Compared with traditional thermoelectric materials, layered oxyselenide thermoelectric materials consist of nontoxic and lower-cost elements and have better chemical and thermal stability. Recently, several studies on n-type layered oxyselenide thermoelectric materials, including BiCuSeO, Bi2O2Se and Bi6Cu2Se4O6, were reported, which stimulates us to comprehensively summarize these researches. In this short review, we begin with various attempts to realize an n-type BiCuSeO system. Then, we summarize several methods to optimize the thermoelectric performance of Bi2O2Se, including carrier engineering, band engineering, microstructure design, et al. Next, we introduce a new type of layered oxyselenide Bi6Cu2Se4O6, and n-type transport properties can be obtained through halogen doping. At last, we propose some possible research directions for n-type layered oxyselenide thermoelectric materials.

In this research, we investigate the shrinkage related deformation control for a mask-image-projection-based Stereolithography process (MIP-SL). Based on a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), MIP-SL uses an area-processing approach by dynamically projecting mask images onto a resin surface to selectively cure liquid resin into layers of an object. Consequently, the related additive manufacturing process can be much faster with a lower cost than the laser-based Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) process. However, current commercially available MIP-SL systems are based on Acrylate resins, which have bigger shrinkages than epoxy resins that are widely used in the SLA process. Consequently controlling size accuracy and shape deformation in the MIP-SL process is challenging. To address the problem, we evaluate different image exposing strategies for projection mask images. A mask image planning method and related algorithms have been developed for the MIP-SL process. The planned mask images have been tested by using a commercial MIP-SL machine. The experimental results illustrate that our method can effectively reduce the deformation by as much as 32%. A discussion on the test results and future research directions are also presented.

With the rapid development of network technology, large enterprises have established their own online learning and examination system respectively. However, as those network examination systems are dispersive, closed and disconnected, so various resources are unable to be utilized in a balanced way, which may cause substantial waste of enterprise resources. To solve such a problem, the emerging cloud computing technology with the characteristics of service on demand and dynamic expansion capability, provides a possibility of a shared network examination system with lower cost, named as cloud exam support service. A feasible solution for the application of the cloud computing technology in the network examination, which combines the theoretical analysis, system design and technical implementation, is put forward in this paper. The design, development, and pilot application of the cloud examination system described in this paper show that this study is highly practical, operable, and worthy of application and popularization.

In this issue of Allergy and Rhinology, we are pleased to introduce a new type of article, “Pathology Quiz Case,” to complement the original research articles, case reports, and reviews that we currently publish. This special submission should consist of a case presentation that includes the following elements – 1) patient history, exam and initial case data, 2) pathological description of tissue samples, 3) differential diagnosis, 4) final diagnosis, and 5) a short review of the disease entity and the patient course. This feature should be educational for all trainees and practicing otolaryngologists. In particular, we welcome medical student, resident, and fellow submissions from otolaryngology training programs. Allergy and Rhinology is an open access journal cited in PubMed.
