Properties of thin oxynitride gate dielectrics produced by thermal nitridation of silicon dioxide (1980)

Oxynitride films have been fabricated by annealing thermal SiO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> films in dilute NH <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> . These films are homogeneous and have breakdown fields over 9 MV/cm. Unlike films prepared by nitridation of bare surfaces, the thickness of these films is determined by the starting oxide and is largely insensitive to the anneal time. The conversion of oxide to nitride increases with anneal time and temperature as shown by Auger and etch rate measurements. Oxidation at 1000°C in oxygen yields low growth rates comparable to those reported (1) for direct nitridation of silicon. After irradiation with a megarad of ionizing radiation flatband shifts of less than 0.3 volt for gate bias of 5 volts were measured. This shift is mainly due to mobile charge. Conversion of oxide to oxynitride films should make it possible to fabricate by ordinary processing reproducible submicron FETs with gate insulation thickness of 100 Å to 150 Å having acceptable breakdown voltages.
Study on the Relationship between Impression Management and Career Success in State-owned Enterprises--the Moderation Effect of Political Skill (2010)

The empirical researches on the political skills which domestic experts and scholars dedicate is in a preliminary exploration stage,few studies concern that impression management make impact on the career success.On the basic of understanding the relationship of subjective/objective career success and impression management strategies used with employees in the state-owned enterprise,this paper thinks that the high level of political skills will have negative consequences on career success that using the impression management,the staff owning the high level of political skills are able to achieve this mitigation intentions,otherwise the influence will be very small.The 395 employees working in the two large state-owned manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai are selected and analysed,and we find that: the employees in the state-owned enterprises play the six strategies of impression management,proving the self-promotion,ingratiation,exemplication and self-abasement can positively and significantly predict career success;intimidation and supplication can negatively and significantly predict object career success,and they can't significantly predict subjective career success;what's more,a hierarchical regression analysis is used to verify the role of moderators.We find the moderation effects of political skills are significant and positive in all the paths,but degrees are different.
Glycopeptides and glycodepsipeptides in clinical development: a comparative review of their antibacterial spectrum, pharmacokinetics and clinical efficacy. (2006)

Hemi-synthetic derivatives of glycopeptides have demonstrated bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant strains (oritavancin and telavancin), and a prolonged half-life, allowing for once-daily (oritavancin and telavancin) or once-weekly (dalbavancin) administration. These compounds have proved effective for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, including complicated skin and skin structure infections (oritavancin, telavancin and dalbavancin), bacteremia (oritavancin and dalbavancin) and nosocomial pneumonia. This review compares the antibacterial activity and clinical activity of three glycopeptides, oritavancin, telavancin and dalbavancin, and the natural lipoglycopeptide, ramoplanin, which, being unstable in the bloodstream, is administered orally to treat Clostridium difficile colitis and for digestive tract decontamination. All of these compounds, with the exception of oritavancin, have received Fast Track designation from the FDA because of their clinical efficacy.
A comparison of depth-conversion methods in the Gulf of Mexico (1990)

ABSTRACT The conversion of two-way seismic times into a depth picture has been done using two versions of three different methods for a proprietary study area in the Gulf of Mexico. From the simplest constant-function approach to the layer-cake method to an average-velocity technique based upon seismic velocities, each method has advantages and disadvantages. Four time horizons were converted using each method and calibrated at nine well locations. The shallowest and flattest marker has a variable mean error (from 0 to 93 feet) but a relatively stable standard deviation (from 22 to 43 feet). The deepest reflection has a highly variable mean error (from 0 to 474 feet) and an almost equally variable standard deviation (from 75 to 280 feet). This mistie study examines the depth-conversion error as a function of layer, depth and space. While the results cannot be generalized blindly, the seismic average-velocity technique calibrated to the wells was the best method for the four horizons. It is noteworthy that the layer-cake result using a constant depth normalized interval velocity was slightly better than a full-blown seismic-velocity technique for the deepest horizon. Because the conversion of time into depth is done with some measure of uncertainty, it is vital that the final depth map be quantified as to accuracy. For the explorationist, it is imperative that the best technique for depth conversion be used as dictated by the exploration objectives and the available time and resources.
A high-resolution cathodoluminescence analysis system (1977)

An efficient system for the collection and analysis of cathodoluminescence (CL) excited by the electron beam of a scanning electron microscope has been developed, employing an ellipsoidal mirror with its major axis parallel to the beam direction, 45 degrees plane mirror, fibre optic light guide and grating spectrometer. The optical transfer efficiency from sample to detector is 5% at 500 nm. Spectra from areas a few micrometres across can be recorded using beam currents as low as 1 nA with a spectral resolution of 1 nm. Monochromatic CL micrographs can be displayed on the screen. Some applications of the instrument in the field of compound semiconductors are illustrated.
Direct Scaling of Primitive Valence Force Constants:  An Alternative Approach to Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Fields (1998)

We present an alternative approach to the derivation of scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) force fields involving the direct scaling of individual primitive valence force constants from a full set of redundant valence coordinates. Our approach is completely general and more flexible than previous SQM schemes. Optimal scaling factors for various primitive stretching, bending, and torsional force constants are derived from a training set of 30 molecules containing C, O, N, H, and Cl and used to scale force constants for a further 30 molecules. Calculated vibrational frequencies are compared with experimental values for over 1500 fundamentals. Using the hybrid three-parameter B3-LYP density functional with the split-valence 6-31G* basis set, our scaling procedure gives an average error of less than 8.5 cm-1 in the scaled frequencies. The average percentage error is under 1%.
Complete suppression of the transient enhanced diffusion of B implanted in preamorphized Si by interstitial trapping in a spatially separated C-rich layer (2001)

A method for completely suppressing the transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of boron implanted in preamorphized silicon is demonstrated. Boron is implanted in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown silicon sample that has been previously amorphized by silicon implantation. The sample is then annealed in order to epitaxially regrow the amorphous layer and electrically activate the dopant. The backflow of silicon interstitials released by the preamorphization end-of-range (EOR) damage is completely trapped by a carbon-rich silicon layer interposed by MBE between the damage and the implanted boron. No appreciable TED is observed in the samples up to complete dissolution of the EOR damage, and complete electrical activation is obtained. The method might be considered for the realization of ultrashallow junctions for the far future complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor technology nodes.
Synthesis of 1,8‐naphthyridine derivatives. Potential antihypertensive agents. <b>1</b> (1986)

How Do I Feel? Identifying Emotional Expressions on Facebook Reactions Using Clustering Mechanism (2019)

The recognition of emotions and feelings through computer technology and devices has been widely explored in recent years. Social networks have become a natural environment in which users express their feelings and opinions through social media, and this includes their Facebook reactions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the emoticons have chosen by users in social network news actually express the emotions they wish to express, having as indicative, the polarity of the emotions, and the six basic emotions. The data collection was carried out following three courses of action: 1) survey of the posts with higher reactions rates of popular news pages; 2) selection of news by a panel of experts to verify its reliability; and 3) identification of reactions, polarity, and basic emotions flagged by Facebook users for each news item. Finally, an Expectation-Maximization algorithm was deployed to find the relationship between the reactions and the basic emotions signaled. The results made it possible to determine the polarity and the correlation of the reactions with the emotional expressions. This suggests that the use of reactions in feelings analysis algorithms can increase the confidence in determining the emotion that the content reflects and the emotional state of the social network users.
On the performance of a practical downlink CDMA generalized RAKE receiver (2003)

This paper is focused on the performance of the generalized RAKE scheme when integrated into a practical W-CDMA-FDD downlink receiver. The effects of imperfect channel estimation and imperfect power estimation are simulated and analyzed. The problem of finding the G-RAKE finger delays is discussed and an efficient low complexity scheme for finger placement is presented. It is shown that although the G-RAKE is more sensitive than the RAKE to imperfect channel and power estimations, it still provides significant improvement over the RAKE receiver.
Low-Noise Tunnel-Diode down Converter Having Conversion Gain (1960)

This paper describes the use of the new tunnel diode in a down converter. An experimental UHF circuit converting from a signal frequency of 210 mc to an intermediate frequency of 30 mc is used to illustrate the feasibility of this new converter. Conversion power gain of 22 db with less than 3 db noise has been achieved with gallium arsenide diodes. The circuit analysis proceeds from the basic nonlinear resistance of the tunnel diode I-V characteristic. Equations are developed for conversion gain, bandwidth and noise figure. From these equations, criteria are derived for the choice of diode characteristics and circuit parameters to obtain optimum performance.
Bowen's Disease (Squamous Cell Carcinoma In Situ) in Immunosuppressed Patients Treated with Imiquimod 5% Cream and a COX Inhibitor, Sulindac: Potential Applications for This Combination of Immunotherapy (2001)

The local immune modulator, 5% imiquimod, in combination with a COX inhibitor, with its many potential antitumor effects may stimulate the innate and possibly the adaptive immune responses to clear these malignancies.
Upper Lid Blepharoplasty (1999)

Upper lid blepharoplasty is the most common cosmetic procedure performed in men and women. The eyes are the most important aesthetic facial unit and also a sensitive projector of facial aging changes. Patients will complain about tired eyes, sad eyes, or extra tissue around the eyes. Dermatochalasis, fat herniation or protrusion, brow ptosis, and eyelid ptosis secondary to disinsertion or dehiscence of the levator aponeurosis all contribute to a patient's perceptions of the need for upper lid blepharoplasty. In this article we discuss aging changes in the periocular region in Asian and Caucasian type eyelids and in male and female patients. Traditional upper lid blepharoplasty techniques, indications for surgery, psychological considerations in candidates for cosmetic surgery, and frequently encountered complications are also covered.

Aromatase Activity in Corpora Lutea of the Ferret (1980)

Corpora hutea (CL) were dissected from the ovaries of ferrets on Days 6, 8 and 13 of pregnancy, homogenized and incubated with [ @ HI -testosterone to determine whether such CL possessed the enzymatic potential to synthesize estrogens. Two concentrations of the specific aromatase inhibitor androsta -1,4,6 -triene -3, 17 dione (ATD) were added to Day 13 huteal homogenates to determine whether it would inhibit aromatase activity in vitro. Other ferrets were treated with 700 mg ATD in Sihastic implants or injected daily with 100 mg ATD in 5% beeswax in sesame oil on Days 5"12of pregnancy to determine whether ATD would inhibit implantation. Both estrone and estradiol-17@were synthesized on all days tested, with estradiol being the most abundant product. Both concentrations of ATD tested significantly inhibited in vitro conversion of testosterone to estrogens. However, in vivo administration of ATD had no residual effect on aromatase activity in vitro but did prevent the bhastocysts from attaching to the uterine epithehium at the usual time (Day 12). The results indicate that huteahcells of pregnant ferrets have the enzymatic capability to synthesize estrogens. Moreover the data suggest that estrogens might be required for bhastocyst implantation in this species.
TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING COMPUTERIZED ADAPTIVE TESTS (1984)

First-order, switched-capacitor, low-pass filter implemented with GaAs insulated-gate FET switches (1990)

The application of the GaAs insulated-gate FET in switched-capacitor circuits is demonstrated. This is achieved by constructing a first-order, switched-capacitor, low-pass filter from monolithic GaAs IGFET switches and discrete capacitors. Hysteresis in the FET characteristic is shown to be unimportant. FET switching is shown to be independent of the absolute level of the switching signal.
Support Vector Machines on GPU with Sparse Matrix Format (2010)

Emerging general-purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) provides a multi-core platform for wide applications, including machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we proposed several techniques to accelerate Support Vector Machines (SVM) on GPUs. Sparse matrix format is introduced into parallel SVM to achieve better performance. Experimental results show that the speedup of 55x-133.8x over LIBSVM can be achieved in training process on NVIDIA GeForce GTX470.
Retinoic acid induces alveolar regeneration in the adult mouse lung (2003)

Recent data suggests that exogenous retinoic acid (RA) can induce alveolar regeneration in a mouse and a rat model of experimental emphysema and disrupted alveolar development. This may be because RA is required during normal alveolar development and the subsequent provision of RA reawakens the gene cascades used during development. Here, additional evidence that RA is required during alveologenesis in the mouse is provided by showing that disulphiram disrupts this process. A further model of disrupted alveolar development using dexamethasone administered postnatally is then described, and it is further shown that RA administered to these adult mice restores the lung architecture to normal. Alveolar regeneration with retinoic acid may therefore be an important novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of respiratory diseases characterised by a reduced gas-exchanging surface area, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and emphysema.
Asymptotic solutions of steady magneto-fluid-dynamic motion between two rotating disks with a small gap (1987)

The steady-state flow of a conducting fluid between two coaxial rotating disks in the presence of an axial magnetic field is considered for the following conditions: (1) the gap d between two disks is very small compared with the radial extension of the disks R; (2) the angular velocity of the disks is not too high, so that the thickness of the Eckman layer δ is still larger than the gap d, (d/δ)1/4≪1; and (3) the magnetic field B is moderate so that the corresponding Hartman number M≪R2/d2. Under these conditions asymptotic solutions to the problem are obtained in terms of the small parameter Ε=d/R. The results show that to the lowest-order approximation, the electric properties of the disks are not important to the flow field, while the magnitude of the magnetic field plays an important role in the equilibrium flow profile.
Luteinizing hormone and its dilemma in ovulation induction (2011)

Concept of a 'therapeutic window' of luteinizing hormone (LH) for successful conception in assisted reproductive technology and ovulation induction has been reviewed in this literature. The separate but complementary roles of follicle stimulating hormone and LH in stimulating folliculogenesis and ovulation are well established. Levels under which low LH concentrations may be equally or suboptimally needed for oocyte quality and subsequent embryonic development competence has been reviewed along with the data related to the high levels of LH promoting follicular atresia.
Bacterioplankton Community Shifts in an Arctic Lake Correlate with Seasonal Changes in Organic Matter Source (2003)

Seasonal shifts in bacterioplankton community composition in Toolik Lake, a tundra lake on the North Slope of Alaska, were related to shifts in the source (terrestrial versus phytoplankton) and lability of dissolved organic matter (DOM). A shift in community composition, measured by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rRNA genes, occurred at 4 degrees C in near-surface waters beneath seasonal ice and snow cover in spring. This shift was associated with an annual peak in bacterial productivity ([(14)C]leucine incorporation) driven by the large influx of labile terrestrial DOM associated with snow meltwater. A second shift occurred after the flux of terrestrial DOM had ended in early summer as ice left the lake and as the phytoplankton community developed. Bacterioplankton communities were composed of persistent populations present throughout the year and transient populations that appeared and disappeared. Most of the transient populations could be divided into those that were advected into the lake with terrestrial DOM in spring and those that grew up from low concentrations during the development of the phytoplankton community in early summer. Sequencing of DNA in DGGE bands demonstrated that most bands represented single ribotypes and that matching bands from different samples represented identical ribotypes. Bacteria were identified as members of globally distributed freshwater phylogenetic clusters within the alpha- and beta-Proteobacteria, the Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroides group, and the ACTINOBACTERIA:

10.1016/0967-0653(93)94047-3 (2000)

In order to aid navigation and to prevent disasters such as oil spills, collisions, and wrecks of vessels and aircraft, the US Coast Guard is charged with establishing, maintaining, and operating electronic aids to navigation. In a technological advance developed and operated by the Department of Defense, the global positioning system (GPS) provides all-weather global coverage, 24 hours/day at unprecedented accuracies. GPS provides standard positioning service (SPS) and precise positioning service (PPS). By applying differential techniques to GPS, navigational accuracies of better than 10 meters can be achieved. For the first time, an all-weather system is possible to meet all the marine navigator's needs including harbor and harbor approach navigation. This should revolutionize navigation safety and efficiency, surveying operations, search and rescue operations, and underwater mine disposal efficiency and safety.
Aspartame and Polydextrose in a Calorie-Reduced Frozen Dairy Dessert (1984)

A calorie-reduced frozen dairy dessert was formulated using aspartame as the sweetener and polydextrose as the bulking agent. Two levels each of polydextrose/corn syrup solids combinations and microcrystalline cellulose were evaluated in a dessert consisting of 4% milkfat and 30.5% total solids. Taste panel data showed that the products were acceptable and that microcrystalline cellulose played an important role in the formula. Four levels of polydextrose/sorbitol combinations and two levels of aspartame were also evaluated in a 2% fat, 29.8% total solids frozen dessert. The taste panel data showed that usage levels between 0.05-0.1% aspartame and a maximum of 12% polydextrose produced an acceptable product.
TECHNOLOGY FLOOR IDENTIFICATION USING SMARTPHONE BAROMETER SENSOR FOR INDOOR POSITIONING (2015)

Indoor positioning has emerged in recent years for providing location based services for localization, tracking and navigation systems. Indoor positioning in smartphones has become possible with the availability of good processors, sensors and connectivity in smartphone. Floor identification is an important aspect of indoor positioning. This paper proposes a method to overcome the altimeter error caused by atmosphere erratic changes with time; thereby it improves the positioning accuracy of the user height. The relationships among the atmospheric pressure, the absolute height, and the floor location are described along with a real-time calibration method using smartphone Barometer sensor. The proposed method is tested in a building consists of seven floors and quite very good accuracy has been achieved.
