Nonequilibrium distribution functions (NDFs) for trap states in the mobility gap under photoillumination and zero bias voltage are derived by a constructed self-consistent drift–diffusion simulator consisting of Poisson equation current continuity equations hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). Regarding temperature dependence NDF, we find that values NDF decrease with increasing (negative d...

The images above were featured in the recent Biomedical Image Awards of the Wellcome Centre Medical Photographic Library in London, UK. They are part of a growing collection, now numbering over 150 000 images. In the photograph at top left, spinal nerves can be seen growing into the wing bud of a four-day chick embryo. Amid the long striations of the sea squirt heart at bottom left, the gap jun...

In this paper, we tackle the unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation, which aims to segment unlabeled real data using labeled synthetic data. The main problem of UDA segmentation relies on reducing gap between image and image. To solve problem, focused separating information in an into content style. Here, only has cues style makes gap. Thus, precise separation leads effe...

Pacemaker activities generated by networks of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), in conjunction with the enteric nervous system, orchestrate most motor patterns in the gastrointestinal tract. It was our objective to understand the role of network features of ICC associated with the myenteric plexus (ICC-MP) in the shaping of motor patterns of the small intestine. To that end, a model of weakly ...

Protein interactions with the integrin beta-subunit cytoplasmic domain (beta-tail) are essential for adhesion-dependent processes, including cell spreading and the connection of integrins with actin filaments at adhesion sites. Talin-1 binds to the conserved membrane-proximal NPxY motif of beta-tails (NPIY in beta1 integrin) promoting the inside-out activation of integrins and providing a linka...

In his 1998 book ”Why Is Sex Fun?” [2] Jared Diamond assumed he was asking a rhetorical question. How could it not be fun for those at the tail end of billions of years of evolution? In the meantime, however, an emerging subspecies of economists have been arguing that Diamond’s question needs to be taken seriously: sex is fun only by evolutionary accident, and not because it is an action promot...

A detailed study of the implantation induced damage in Si on sapphire, carried out by optical absorption measurements extending from energies above the band gap down to energies far into the sub gap region of Si, is presented. The changes induced in the optical band gap, band edge slopes and in the sub gap features of the spectra are carefully described. The various stages of formation and quen...

It is as yet unknown how the assembly of connexins (Cx) into gap junctions (GJ) is initiated upon cell-cell contact. We investigated whether the trafficking and assembly of Cx43 and Cx32 into GJs were contingent upon cell-cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin. We also examined the role of the carboxyl termini of these Cxs in initiating the formation of GJs. Using cadherin and Cx-null cells, and ...
