Investigations on the application of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) to indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFT) for fabrication and channel modification are presented. The back channel of IGZO thin film transistors can be modified by the absorption of self-assembled monolayers. The electrical properties of the IGZO exposed back...
Concentrations of twenty-five PCBs, fifteen organochiorine pesticides and mercury were determined in recreational fish from the Willamette River, Oregon during the summer of 2000. Thirty-six fish samples of three fish species including black crappie, smalimouth bass and con-rn-ion carp were analyzed. The data reported here provides new information and recent...
Radiation exposure to the brain can occur from a variety of events, including space missions, nuclear accidents, and clinical treatments. The effects of high dose radiation are well studied, but those of lower dosage are more elusive. Decline of memory and cognition is observed in patients exposed to low dose...
Fungi from the genus Chlorociboria are known for their production of the blue-green quinonic pigment xylindein. Extracted xylindein has been the subject of investigations ranging from fabric dying to use a coloring agent in paint, and shows potential as an organic semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and other technologies. However,...
Many humans and canines alike suffer from osteosarcoma, which is often metastatic, resistant to chemotherapy, and frequently fatal. The mechanisms through which osteosarcoma cells acquire resistance to chemotherapy are not entirely understood, and the role of exosomes as intercellular mediators of this resistance in osteosarcoma is unknown. Using established canine...
