چکیده
A STUDY OF Nb 3 (A1.75Ge.2 5 ) AND V3 Au SUPERCONDUCTING TUNNEL JUNCTIONS by JAMES ALLEN GREGORY Nb3(Al 75Ge2 5 ) Pb7Bi3 and V3Au-In superconducing tunnel junctions have been fabricated. Various methods of surface preparation, oxidation, and junction fabrication have been investigated. The tunneling data obtained from the Nb3(A17 5Ge2 5 ) junctions indicate a superconducting energy gap, 2A, of the order of 8.8 mV or 5.4 kTco Thesis Supervisors: Robert M. Rose Professor of Metallurgy and Materials Science Margaret L.A. MacVicar Assistant Professor of Physics

Probing the electronic and structural properties of the niobium trimer cluster and its mono- and dioxides: Nb3On- and Nb3On (n = 0-2).
We report a photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) study on the electronic and structural properties of Nb(3)(-), Nb(3)O(-), Nb(3)O(2)(-), and the corresponding neutrals. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra are obtained for the anion clusters at different photon energies and are compared with DFT calculations to elucidate their structures and chemical bonding. We find th...
متن کاملLoss of neural recognition molecule NB-3 delays the normal projection and terminal branching of developing corticospinal tract axons in the mouse.
Neural recognition molecule NB-3 is involved in neural development and synapse formation. However, its role in axon tract formation is unclear. In this study, we found that the temporal expression of NB-3 in the deep layers of the motor cortex in mice was coincident with the development of the corticospinal tract (CST). Clear NB-3 immunoreactivity in the CST trajectory strongly suggested that N...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of Gleason score discrepancies between needle biopsy and radical prostatectomy.
OBJECTIVES Discordance between the Gleason score (GS) on needle biopsy (NB) and the GS of the radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen is a common finding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of these discrepancies with respect to outcomes following RP. METHODS In the study, 6625 men treated by RP were categorized as having NB=RP (68.8%), NBRP ...
متن کاملEocene-Oligocene volcanic units of momen abad, east of Iran: petrogenesis and magmatic evolution
This study investigates petrology and major, minor, and rare earth elements geochemistry of East Iranian Eocene–Oligocene volcanic rocks in Sistan suture zone, to examine their petrogenesis and magma evolution. The volcanic rocks include andesite, trachy-andesite, dacite and rhyolite. These calc-alkaline rocks of high-K series are enriched in Large Ion Lithophile Elements of Rb and Ba a...
متن کاملAntitumor activities of a new indolocarbazole substance, NB-506, and establishment of NB-506-resistant cell lines, SBC-3/NB.
The novel anticancer glucosyl derivative of indolo-carbazole (NB-506), an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I, exhibited strong in vitro cytotoxicity against various human cancer cell lines. In order to elucidate its cytotoxic mechanisms, we established nine NB-506-resistant sublines with different resistance ratios from human small cell lung cancer cells (SBC-3/P) by stepwise and brief exposure (...
متن کاملReceptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase α enhances cell surface expression of neural adhesion molecule NB-3.
Neural adhesion molecule NB-3 plays an important role in the apical dendrite development of layer V pyramidal neurons in the visual cortex, and receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase α (PTPα) mediates NB-3 signaling in this process. Here we investigated the role of PTPα in regulating cell surface expression of NB-3. We found that cortical neurons from PTPα knock-out mice exhibited a lower l...
