Simulation Study of Front-Lit Versus Back-Lit Si Solar Cells

Packaging and Interconnection of a Back - Lit CCD Sensor Device

This paper describes the engineering and development of a process to electrically and mechanically bond a large area, backlit charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor to a metallized substrate, using a materials system compatible with a high vacuum tube configuration. The CCD sensor is used in light sensor and digital camera devices. Currently, CCD devices are mechanically bonded to substrates using ...

The putative eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is a highly conserved and essential protein present in all organisms except bacteria. To be activated, eIF5A requires the conversion of a specific residue of lysine into hypusine. This hypusine modification occurs posttranslationally in two enzymatic steps, and the polyamine spermidine is the substrate. Despite having an essential...

A major limitation of high-throughput DNA sequencing is the high rate of erroneous base calls produced. For instance, Illumina sequencing machines produce errors at a rate of ∼0.1–1 × 10 per base sequenced. These technologies typically produce billions of base calls per experiment, translating to millions of errors. We have developed a unique library preparation strategy, “circle sequencing,” w...

Lit Review – 9 - 20 - 16

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are expressed at high levels in cancer and form a fostering environment that is essential for tumor development. Here, we review the recent data in this area, concentrating mainly on Hsp27, Hsp70, and Hsp90. The overriding role of HSPs in cancer is to stabilize the active functions of overexpressed and mutated cancer genes. Thus, elevated HSPs are required for many of ...
