Clinical Validation of Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity Measurement Using a Multi-Beam Laser Vibrometer: The CARDIS Study.

BACKGROUND: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is the gold standard for noninvasive arterial stiffness assessment, an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, and a potential parameter to guide therapy. However, cfPWV is not routinely measured in clinical practice due to the unavailability of a low-cost, operator-friendly, and independent device. The current study validated a novel laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV)-based measurement of cfPWV against the reference technique. METHODS: In 100 (50 men) hypertensive patients, cfPWV was measured using applanation tonometry (Sphygmocor) and the novel LDV device. This device has 2 handpieces with 6 laser beams each that simultaneously measure vibrations from the skin surface at carotid and femoral sites. Pulse wave velocity is calculated using ECG for the identification of cardiac cycles. An ECG-independent method was also devised. Cardiovascular risk score was calculated for patients between 40 and 75 years old using the WHO risk scoring chart. RESULTS: LDV-based cfPWV correlated significantly with tonometry (r=0.86, P<0.0001 ECG-dependent [cfPWVLDV_ECG] and r=0.80, P<0.001 ECG-independent [cfPWVLDV_w/oECG] methods). Bland-Altman analysis showed nonsignificant bias (0.65 m/s) and acceptable SD (1.27 m/s) between methods. Intraobserver coefficient of variance for LDV was 4.7% (95% CI, 3.0%-5.5%), and interobserver coefficient of variance was 5.87%. CfPWV correlated significantly with CVD risk (r=0.64, P<0.001; r=0.41, P=0.003; and r=0.37, P=0.006 for tonometry, LDV-with, and LDV-without ECG, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrates clinical validity of the LDV device. The LDV provides a simple, noninvasive, operator-independent method to measure cfPWV for assessing arterial stiffness, comparable to the standard existing techniques.

Association between ambient temperature and hospitalizations for urolithiasis in four counties of Ganzhou, China.

We collected meteorological and urolithiasis-related hospitalization data from four counties in Ganzhou City for 2018-2019 and used the DLNM method to assess the lagged and cumulative effects of temperature on urolithiasis hospitalizations and obtain the total effect after meta-combination. Based on the nonlinear association between temperature and urolithiasis hospitalizations, the relative risk of overall high temperature (30℃) was 2.10 (95% CI: 1.07-4.10). No statistically significant difference (p = 0.07) was observed between males (RR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.42-2.94) and females (RR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.09-1.92) for the heat effect, which was higher in the ≥ 60 years age group (RR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.76-5.76) than in the < 60 years age group (p = 0.007). High temperatures increased the risk of hospitalization for urolithiasis in Ganzhou, China, and the risk was greatest for individuals aged 60 and above, with similar risks observed across counties and genders.

Electron-Phonon Coupling-Mediated Ultralong Carrier Lifetime in an All-Inorganic Two-Dimensional Cs2PbI2Cl2 Perovskite: Explanation for the High Antisite Defect Tolerance.

Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskite are appealing candidates for applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics, but their energy conversion efficiency is severely limited by nonradiative electron-hole recombination. In most investigations, point defects with deep defect levels and deep charge-state transition levels in the band gap are treated as the carrier recombination centers. For the all-inorganic 2D Css 2PbI2Cl2, the IPb antisite defect is the most likely to form and cause nonradiative electron-hole recombination. By using density functional theory and ab initio nonradiative molecular dynamics calculations, we found that the IPb defect can introduce the deep acceptor and donor levels into the band gap. Because electron-phonon coupling gives rise to weak nonadiabatic coupling and rapid loss of electronic coherence, those levels lead to a reduction of the carrier loss and the prolongation of the excited-state carrier lifetime, thereby enhancing the photoelectric and defect tolerance properties of the Cs2PbI2Cl2 material. These results could deepen the understanding of the chemistry of defects and carrier dynamics in perovskite materials.

Combined Replacement of Fishmeal and Fish Oil by Poultry Byproduct Meal and Mixed Oil: Effects on the Growth Performance, Body Composition, and Muscle Quality of Tiger Puffer.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combined replacement of fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) with poultry byproduct meal (PBM) and mixed oil (MO, poultry oil: coconut oil = 1 : 1) on growth performance, body composition and muscle quality of tiger puffer (Takifugu rubripes). Fish with an average initial body weight of 14.29 g were selected for the feeding experiment. FM accounting for 0%, 5%, and 10% of the diet was replaced by PBM. For each grade of FM replacement, 5% FO or MO was used as added oil. The six experimental diets were designated as FO-FM, MO-FM, FO-5PBM, MO-5PBM, FO-10PBM, and MO-10PBM, respectively. Each treatment was performed in triplicate with 30 fish per replicate. The feeding period was 45 days. There was no significant difference in growth performance among the groups. Dietary supplementation of both PBM and MO had marginal effects on whole-fish proximate composition, except that dietary MO supplementation significantly increased the liver moisture content. In serum, there were no significant differences in contents of triglyceride, total cholesterol, total bile acid, and protein carbonyl among groups, but the malondialdehyde content was reduced by MO. The fatty acid composition in fish mirrored those in the diets, but the omega-3 sparing effects of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid in MO can still be observed. Dietary PBM and MO had marginal effects on free amino acid composition and texture of fish muscle, but exerted complicated effects on the muscle volatile flavor compound composition. In conclusion, combined fishmeal (10% of the diet) and fish oil (5% of the diet) replacement with poultry byproduct and mixed oil (poultry oil + coconut oil) had no adverse effects on the growth performance and body proximate composition of farmed tiger puffer. However, these replacements changed the muscle flavor compound profile.

Enhancing Multichannel Laser-Doppler Vibrometry Signals with Application to (Carotid-Femoral) Pulse Transit Time Estimation.

Pulse-wave velocity (PWV) can be used to quantify arterial stiffness, allowing for a diagnosis of this condition. Multi-beam laser-doppler vibrometry offers a cheap, non-invasive and user-friendly alternative to measuring PWV, and its feasibility has been previously demonstrated in the H2020 project CARDIS. The two handpieces of the prototype CARDIS device measure skin displacement above main arteries at two different sites, yielding an estimate of the pulse-transit time (PTT) and, consequently, PWV. The presence of multiple beams (channels) on each handpiece can be used to enhance the underlying signal, improving the quality of the signal for PTT estimation and further analysis. We propose two methods for multi-channel LDV data processing: beamforming and beamforming-driven ICA. Beamforming is done by an SNR-weighted linear combination of the time-aligned channels, where the SNR is blindly estimated from the signal statistics. ICA uses the beamformer to resolve its inherent permutation and scale ambiguities. Both methods yield a single enhanced signal at each handpiece, where spurious peaks in the individual channels as well as stochastic noise are well suppressed in the output. Using the enhanced signals yields individual PTT estimates with a low spread compared to the baseline approach. While the enhancement is introduced in the context of PTT estimation, the approaches can be used to enhance signals in other biomedical applications of multi-channel LDV as well.

On-chip multi-beam frequency shifter through sideband separation.

In this paper, we introduce a novel method to realize a multi-beam optical frequency shifting component for photonic integrated circuits, utilizing an array of parallel optical modulators and a free-propagation region (FPR), such as a slab waveguide-based star coupler. This component generates multiple optical beams with different frequency shifts, making it suitable for various systems, such as multi-beam laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV). We thoroughly elaborate on the working principle of the component through theoretical analysis and demonstrate that by applying periodic wave-like modulation in the modulator array, the discrete harmonic content of the light can be selectively directed to different outputs based on the delay between consecutive modulators. A design comprising a 16-element modulator array and 5 outputs will be presented. Simulations show that this design can generate and collect 5 different harmonics (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) in the different outputs with a side band suppression ratio of 20 dB to 30 dB for each output. Our proposed design is just one possibility and the component can be modified and optimized for specific applications.

Preparation and Optical Properties of Nd:Bi2Ti2O7 Laser Crystal with Disordered Structure and Attractive Multiwavelength Emission Characteristics.

Laser crystals with multiwavelength emission characteristics are potential light sources for terahertz radiation. Herein, the pure and Nd-doped Bi2Ti2O7 (BTO) laser crystals with sizes up to 16 × 13 × 5 mm3 were successfully grown using the flux method in the KF-B2O3-CaBi4Ti4O15 growth system. The crystal structure, ideal morphology, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties, optical transmission and Raman spectra, refractive index, absorption, and fluorescence spectra, as well as fluorescence lifetimes, were systematically studied. Besides, the spectral parameters of Nd3+ ions in the BTO crystal were systematically calculated based on the Judd-Ofelt theory. The Nd:BTO crystal has a wide transmittance range (0.44-7.30 µm), a small coefficient of thermal expansion (5.80 × 10-6 K-1), and a large absorption full width at half-maximum (fwhm) (31.2 nm) at around ∼804 nm, making it more potential for use in high-power laser systems. Moreover, fluorescence spectra show four emission peaks at 1054, 1062, 1104, and 1112 nm. The strong multiwavelength emission property makes Nd:BTO a promising laser crystal, serving as a potential light source for terahertz radiation.

A Compensation Method for Nonlinearity Errors in Optical Interferometry.

Optical coherent detection is widely used for highly sensitive sensing applications, but nonlinearity issues pose challenges in accurately interpreting the system outputs. Most existing compensation methods require access to raw measurement data, making them not useful when only demodulated data are available. In this study, we propose a compensation method designed for direct application to demodulated data, effectively addressing the 1st and 2nd-order nonlinearities in both homodyne and heterodyne systems. The approach involves segmenting the distorted signal, fitting and removing baselines in each section, and averaging the resulting distortions to obtain precise distortion shapes. These shapes are then used to retrieve compensation parameters. Simulation shows that the proposed method can effectively reduce the deviation caused by the nonlinearities without using the raw data. Experimental results from a silicon-photonics-based homodyne laser Doppler vibrometry prove that this method has a similar performance as the conventional Heydemann correction method.

Ferroelectric and strain-tuned MoSe2/Bi2O2Se van der Waals heterostructure with band alignment evolution.

The vertically stacked two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure (2D vdWH) provides a unique platform for integrating distinctive properties of various 2D materials by functionalizing the interfacial interaction and regulating its band alignment. Herein, we theoretically propose a new MoSe2/Bi2O2Se vdWH material, in which a zigzag-zipper structure of the Bi2O2Se monolayer is constructed to model its ferroelectric polarization and maintain a small interlayer mismatch with MoSe2. The results show a typical unipolar barrier structure with a large band offset in the conduction band and nearly zero offset in the valence band of MoSe2/Bi2O2Se when the ferroelectric polarization of Bi2O2Se is back to MoSe2, in which the electron migration is blocked and holes can migrate unimpeded. It is also found that the band alignment lies between the type-I and type-II heterostructures and band offsets can be flexibly modulated under the joint action of ferroelectric polarization of Bi2O2Se and in-plane biaxial tensile and compressive strains. This work would facilitate the development of multifunctional devices based on the MoSe2/Bi2O2Se heterostructure material.

Synergistic Cooperation of Zn(002) Texture and Amorphous Zinc Phosphate for Dendrite-Free Zn Anodes.

Zn anodes of aqueous Zn metal batteries face challenges from dendrite growth and side reactions. Building Zn(002) texture mitigates the issues but does not eradicate them. Zn(002) still faces severe challenges from corrosive electrolytes and dendrite growth, especially after hundreds of cycles. Therefore, it is necessary to have a passivation layer covering Zn(002). Here, Zn(002) texture and surface coating are achieved on Zn foils by an one-step annealing process, as demonstrated by ZnS, ZnSe, ZnF2, Zn3(PO4)2 (ZPO), etc. Using ZPO as a model, the coupling between surface coating and Zn(002) is illustrated in terms of dendrite-suppressing ability and diffusion energy barrier of Zn2+. The modified Zn foils (Zn(002)@ZPO) exhibit the excellent electrochemical performance, far superior to Zn(002) or ZPO alone. In the full cells, the performance is greatly improved even under harsh conditions, i.e., high areal capacity and limited Zn resource. This work achieves crystal engineering and surface coating on Zn anodes simultaneously and discloses the in-depth insights about the synergy of crystal orientation and passivation layers.

Dietary Cholesterol Supplementation Inhibits the Steroid Biosynthesis but Does Not Affect the Cholesterol Transport in Two Marine Teleosts: A Hepatic Transcriptome Study.

Cholesterol has been used as additive in fish feeds due to the reduced use of fish meal and fish oil. In order to evaluate the effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation (D-CHO-S) on fish physiology, a liver transcriptome analysis was performed following a feeding experiment on turbot and tiger puffer with different levels of dietary cholesterol. The control diet contained 30% fish meal (0% fish oil) without cholesterol supplementation, while the treatment diet was supplemented with 1.0% cholesterol (CHO-1.0). A total of 722 and 581 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between the dietary groups were observed in turbot and tiger puffer, respectively. These DEG were primarily enriched in signaling pathways related to steroid synthesis and lipid metabolism. In general, D-CHO-S downregulated the steroid synthesis in both turbot and tiger puffer. Msmo1, lss, dhcr24, and nsdhl might play key roles in the steroid synthesis in these two fish species. Gene expressions related to cholesterol transport (npc1l1, abca1, abcg1, abcg2, abcg5, abcg8, abcb11a, and abcb11b) in the liver and intestine were also extensively investigated by qRT-PCR. However, the results suggest that D-CHO-S rarely affected the cholesterol transport in both species. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network constructed on steroid biosynthesis-related DEG showed that in turbot, Msmo1, Lss, Nsdhl, Ebp, Hsd17b7, Fdft1, and Dhcr7 had high intermediary centrality in the dietary regulation of steroid synthesis. In conclusion, in both turbot and tiger puffer, the supplementation of dietary cholesterol inhibits the steroid metabolism but does not affect the cholesterol transport.

Dietary Cholesterol Differentially Regulates the Muscle Lipidomics of Farmed Turbot and Tiger Puffer.

Exogenous cholesterol has been supplemented into aqua-feeds due to the reduced proportions of fishmeal and fish oil. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation on the muscle lipidomics of two marine fish species, turbot and tiger puffer. A 70-day feeding trial was conducted, where two low-fishmeal diets supplemented with 0 or 1% cholesterol were used. The lipidomic analysis with targeted tandem mass spectrometry showed that, in turbot, a total of 49 individual lipids exhibited significant differences in their abundance in response to dietary cholesterol, whereas the number was 30 for tiger puffer. Dietary cholesterol up-regulated the abundance of cholesterol and cholesterol ester in both species. In turbot, the dietary cholesterol also increased the abundance of triacylglycerol and acylcarnitine, whereas in tiger puffer, it primarily regulated the abundance of phospholipids and BMP. This was the first time the responses of marine fish muscle lipidomics to dietary cholesterol supplementation have been investigated.

Intrinsic Defects and the Inducing Conduction Mechanism of Langasite-Type High-Temperature Piezoelectric Crystals.

Increasing the crystal resistivity is critically important for enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio and improving the sensing capability of high-temperature piezoelectric sensors based on langasite-type crystals. The resistivity of structural ordered langasite-type crystals is much higher compared to that of the disordered crystals. Here, we selected structural ordered Ca3TaGa3Si2O14 (CTGS) and disordered La3Ga5SiO14 (LGS) as representatives to investigate the microscopic conduction mechanism and further reveal the origin of the different resistivities of the ordered and disordered langasite-type crystals at elevated temperatures. By combining first-principles calculations and experimental investigations, we found that the different conductivity behaviors of the ordered and disordered crystals originate from different types of point defects formed in the crystal and their different contributions to the conductivity. For the disordered LGS crystal, the oxygen vacancies are apt to be formed at high temperatures, promoting the transition of valence electrons and yielding high conductivity. For the ordered CTGS crystal, the dominant TaGa antisite defects can introduce an electron-hole recombination center in the electronic band gap, significantly shortening the carrier lifetime and thus reducing the conductivity. This provides effective guidance to improve the resistivity performance of langasite-type crystals at high temperatures by optimizing the experimental conditions, such as oxygen atmosphere treatment, antisite defect modification, etc.

Regulating the Electronic Structure of Freestanding Graphene on SiC by Ge/Sn Intercalation: A Theoretical Study.

The intrinsic n-type of epitaxial graphene on SiC substrate limits its applications in microelectronic devices, and it is thus vital to modulate and achieve p-type and charge-neutral graphene. The main groups of metal intercalations, such as Ge and Sn, are found to be excellent candidates to achieve this goal based on the first-principle calculation results. They can modulate the conduction type of graphene via intercalation coverages and bring out interesting magnetic properties to the entire intercalation structures without inducing magnetism to graphene, which is superior to the transition metal intercalations, such as Fe and Mn. It is found that the Ge intercalation leads to ambipolar doping of graphene, and the p-type graphene can only be obtained when forming the Ge adatom between Ge layer and graphene. Charge-neutral graphene can be achieved under high Sn intercalation coverage (7/8 bilayer) owing to the significantly increased distance between graphene and deformed Sn intercalation. These findings would open up an avenue for developing novel graphene-based spintronic and electric devices on SiC substrate.

Density Functional Theory Study of the Point Defects on KDP (100) and (101) Surfaces.

Surface defects are usually associated with the formation of other forms of expansion defects in crystals, which have an impact on the crystals' growth quality and optical properties. Thereby, the structure, stability, and electronic structure of the hydrogen and oxygen vacancy defects (VH and VO) on the (100) and (101) growth surfaces of KDP crystals were studied by using density functional theory. The effects of acidic and alkaline environments on the structure and properties of surface defects were also discussed. It has been found that the considered vacancy defects have different properties on the (100) and (101) surfaces, especially those that have been reported in the bulk KDP crystals. The (100) surface has a strong tolerance for surface VH and VO defects, while the VO defect causes a large lattice relaxation on the (101) surface and introduces a deep defect level in the band gap, which damages the optical properties of KDP crystals. In addition, the results show that the acidic environment is conducive to the repair of the VH defects on the surface and can eliminate the defect states introduced by the surface VO defects, which is conducive to improving the quality of the crystal surface and reducing the defect density. Our study opens up a new way to understand the structure and properties of surface defects in KDP crystals, which are different from the bulk phase, and also provides a theoretical basis for experimentally regulating the surface defects in KDP crystals through an acidic environment.

Interspace and Vacancy Modulation: Promoting the Zinc Storage of an Alcohol-Based Organic-Inorganic Cathode in a Water-Organic Electrolyte.

Expanding interspace and introducing vacancies are desired to promote the mobility of Zn ions and unlock the inactive sites of layered cathodes. However, this two-point modulation has not yet been achieved simultaneously in vanadium phosphate. Here, a strategy is proposed for fabricating an alcohol-based organic-inorganic hybrid material, VO1- x PO4 ·0.56C6 H14 O4 , to realize the conjoint modulation of the d-interspace and oxygen vacancies. Peculiar triglycol molecules with an inclined orientation in the interlayer also boost the improvement in the conversion rate of V5+ to V4+ and the intensity of the PO bond. Their synergism can ensure steerable adjustment for intercalation kinetics and electron transport, as well as realize high chemical reactivity and redox-center optimization, leading to at least 200% increase in capacity. Using a water-organic electrolyte, the designed Zn-ion batteries with an ultrahigh-rate profile deliver a long-term durability (fivefold greater than pristine material) and an excellent energy density of ≈142 Wh kg-1 (including masses of cathode and anode), thereby substantially outstripping most of the recently reported state-of-the-art zinc-ion batteries. This work proves the feasibility to realize the two-point modulation by using organic intercalants for exploiting high-performance new 2D materials.

Miniaturization of Laser Doppler Vibrometers-A Review.

Laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) is a non-contact vibration measurement technique based on the Doppler effect of the reflected laser beam. Thanks to its feature of high resolution and flexibility, LDV has been used in many different fields today. The miniaturization of the LDV systems is one important development direction for the current LDV systems that can enable many new applications. In this paper, we will review the state-of-the-art method on LDV miniaturization. Systems based on three miniaturization techniques will be discussed: photonic integrated circuit (PIC), self-mixing, and micro-electrochemical systems (MEMS). We will explain the basics of these techniques and summarize the reported miniaturized LDV systems. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques will also be compared and discussed.

Regulation of Electronic Structures to Boost Efficient Nitrogen Fixation: Synergistic Effects between Transition Metals and Boron Nanotubes.

Borophene possesses outstanding physical and chemical properties and thus demonstrates great application potential in catalysis. However, the lack of a controllable strategy for regulating the electronic structures of borophene for efficient catalysis limits the exploration of this material for a "black-box" model. Herein, taking advantage of the synergistic effects between metals and boron nanotubes (BNT), we report a core-shell structure that encapsulates early transition-metal nanowires into BNT (TMs@BNT) to improve the inherent electronic structures of primitive borophene for an efficient electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR). These filled BNT with disconnected π conjugation and vacant boron (B) pz orbitals enable the regulation of electronic states of B atoms in spatial extent and occupancy that has a great effect on the adsorption strength of intermediates. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the *N2H adsorption energy (ΔE*N2H) is strongly correlated with the intrinsic activity trends and that the variation of ΔE*N2H is attributed to the distribution of 2p states and charge of B atoms. Finally, we utilize the coupling of the d 2p states between B atoms and metals to obtain a quantitative explanation for synergistic effects and conclude that metals with a lower d-band center (εTM d) raise the average 2p state energy (ε̅2p) of B through two-level quantum coupling, which is the physical origin of this interaction. Therefore, two candidates (Mo@BNT and W@BNT) with lower εTM d are screened, benefiting from their high eNRR activity (limiting potentials of -0.75 and -0.77 V, respectively) and high selectivity. This work explores the activity origin, constructs a bridge between electronic structures and activity trends, and paves the way for future eNRR studies.

Pinning and Anharmonic Phonon Effect of Quasi-Free-Standing Bilayer Epitaxial Graphene on SiC.

Epitaxial graphene on SiC without substrate interaction is viewed as one of the most promising two-dimensional (2D) materials in the microelectronics field. In this study, quasi-free-standing bilayer epitaxial graphene (QFSBEG) on SiC was fabricated by H2 intercalation under different time periods, and the temperature-dependent Raman spectra were recorded to evaluate the intrinsic structural difference generated by H2 time duration. The G peak thermal lineshift rates dω/dT showed that the H2 intercalation significantly weakened the pinning effect in epitaxial graphene. Furthermore, the G peak dω/dT value showed a perspicuous pinning effect disparity of QFSBEG samples. Additionally, the anharmonic phonon effect was investigated from the Raman lineshift of peaks. The physical mechanism responsible for dominating the G-mode temperature-dependent behavior among samples with different substrate coupling effects was elucidated. The phonon decay process of different samples was compared as the temperature increased. The evolution from in situ grown graphene to QFSBEG was determined. This study will expand the understanding of QFSBEG and pave a new way for its fabrication.

Growth, Optical, and Spectroscopic Properties of Pure and Nd3+-Doped GdSr3(PO4)3 Crystals with Disordered Structure.

Disordered crystals have attracted immense attention for the generation of ultrashort laser pulses due to their good thermomechanical characteristics and wide emission bandwidths. In this work, a Gd-based orthophosphate crystal, GdSr3(PO4)3, (GSP), and a Nd3+-doped GdSr3(PO4)3 crystal, (Nd:GSP), were obtained by the Czochralski method. The crystal structure, optical properties, electronic band structure, laser damage threshold, and hardness of the GSP crystal were comprehensively investigated. It exhibited a disordered structure due to the random distribution of Sr and Gd atoms in the same Wyckoff site, which caused inhomogeneous spectral broadening. Additionally, it exhibited a short UV absorption cutoff edge (<200 nm), a large band gap (5.81 eV), and a high laser damage threshold (∼1850 MW/cm2). The spectral properties and Judd-Ofelt calculations of the Nd:GSP crystals were analyzed. A wide absorption band at 803 nm, with a full width at half-maximum value of 20 nm, makes the Nd:GSP crystal suitable for the efficient pumping of AlGaAs laser diodes. Sub-100-fs pulses could be supported by its 25 nm emission bandwidth. Hence, the GSP crystal could be a promising disordered crystal laser matrix.
