Open AccessPolymorphisms in the CYP1B1 gene are associated with increased risk of prostate cancer
CYP1B1 has been evaluated as a candidate gene for various cancers because of its function in activating environmental procarcinogens and catalysing the conversion of oestrogens to genotoxic catechol oestrogens. T...

Physical and linkage map** of the bovine genome with cosmids
We have initiated a map** strategy using cosmid clones to chromosomally anchor a high-resolution bovine genetic linkage map. Ten cosmids containing microsatellites were assigned to bovine chromosomes by fluo...

Coarsening of a Population of Precipitates in a Soud
Coarsening of a population of second-phase precipitates in a solid affects the physical properties of the solid. A numerical model of coarsening is introduced to treat both diffusion-controlled and interface r...

High Performance Thin Film Transistors for Scanner Applications
We report on the characteristics of polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) thin film transistors (TFTs) fabricated with low temperature crystallized LPCVD amorphous silicon film as an active layer and plasma en...

Effect of Rapid Thermal Processing on Oxygen Precipitation in Silicon
The precipitation of oxygen in silicon can be initiated by both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation mechanisms. Homogeneous nucleation has been studied in much greater detail; however, in some cases, supe...

Oxygen Precipitation in Silicon: Numerical Models
We present a numerical model that simulates the evolution of precipitates and the diffusion of interstitial oxygen in Czochralski silicon. The growth and/or dissolution of each precipitate and the local concen...

Epitaxial Ge/GaAs Heterostructures by Scanned CW Laser Annealing of a-GE Layers on GaAs
Epitaxial regrowth of Ge/GaAs heterostructures by scanned laser annealing of amorphous Ge films on GaAs substrates has been studied as a function of laser power and scan rate. At least eight regimes representi...
