We previously identified miR-4731-5p (miR-4731) as a melanoma-enriched microRNA following comparison of melanoma with other cell lines from solid malignancies. Additionally, miR-4731 has been found in serum from melanoma patients and expressed less abundantly in metastatic melanoma tissues from stage IV patients relative to stage III patients. As miR-4731 has no known function, we used biotin-l...

this paper analyses and compares the performances of business-to-business e-commerce data quality and service quality among the use of the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ models. rosettanet’s original partner interface processes use the ‘push’ model which suffers from data redundancy when the volume of business-to-business transaction increases. however, when the ‘pull’ model is used, although it reduces dat...

BiCMOS technology [1] offers both the high driving capability of bipolar devices and the high input impedance of CMOS devices. The potential of BiCMOS technology has been demonstrated in a variety of applications such as gate arrays [2], static RAMs [3], dynamic RAMs [4] and microprocessors [5]. One of drawbacks of the conventional BiCMOS process is that the integration density is rather low si...

Abstract — In CMOS circuit’s design, as the threshold voltage is reduced due to voltage scaling, it leads to increase in sub-threshold leakage current and hence static power dissipation. In this paper we propose a power reduction technique named transistor gating. In this technique two sleep transistors PMOS and NMOS are inserted in between the supply voltage and ground. A PMOS is inserted in b...

We prove that for a flipping contraction from a Gorenstein terminal 4fold, the pull back of a general hyperplane section of the down-stair has only canonical singularities. Based on this fact and using Siu-Kawamata-Nakayama’s extension theorem [Si], [Kaw4], [Kaw5] and [Nak2], we prove the existence of the flip of such a flipping contraction. Furthermore we classify such flipping contractions an...

The rat optic nerve is a useful model for stem cell regeneration research. Direct injection into the rat optic nerve allows delivery into the central nervous system in a minimally-invasive surgery without bone removal. This technique describes an approach to visualization and direct injection of the optic nerve following minor fascial dissection from the orbital ridge, using a conjunctival trac...

The fringe field effects of nano-electromechanical (NEM) nonvolatile memory cells have been investigated analytically for the accurate evaluation of NEM memory cells. As the beam width is scaled down, fringe field effect becomes more severe. It has been observed that pull-in, release and hysteresis voltage decrease more than our prediction. Also, the fringe field on cell characteristics has bee...

In this paper, we present an accurate method for analytical derivation of noise rejection curves (NRCs) and the associated noise susceptibility metric in the presence of variations in process and environmental parameters. The method involves modeling of the pull-up and pull-down resistances of combinational gates using approximated BSIM4 model-based device equations. Comparisons of the analytic...

Becoming members of social networking websites is now one of the most popular on-line activities. Although the number of users has been growing exponentially in social network sites (SNS), some SNSs are facing a financial crisis and might be shut down in the near future. Therefore, understand users’ incentives to switch to another SNS has great influence on operators’ business performance. The ...
