The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior exhibited
by β-lactoglobulin at silanized silicon surfaces of varying

equilibrium results were used to construct adsorption
isotherms; the adsorbed mass of β-lactoglobulin was observed
to increase with increasing surface hydrophobicity, within a

It is likely attributable mostly to the improved sampling of SST observations...

The central focus of this thesis is the design, fabrication and characterization of amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistor (TFT) current mirrors. The thin-film deposition and circuit fabrication methods used to realize zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFT

The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...
Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are
investigated as a channel layers for transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs).

deposited onto aluminum oxide-titanium oxide/tin doped indium oxide/glass
substrates (ATO/ITO/glass) to produce TTFTs.

Many parents want their children to have positive feelings about themselves and to believe they can succeed. Children often evaluate their selfworth and make judgments about their abilities based on experiences they have at home. Families can provide numerous
opportunities every day to develop children’s self-confidence.
Why is problem solving important for families? Naturally, conflicts arise
for children every day. Children who learn to figure out solutions
to their problems are better able to work and play with others. The
ability to solve difficult situations also builds positive self-esteem,
self-confidence, and relationships with others.
Children are naturally curious and have a strong desire to
be independent. They may go beyond the rules and limits
parents set. Sometimes parents aren’t sure how to respond to
children’s behavior. Parents may react angrily, rather than warmly
and firmly.
