This study investigates the effect of gate insulators on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using an amorphous InGaZnO4 (a-IGZO) channel layer. TFTs with single-layer Ta2O5 and dual-layer Ta2O5/SiO2 were fabricated a glass substrate. An evaluation insulating film MIM (Metal-Insulator-Metal) structure confirmed its electrical characteristics. Microscopic imaging showed that dielectric significantly im...

This study examined the effect of tissue section thickness and consistency--parameters outside the direct control of the imaging devices themselves--on WSI capture speed and image quality. Preliminary data indicates that thinner, more consistent tissue sectioning (such as those produced by automated tissue sectioning robots) results in significantly faster WSI capture times and better image qua...

BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids play a critical role in normative regulation of fetal brain development. Exposure to excessive levels may have detrimental consequences and disrupt maturational processes. This may especially be true when synthetic glucocorticoids are administered during the fetal period, as they are to women in preterm labor. This study investigated the consequences for brain develop...

OBJECTIVE To determine the normality mean values in the soft tissue cephalometric measurements of young Japanese-Brazilian, with normal occlusion and to compare the results of the variables with compatible samples of young Caucasians and Mongoloids. METHODS Forty radiographs of young Caucasians, 32 of Japanese-Brazilians and 33 of Mongoloids were used. The three samples presented individuals ...
