whose revenues continue to increase, the society remains in outstanding financial health. Society membership increased during FY 2012: membership-only subscriptions increased from 456 in 2011 to 732 in 2012, while society membership + journal subscriptions increased from 239 in 2011 to 313 in 2012. The society used its income to publish its two journals, MBE and GBE, and to support its annual m...

High-quality GaN epitaxial films have been grown on Si substrates with Al buffer layer by the combination of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technologies. MBE is used to grow Al buffer layer at first, and then PLD is deployed to grow GaN epitaxial films on the Al buffer layer. The surface morphology, crystalline quality, and interfacial property of as-grown GaN ep...

Background: Antiplatelet treatment (APT) perioperative care in non-cardiac surgery (NCS) patients who have previously undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still a problem. Our goal was to figure out if serious adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular incidents (MACCE) bleeding events (MBE) are connected with the various APT regimens, either single (SAPT) or dual (DAPT). Methods: Thi...

The Vietnamese are a quickly growing, important part of the Texas population. Breast cancer is known to have different biologic characteristics in Vietnamese women. In order to develop appropriate intervention and screening strategies, we conducted a study of barriers to cervical and breast screening in Vietnamese women in Harris County, Tex. Our objective was to characterize the demographic fa...

Abstract Monolayers of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are grown on graphite substrates using high-temperature molecular beam epitaxy (HT-MBE). The hBN monolayers observed to grow predominantly from step edges the surface and exhibit a strong dependence morphology, including dominant crystallographic edge, monolayers, growth temperature, as well systematic variations in rate coverage, significant...

Moral bioenhancement (MBE) aims to fix our moral agency itself in order prevent us from engaging negligent or harmful behavior. Although such (self)-paternalistic practice might very well produce good outcomes, it can be argued – inspired by Kant that is intrinsically disrespectful towards future agency. Hence, we are faced with the following ethical dilemma: failure engage MBE seems reckless a...

We report on realization and transport spectroscopy study of single quantum dots (QDs) made from InSb nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The nanowires employed are 50-80 nm in diameter and the QDs are defined in the nanowires between the source and drain contacts on a Si/SiO2 substrate. We show that highly tunable QD devices can be realized with the MBE-grown InSb nanowires and th...

Se evaluó prevalencia enseñanza del curso MBE escuelas medicina peruanas, el semestre que se enseñaba y obligatoriedad. Hallazgos: De 44 evaluadas, ocho (18,2%) incluían un sus estudio, cinco (62,5%...

The microbiology of the Built Environment network (microBEnet: http://www. microbe.net/) was formed as an experiment in interdisciplinary community building, with an overarching goal to facilitate and nurture the development of a new research field: the microbiology of the built environment (MBE). The field of MBE research was conceived based on the reasoning that modern humans spend most of th...

Accurate partitioning of the evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) components of evapotranspiration (ET) in remote sensing models is important for evaluating strategies aimed at increasing crop water productivity. A two-source energy balance (TSEB) model designed for row crops solves the energy balance of the soil-canopy-atmosphere continuum using surface brightness temperature. By solving the ...
