Measurements are presented of the reverse bias currents in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nip diode sensors with sizes characteristic of those used in two dimensional sensor arrays. Several plates of sensors from different depositions were examined. The sensor currents have a common low-voltage characteristic due to 'central' leakage currents which scale with the sensor's area. At larger voltag...

The PDBFlex database, available freely and with no login requirements at http://pdbflex.org, provides information on flexibility of protein structures as revealed by the analysis of variations between depositions of different structural models of the same protein in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). PDBFlex collects information on all instances of such depositions, identifying them by a 95% sequence...

Assistant Professor of Botany, Duke University, Durham, N.C. 27706; and Research Assistant, Department of Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 Abstract: Precipitation and dry fallout were collected over a 2-year period at a remote site in the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara County, California, USA and analyzed for nutrient content. Mean annual depositions o...

We present a global dioxin model that simulates one year of atmospheric emissions, transport processes, and depositions to the earth's terrestrial and marine habitats. We map starting emission levels for each land area, and we also map the resulting deposits to terrestrial and marine environments. This model confirms that 'hot spots' of deposition are likely to be in northern Europe, eastern No...

Indian is reticent source of medicinal and potential plants source and varieties of chemical substances. The narrow region of soil is directly influenced by root exudates used in rhizophere and associated soil micro organism. Recent studies have shown that, in natural ecosystems, plant diversity (Prober et al., 2015) and the genotypes of individual plants (Coats et al., 2014) can influence the ...

For decades, parties accused of patent infringement in district court litigation have relied upon the doctrine of inherent anticipation to attack the validity of patent claims. Generally, such inherency arguments are supported by testimony from an expert witness. Because America Invents Act reviews before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board allow parties to subm...

We obtain the vacuum solutions for M-theory compactified on eight-manifolds with non-vanishing four-form flux by analyzing the scalar potential appearing in the threedimensional theory. Many of these vacua are not supersymmetric and yet have a vanishing three-dimensional cosmological constant.We show that in the context of type-IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds with fluxes and exte...
