The Nature of Native Defects in LEC grown Semi-Insulating GaAs by Thermally Stimulated Current Spectroscopy
Traps have been studied by thermally stimulated current spectroscopy (TSC) with intrinsic (1.96 eV) and extrinsic (1.15 eV) light for both In doped and undoped LEC materials grown under various non-stoichiomet...

Electrical Measurements in GaN: Point Defects and Dislocations
Defects can be conveniently categorized into three types: point, line, and areal. In GaN, the important point defects are vacancies and interstitials; the line defects are threading dislocations; and the areal...

Overexpression of a putative maize calcineurin B-like protein in Arabidopsis confers salt tolerance
The calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) represent a unique family of calcium sensors in plants. Although extensive studies and remarkable progress have been made in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) CBLs, their f...

3D Surface Matching and Registration through Shape Images
In this paper, we present a novel and efficient surface matching framework through shape image representation. This representation allows us to simplify a 3D surface matching problem to a 2D shape image matchi...

Effect of low sodium intake and β-blockade on renin synthesis and secretion in mice with unilateral ureteral ligation
We previously reported that sodium depletion increased renin secretion from the normal kidney in mice. We postulated that the combined procedures of sodium depletion and β-adrenoceptor blockade would affect th...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Ginsenoside-Rg1 enhances angiogenesis and ameliorates ventricular remodeling in a rat model of myocardial infarction
Ginsenoside-Rg1 (Rg1) has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. The present study was performed to test our hypothesis that Rg1 provides pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic benefits ...
