High Frequency Performance of Vertical InAs Nanowire MOSFET

We report on RF characterization of vertical, 100-nm-gate length InAs nanowire MOSFETs, utilizing wrap-gate technology and Al2O3 high-kappa gate oxide. The transistors show f(t)=5.6 GHz and f(max)=22 GHz, mainly limited by parasitic capacitances. The RF device performance is described using a hybrid-pi model taking hole generation at the drain into account. Electrostatic modeling of the parasitic

Korsallergi mellan penicilliner och övriga betalaktam-antibiotika - Risken är betydligt mindre än man tidigare trott.

Severe IgE-mediated allergic reactions to penicillins are rare but might be fatal. Because some studies demonstrated a high risk of cross-sensitivity to cephalosporins and carbapenems it has been recommended to avoid these antibiotics in patients with suspected hypersensitivity to penicillins. However, recent studies and analyses conclude that the risk of cross-reactivity was overestimated in the

Low temperature deposition of silicon nitride using Si3Cl8

We demonstrate the deposition of SixNy thin films using octachlorotrisilane (Si3Cl8) and ammonia between 300 and 500 degrees C by an atomic layer deposition-like growth mechanism. Although there are chemical vapor deposition growth mechanisms present, which lead to an incomplete saturation, a step coverage >80% in high aspect ratio (>60:1) trenches could be achieved. The deposited films oxidize af

Calpain and PARP Activation during Photoreceptor Cell Death in P23H and S334ter Rhodopsin Mutant Rats

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases affecting photoreceptors and causing blindness. Many human cases are caused by mutations in the rhodopsin gene. An important question regarding RP pathology is whether different genetic defects trigger the same or different cell death mechanisms. To answer this question, we analysed photoreceptor degeneratio

Statistical Modeling of Atrioventricular Nodal Function During Atrial Fibrillation Focusing on the Refractory Period Estimation

We have recently proposed a statistical AV node model defined by a set of parameters characterizing the arrival rate of atrial impulses, the probability of an impulse passing through the fast or the slow pathway, the refractory periods of the pathways, and the prolongation of refractory periods. All parameters are estimated from the RR interval series using maximum likelihood (ML) estimation, exce

Contributions of climate, leaf area index and leaf physiology to variation in gross primary production of six coniferous forests across Europe: a model-based analysis

Gross primary production (GPP) is the primary source of all carbon fluxes in the ecosystem. Understanding, variation in this flux is vital to understanding variation in the carbon sink of forest ecosystems, and this would serve as input to forest production models. Using GPP derived from eddy-covariance (EC) Measurements, it is now possible to determine the most important factor to scale GPP acros

Conodont biostratigraphy in the Early to Middle Ordovician strata of the Oslobreen Group in Ny Friesland, Svalbard

The remotely located Cambro-Ordovician strata in Ny Friesland, NE Spitsbergen, Svalbard, are referred to the Oslobreen Group, which is composed of the Tokammane, Kirtonryggen and Valhallfonna formations. Herein we record the conodont succession of the Kirtonryggen and Valhallfonna formations. Collections of well-preserved conodonts (CAI 1) have been recovered from the Lower to lower Middle Ordovic

Analysing the chromium-chromium multiple bonds using multiconfigurational quantum chemistry

This Letter discusses the nature of the chemical bond between two chromium atoms in different di-chromium complexes with the metal atoms in different oxidation states. Starting with the Cr diatom, with its formally sextuple bond and oxidation number zero, we proceed to analyse the bonding in some Cr(I)-Cr(I) XCrCrX complexes with X varying from F, to Phenyl, and Aryl. The bond distance in these co

Application of nitrogen fertilizer to a boreal pine forest has a negative impact on the respiration of ectomycorrhizal hyphae

Aims There is evidence that increased N inputs to boreal forests, via atmospheric deposition or intentional fertilization, may impact negatively on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi leading to a reduced flux of plant-derived carbon (C) back to the atmosphere via ECM. Our aim was to investigate the impact of N fertilization of a Pinus sylvestris (L.) forest stand on the return of recently photoassimilate

A 9-year follow-up study of participants and nonparticipants in sigmoidoscopy screening: Importance of self-selection

Background: Self-selection may compromise cost-effectiveness of screening programs. We hypothesized that nonparticipants have generally higher morbidity and mortality than participants. Methods: A Swedish population-based random sample of 1,986 subjects ages 59 to 61 years was invited to sigmoidoscopy screening and followed up for 9 years by means of multiple record linkages to health and populati

Exploratory study of EEG burst characteristics in preterm infants

In this paper, we study machine learning techniques and features of electroencephalography activity bursts for predicting outcome in extremely preterm infants. It was previously shown that the distribution of interburst interval durations predicts clinical outcome, but in previous work the information within the bursts has been neglected. In this paper, we perform exploratory analysis of feature e

Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions: Status and Prospects

We review transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions, their application to topical issues in high-energy physics phenomenology, and their theoretical connections with QCD resummation, evolution and factorization theorems. We illustrate the use of TMDs via examples of multi-scale problems in hadronic collisions. These include transverse momentum q(T) spectra of Higgs and vect

FLT3-ITDs Instruct a Myeloid Differentiation and Transformation Bias in Lymphomyeloid Multipotent Progenitors

Whether signals mediated via growth factor receptors (GFRs) might influence lineage fate in multipotent progenitors (MPPs) is unclear. We explored this issue in a mouse knockin model of gain-of-function Flt3-ITD mutation because FLT3-ITDs are paradoxically restricted to acute myeloid leukemia even though Flt3 primarily promotes lymphoid development during normal hematopoiesis. When expressed in MP
