The GaAs-HBT technology nowadays is a standard technology, which is readily available to circuit designers. However, while at least three highly accurate models for Si-based HBTs are available, good models for the GaAs and InP world are rare. In this documentation of the FBH HBT model, also the specific challenges in the modeling of these HBTs are highlighted.

This study investigated the removal of five selected non-phenolic trace organic contaminants (TrOC) by extracellular enzyme extract from a white-rot fungus. Except diclofenac, no other investigated non-phenolic TrOC were degraded by the extracellular enzyme extract. Improvement of enzymatic degradation of all TrOC was achieved in the presence of a redox mediator, namely, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole ...

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimise the decolouration of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by crude laccase from the white-rot fungus Trametes pubescens. The presence of the redox mediator 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) greatly improved the decolouration levels of RB5 by crude laccase from T. pubescens. Central composite design (CCD) using RSM with three variables namely...

The systematic investigation of observables generated by the broken azimuthal symmetry of non-central nuclear collisions [1] has lead to major insight in the dynamics of the expansion. In particular the large signal of anisotropic particle flow [2] requires a surprisingly efficient microscopic rescattering mechanisms [3] and even agrees with the limit of infinitely short rescattering lengths, n...

Decolorization of six synthetic dyes using three sources of fungal laccase with the origin of Aspergillus oryzae, Trametes versicolor, and Paraconiothyrium variabile was investigated. Among them, the enzyme from P. variabile was the most efficient which decolorized bromophenol blue (100%), commassie brilliant blue (91%), panseu-S (56%), Rimazol brilliant blue R (RBBR; 47%), Congo red (18.5%), a...

INTRODUCTION Improving access to HIV testing is a key priority in scaling up HIV treatment and prevention services. Home-based voluntary counselling and testing (HBT) as an approach to delivering wide-scale HIV testing is explored here. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of studies published between 1 January 2000 and 24 September 2012 that ...

A screening using several laccase mediators (2,2-azinobis(3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), Nhydroxyacetanilide (NHA), 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxy (TEMPO) and violuric acid (VA)) was performed on the degradation of three reactive textile dyes: Reactive Black 5 (RB5), Reactive Blue 114 (RB114) and Reactive Yellow 15 (RY15). ABTS was the most effe...

In the current studies, we used Lineweaver-Burke analysis to examine the role of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) in the oxidation of various compounds by laccase from Trametes versicolor. At low concentrations, HBT was a competitive inhibitor of the oxidation, but at high concentrations, it was a noncompetitive inhibitor. Analysis of the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by the laccase-HBT couple sho...

BACKGROUND Telangiectasia, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin of small, varying diameter, are critical dermoscopy structures used in the detection of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Distinguishing these vessels from other telangiectasia, that are commonly found in sun-damaged skin, is challenging. METHODS Image analysis techniques are investigated to find vessels structures in BCC...

We are submitting commentary on behalf of Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered, also known as FORCE, which represents nearly a million people living with a BRCA genetic mutation in the U.S. We are also representing populations affected by Lynch Syndrome, Cowden Syndrome, Fanconi Anemia, Ataxia Telangiectasia, Li Fraumeni, and other hereditary cancer communities. Altogether, it is estimated that ...
