This investigation reports on the characteristics of MAPbI3 perovskite films on obliquely sputtered ITO/glass substrates that are fabricated with various sputtering times and sputtering angles. The grain size of a MAPbI3 perovskite film increases with the oblique sputtering angle of ITO thin films from 0° to 80°, indicating that the surface properties of the ITO affect the wettability of the PE...

Given the immense variety of compounds being developed for introduction into the human environment, reliable medium term alternatives to traditional long term rodent test protocols for carcinogen risk assessment are a high priority. In vivo models are necessary because it has been well established that there is a lack of complete correlation between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity . Optimally,...

Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome with characteristic whirled hypopigmented skin lesions and neurological manifestations. Less consistently, there may be non-neurological manifestations that include ophthalmic, musculoskeletal, craniofacial, cardiac, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal involvements. We report a case of HI, with typical skin lesions in association with ...

The Japanese species of the genus Adicella McLachlan (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) are reviewed and confirmed, including a described species and 3 new species: A. makaria Malicky & Chantaramongkol 2002, originally described from Taiwan, A. trichotoma Ito & Kuhara sp. nov., A. paludicola Ito & Kuhara sp. nov., and A. strigillata Katsuma & Ito sp. nov. For clear comparisons, adults of all species a...

A novel polymer-layer-free system for liquid-crystal alignment is demonstrated by various shaped indium tin oxide (ITO) patterns. Liquid crystals are aligned along the ITO line pattern and secondary sputtering lithography can change the shape of the ITO line pattern. Different shapes can control the direction and size of the pretilt angle. This effect eliminates defects and reduces the response...

Looking foward to the future where the device becomes flexible and rollable, indium tin oxide (ITO) fabricated on the plastic substrate becomes indispensable. Metallization on the ITO plastic substrate is an essential and required process. Electroplating is a cost-effective and high-throughput metallization process; however, the poor surface coverage and interfacial adhesion between electroplat...

The governance of IT outsourcing (ITO) has been identified as an essential determinant for ITO success. Prior studies have shed light on effective governance forms in different organizational contexts, but few have studied the association between governance forms and interpersonal networks. With a single case study from a vendor’s perspective in an ITO dyad, this research strives to explore and...
