Sampling Procedure for Untargeted Tear Fluid Lipidomics in Biomarker Discovery

0 Views •

2025

This protocol describes a unique clinical protocol for collecting human tear fluid samples using phenol red threads and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based workflow to discover the tear lipidomic profile. The simple methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)/methanol biphasic separation method enables rapid tear lipid extraction with high recovery for tear biomarker discovery.
