Effects of the variations of oxide structure on the electrical and optical properties of ITO films (2000)

In the paper, conductive and transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) films have been prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering using powder target of In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> with 10wt% SnO<SUB>2</SUB> in an Ar/O<SUB>2</SUB> atmosphere. The structural, composition, optical and electrical properties of the films deposited at different substrate temperature (150 approximately 350 degrees Celsius) have been investigated. Some interesting results obtained in this work, which might be somewhat new, are that the variations of oxide structure and concentration greatly influence the electrical properties of ITO films. X-ray diffraction patterns and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show that the films deposited at substrate temperature 250 degrees Celsius or more are consist of In<SUB>2</SUB>SnO<SUB>5</SUB> and In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> with no Sn<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>. When substrate temperature is lowered to 150 degrees Celsius, Sn<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> occurs besides In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> in the films. The above result indicates the occurrence of Sn<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> is unfavorable to the conductive properties. When substrate temperature is increased, Sn<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> disappears, and oxygen vacancy and the electron donor Sn<SUP>+4</SUP> concentration are increase, which result in a great improvement of the electrical and optical properties.
Altered Contractility of Rabbit Penile Corpus Cavernosum Smooth Muscle by Hypoxia (1996)

Hypoxia causes a simultaneous increase in intracellular calcium and relaxation which, we propose, is the consequence of inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation with loss of high energy phosphates, necessary for the homeostasis of Ca2+ and the contractile mechanism of the cavernosal smooth muscle.
Aproximación al análisis dialectométrico de la entonación entre algunos puntos del dominio lingüístico catalán (2011)

En este trabajo se muestran las diferencias dialectales de la entonacion de frases pragmaticamente neutras en diversos puntos del dominio linguistico catalan mediante la dialectometria. Esta tecnica constituye un metodo de analisis que nos proporciona agrupaciones entre los datos empiricos considerados a partir de la matriz de distancias que se ha creado entre ellos. El escalamiento multidimensional (EMD) aplicado a los resultados nos permite construir un espacio metrico con el menor numero de dimensiones posibles, de tal manera que permite representar las proximidades o preferencias entre objetos con el mayor grado de fidelidad. Otro modo de agrupar los datos consiste en verlos en un dendrograma, un arbol que refleja tambien las agrupaciones que presentan. La dialectometria constituye una herramienta interesante y util para reflejar cuantitativamente los resultados y presenta una vision de los hechos distinta de la que ofrece la dialectologia tradicional. La modalidad que mas claramente distingue los puntos de encuesta es la interrogativa encabezada por la particula atona que, de acuerdo con lo obtenido en trabajos anteriores.
"Pimp My Roomba" (2009)

We present a study of how householders personalize their domestic vacuuming robot, iRobot's Roomba". In particular, we build on Blom and Monk's [3] theory of personalization that argues that personalization does not only occur naturally but can also be induced by design choices. In this study, we created a personalization toolkit, which allowed people to customize their Roomba's appearance and distributed it to 15 households. Our observations of these households provide empirical support that personalization can facilitate positive experiences with a Roomba, and having materials to hand can increase the odds of customization. We conclude by discussing design implications for personalization.
Sequential multiagent chemotherapy incorporating cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (1988)

Forty-three consecutive patients with metastatic breast cancer and clearly measurable disease were treated with sequential multiagent chemotherapy. Therapy consisted of the administration in fixed sequence of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (PAC) (four cycles), vinblastine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (VAD) (six cycles), and VP-16, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (VMF) (six cycles). At the conclusion of 16 cycles of chemotherapy, all treatment was stopped. Patients were assessed for toxicity and disease response after each treatment. Duration of response and survival rate were determined for 41 evaluable patients. The overall response rate was 80% with 24% complete responses, 15% to PAC alone. Median duration of response (8 months) and median survival (17 months) were not superior to other reported multiagent chemotherapeutic programs. Toxicity included neutropenic fever, sepsis, renal failure, and electrolyte imbalance. Administration of sequential multiagent chemotherapy with a cisplatin-containing combination did not improve response rate, complete responses (CR), duration of response, or survival in this group of previously untreated breast cancer patients.
ILP-based Supply and Threshold Voltage Assignment For Total Power Minimization (2007)

In this paper we present an ILP-based method to simultaneously assign supply and threshold voltages to individual gates for\ndynamic and leakage power minimization. In our three-step approach, low power min-flipflop (FF) retiming is first performed to\nreduce the clock period while taking the FF delay/power into consideration. Next, the subsequent voltage assignment formulated\nin ILP makes the best possible supply/threshold voltage assignment under the given clock period constraint set by the retiming.\nFinally, a post-process further refines the voltage assignment solution by exploiting the remaining timing slack in the circuit.\nRelated experiments show that the min-FF retiming plus simultaneous Vdd/Vth assignment approach outperforms the existing\nmax-FF retiming plus Vdd-only assignment approach.
Tunable oxide-bypassed superjunction structure: breaking the silicon performance limit (2004)

We have recently reported an oxide-bypassed (OB) superjunction structure that utilizes the well-established oxide thickness control in fabrication instead of the difficult doping control in translating the unipolar on-resistance R/sub on/ versus the blocking voltage VBR tradeoff limit beyond the conventional unipolar silicon limit [Y.C. Liang et al., August 2001]. Further enhancement on the breakdown voltage to compensate process variation can be achieved by applying an external bias to the poly contact of the OB trench. This bias provides an independent control in adjusting maximum breakdown voltage. This paper describes the fabrication process and the laboratory results on the tunable oxide-bypassed superjunction structure.
Performance of selenium-ion-implanted GaAs f.e.t.s (1976)

Selenium-ion-implanted GaAs f.e.t.s have given minimum noise figures as low as 3·4 dB and maximum available gains of at least 10 dB at 10 GHz. The devices do not appear to suffer from short-term drift problems, and have greater device-characteristic uniformity and reproducibility than epitaxial f.e.t.s.

Isolation and characterization of a calcium-sensitive alpha-actinin-like protein from human platelet cytoskeletons. (1981)

Platelet cytoskeletons were isolated by extracting these highly contractile cells with a solution containing 1% Triton X-100 and 10 mM ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid as recently described (Rosenberg, S., Stracher, A., and Lucas, R. C. (1981) J. Cell Biol. 91, 201-211). The Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton consists mostly of actin, a high molecular weight actin-binding protein and a previously unidentified protein with an apparent molecular weight on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels of 105,000 (+/- 5,000). We describe the purification of this 105,000-dalton protein from the platelet cytoskeleton using ammonium sulfate fractionation and ion exchange chromatography. This 105,000-dalton protein was found to cross-react with antibodies to beef cardiac alpha-actinin. One-dimensional partial proteolysis maps showed similarity to, but not identity with, the major peptides of the platelet 105,000-dalton protein and skeletal muscle alpha-actinin. The platelet 105,000-dalton cytoskeletal protein binds to and causes the sedimentation of skeletal muscle F-actin under comparatively low centrifugal force. This process, however, is inhibited by calcium ions, unlike the binding of any of the muscle alpha-actinins described to date. Thus, it is likely that the 105,000-dalton protein is the platelet form of alpha-actinin, its different structure accounting for its different actin-binding behavior.
Proexosite-1 on Prothrombin Is a Factor Va-dependent Recognition Site for the Prothrombinase Complex (2003)

Although the contribution of basic residues of exosite-1 to the catalytic function of thrombin has been studied extensively, their role in the specificity of prothrombin recognition by factor Xa in the prothrombinase complex (factor Xa, factor Va, phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine vesicles, and Ca2+) has not been examined. In this study, we prepared several mutants of prethrombin-1 (prothrombin lacking Gla and Kringle-1 domains) in which basic residues of this site (Arg35, Lys36, Arg67, Lys70, Arg73, Arg75, and Arg77 in chymotrypsinogen numbering) were individually substituted with a Glu. Following expression in mammalian cells and purification to homogeneity, these mutants were characterized with respect to their ability to function as zymogens for both factor Xa and the prothrombinase complex. Factor Xa by itself exhibited similar catalytic activity toward both the wild type and mutant substrates; however, its activity in the prothrombinase complex toward most of mutants was severely impaired. Further kinetic studies in the presence of Tyr63-sulfated hirudin-(54-65) peptide suggested that although the peptide inhibits the prothrombinase activation of the wild type zymogen with a KD of 0.5-0.7 microm, it is ineffective in inhibiting the activation of mutant zymogens (KD = 2-30 microm). These results suggest that basic residues of proexosite-1 on prothrombin are factor Va-dependent recognition sites for factor Xa in the prothrombinase complex.
Isotropic and nondispersive planar fed Luneburg lens from Hamiltonian transformation optics (2012)

A modified Luneburg lens based on Hamiltonian optical transformation with planar feeds is proposed in this Letter. The lens, made of conventional all-dielectric materials, does not have any kind of anisotropy. Therefore, in theory, its bandwidth of operation has no upper frequency limitations in contrast with recent designs utilizing metamaterials. Results for wide-angle radiation and broadband operation are presented.
An Opposite Pattern of Selection of a Single T Cell Antigen Receptor in the Thymus and among Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (1998)

The differentiation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) remains controversial, which may be due in part to the phenotypic complexity of these T cells. We have investigated here the development of IEL in mice on the recombination activating gene (RAG)-2(-/-) background which express a T cell antigen receptor (TCR) transgene specific for an H-Y peptide presented by Db (H-Y/Db x RAG-2(-) mice). In contrast to the thymus, the small intestine in female H-Y/Db x RAG-2(-) mice is severely deficient in the number of IEL; TCR transgene+ CD8alphaalpha and CD8alphabeta are virtually absent. This is similar to the number and phenotype of IEL in transgenic mice that do not express the Db class I molecule, and which therefore fail positive selection. Paradoxically, in male mice, the small intestine contains large numbers of TCR+ IEL that express high levels of CD8alphaalpha homodimers. The IEL isolated from male mice are functional, as they respond upon TCR cross-linking, although they are not autoreactive to stimulator cells from male mice. We hypothesize that the H-Y/Db TCR fails to undergo selection in IEL of female mice due to the reduced avidity of the TCR for major histocompatibility complex peptide in conjunction with the CD8alphaalpha homodimers expressed by many cells in this lineage. By contrast, this reduced TCR/CD8alphaalpha avidity may permit positive rather than negative selection of this TCR in male mice. Therefore, the data presented provide conclusive evidence that a TCR which is positively selected in the thymus will not necessarily be selected in IEL, and furthermore, that the expression of a distinct CD8 isoform by IEL may be a critical determinant of the differential pattern of selection of these T cells.
FRP-Wood Hybrid Bridge Deck for Union-Washington, Skidmore Bridge (2006)

A hybrid panel made of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and glued laminated wood (glulam) is proposed as a new bridge deck system. The FRP-glulam system is based on the concept of optimizing a bridge deck panel with FRP composite skins and a glulam core. Like conventional glulam decks, FRP-glulam panels can be used either as a longitudinal deck or as a transverse deck with respect to the bridge span direction. The FRP-glulam panel was proven to be an attractive choice for a bridge deck system with fast installation, lightweight, and ease of connection with other bridge components. The FRP-glulam panel system was demonstrated at Union-Washington Skidmore Bridge deck, which was constructed in October of 2001. This report describes the laboratory work, design considerations and manufacturing of the bridge deck panels for the Skidmore Bridge in the towns of Washington and Union.

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION OF IRON AND MANGANESE SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE IN <i>CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII</i> (CHLOROPHYCEAE) (1999)

Subcellular localization of superoxide dismutase (SOD) isozymes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard was investigated. From both biochemical and immunological studies, Fe‐ containing superoxide dismutase (Fe SOD) was localized in the chloroplast, and the major Mn‐containing SOD (Mn SOD) was localized in the mitochondria. We isolated cDNA clones, Sod1, and Sod2, which encode Mn SOD and Fe SOD, respectively. Genomic DNA hybridization with these SOD clones demonstrated that there are two additional sequences closely related to Sod1. The transcriptional levels of both genes were compared in light‐ and dark‐grown cells. Mn SOD was higher in heterotrophically grown cells, whereas the accumulation of Fe SOD transcripts was higher under phototrophic condition.

Digitizing the customer: the digital moat (2003)

Argues that many organizations, particularly large ones, such as banks, insurance companies, telephone companies, and local utilities, are making a mistake in their application of digital technology, namely the electronic customer interface. Describes the trend toward using information technology to depopulate the customer interface and reduce the costs of managing customer relations, with many companies building a “digital moat” around their organizations. Warns of the psychological and cultural downside – the more “wired” human beings become, the more isolated they will feel. A severing of personal connections to real communities will cause psychological stress and a sense of “connected anonymity”. Argues that the “digital society” is a concept embraced and promoted mostly by people with a particular psychosocial orientation, i.e. the “loner” personality, and that to counter this the majority of people will very likely opt for “enclaves of humanity”, i.e. places and cirmcumstances to which they can turn for a genuine sense of contact and community.
Modulation of multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein 1 (ABCB1) expression in human heart by hereditary polymorphisms (2004)

The present study based on auricular samples suggests that genetic factors play a rather limited role in modulating P-gp expression in human heart. Therefore, the substantial interindividual variability in cardiac P-gp expression is likely related to environmental or disease related factors.

Dyeing Crystals to Dyeing Tissues: Congo Red in Anisotropic Media (2002)

In the past, we have studied the process of dyeing crystals through measurements of linear optical anisotropies (e.g., linear dichroism and linear birefringence). Techniques for analyzing the optical properties of dyed crystals are readily translated to stained crystalline tissues, countless examples of which have been described by chemical histologists. Moreover, questions pertaining to mechanisms of non-covalent association are comparable whether the structured host is a single crystal or crystalline tissue. Here, the azo dye, Congo red, in two types of anisotropic media, sucrose single crystals and fibrous, proteinaceous amyloid plaques, is described. Optical micrographs of amyloid from the brains of deceased Alzheimer's Disease patients made with a newly developed imaging system reveal previously unrecognized features. As formation of ordered amyloid plaques from their relatively small peptides may well be considered a pathological biocrystallization process, a clear understanding of the deposition mechanism may lead to strategies for crystallization inhibition.

Combined use of <i>T</i><sub>2</sub>‐weighted MRI and <i>T</i><sub>1</sub>‐weighted dynamic contrast–enhanced MRI in the automated analysis of breast lesions (2011)

A multiparametric computer-aided diagnosis scheme that combines information from T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and T2-weighted MRI was investigated using a database of 110 malignant and 86 benign breast lesions. Automatic lesion segmentation was performed, and three categories of lesion features (geometric, T1-weighted DCE, and T2-weighted) were automatically extracted. Stepwise feature selection was performed considering only geometric features, only T1-weighted DCE features, only T2-weighted features, and all features. Features were merged with Bayesian artificial neural networks, and diagnostic performance was evaluated by ROC analysis. With leave-one-lesion-out cross-validation, an area under the ROC curve value of 0.77±0.03 was achieved with T2-weighted-only features, indicating high diagnostic value of information in T2-weighted images. Area under the ROC curve values of 0.79±0.03 and 0.80 ± 0.03 were obtained for geometric-only features and T1-weighted DCE-only features, respectively. When all features were considered, an area under the ROC curve value of 0.85±0.03 was achieved. We observed P values of 0.006, 0.023, and 0.0014 between the geometric-only, T1-weighted DCE-only, and T2-weighted-only features and all features conditions, respectively. When ranked, the P values satisfied the Holm-Bonferroni multiple-comparison test; thus, the improvement of multiparametric computer-aided diagnosis was statistically significant. A computer-aided diagnosis scheme that combines information from T1-weighted DCE and T2-weighted MRI may be advantageous over conventional T1-weighted DCE-MRI computer-aided diagnosis.
P387: Comparison of antiseptic solutions effectiveness in the hospital environment (2013)

The use of antiseptic solutions began in the middle of 19th century in order to protect the spread of cross infections. Nowadays, the use of antiseptic solutions has been proved crucial for skin and hand antisepsis in the hospital environment. There are several antiseptic agents which should be used in every clinical intervention in order to reduce the risk of cross infections.
Density, Electrical Conductivity, and Dynamic Viscosity of <i>N</i>-Alkyl-4-methylpyridinium Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (2012)

Two air and water stable hydrophobic ionic liquids N-alkyl-4-methylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cn4mpy][NTf2], n = 2, 4) were synthesized and characterized. The density, electrical conductivity, and dynamic viscosity were measured and estimated in the range of T = (278.15 to 363.15) K. The melting temperature, glass transition temperature, and decomposition temperature of the two ILs were determined according to the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG). The molecular volume, standard molar entropy, and lattice energy were estimated in terms of empirical equations on the basis of the density values. The electrical conductivity and dynamic viscosity values dependence on temperature were fitted by the Vogel–Fulcher–Tamman equation. The molar conductivity was calculated by the density and electrical conductivity.
