Bioinspired electrically stable, optically tunable thermal management electronic skin via interfacial self-assembly.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and serves vital functions such as sensation, thermal management, and protection. While electronic skin (E-skin) has made significant progress in sensory functions, achieving adaptive thermal management akin to human skin has remained a challenge. Drawing inspiration from squid skin, we have developed a hybrid electronic-photonic skin (hEP-skin) using an elastomer semi-embedded with aligned silver nanowires through interfacial self-assembly. With mechanically adjustable optical properties, the hEP-skin demonstrates adaptive thermal management abilities, warming in the range of +3.5°C for heat preservation and cooling in the range of -4.2°C for passive cooling. Furthermore, it exhibits an ultra-stable high electrical conductivity of âˆ¼4.5×104 S/cm, even under stretching, bending or torsional deformations over 10,000 cycles. As a proof of demonstration, the hEP-skin successfully integrates stretchable light-emitting electronic skin with adaptive thermal management photonic skin.

[Risk Assessment of Malaria in Libo County, Guizhou Province].

Data concerning malaria endemic situation during 2006-2012 and data concerning malaria transmission risk and malaria elimination capacity during 2010-2012 were collected. The results showed that during 2006-2012, malaria in Libo County was predominated by vivax malaria with the transmission vector of Anopheles sinensis, and malaria incidence declined year by year（3.72/10 000, 3.56/10 000, 5.76/10 000, 4.34/10 000, 2.54/10 000, 1.14/10 000, and 0, respectively）. In the residents surveyed during 2010-2012, >2% received blood test, 82.9%（29/35） received standard therapy, 93.3%（651/698）had usage of insect-resistant facilities, and 440 received medical training, with an awareness rate of 92.3%（738/800）in the residents. The malaria transmission risk index of Anopheles mosquito was 2, the area risk value was 10, and the malaria transmission risk index was 20, indicating a moderately-low level of risk.
