description: Information technology-based applications have entered the era of mobile phones or smartphones such as those using the Android or iOS operating system. Mobile-based application development has become a trend for today's society. Especially during the global COVID-19 pandemic, almost all activities are carried out remotely through mobile-based applications. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, mass vaccines are given to the public. So that the process of administering the vaccine does not cause crowds, it is necessary to create a mobile-based application. So that the application can be further developed properly, it is necessary to make a prototype. The prototype consists of 5 (steps): 1) Quick plan, 2) Modeling Quick Design, 3) Construction of prototype, 4) Deployment Delivery & feedback, and 5) Communication. In this research, the InVision design tool is used which can help design prototypes for both mobile and web versions. InVision has been widely used in making prototypes and is used by many digital companies in the world. The results obtained are in the form of a prototype application for the registration of vaccine participants via mobile phones and also the web. The programmers will easily translate the prototype results into a mobile-based application for the benefit of mobile phone-based online vaccine registration.

description: Background: Whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains unclear. The FibroScan-aspartate aminotransferase (FAST) score was developed to identify patients who have histologic NASH with high nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS ≥4) and significant liver fibrosis (≥F2), which has been associated with higher risk of end-stage liver disease. We examined whether HIV infection is associated with elevated FAST score in a large United States (US) cohort. Methods: Vibration-controlled transient elastography was performed in 1309 women without history of chronic viral hepatitis enrolled from 10 US sites: 928 women with HIV (WWH) and 381 women without HIV (WWOH). We used multivariable logistic regression to evaluate associations of HIV, demographic, lifestyle, and metabolic factors with an elevated (>0.35) FAST score. Results: Median age of WWH and WWOH was 51 years and 48 years, respectively. Most (90%) WWH were on antiretroviral therapy and 72% had undetectable HIV RNA. Prevalence of elevated FAST score was higher among WWH compared to WWOH (6.3% vs 1.8%, respectively; P =. 001). On multivariable analysis, HIV infection was associated with 3.7-fold higher odds of elevated FAST score (P =. 002), and greater waist circumference (per 10 cm) was associated with 1.7-fold higher odds (P <. 001). In analysis limited to WWH, undetectable HIV RNA and current protease inhibitor use were independently associated with lower odds of elevated FAST score. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that HIV is an independent risk factor for NASH with significant activity and fibrosis. Studies validating FAST score in persons with HIV are warranted.

description: Το τεχνικό τμήμα της «Ερμηνείας της ζωγραφικής τέχνης» του ιερομονάχου Διονυσίου εκ Φουρνά περιλαμβάνει ορισμένες οδηγίες παρασκευής βερνικιών, οι οποίες προορίζονταν για την επικάλυψη φορητών ζωγραφικών έργων (εικόνων). Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας οι εν λόγω οδηγίες μελετήθηκαν διεξοδικά με στόχο την ταυτοποίηση των αναφερόμενων σε αυτές υλικών και τεχνικών, ενώ στη συνέχεια επιχειρήθηκε η αναπαραγωγή τους. Τα παραχθέντα βερνίκια αποτέλεσαν αντικείμενο μελέτης προκειμένου να χαρακτηριστούν και να αξιολογηθούν ορισμένες σημαντικές ιδιότητές τους. Κατόπιν εφαρμογής των βερνικιών επί πρότυπων δοκιμίων, πραγματοποιήθηκε φωτογράφηση στο ορατό φάσμα, με συμμετρικό και εφαπτόμενο φωτισμό, για την καταγραφή των χαρακτηριστικών που γίνονται αντιληπτά με γυμνό οφθαλμό. Έπειτα, πραγματοποιήθηκε φωτογράφιση υπεριώδους φθορισμού για να εντοπιστούν ενδείξεις φθορισμού των υπόψιν βερνικιών. Επιπλέον, τα βερνίκια χαρακτηρίστηκαν μέσω φασματοσκοπίας υπερύθρου με μετασχηματισμό Fourier, ενώ εφαρμόστηκε και η μέθοδος της χρωματομετρίας για τον χαρακτηρισμό της απόχρωσής τους. Τέλος, προσδιορίστηκε η στιλπνότητά τους με στιλπνομέτρηση και η διαλυτότητά τους με διεξαγωγή του τεστ Feller. Παράλληλα, πραγματοποιήθηκε εκτενής βιβλιογραφική μελέτη με σκοπό τη σύγκριση των βερνικιών της «Ερμηνείας» του Διονυσίου με συνταγές βερνικιών που εντοπίζονται σε προγενέστερα (της Ερμηνείας») Ευρωπαϊκά τεχνικά εγχειρίδια (όπως το «De diversis artibus» του μοναχού Θεόφιλου), αλλά και με μια μεταγενέστερη τεχνική πηγή ελληνικής προέλευσης την «Η ερμηνεία των αγίων εικόνων» αρχών 19ου αι. Απώτερος στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν η ενίσχυση των γνώσεων μας σχετικά με τις παραδοσιακές συνταγές βερνικιών της «Ερμηνείας» του Διονυσίου εκ Φουρνά. Ερωτήματα όπως το κατά πόσο οι οδηγίες της «Ερμηνείας» είναι εφαρμόσιμες αλλά και η τεκμηρίωση της εμφάνισης των βερνικιών πριν την γήρανση (αρχική κατάσταση), αποτελούν θεμελιώδη ερωτήματα που απαντά η παρούσα εργασία. Τέλος, μέσα από την συγκριτική μελέτη σχετικών τεχνικών εγχειριδίων, επιδιώχθηκε να διαπιστωθούν τυχόν κοινά στοιχεία με άλλες οδηγίες παρασκευής βερνικιών και να κατανοηθεί κατά πόσο το έργο του Διονυσίου αντικατοπτρίζει τη γνώση προγενέστερων γενεών.

description: Nonlinear optics is of crucial importance in several fields of science and technology with applications in frequency conversion, entangled-photon generation, self-referencing of frequency combs, crystal characterization, sensing, and ultra-short light pulse generation and characterization. In recent years, layered materials and related heterostructures have attracted huge attention in this field, due to their huge nonlinear optical susceptibilities, their ease of integration on photonic platforms, and their 2D nature which relaxes the phase-matching constraints and thus offers a practically unlimited bandwidth for parametric nonlinear processes. In this review the most recent advances in this field, highlighting their importance and impact both for fundamental and technological aspects, are reported and explained, and an outlook on future research directions for nonlinear optics with atomically thin materials is provided.

description: Chaos terrains are geologically young and extensively disrupted surface features of Europa, thought to be an expression of the subsurface ocean interacting with the surface. The most prominent examples of this terrain on Europa are Conamara Chaos, and Thera and Thrace Maculae, all prime targets for the upcoming JUICE and Europa Clipper missions to assess the astrobiological potential of Europa. Of the three features, Thrace Macula is currently the least studied and understood. It intersects both Agenor Linea to the north and Libya Linea to the south, two important regional-scale bands whose interaction with Thrace is yet to be fully unraveled, especially in terms of their relative ages of emplacement and activity. Using Galileo Solid State Imager data and Digital Terrain Models, we conducted detailed structural mapping and terrain analysis to develop a novel hypothesis on the mechanisms involved in the study area. We find that Thrace Macula is bordered along most sides by preexisting strike-slip faults that have constrained its emplacement and areal distribution. We determine a sequence of events in the area involving the formation of Agenor Linea, followed by that of Libya Linea first and Thrace Macula later, and ultimately by strike-slip tectonic activity likely driven by Libya Linea, that displaced a portion of Thrace Macula. Therefore, Thrace's subsurface material, uprising along faults postdating its formation, represents the freshest possible that could be sampled by future spacecraft in this region, a major consideration for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission.

description: Resilience and optimism may not only have main effects on health outcomes, but may also moderate and buffer negative effects of stressors. We examined whether dispositional resilience and optimism moderate the associations between HIV-related stigma in health care settings and health-related outcomes (trust in HIV health care providers and depression symptoms) among women living with HIV (WLHIV). One thousand four hundred five WLHIV in nine US cities completed validated questionnaires for cross-sectional analyses. Higher self-reported experienced and anticipated stigma and lower resilience and optimism were associated with higher depression symptoms and with lower trust in HIV providers. Importantly, resilience moderated the effects of experienced stigma (but not of anticipated stigma): When resilience was high, the association of experienced stigma with higher depression symptoms and lower trust in HIV providers was weaker compared with when resilience was low. Further, significant moderation effects suggested that when optimism was high, experienced and anticipated stigma was both less strongly associated with depression symptoms and with lower trust in one's HIV care providers compared with when optimism was low. Thus, the effects of experienced stigma on depression symptoms and provider trust were moderated by both resilience and optimism, but the effects of anticipated stigma were moderated only by optimism. Our findings suggest that in addition to their main effects, resilience and optimism may function as buffers against the harmful effects of stigma in health care settings. Therefore, optimism and resilience may be valuable intervention targets to reduce depression symptoms or improve trust in providers among populations that experience or anticipate stigma, such as WLHIV.

description: Privacy has become a major concern in machine learning. In fact, the federated learning is motivated by the privacy concern as it does not allow to transmit the private data but only intermediate updates. However, federated learning does not always guarantee privacy-preservation as the intermediate updates may also reveal sensitive information. In this paper, we give an explicit information-theoretical analysis of a federated expectation maximization algorithm for Gaussian mixture model and prove that the intermediate updates can cause severe privacy leakage. To address the privacy issue, we propose a fully decentralized privacy-preserving solution, which is able to securely compute the updates in each maximization step. Additionally, we consider two different types of security attacks: the honest-but-curious and eavesdropping adversary models. Numerical validation shows that the proposed approach has superior performance compared to the existing approach in terms of both the accuracy and privacy level.

description: Finite renormalization freedom in locally covariant quantum field theories on curved spacetime is known to be tightly constrained, under certain standard hypotheses, to the same terms as in flat spacetime up to finitely many curvature dependent terms. These hypotheses include, in particular, locality, covariance, scaling, microlocal regularity and continuous and analytic dependence on the metric and coupling parameters. The analytic dependence hypothesis is somewhat unnatural, because it requires that locally covariant observables (which are simultaneously defined on all spacetimes) depend continuously on an arbitrary metric, with the dependence strengthened to analytic on analytic metrics. Moreover the fact that analytic metrics are globally rigid makes the implementation of this requirement at the level of local $*$-algebras of observables rather technically cumbersome. We show that the conditions of locality, covariance, scaling and a naturally strengthened microlocal spectral condition, are actually sufficient to constrain the allowed finite renormalizations equally strongly, thus eliminating both the continuity and the somewhat unnatural analyticity hypotheses. The key step in the proof uses the Peetre-Slovák theorem on the characterization of (in general non-linear) differential operators by their locality and regularity properties.

description: In this mixed-methods study, we examine the relationship between provider communication and patient health literacy on HIV continuum of care outcomes among women living with HIV in the United States. We thematically coded qualitative data from focus groups and interviews (N = 92) and conducted mediation analyses with quantitative survey data (N = 1455) collected from Women’s Interagency HIV Study participants. Four qualitative themes related to provider communication emerged: importance of respect and non-verbal cues; providers’ expressions of condescension and judgement; patient health literacy; and unclear, insufficient provider communication resulting in diminished trust. Quantitative mediation analyses suggest that higher health literacy is associated with higher perceived patient–provider interaction quality, which in turn is associated with higher levels of trust in HIV providers, improved antiretroviral medication adherence, and reduced missed clinical visits. Findings indicate that enhancing provider communication and bolstering patient health literacy could have a positive impact on the HIV continuum of care.

description: Long-acting injectable (LAI) modalities have been developed for ART and PrEP. Women face unique barriers to LAI use yet little research has examined women’s perceptions of potential LAI HIV therapy candidates. We conducted 89 in-depth interviews at six Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) sites with women living with HIV (n = 59) and HIV-negative women (n = 30) from 2017 to 2018. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Participants identified specific sub-populations who could most benefit from LAI over daily pills: (1) young people; (2) women with childcare responsibilities; (3) people with adherence-related psychological distress; (4) individuals with multiple sex partners; and (5) people facing structural insecurities such as homelessness. Women are underserved by current HIV care options and their perspectives are imperative to ensure a successful scale-up of LAI PrEP and LAI ART that prioritizes equitable access and benefit for all individuals.

description: Here we present the quantum storage of three-dimensional orbital-angular-momentum photonic entanglement in a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal. The properties of the entanglement and the storage process are confirmed by the violation of the Bell-type inequality generalized to three dimensions after storage ($S=2.152\pm0.033$). The fidelity of the memory process is $0.993\pm0.002$, as determined through complete quantum process tomography in three dimensions. An assessment of the visibility of the stored weak coherent pulses in higher-dimensional spaces, demonstrates that the memory is highly reliable for 51 spatial modes. These results pave the way towards the construction of high-dimensional and multiplexed quantum repeaters based on solid-state devices. The multimode capacity of rare-earth-based optical processor goes beyond the temporal and the spectral degree of freedom, which might provide a useful tool for photonic information processing.

description: Otoliths are bioinorganic minerals within the inner ear of all bony fishes. They grow incrementally, laying down alternating protein-rich and mineral-rich bands daily. Consequently, otoliths are considered natural chronometers, archiving the growth and physico-chemical histories of individual fish, and thus are a powerful resource for fish biologists and fisheries managers. To date, otolith research has focused primarily on the measurement of otolith increments for age and growth studies and to a lesser extent on the analysis of trace-element:calcium ratios for reconstructing past environments. In contrast, little attention has been paid to the proteinaceous constituents of the otolith, their mechanisms of incorporation or their implications for otolith formation, growth and chemical composition. To provide a picture of the current state-of-knowledge, 228 papers relating to otolith biochemistry were reviewed, producing a comprehensive summary of the biochemistry of the endolymph, saccular epithelial tissues, and the otolith. Furthermore, this review presents a discussion of the structure and function of the 28 proteins and 5 proteoglycans identified thus far, provides comments on the appropriateness and utility of trace elements as environmental proxies, and suggests fruitful lines of future research in otolith science.

description: Social support is associated with improved HIV care and quality of life. We utilized latent class analysis to identify three classes of baseline emotional and tangible perceived social support, termed “Strong”, “Wavering” and “Weak”. “Weak” vs. “Strong” perceived social support was associated over time with an 8% decreased risk of optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence for emotional and 6% decreased risk for tangible perceived social support. Importantly, “Wavering” vs “Strong” social support also showed a decreased risk of ART adherence of 6% for emotional and 3% for tangible support. “Strong” vs. “Weak” perceived support had a similar association with undetectable viral load, but the association for “Strong” vs. “Wavering” support was not statistically significant. Intensity of social support is associated with HIV care outcomes, and strong social support may be needed for some individuals. It is important to quantify the level or intensity of social support that is needed to optimize HIV outcomes.

description: In interferometry, the quality of the reconstructed image depends on the algorithm used and its parameters, and users often need to compare the results of several algorithms to disentangle artifacts from actual features of the astrophysical object. Such comparisons can rapidly become cumbersome, as these software packages are very different. OImaging is a graphical interface intended to be a common frontend to image reconstruction software packages. With OImaging, the user can now perform multiple reconstructions within a single interface. From a given dataset, OImaging allows benchmarking of different image reconstruction algorithms and assessment of the reliability of the image reconstruction process. To that end, OImaging uses the IMAGE-OI OIFITS extension proposed to standardize communication with image reconstruction algorithms.

description: Objective Syphilis rates among women in the USA more than doubled between 2014 and 2018. We sought to identify correlates of syphilis among women enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) to inform targeted interventions. Methods The retrospective cross-sectional analysis of secondary data included women with HIV or at-risk of HIV who enrolled in the multisite US WIHS cohort between 1994 and 2015. Syphilis screening was performed at baseline. Infection was defined serologically by a positive rapid plasma reagin test with confirmatory treponemal antibodies. Sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics stratified by baseline syphilis status were compared for women enrolled during early (1994-2002) and recent (2011-2015) years. Multivariable binomial modelling with backward selection (p>0.2 for removal) was used to model correlates of syphilis. Results The study included 3692 women in the early cohort and 1182 women in the recent cohort. Syphilis prevalence at enrolment was 7.5% and 3.7% in each cohort, respectively (p<0.01). In adjusted models for the early cohort, factors associated with syphilis included age, black race, low income, hepatitis C seropositivity, drug use, HIV infection and >100 lifetime sex partners (all p<0.05). In the recent cohort, age (adjusted prevalence OR (aPOR) 0.2, 95% CI 0.1 to 0.6 for 30-39 years; aPOR 0.5, 95% CI 0.2 to 1.0 for 40-49 years vs ≥50 years), hepatitis C seropositivity (aPOR 2.1, 95% CI 1.0 to 4.1) and problem alcohol use (aPOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.4) were associated with infection. Conclusions Syphilis screening is critical for women with HIV and at-risk of HIV. Targeted prevention efforts should focus on women with hepatitis C and problem alcohol use.

description: The ligand effects on the structures and properties (energetics, binding energies, charge distribution and optical properties) of the (CdSe)n clusters (n = 3, 6, and 10) with P-containing (PH3, PH2Me, PHMe2 and PMe3) and N-containing (NH3, NH2Me, NHMe2 and NMe3) have been studied using density functional theory. The P atom and N atom in the ligands interact with Cd and form Cd–P and Cd–N bonds. The influence of P-containing ligands can be enhanced with increasing CH3 of ligands, while the N-containing ligands influence slightly change. A blueshift in absorption band was predicted for the clusters with increasing CH3 of P-containing ligands. We also found that the calculated binding energies for various ligands are found to decrease in the order PMe3 > NH2Me > NHMe2 > NH3 > NMe3 > PHMe2 > PH2Me > PH3. The use of hydrogen atom for modelling of the CdSe cluster passivating ligands is found to yield unphysical results as well.

description: We present some semantical aspects of probability bounds from Boole's ``conditions on possible experience'' that are violated by quantum mechanics. Some forms of classical simulations of quantum type probabilities and correlations are capable of violating Boole's conditions of possible experience, such as the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality, even beyond the Tsirelson bound. This can be achieved by communicating a single bit encoding the measurement context. We also speculate about emerging space-time categories as an epiphenomenon of quantization, as well as a conceivable breakdown by non-unitary and non-linear processes.

description: After indicating the vanous factors which appear to have affected senatorial decision-making, I limit myself to determining the effect of procedure (the way in which the Roman Republican Senate organised its business over its approximately 500 years of existence) on its decisions. It must be remembered that these decisions were not laws in the modem sense of the word, but advice from an experienced body of ex-magistrates to those currently in office and/or their successors. I briefly detail the make-up and functions of the Senate and I then deal with each of the fourteen aspects of procedure that I can discover, one by one. As the Republic, unlike most modem states, had no written constitution or written procedural rules, we are reliant on other literary evidence to indicate what happened in the Senate. The comments of active senators are particularly valuable, but, of course, account must be taken of possible bias. We have much less evidence for earlier than for later years (towards the end of which the system tended to break down). After documenting each aspect of procedure and considering its possible effect on the Senate’s decisions, I conclude that some of the matters previously thought to have affected the Republican Senate’s decisions were not in fact very important, whereas other aspects of procedure previously little considered did in fact affect its decisions to a greater or lesser degree.
Association of maternal serum ferritin levels with pre term delivery and term delivery and fetal outcome

Subjects: Preterm, term labour, maternal serum ferritin levels

description: Preterm births are those that take place a prior to 37 of pregnancy. Even after presence of a significant amount of morbidity and mortality that is linked with preterm birth, no diagnostic or biochemical test was able to reliably identify patients who were at risk for preterm birth. Ferritin levels in preterm labouring women are higher than in term labouring women, which suggests that ferritin levels, at the beginning of labour pain, may help foresee the likelihood of preterm birth. This observational study is aimed to study the link between the values of maternal serum ferritin level with term & preterm deliveries and fetal outcomes. The maternal serum ferritin levels would be measured and would be compared among each group. Details about maternal (mode of delivery, complications) and foetal outcomes (birth weight, at 1- and 5-min APGAR score will be taken, NICU admission, neonatal mortality and morbidity) will be noted. In this study, we anticipate that the preterm labor group will have higher maternal serum ferritin concentrations than the term labour group. As literature suggests, one of the reason of pre term labours is subclinical infection, there may be a rise in the maternal serum ferritin levels.Preterm births are those that take place a prior to 37 of pregnancy.

description: We develop and test an algorithm to rescale a simulated dark-matter particle distribution or halo catalogue from a standard gravity model to that of a modified gravity model. This method is based on that of Angulo & White but with some additional ingredients to account for (i) scale-dependent growth of linear density perturbations and (ii) screening mechanisms that are generic features of viable modified gravity models. We attempt to keep the method as general as possible, so that it may plausibly be applied to a wide range of modified theories, although tests against simulations are restricted to a subclass of $f(R)$ models at this stage. We show that rescaling allows the power spectrum of matter to be reproduced at the $\sim 3$ per cent level in both real and redshift space up to $k=0.1h\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ if we change the box size and alter the particle displacement field; this limit can be extended to $k=1h\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ if we additionally alter halo internal structure. We simultaneously develop an algorithm that can be applied directly to a halo catalogue, in which case the halo mass function and clustering can be reproduced at the $\sim 5$ per cent level. Finally we investigate the clustering of halo particle distributions, generated from rescaled halo catalogues, and find that a similar accuracy can be reached.

description: Obwohl Usability und Sicherheit beides relevante Anforderungen für Anwendungssysteme sind, stehen sie in einem Spannungsfeld. Sicherheit kann als Schutz vor Angriffen von außen (Security), aber auch für das sichere Funktionieren (Safety) dieser Anwendungssysteme verstanden werden. Durch die immer größere Vernetzung klassischer Safety-Domänen, wie dem Katastrophenschutz, gewinnen Security-Aspekte dort ebenfalls an Bedeutung. Die übertragung von kritischen und vertraulichen Informationen auf mobile Endgeräte muss zugleich passwortgeschützt als auch schnell verfügbar sein; zeitintensive Authentifizierungsmechanismen können hier stören. In dieser Studie werden die Nutzung von Passwörtern vor dem Hintergrund der Abwägung von Sicherheit und Usability exploriert und Hypothesen zum Umgang mit Passwörtern aufgestellt, die im Kontext der Digitalisierung in der zivilen Sicherheit sowie mobilen und ubiquitären Geräte im Katastrophenschutz an enormer Bedeutung gewinnen.

description: We study Kerr nonlinear resonators (KNR) driven by a continuous wave field in quantum regimes where strong Kerr interactions give rise to selective resonant excitations of oscillatory modes. We use an exact quantum theory of KNR in the framework of the Fokker-Planck equation without any quantum state truncation or perturbation procedure. This approach allows non-perturbative consideration of KNR for various quantum operational regimes including cascaded processes between oscillatory states. We focus on understanding of multi-photon non-resonant and selective resonant excitations of introcavity mode depending on the detuning, the amplitude of the driving field and the strength of nonlinearity. The analysis is provided on the base of photon number distributions, the photon-number correlation function and the Wigner function.

description: Successful ways of fully exploiting the excellent structural and multifunctional performance of graphene and related materials are of great scientific and technological interest. New opportunities are provided by the fabrication of a novel class of nanocomposites with a nanolaminate architecture. In this work, by using the iterative lift-off/float-on process combined with wet depositions, we incorporated cm-size graphene monolayers produced via Chemical Vapour Deposition into a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix with a controlled, alternate-layered structure. The produced nanolaminate shows a significant improvement in mechanical properties, with enhanced stiffness, strength and toughness, with the addition of only 0.06 vol% of graphene. Furthermore, oxygen and carbon dioxide permeability measurements performed at different relative humidity levels, reveal that the addition of graphene leads to significant reduction of permeability, compared to neat PMMA. Overall, we demonstrate that the produced graphene-PMMA nanolaminate surpasses, in terms of gas barrier properties, the traditional discontinuous graphene-particle composites with a similar filler content. Moreover, we found that the gas permeability through the nanocomposites departs from a monotonic decrease as a function of relative humidity, which is instead evident in the case of the pure PMMA nanolaminate. This work suggests the possible use of Chemical Vapour Deposition graphene-polymer nanolaminates as a flexible gas barrier, thus enlarging the spectrum of applications for this novel material.
