Open AccessSuitability of PSA-detected localised prostate cancers for focal therapy: experience from the ProtecT study
Contemporary screening for prostate cancer frequently identifies small volume, low-grade lesions. Some clinicians have advocated focal prostatic ablation as an alternative to more aggressive interventions to m...

Failure Pzt Thin Films in Mems
Many microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are based on polysilicon films used for electrostatic actuation. However, piezoelectric films, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), can provide the ability to gener...

Structural and electrical characterization of PZT on gold for micromachined piezoelectric membranes
Piezoelectric membranes have been fabricated that incorporate a gold bottom electrode with an adhesion layer of titanium–tungsten (10:90 wt. %). For solution-deposited acetic acid based lead zirconate titanate...

Open AccessFGF8 isoform b expression in human prostate cancer
Overexpression of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) mRNA has been previously described in prostate cancer. Of its four isoforms, FGF8b is thought to be the most important in carcinogenesis. We hypothesised tha...

Lerneffekt bei geriatrischen Patienten mit kognitiven Leistungsstörungen — Ein Beitrag zur Notwendigkeit placebokontrollierter Therapiestudien mit Nootropika
Der Nachweis der Wirksamkeit von Nootropika ist nach wie vor problematisch, da Lern- und Placeboeffekte berücksichtigt werden müssen. Wir untersuchten bei geriatrischen Patienten mit kognitiven Leistungsstörun...

Radiation Dam** and Nonlinearity in the Pilot Wave Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
It is claimed that orthodox quantum mechanics (OQM) is not a scientific theory, but a set of computational recipes. Fundamental differences between the pilot wave interpretation (PWI) and OQM, and their experi...

The Static Dielectric Constant of Alkali Halides at Low Temperatures
The static dielectric constant, ε s , of single crystals of NaCl, KCl, and KBr have been measured between 4.2° and 300°K. The specimens were in the form of disks...
