Computational modeling is used to describe the mechanisms governing energy level alignment between an organic semiconductor (OSC) and a metal covered by various self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). In particular, we address the question to what extent and under what circumstances SAM-induced work-function modifications lead to an actual change of the barriers for electron and hole injection from t...

OpenSound Control (OSC) is a new protocol for high-level, expressive control of sound synthesis and other multimedia applications. It includes time-tagged messages, guaranteed atomicity of messages with the same time tag, and regular expression address patterns that can match multiple messages in a receiving application. We hope OSC becomes a standard, and towards this end have made available a...

Material and methods For this purpose, we adopted the strategy of RT-PCR using degenerated primers obtained from sequences of known plant OSC genes. Total RNA was extracted from leaves of M. ilicifolia and used in the synthesis of cDNA. The PCR amplification of core fragments of OSC genes was performed with partially degenerated primers designed to anneal to highly conserved regions among OSC g...

En este artículo se analiza el desarrollo y proceso de profesionalización las organizaciones la sociedad civil (OSC) en México, desde perspectiva gobernanza. Se realizó una recolección análisis los datos públicos del Instituto Nacional Desarrollo Social (Indesol) Servicio Administración Tributaria (sat). detectó existencia 42 602 osc, lo que representa 3.3 por cada 10 000 habitantes dedicadas a...

OSC-Qasm is a cross-platform, Python-based, OSC interface for executing Qasm code. It serves as simple way to connect creative programming environments like Max (with The QAC Toolkit) and Pure Data with real quantum hardware, using the Open Sound Control protocol. In this paper, authors introduce context meaning of developing tool this, what it can offer artists.

The PLS B algorithm is used as a tool to investigate the relationships among several data sets. The ,rst step of this algorithm entails an iterative procedure the convergence of which is not proved. In this paper, an alternative procedure is discussed. It achieves the same purpose and its convergence is proven. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Computer task performance is an essential driver of end user productivity. Recent research indicates that computer self-efficacy (CSE) is an important determinant of computer task performance. Contrary to the significant interest in understanding the role of CSE in predicting computer task performance, little attention has been given to understanding the role of personal goal (PG), which can be...

Off-Site Construction (OSC), which has the advantage of improving construction productivity, is being spotlighted as a solution to limitations conventional production methods. Despite need for, and various advantages of, introduction utilization OSC, however, several issues remain, such design errors reduction in completeness, due lack experience expertise project participants, well improper co...

This study is aimed at achieving the optimum conditions of hydrothermal treatment and acetylation of Populus fiber to improve its oil sorption capacity (OSC) in an oil-water mixture. The characteristics of the hydrolyzed and acetylated fibers were comparatively investigated by FT-IR, CP-MAS 13C-NMR, SEM and TGA. The optimum conditions of the hydrothermal treatment and acetylation were obtained ...
