On Phase Extension and head movement
Authors: Surányi Balázs 
Published: August 2007

Abstract

1. Introduction

Marcel den Dikken's exploratory study on locality based on Chomsky's phase-based model of syntax diverges from Chomsky's (2000, 2001, 2004) phase theory in two crucial regards. First, the particular notion of phasehood he puts forward is defined by the semantic property of predicationality (rather than Chomsky's loosely interpreted propositionality). Second, the paper (re)introduces dynamicity to the theory of locality domains by proposing that inherent phases are extended through head movement (HM), i.e., phasehood can be inherited (compare Chomsky 1986, Bobaljik and Wurmbrand 2003).

Study Objective. To determine the risk of bleeding and supratherapeutic international normalized ratios (INRs) associated with use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in patients receiving warfarin.Design. Prospective, longitudinal study.Setting. An acute care, academic and research hospital in Canada.Patients. A total of 171 adults who were prescribed warfarin anticoagulation therapy for an expected duration of at least 4 months after enrollment.Intervention. Patients were asked to complete a 16‐week diary by recording bleeding events and exposure to factors previously reported to increase the risk of bleeding and supratherapeutic INRs, including CAM consumption.Measurements and Main Results. Prescription, medical, and laboratory records were reviewed. Risk factors for bleeding events and supratherapeutic INR (at least 0.5 units above the target range) were evaluated longitudinally by using generalized estimating equation (GEE) modeling. Of the 171 patients completing a diary, 87 (51%) reported at least one bleeding event and 36 (21%) had a supratherapeutic INR. Seventy‐three patients (43%) indicated they had used at least one CAM product previously reported to interact with warfarin. Warfarin use of less than 3 months' duration was the only statistically significant risk factor identified for supratherapeutic INR. The CAM therapies associated with an increased risk of self‐reported bleeding included cayenne, ginger, willow bark, St. John's wort, and coenzyme Q10. Use of more than one CAM while receiving warfarin was also a significant risk factor. Two CAMs were independently associated with an increased risk of self‐reported bleeding: coenzyme Q10 (odds ratio [OR] 3.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.88–7.24) and ginger (OR 3.20, 95% CI 2.42–4.24). Other risk factors significantly associated with increased bleeding included high target INR (2.5–3.5), diarrhea, acetaminophen use, increased alcohol consumption, and increased age.Conclusions. The use of CAM by patients receiving warfarin is common, and consumption of coenzyme Q10 or ginger appears to increase the risk of bleeding in this population.

Published: August 2007

By using positive discussion strategies and creating safe and supportive communities around books, teachers can promote student relationships outside of the classroom as wellThis articles details what happened when, after endless hours of teaching and explaining how literature circles work, the authors were dismayed at how their students still struggled to have positive social interactions during book discussions. Book discussions often deteriorated into tension filled discussions marred by class inequities, bullying, name‐calling, kicking, and threats. The authors closely examined the context of this classroom and came up with some solutions to improve literature circles for their students.This article identifies some issues that worked against book groups (such as student and structural barriers) and suggests some possible changes (minilessons, watching videos, choosing good books, coaching students) to assist others who also need help figuring out what is wrong with their literature circle discussions and what to do to improve them.
3.2: High Dynamic Range Projection Systems

Published: August 2007

AbstractDigital cinema and home theatre applications need to compete with analog film in terms of image quality. The single most important performance specification of a projection system, and the largest gap in the competition between digital and analog projectors, is the relatively low dynamic range of luminance of current digital projectors. In this paper we introduce a novel digital system capable of displaying images with a high enough dynamic range to rival analog film. The projection system described is based on a serial combination of light modulating devices, such as two liquid crystal micro‐display panels within a projection light engine. One of the modulation steps can be of lower spatial resolution and contrast. This increases the optical efficiency of the system and avoids optical artifacts. We describe several hardware implementations of this approach as well as the required image processing. Finally, we present an evaluation of the designs in terms of performance, image quality and cost.

Published: August 2007

AbstractWe have developed a super large grain poly‐Si on glass by CW laser crystallization using cylindrical microlens array. A giant‐grain poly‐Si with average grain size of 15 μm × 15 μm was achieved. The n‐channel TFT using the poly‐Si exhibited the field‐effect mobility, on/off current ratio, threshold voltage and gate voltage swing of 470 cm2/Vs, ∼108, 0.1 V and 0.4 V/dec., respectively. On the other hand, the p‐channel TFT exhibited 192 cm2/Vs, ∼108, −2.2 V and 0.5 V/dec., respectively. A single crystalline Si on glass can be achieved with this technique.

Published: August 2007

AbstractIn this paper an overdrive compensation for motion blur artifacts of LCD displays is described. It fits to those medical applications where moving images for diagnostic purposes are presented. This compensation relies on characterization of the LCD‐display‐transitions with a full‐state‐model, DICOM‐grayscale mapping for nonlinear compensation of the human vision and overdrive on multiple frames. Transitions that cannot complete in one frame are overdriven in subsequent frames with accurate computation of levels.

Published: August 2007

AbstractThis paper reports for the first time that the metal nanoparticle doping technology in STN‐LCDs is effective for realizing their fast response speed particularly at low temperature. The ratio of Ag and Pd of the metal nanoparticle doped in the liquid crystal is changed, and the condition suitable for the direct multiplexed dot matrix driving is found. It is demonstrated that the switching speed of STN‐LCD is improved particularly at the low temperature, say, −30°C over three times.
P‐4: Metal Contact Improvement in Cu‐gate TFT‐LCD
Authors: Tsai Wen‐Ching , Tu Kou‐Yuan , Lin Han‐Tu , Gan Feng‐Yuan 
Published: August 2007

AbstractIt was found that the extremely high contact resistance between Cu and ITO is caused by the damage of Cu during the via hole etching using SF6 and O2 plasma. TEM and XPS analysis indicate that an etching by‐product composed principally Cu2O was formed on the Cu film after the via etching. The result of a 3‐level 4‐factor Taguchi design showed that SF6/O2 ratio is the key parameter for the Cu dry etching. The Cu etching rate increases with decreasing the SF6/O2 ratio. By a via etching with high SF6/O2, Cu2O formation could be suppressed. The via contact resistance between Cu and ITO could be improved as same as that in the conventional Al gate metal.

Published: August 2007

AbstractWe have proposed and fabricated a new triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) pentacene organic thin‐film transistor (OTFT) by employing suspended source/drain (SSD) electrode which successfully improves the electrical properties such as field‐effect mobility, on/off ratio, threshold voltage (VTH) and subthreshold slope compared to conventional bottom‐contact OTFTs. The SSD electrode was fabricated by using Cr/Au double layer where the Cr was used as a sacrificial layer. By completely etching the Cr layer in the active area, a suspended Au source/drain structure is constructed forming a top‐contact‐like geometry. The field‐effect mobility of ink‐jet printed TIPS pentacene OTFT increased from 0.007 cm2/Vs to 0.066 cm2/Vs, on/off ratio increased from 104 to 106, VTH decreased from +9 V to −3 V and subthreshold slope decreased from 4.5 V/decade to 0.9 V/decade.

Published: August 2007

AbstractWe proposed an Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistors (a‐Si:H TFT) robust gate driver on glass substrate for the 7‐inch WVGA TFT‐LCD panel. By utilizing the specific design technique, the threshold voltage (Vth) shift of the a‐Si TFT in the gate driver can be compensated. Under reliability simulations, the gate driver can operates correctly over 8 days in 80 °C, although the Vth increased to ten times of the initial value. The integrated a‐Si TFT gate driver can effectively reduce the cost of TFT‐LCD manufacturing in the future.

Published: August 2007

AbstractWe investigate organic dynamic random access bistable devices with Al/Alq3/n‐type Si structure at different deposition rates. Each of them contains a heterostructure, and only two‐layer deposition is needed in this structure. Current‐voltage characteristic similar to that of metal/organic semiconductor/metal structure, the three‐layer structure widely used for organic memory devices, is obtained. Moreover, we are able to modify the electrical properties by utilizing appropriate deposition rates. This device shows extremely simple fabrication process and great potential in future advanced organic flexible display.

P‐27: Anomalous Increased Drain Current Characteristics of a‐Si:H TFTs with Long Channel Width

Published: August 2007

AbstractA‐Si:H TFTs having channel widths ranging from 40 μm to 48,000 μm were successfully fabricated and investigated for characterization of electrical dependence on channel width. TFTs with a critical channel width larger than 10,000 μm show width‐normalized drain current increases significantly even at the low lateral electrical field of 1.9 MV/m. for a critical bias condition, width‐normalized drain current has the dependency on channel width, resulting from the increased field effect mobility from 0.722 cm2/V‐sec to 1.6 cm2/V‐sec at VGS=12 V due to the dissipated power at the drain edge and the NPN bipolar action.

Authors: Levy David , Cowdery‐Corvan Peter , Freeman Diane , Nelson Shelby , Childs Andrea 
Published: August 2007

AbstractAn ambient process was developed for producing both the dielectric and semiconductor layers of a zinc oxide‐based thin‐film transistor. The dielectric films exhibited good electrical properties, leading to devices with gate leakage less than 25 nA/cm2. Typical devices had mobilities in excess of 5 cm2/Vs from a process with a maximum substrate temperature of 200°C. In addition, devices showed reasonable electrical stability in this novel deposition process for dielectrics and semiconductors.

Published: August 2007

AbstractInfluences of anti‐reflection and anti‐glare surface treatments, radius of curvature and ambient illuminance on legibility and visual fatigue of reflective‐type displays were studied. The results showed that legibility and visual fatigue mainly depended on the surface treatment, and better surface treatment can improve legibility and reduce visual fatigue especially in the intense ambient illumination. Surface treatments of 0.8% anti‐reflection and 44% anti‐glare show the same visual performance.
P‐35: Characterizing Laser Speckle and Its Effect on Target Detection
Authors: Gaska James P. , Tai Chi‐Feng , Geri George A. 
Published: August 2007

AbstractIn this study we examine a power spectral density metric for characterizing laser speckle and predicting its effect on target detection. To evaluate the metric, we measured contrast energy thresholds on both a laser speckle background and backgrounds consisting of randomly modulated pixel luminance (i.e., pixel noise). We found that, at the same power spectral density levels, energy thresholds obtained for gratings superimposed on pixel noise were slightly higher than analogous thresholds obtained with laser‐speckle noise. In the discussion section, we outline necessary improvements to the laser speckle power spectral density metric.

Published: August 2007

AbstractA model to evaluate the color break‐up (CBU) of field‐sequential color liquid crystal display (FSC‐LCD) had been successfully established. In order to quantify the CBU, “Color Break‐Up Angle (CBUA)” was proposed as the evaluation index. From the psychophysical experiments, the CBUA=0.22° was reported as the averaged threshold value for indistinguished color break‐up. Consequently, the minimum frame rate could be derived from the model to suppress CBU in the various FSC‐LCDs.

Published: August 2007

AbstractAchieving on‐ and off‐axis white balance is one of the key issues for LCD image quality enhancement. A well‐known color correction algorithm for image quality, especially color performance, is Accurate Color Capture (ACC). Determination of ACC correction values has been quite time consuming as past methods have required trial‐and‐error analysis of differences between predicted and measured values. We propose a new method for color correction that uses a spatially emulated pattern and measured values on the patterns. We implemented the proposed algorithm in a software tool and applied it to a PVA‐mode panel.
