Open AccessMitochondrial DNA damage induces apoptosis in senescent cells
Senescence is a cellular response to damage and stress. The senescence response prevents cancer by suppressing the proliferation of cells with a compromised genome and contributes to optimal wound healing in n...

ERG protein expression and genomic rearrangement status in primary and metastatic prostate cancer—a comparative study of two monoclonal antibodies
Overexpression of the ERG protein is highly prevalent in prostate cancer (PCa) and commonly results from gene fusions involving the ERG gene. Recently, N-terminal epitope-targeted mouse and a C-terminal epitop...

Increase in pulse transit time to the foot after epidural anaesthesia treatment
Epidurally induced anaesthetic treatment is a routine treatment for pain relief during surgical procedure, based on blocking the sensory and sympathetic fibres that mediate pain. The epidural sympathetic block...

Time to dP/dtmax, a preload-independent index of contractility: open-chest dog study
A mathematical model of left ventricular pressure (LVP) during isovolumic contraction in the time domain shows the following predictions: 1) td, the time from onset of contraction to dP/dtmax and (dP/dt)/P, refle...

Threshold Switching in Chalcogenide-Glass Thin Films
The application of sufficiently high electric fields to any material eventually results in deviations from linearity in the observed current-voltage I(V) characteristic. There are two general classes of explanati...

Preparation and Properties of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Produced by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Decomposition of Silane
We have investigated the properties of several hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films prepared by the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor decomposition (PECVD) of silane. This reactor is singular because it ...

Article
Electronic States in Amorphous Solids, Liquids, and Alloys
We describe elements of a thermodynamical ensemble theory of electronic states in a variety of disordered systems. Equilibrium energies and kinetics of phase space exploration combine to determiine the ensembl...

Elimination of Photo-Induced Degradation in Semiconductor Devices
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon and related alloys ordinarily exhibit photo-induced changes that degrade device behavior, particularly in solar-cell applications. On the basis of a recently developed theory for...

Inadequacy of the Conventional View of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon
The conventional view of the electronic structure of hydrogenated amorphous silicon is: (1) the material is characterized by a mobility gap of about 1.8 eV, with exponential band tails due to disorder and deep...

Article
Electronic Transport in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon
The puzzles regarding the magnitude of the free electron mobility in hydrogenated amorphous silicon are examined. It is suggested that high-level double injection produces a metastable increase in the carrier ...

Structural and electrical properties of polycrystalline silicon films deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition with and without plasma enhancement
Silicon thin films prepared by chemical vapor deposition of silane at very low pressures (4 mTorr) in an experimental reactor that allows deposition with and without plasma enhancement have been characterized....

New concepts in the treatment of chronic recurrent parotitis
The release of glandular kallikrein into the interstitium of the parotid gland appears to play an important role in the occurrence of the inflammatory interstitial edema in chronic recurrent parotitis. This pr...

Existence of a Sharp Anderson Transition in Disordered Two-Dimensional Systems
We derive the quantum-mechanical energy-dependent diffusivity directly from the Kubo-Greenwood formula for electrical conductivity. The resulting expression suggests a numerical method for the solution of the ...

Correlation between Color Vision Deficiency and Results of Clinical Examination in Glaucomatous Patients
Forty-one glaucomatous patients were examined for color vision deficiency by threshold spectral sensitivity curve measurement. Their color vision function has been evaluated in association to intraocular press...

A Model for the Laser-Induced Chemical Vapor Deposition of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon
We propose a model for laser-induced chemical vapor deposition in which the growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films is rate-controlled by the gas phase homogeneous thermal dissociation of SiH

Studies of the Chemical Forms of Trace Elements in Sea Water Using Radiotracers
Important clues as to the chemical forms, seasonal variations, biogeochemical transformations and removal mechanisms of trace elements in natural waters are revealed by the use of chemical separation procedure...

IR Laser-Induced Deposition of Silicon Thin Films
The deposition of a-Si:H by means of CO2 laser-induced pyrolysis of silane gas is described. Deposition rates were found to increase with increasing silane flow rate, reactor pressure, laser power and substrate t...

Evaluation of time-dependent and quantitative properties of contraction from left ventricular pressure
Several mechanical indices predicted from a model of cardiac muscle contraction are tested. In thein-vivo canine heart, dp/dtmax and t-dp/dt, the time, interval from onset of contraction to dp/dtmax, were measure...
