Hexylthiophene-conjugated boron-dibenzopyrromethenes with benzo[1,3,2]oxazaborinine rings, 1, that absorb near-infrared light relatively high molecular extinction coefficients have been synthesized. The incorporation of 3-hexylthiophene-conjugated dye 1a at a blend ratio 5 wt % into polymeric solar cell based on P3HT/indene-C(70) bisadduct (IC(70)BA) bulk heterojunction structure improved power conversion efficiency from 3.7 to 4.3%. present work suggests well-defined absorbing BODIPY...
A powder-like 0.09 mm/sup 2/ 2.45 GHz RF identification chip for wireless recognition applications is described. This fabricated in a 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS process, and its thickness 60 mu/m. two-surface connection technique adopted to facilitate antenna attachment.

Twist bend nematic (NTB)-forming 9OCCHP5 and 11OCCHP5 dimers were synthesised by one-step condensation of 4-(4-pentylcyclohexyl) benzoic acid alkyl diol with yields as high 80%. Although each dimer formed the NTB phase only during cooling process in a narrow temperature width large 4°C, their equiweight mixture an both heating processes, displaying elliptical polygonal domains rope-like optical texture. The range became wider 29–38°C reduced orientational order parameter significantly from...
In onion thrips Thrips tabaci, reduced sensitivity of the sodium channel caused by several mutations have been correlated with pyrethroid resistance. For this study, using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequences, we examined phylogenetic relation among a total 52 thelytokous and arrhenotokous strains different genotypes mutations. Then, used flow cytometry to estimate their ploidy. Results showed that are divisible into three groups: diploid thelytoky, triploid...
In a variety of animal species, females hold leading position in evaluating potential mating partners. The decision virgin to accept or reject courting male is one the most critical steps for success. fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, however, molecular and neuronal mechanisms underlying female receptivity are still poorly understood, particularly females. painless (pain) gene encodes transient receptor (TRP) ion channel. We previously demonstrated that mutations pain significantly enhance...
In order to scale high-voltage transistors for high-density negative-gate channel-erasing NOR flash memories, two circuit techniques were developed. A proposed level shifter with low operating voltage is composed of three parts, a latch holding the negative erasing voltage, coupling capacitors connected latched nodes in latch, and drivers inverting resulting reduction maximum internal by 0.5 V. generator adds path-gate logic conventional realize both noise ripple As result, these along high...
System area networks (SANs), which usually accept irregular topologies, have been used to connect nodes in PC/WS clusters or high-performance storage systems. Since wormhole virtual cut-through transfer is for low latency communication, deadlock-free routings are essential SANs. We propose a novel deterministic routing called descending layers (DL) In order reduce both nonminimal paths and traffic congestion, the network divided into of subnetworks with same topology using channels, large...

We investigated the genetic basis and brain metabolism blood flow of a Japanese family with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD), multiple affected members for 3 generations.After excluding DNA repeat expansion (RE) common SCD genes by fragment analysis, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) whole-genome (WGS). Homozygosity mapping was using these data. REs were WGS data ExpansionHunter Denovo Expansion Hunter.WES unable to identify likely pathogenic variants, homozygosity failed narrow...
Abstract Monitoring the pain intensity in critically ill patients is crucial because intense can cause adverse events, including poor survival rates; however, continuous evaluation difficult. Vital signs have traditionally been considered ineffective assessment; nevertheless, use of machine learning may automate assessment using vital signs. This retrospective observational study was performed at a university hospital Sendai, Japan. Objective assessments were eligible Critical-Care Pain...

The reduction of interconnect capacitance is essential high-speed data transmission and small power consumption core chips. We have chosen hybrid ULK structure which consists NCS (nano-clustering silica; k=2.25) at the wire level SiOC (k=2.9) via level. Although porous material, NCS/SiOC has sufficient mechanical strength to endure CMP pressure bonding. Successfully fabricated 200 nm-pitch hybrid-ULK/Cu...
In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, females take initiative to mate successfully because they decide whether or not. However, little is known about molecular and neuronal mechanisms regulating sexual receptivity in virgin females. Genetic tools available are useful for identifying molecules neural circuits involved regulation of receptivity. We previously demonstrated that insulin-producing cells (IPCs) female brain critical Ablation inactivation IPCs enhance receptivity, suggesting...
A digital anemometer using a self-heated thermistor as probe has been developed for low flow rate measurements. The principle of measurement is based on hot-wire anemometry. To enhance the sensitivity to while reducing convection due self-heating minimum, kept lowest possible temperature exhibiting negative resistance. heat removed from analyzed and compared with measured results, derive characteristic function which relates voltage across temperature. This transformed domain time by...
