How Do Human-Animal Emotional Relationships Influence Public Perceptions of Animal Use?
Authors: Cox Laura , Montrose Tamara
Published: April 2016

Human-animal emotional relationships have a complicated interplay with public perceptions of the morality of animal use. Humans may build emotional relationships with companion species. These species are not usually intensively farmed in the United Kingdom, but they may be utilized during animal experimentation. From a relational ethical standpoint, the public may therefore perceive animal experimentation as being less acceptable than intensive farming. This study aimed to determine whether human-animal emotional relationships affect public attitudes regarding use of animals in intensive farming and research. Responding to an online questionnaire, British citizens (N = 85) rated their agreement with 20 statements relating to their acceptance of intensive farming and animal experimentation, scientific research involving a given species (e.g., an animal which either is or is not typically associated with the companion context), killing free-living animals, and consuming animals existing within companion and farming contexts. Positive correlations were found between public acceptance of intensive farming and animal experimentation, such that acceptance of animal experimentation corresponded with acceptance of intensive farming practices. This finding disproved our theory that the British public may perceive animal experimentation as less acceptable than intensive farming due to the use of companion species in scientific research. Public acceptance of animal experimentation also did not significantly differ between that involving companion or noncompanion species. However, respondents were more accepting of the consumption of a typical farmed animal raised for meat purposes than consuming an animal if it had been raised in a companion context or consuming a typical companion species raised in either a farmed or companion context. These findings illustrate that the human-animal relationship can influence (but only to a degree) public perceptions of the morality of animal use.
"Higher" and "Lower" Political Animals: A Critical Analysis of Aristotle’s Account of the Political Animal
Authors: Abbate Cheryl E.
Published: April 2016

While Aristotle’s proposition that "Man is by nature a political animal" is often assumed to entail that, according to Aristotle, nonhuman animals are not political, some Aristotelian scholars suggest that Aristotle is only committed to the claim that man is more of a political animal than any other nonhuman animal. I argue that even this thesis is problematic, as contemporary research in cognitive ethology reveals that many social nonhuman mammals have demonstrated that they are, in fact, political in the Aristotelian sense, as they possess a sense of both general and special justice. Keeping this in mind, I conclude that some nonhuman animal communities very well might be identified as highly political communities, leading us to question whether it is really the case that humans are more political than socially complex, group-living nonhuman animals.
Grounded in Love: A Theistic Account of Animal Rights
Authors: Cahill Jonathan M.
Published: April 2016

This article attempts to articulate a grounding of animal rights based on inherent worth as the most fitting way to draw attention to the moral status of animals. The primary objective is to identify the proper grounds of those rights. To that end, two influential philosophical accounts of animal rights are first surveyed: Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach and Tom Regan’s deontological argument. These are followed by two theistic accounts of rights put forth by Andrew Linzey and Nicholas Wolterstorff. It is argued that the latter two complementary accounts based on inherent worth bestowed by God develop a stronger grounding than versions grounded on intrinsic capacities.
An Opportunity Preempted: Kim Socha’s Atheism Versus Religious Animal Liberationists
Authors: Williams Cassandra
Published: April 2016

This article provides a review and critique of Animal Liberation and Atheism: Dismantling the Procrustean Bed by English professor, activist, and avowed political atheist Kim Socha. Socha engages in a twofold argument as she makes the case for animal liberation as a natural imperative of atheism. On the one hand, she denounces religious arguments for animal liberation as dead ends that rely on intellectual gymnastics and present what is actually secular thinking in religious guise. On the other hand, she identifies contamination of atheist’s thinking by religious perspectives, primarily hierarchy, as the root of the failure of atheists to embrace animal liberation. Methodological difficulties are identified and critical questions raised in response to both the premises and conclusions of the work.
White Men Playing a Black Man’s Game: Basketball’s "Great White Hopes" of the 1970s
Authors: Criblez Adam J.
Published: April 2016

Since the retirement of Larry Bird in 1992 as perhaps the most celebrated white basketball player in the history of the sport, basketball fans and the media have dubbed countless white-skinned players as "the next Larry Bird." Yet this search for a fair-skinned basketball savior was not a phenomenon unique to the nineties or even one that originated in 1979 when Bird entered the National Basketball Association. In fact, Bird’s arrival merely positioned him next in a long line of "Great White Hopes" from the 1970s, an era characterized by the contest between African Americans empowered by the civil rights movement and whites threatened by a perceived rise in black cultural awareness. From Bill Bradley to Bill Walton, white NBA fans sought fair-skinned heroes. But many of these "Great White Hopes" failed to live up to the lofty expectations as white men playing a black man’s game.
Photoshop Teaches With(out) You: Actant Agencies and Non-Human Pedagogy
Authors: Knochel Aaron D.
Published: April 2016

Visual technologies are important in art education learning spaces, but are too often seen as value-neutral instruments that accomplish visual techniques and graphic manipulations. Using actor-network theory, this research investigates the non-human pedagogy of Adobe Photoshop software. Non-human pedagogy is perceived through actant agency where symmetry between humans and non-humans in the actor-network generates translations that are durable over time. Durable translations are analyzed as expressions of pedagogy in the ways that they create access hubs in how learners understand, become informed, and create with Photoshop. Actant agency and non-human pedagogy are framed through concepts such as modest designers and the live image to ask critical questions pertaining to visual arts pedagogy and the use of software.
Effect of Biofertilizer on Growth, Yield and Bioactive Component of Plumbago zeylanica (Lead Wort)
Authors: Patel Hetal D. , Krishnamurthy Ramar , Azeez Musibau A.
Published: April 2016

A comparative study on effect of chemical fertilizer and biofertiliser on Plumbago zeylanica for growth, yield and bioactive component was conducted at Bardoli (district-Surat), India between 2012 and 2013 using Random Block Design method and monthly observation of growth parameters. Application of biofertiliser Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Phosphate solubilizing Bacteria and mixture of Aza + Azo + PSB increased plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, length of root, fresh weight, dry weight and bioactive component (plumbagin). Highest effect on height (91.33±10.13) of plant was obtained with PSB applied biofertiliser whereas the number of branches (14.67±0.47) and number of leaves (25.60±13.17) was obtained with Azospirillum biofertilizer application. The length PSB (33.33±1.32), fresh weight (26.44±1.32) and dry weight of roots (24.66±1.13) was realized with application of mixture of Aza + Azo + PSB. The bioactive component (plumbagin) was high with application of Azospirillum (0.026%w/w) using HPLC. The results of this study suggest that biofertiliser have the potential to increase the growth, yield and bioactive component of Plumbago zeylanica.
Seasonal Climate Prediction and Adaptation Using Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Agriculture Systems in Southern Africa: A Review
Authors: Jiri Obert , Mafongoya Paramu L. , Mubaya Chipo , Mafongoya Owen
Published: April 2016

Erratic rainfall and increasing temperature is rapidly emerging as one of the most serious global problems affecting many sectors in the world. It is considered to be one of the most serious threats to sustainable development with adverse impact on environment, human health, food security, economic activities, natural resources and physical infrastructure. Southern Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the world, particularly because of widespread poverty, recurrent droughts, inequitable land distribution, over-dependence on rain-fed agriculture and low adaptive capacity. Yet rural farmers in southern Africa have managed to survive the vagaries of climate change over the years. This review reveals that these rural farmers can use indigenous knowledge to cope and adapt to climate change. Availability and access to scientific weather information to make cropping and other decisions at the local level remain key issues to usage of climatic data by rural farmers. On the other hand, indigenous knowledge is what rural farmers have been using but is also becoming unreliable due to climate change and variability. Integration of indigenous knowledge and scientific seasonal forecast seems to be a key possible thrust to reduce vulnerability, enhance resilience of rural farmers and increase their adaptive capacity.
Modification of American Institute of Nutrition Rat Diet in Mammary Cancer Research
Authors: Al-Sayyed Hiba F. , Takruri Hamed R.
Published: April 2016

This research was performed to test the effect of date palm fruit (Phoenix datylifera L.) of (Al-Barhi) type at the two maturity stages “Rutab” and “Tamr” on the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary cancer using the rat model. The experimental diets included soybean group as a control group since soybean is known to be protective against mammary cancer.

The diets, except for the soybean diet, were a modification of the American Institute of Nutrition-1993 (AIN-93) diet that is free of any soybean products. Soybean oil was replaced by a mixture of canola and sunflower oils in amounts that give ratios of w-6:w-3 fatty acids and PUFA:SFA similar to those of the AIN-93 diet which are based on soybean oil namely 7.5:1.0 and 4.0:1.0 respectively.

It is concluded that in DMBA-induced mammary cancer experiments, a mixture of canola and sunflower oils in a ratio of 0.6:1.0 (v/v) canola oil:sunflower oil would replace soybean oil.
Diagnosing Maize Growth for Determination of Optimum Fertilizer Application Time in Northern Malawi
Authors: Matsui Naohiro , Nakata Koji , Cornelius Chisambi , Macdonald Moyo
Published: April 2016

Plant diagnosis was proven to be useful for predicting maize growth condition. The number of days to male flowering and that to silk emergence differed among the four sites, reflecting differences in growth condition. Maize stalk weight decreased when the number of days to male flowering exceeded 65. Two growth indexes (GIs), plant height and stem diameter, well predicted maize fresh weight as expressed by the equation: Fresh weight = -0.013 + 1.26 × (Plant height × Stem diameter) (r2 = 0.57). Those two parameters changed with the growth stage according to the maize growth condition. GI monitoring revealed that week 4 (W4) or week 8 (W8) after germination was the determinant of overall maize growth. Leaf color also changed in the course of growth; leaf color at W4 was the best indicator of maize grain yield. Such plant diagnosis parameters as GI and leaf color are useful for the determination of optimum fertilizer application time.
Rereading Moscow Conceptualism
Authors: Nicholas Mary A.
Published: April 2016

The most important Russian artistic movement of the end of the twentieth century, Moscow conceptualism has been described as sectarian, esoteric, and self-absorbed, with an affinity for substituting longwinded commentaries for visual images. Such definitions, while compelling for some participants in the movement, fail to describe adequately the work of a number of unofficial Moscow artists from the late Soviet period, particularly the so-called second generation of conceptualists. This is partly the result of a critical tendency to misconstrue the role words actually play in the work of second-generation artists and to conflate their use of painted text with that of other Moscow conceptualists. Closer attention to the kinds of texts these artists include in their pictorial creation and their intent in doing so suggests that they represent a significant but understudied development in this still misunderstood group.
Yugoslav Protest: Student Rebellion in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Sarajevo in 1968
Authors: Fichter Madigan
Published: April 2016

In June 1968, Yugoslav university students launched strikes and demonstrations condemning police brutality and university conditions and critiquing the apparent failure of self-managing socialism. The "June events" show that the demonstrators were active participants in a global movement but also heavily influenced by local context, practices, and ideas. Whereas Yugoslav youth engaged with, drew from, and ignored the activities of other student movements, authorities reacted to youth rebellion by insisting that the majority of the protesters were showing support for state policies and that the most incorrigible were influenced by, or agents of, foreign entities. Thus, the state reproduced an artificially rigid boundary between east and west as well as between good socialist youth and enemy agents. This article decenters the west as the standard of youth rebellion, considering it in conjunction with but not in comparison to Yugoslavia. It approaches the Cold War world as characterized by the transfer of ideas and practices, not just the clash of civilizations.

Os critérios de inclusão (artigos científicos completos, independentes do
ano, em todas as áreas e bases do periódico, nos idiomas português, inglês
e espanhol) e de exclusão (literatura cinzenta, violência sexual em adultos,
estudos em animais não humanos). Os dados mostraram que os estudos se
concentraram nas vítimas, sobretudo no gênero feminino. Nos trabalhos
com agressores, além da baixa publicação científica, a ênfase estava no
gênero masculino.
Revisão sistemática de estudos sobre os aspectos escolares relacionados ao cometimento de delitos
Authors: Silva Jorge Luiz da , Bazon Marina Rezende
Published: April 2016

Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura nacional e internacional
norteada pelo objetivo de investigar a relação entre escolarização e conduta
infracional na adolescência. Foram consultadas duas bases de dados (Web
of Science e LILACS) e a biblioteca Scielo, no período de 2009 a 2013. Os
resultados oriundos da análise dos 25 artigos recuperados foram sintetizados
em cinco categorias temáticas e evidenciaram a complexidade da interface
existente entre os temas investigados, denotando a existência de uma
natureza sequencial e complementar entre as trajetórias de desenvolvimento
pessoal, social e escolar relacionadas à conduta infracional. Como ficou
evidenciado que uma experiência escolar negativa se configura como um
marco importante para a entrada ou para o agravamento da conduta delituosa
na adolescência. Ressalta-se a necessidade de realização de mais estudos no
contexto nacional, em razão da escassez de produções desenvolvidas acerca
dessa temática no contexto sociocultural brasileiro.
Resiliência em crianças acolhidas: suas percepções sobre as adversidades
Authors: Conzatti Rosemara , Mosmann Clarisse
Published: April 2016

Resiliência em Psicologia envolve diferentes aspectos e capacidades das
pessoas de superar obstáculos, sendo considerado um fator relevante a ser
estudado no contexto do acolhimento institucional. Este estudo de caráter
exploratório, descritivo, com delineamento misto, objetivou analisar
a relação entre resiliência e fatores de risco e proteção na percepção de
crianças em acolhimento institucional. Foi realizado em duas etapas, sendo
a primeira por meio de uma escala de resiliência e a segunda, de uma
entrevista semiestruturada com dez crianças entre 6 e 12 anos acolhidas na
cidade de Porto Alegre. Os resultados apontaram que, apesar de o processo
de acolhimento institucional representar risco, foram constatados altos
níveis de resiliência. Em seus discursos, eles valorizaram os mecanismos
de proteção disponíveis, demonstrando lidar de forma adaptativa com
as adversidades. Concluiu-se que os mecanismos de proteção podem ser
explorados para promover a resiliência como fator de saúde mental.

The advent of targeted therapy in lung cancer has heralded a paradigm shift in the practice of cytopathology with the need for accurately subtyping lung carcinoma, as well as providing adequate material for molecular studies, to help guide clinical and therapeutic decisions. The variety and versatility of cytologic-specimen preparations offer significant advantages to molecular testing; however, they frequently remain underused. Therefore, evaluating the utility and adequacy of cytologic specimens is critical, not only from a lung cancer diagnosis standpoint but also for the myriad ancillary studies that are necessary to provide appropriate clinical management. A large fraction of lung cancers are diagnosed by aspiration or exfoliative cytology specimens, and thus, optimizing strategies to triage and best use the tissue for diagnosis and biomarker studies forms a critical component of lung cancer management. This review focuses on the opportunities and challenges of using cytologic specimens for molecular diagnosis of lung cancer and the role of cytopathology in the molecular era.

Published: April 2016

Two 3D Imaging Systems Performance Evaluation Workshops have been held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) the first in 2003 and the second in 2005. These workshops were conducted in an effort to determine the need for standard test methods for evaluating 3D imaging systems (previously referred to as LADAR systems), to determine the types of measurements and test methods required, to provide a forum to discuss the on-going efforts in this area, and to initiate the process towards standardization of these test methods or protocols. To continue the effort, NIST conducted a 3rd Workshop on the Performance Evaluation of 3D Imaging systems on March 2-3, 2006. This report presents the proceedings from the third workshop.
L’archivistique au Brésil : points de repère
Authors: Da Silva Prado Daniela
Published: April 2016

Daniela Da Silva Prado nous présente dans son article un historique de l’archivistique brésilienne et nous dresse des parallèles entre cette dernière et les pratiques québécoises en matière d’archives.

Elle survole dans un premier temps l’évolution de l’archivistique brésilienne de sa naissance, lors du transfert de la cour portugaise à Rio de Janeiro au début du XIXesiècle, jusqu’à ses derniers développements dans un contexte de dictature militaire au cours de la deuxième moitié du XXesiècle. Elle nous fait part ensuite des initiatives plus récentes, principalement du point de vue législatif, destinées entre autres à rebâtir la mémoire du pays, à la suite de cette dictature. Elle dresse également le portrait du développement des formations destinées aux archivistes qu’elle compare avec l’expérience québécoise. En effet, l’auteure souligne que l’archivistique actuelle au Brésil a été fortement influencée par l’archivistique québécoise et que les deux pratiques ont connu un développement similaire.

Dans la deuxième partie de son article, elle nous présente les zones de convergence, ainsi que les différences entre ces deux jeunes traditions archivistiques. Toutes deux sont teintées par les traditions européennes, principalement françaises, ainsi que par les méthodes américaines. Toutes deux pratiquent une archivistique intégrant ces deux approches.
Archives, danse1 et recréation. Une introduction2
Authors: Scarpulla Mattia
Published: April 2016

Dans son article, Mattia Scarpulla s’intéresse aux archives courantes et historiques du milieu professionnel de la danse qu’il nous décrit à travers les fonctions de transmission et de diffusion. Les archives administratives de ce milieu prennent différentes formes et sont autant de moyens de transmission, que ce soit lors de la création de la chorégraphie, de sa représentation ou encore de sa recréation. Le document d’archives, ainsi transmis, est porteur de la mémoire de la danse et du potentiel créatif des oeuvres. L’auteur explique qu’à la base de la mémoire de la danse, il y a sa disparition, d’où la nécessité de la conserver pour une nouvelle création. Quant aux archives historiques du domaine, elles possèdent également ce fort potentiel créatif qui se manifeste, entre autres, par la diffusion d’archives qui deviennent des oeuvres en elles-mêmes.

Scarpulla nous présente trois institutions vouées à la conservation de ces archives, chacune possédant ses propres enjeux et approches, soit la bibliothèque de la danse Vincent-Warren, le Centre national de la danse et le Musée de la danse, situé à Rennes. Par ces exemples, l’auteur évoque la question des archives en lien avec la nécessité de produire de nouvelles mémoires, de nouvelles danses et aborde des sujets tels que le pouvoir de dire, les enjeux politiques institutionnels et les enjeux personnels propres à ce milieu. Ces derniers aspects sont des ouvertures vers des considérations sur la production d’archives, en tenant compte du facteur humain et créatif à la base d’un choix ou d’une action.

Published: April 2016

Les trois auteurs font état de leur expérience et des stratégies mises en oeuvre dans la réalisation du projet collaboratif de Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) sur Wikimédia Commons. Ce projet vise à assurer la réalisation d’une des plus importantes missions que s’est donnée BAnQ : offrir un accès démocratique à la culture et à la connaissance.

Le projet s’articule autour de quatre volets. Le premier, lancé en 2013, porte sur l’ajout de liens vers des fonds d’archives à plus de 800 articles sur l’encyclopédie collaborative Wikipédia. À l’hiver 2014, un second volet, portant cette fois sur la formation des usagers de Wikipédia, est mis en branle. Le projet Mardi c’est Wiki !, gratuit et ouvert à tous, vise à améliorer le contenu francophone de l’encyclopédie en formant les contributeurs. Le troisième volet, le projet Poirier, débute pour sa part à l’été 2014 et se veut un outil pour la sélection et la mise en ligne de centaines de photographies libres de droit sur Wikimédia. Enfin, le quatrième volet, lancé à l’automne 2014, porte sur la transcription collaborative d’ouvrages conservés par BAnQ sur Wikisource, un projet de bibliothèque numérique collaborative.

Du point de vue des auteurs, ce projet et les volets qui en découlent sont des outils qui permettent le partage du patrimoine et une collaboration élargie du public. Cette participation active de BAnQ à Wikimédia Commons favorise grandement la visibilité de ses collections et, par le fait même, leur diffusion.
Réduire les silos d’information – Bilan d’expérience au Cirque du Soleil avec la gestion électronique des documents
Authors: Dufresne Marie-Claire , Gratton Evelyne
Published: April 2016

Les silos d’information peuvent être considérés comme un frein autant qu’un levier à l’accessibilité. Dans le cas du Cirque du Soleil, présenté ici par Marie-Claire Dufresne et Evelyne Gratton, le roulement de personnel ainsi que le manque de suivi et des habitudes de partage d’information ont causé la création de nombreux silos qui devinrent un problème de communication de l’information au sein de l’entreprise.

Cet article expose la stratégie employée dans le développement d’un outil de gestion électronique des documents, projet mené par l’équipe de gestion documentaire, afin de répondre aux besoins en termes de partage d’information et de suivi des versions. Ce projet devait tenir compte du contexte particulier du Cirque du Soleil, de ses nombreux spectacles et utilisateurs situés sur plusieurs continents et du grand nombre de documents produits. Le déploiement s’est déroulé sur plusieurs mois et a exécuté un processus de consultation auprès des différents secteurs suivi de conception de prototypes. L’approche par unité sectorielle a été privilégiée afin que l’outil rencontre leurs besoins. Les auteures présentent, en guise d’exemple, le processus au sein des Ateliers de costumes.

La gestion de l’information et l’implantation de solutions qui prennent en compte le contexte de sa création permettent d’éviter les silos tout en amenuisant leurs désavantages. La mise en place de telles solutions soutient la cohérence et la concertation au sein de l’entreprise, même dans un cas aussi particulier qu’est le Cirque du Soleil.
Retrograde fibroblast growth factor 22 (FGF22) signaling regulates insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) expression for activity-dependent synapse stabilization in the mammalian brain
Authors: Terauchi Akiko , Johnson-Venkatesh Erin M , Bullock Brenna , Lehtinen Maria K , Umemori Hisashi
Published: April 2016

Communication between pre- and postsynaptic cells promotes the initial organization of synaptic specializations, but subsequent synaptic stabilization requires transcriptional regulation. Here we show that fibroblast growth factor 22 (FGF22), a target-derived presynaptic organizer in the mouse hippocampus, induces the expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) for the stabilization of presynaptic terminals. FGF22 is released from CA3 pyramidal neurons and organizes the differentiation of excitatory nerve terminals formed onto them. Local application of FGF22 on the axons of dentate granule cells (DGCs), which are presynaptic to CA3 pyramidal neurons, induces IGF2 in the DGCs. IGF2, in turn, localizes to DGC presynaptic terminals and stabilizes them in an activity-dependent manner. IGF2 application rescues presynaptic defects of Fgf22-/- cultures. IGF2 is dispensable for the initial presynaptic differentiation, but is required for the following presynaptic stabilization both in vitro and in vivo. These results reveal a novel feedback signal that is critical for the activity-dependent stabilization of presynaptic terminals in the mammalian hippocampus.
Direct neural pathways convey distinct visual information to Drosophila mushroom bodies
Authors: Vogt Katrin , Aso Yoshinori , Hige Toshihide , Knapek Stephan , Ichinose Toshiharu , Friedrich Anja B , Turner Glenn C , Rubin Gerald M , Tanimoto Hiromu
Published: April 2016

Previously, we demonstrated that visual and olfactory associative memories of Drosophila share mushroom body (MB) circuits (Vogt et al., 2014). Unlike for odor representation, the MB circuit for visual information has not been characterized. Here, we show that a small subset of MB Kenyon cells (KCs) selectively responds to visual but not olfactory stimulation. The dendrites of these atypical KCs form a ventral accessory calyx (vAC), distinct from the main calyx that receives olfactory input. We identified two types of visual projection neurons (VPNs) directly connecting the optic lobes and the vAC. Strikingly, these VPNs are differentially required for visual memories of color and brightness. The segregation of visual and olfactory domains in the MB allows independent processing of distinct sensory memories and may be a conserved form of sensory representations among insects.
Synaptotagmin-1 C2B domain interacts simultaneously with SNAREs and membranes to promote membrane fusion
Authors: Wang Shen , Li Yun , Ma Cong
Published: April 2016

Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) acts as a Ca2+ sensor for neurotransmitter release through its C2 domains. It has been proposed that Syt1 promotes SNARE-dependent fusion mainly through its C2B domain, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we show that the C2B domain interacts simultaneously with acidic membranes and SNARE complexes via the top Ca2+-binding loops, the side polybasic patch, and the bottom face in response to Ca2+. Disruption of the simultaneous interactions completely abrogates the triggering activity of the C2B domain in liposome fusion. We hypothesize that the simultaneous interactions endow the C2B domain with an ability to deform local membranes, and this membrane-deformation activity might underlie the functional significance of the Syt1 C2B domain in vivo.
Sub-70 nm resolution patterning of high etch-resistant epoxy novolac resins using gas permeable templates in ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography
Authors: Takei Satoshi , Hanabata Makoto
Published: April 2016

This study aimed to expand the resolution limits of epoxy novolac resins that have enhanced etch resistance as one of the desirable resist properties for next-generation devices. Epoxy novolac resins have high etch resistance. However, because epoxy novolac resins are either solid or semisolid at room temperature, and because the use of volatile solvents in resist can be a cause of pattern failure in nanoimprint lithography, epoxy novolac resins have been of limited utility as resist. Excellent sub-70 nm resolution patterning can be achieved by diluting 15 wt % acetone in an ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography using gas-permeable templates.
High-permitivity cerium oxide prepared by molecular beam deposition as gate dielectric and passivation layer and applied to AlGaN/GaN power high electron mobility transistor devices
Authors: Chiu Yu Sheng , Liao Jen Ting , Lin Yueh Chin , Liu Shin Chien , Lin Tai Ming , Iwai Hiroshi , Kakushima Kuniyuki , Chang Edward Yi
Published: April 2016

High-κ cerium oxide (CeO2) was applied to AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) as a gate insulator and a passivation layer by molecular beam deposition (MBD) for high-power applications. From capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurement results, the dielectric constant of the CeO2 film was 25.2. The C–V curves showed clear accumulation and depletion behaviors with a small hysteresis (20 mV). Moreover, the interface trap density (D
it) was calculated to be 5.5 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 at 150 °C. A CeO2 MOS-HEMT was fabricated and demonstrated a low subthreshold swing (SS) of 87 mV/decade, a high ON/OFF drain current ratio (I
ON/I
OFF) of 1.14 × 109, and a low gate leakage current density (J
leakage) of 2.85 × 10−9 A cm−2 with an improved dynamic ON-resistance (R
ON), which is about one order of magnitude lower than that of a conventional HEMT.
Study of high In-content AlInN deposition on p-Si(111) by RF-sputtering
Authors: Núñez-Cascajero Arántzazu , Monteagudo-Lerma Laura , Valdueza-Felip Sirona , Navío Cristina , Monroy Eva , González-Herráez Miguel , Naranjo Fernando B.
Published: April 2016

In this work, we investigate the effects of deposition conditions on the structural and morphological properties of AlInN thin films deposited on p-doped Si(111) substrates by reactive radio-frequency sputtering. The aluminum composition can be tuned in the 0 to 0.36 range by changing the power applied to the aluminum target. Al incorporation leads to a change in the layer morphology and improvement of the rms surface roughness of the layers. The compact Al0.36In0.64N sample grown at 550 °C exhibits intense room-temperature photoluminescence centered at 1.75 eV.

Published: April 2016

A thin p-type InGaN with a negative electron affinity (NEA) surface was used to measure the relaxation time of a surface charge limit (SCL) by irradiating rectangular laser beam pulses at changing time interval. The p-type InGaN film was grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy and the NEA activation was performed after the sample was heat cleaned. 13 nC per pulse with 10 ms width was obtained from the InGaN photocathode. The current decreased exponentially from the beginning of the pulse. The initial current value after the laser irradiation decreased with the time interval. As a result, the SCL relaxation time was estimated through the InGaN photocathode measurements at 100 ms.

We investigated the structural and thermoelectric properties poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films with several dopants (counter ions, ClO4, PF6, and BF4), synthesised by electropolymerization. We first performed cyclic voltammetry analysis to determine the optimum synthesis conditions of the PEDOT thin films. We found that the surface morphology of the PEDOT thin films was dependent on the type of the dopant. The PF6-doped PEDOT (PEDOT:PF6) thin films showed a dense structure, and the PEDOT:ClO4 thin films showed a highly porous microstructure. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed that all the PEDOT thin films showed similar chemical structures and the p-type state. Regarding their thermoelectric properties, the electrical conductivity of the all the doped PEDOT thin films increased as the dopant concentration increased, with the PEDOT:PF6 thin films showing the highest value. On the other hand, the Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT thin films with all the dopants decreased as the dopant concentration increased, with the PEDOT:BF4 thin films achieving the highest value. As a result, the PEDOT:BF4 thin films exhibited the highest power factor of 0.75 µW/(m·K2) at a dopant concentration of 1.0 M. We think that the PEDOT microstructure produced using the different types of dopant may affect the thermoelectric properties.
