The high carrier mobility of graphene has been exploited in field-effect transistors that
operate at high frequencies. Transistors were fabricated on epitaxial graphene synthesized
on the silicon face of a silicon carbide wafer, achieving a cutoff frequency of 100 gigahertz …

The Blu-Ice and Distributed Control System (DCS) software packages were developed to
provide unified control over the disparate hardware resources available at a
macromolecular crystallography beamline. Blu-Ice is a user interface that provides scientific …

Under normal physiologic conditions, cardiac myocytes in the postnatal mammalian heart
rely on β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) to generate ATP (1). Since these cells
have little capacity for de novo biosynthesis or storage of LCFAs (2) and since serum …

SUMMARY The Mini-Mental State Examination was translated into Cantonese and
administered to 111 normal elderly and 79 demented patients. The scale was found to have
good reliability and validity as an instrument to detect cognitive impairment in our locality. A …

A method or utilizing electroless copper deposition to selectively form encapsulated copper
plugs to connect conductive regions on a semiconductor. A via opening in an inter-level
dielectric (ILD) provides a path for connecting two conductive regions separated by the ILD …

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine if depressive symptomatology in
pregnancy is associated with adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Method In a
prospective observational study, 959 women were followed up longitudinally from early …

One common metal used for forming metal line interconnects (also referred to as wiring) on a
wafer is aluminum. Aluminum is used because it is relatively inexpensive compared to other
conductive materials, it has low resistivity and is also relatively easy to etch. In some …

By analyzing gene expression data in glioblastoma in combination with matched microRNA
profiles, we have uncovered a posttranscriptional regulation layer of surprising magnitude,
comprising more than 248,000 microRNA (miR)-mediated interactions. These include∼ …

To achieve a competitive edge in the rapidly changing business environment, companies
must align with suppliers and customers to streamline operations, as well as working
together to achieve a level of agility beyond individual companies. Consequently, agile …

Commercial single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNTs) were purified by sodium hypochlorite solutions and were employed as
adsorbents to study the adsorption characteristics of zinc from water. The properties of CNTs …
