Characterization of negative bias temperature instability in ultra-thin oxynitride gate P-MOSFETs by Wang, Shuang

“…Contrary to the single activation energy of the conventional SiO2 gate p-MOSFET, two distinct activation energies were obtained on ultra-thin oxynitride gate p-MOSFETs. One of the activation energy coincides with that obtained from the R-D model on SiO2 gate p-MOSFET; while the other activation energy is much smaller, representing a thermally-insensitive mechanism. …”

Profile of optical constants of SiO2 thin films containing Si nanocrystals by Dong, Gui, Chen, Tupei, Liu, Yang, Tse, Man Siu, Fung, Stevenson Hon Yuen

“…For optoelectronic and photonic applications of Si nanocrystals (nc-Si) embedded in a SiO2 matrix, the information of the depth profiles of the optical constants for the thin film system is necessary. In this work, an approach of the depth profiling for the thin film synthesized with ion implantation is developed. …”

Toward a crystal-clear view of the viral RNA sensing and response by RIG-I-like receptors by Luo, Dahai

“…The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs)—RIG-I, MDA5, and LGP2—detect intracellular pathogenic RNA and elicit an antiviral immune response during viral infection. …”

Persistent elevation of intrathecal pro-inflammatory cytokines leads to multiple sclerosis-like cortical demyelination and neurodegeneration by James, Rachel E., Schalks, Renee, Browne, Eleanor, Eleftheriadou, Ioanna, Munoz, Carmen Picon, Mazarakis, Nicholas D., Reynolds, Richard

“…Here we tested the hypothesis that persistent production of these cytokines in the meningeal compartment and diffusion into underlying GM can drive chronic MS-like GM pathology. Lentiviral transfer vectors were injected into the sagittal sulcus of DA rats to deliver continuous expression of TNF + IFNγ transgenes in the meninges and the resulting neuropathology analysed after 1 and 2 months. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…We conclude that climate change makes a strong case for studying elephant behaviours in response to environmental cues during the day and night, especially in dry-land study sites like Northern Kenya.…”

GOLDEN2-like1 is sufficient but not necessary for chloroplast biogenesis in mesophyll cells of C4 grasses by Lambret-Frotte, J, Smith, G, Langdale, J

“…In land plants, chloroplast biogenesis is regulated by a family of transcription factors named GOLDEN2-like (GLK). In C4 grasses, it has been hypothesized that genome duplication events led to the sub-functionalization of GLK paralogs (GLK1 and GLK2) to control chloroplast biogenesis in two distinct cell types: mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. …”
