The dead-space multiplication theory of Hayat and Saleh @J. Lightwave Technol. 10, 1415 ~1992!#, in conjunction with the multiplication-width-independent ionization-coefficient model developed by Saleh et al. @IEEE Trans. Electron Devices 47, 625 ~2000!#, are shown to accurately predict breakdown voltages for thin avalanche photodiodes of GaAs, InP, In0.52Al0.48As, and Al0.2Ga0.8As, over a broa...

The species morphologically similar to gloriamaris (Chemnitz, 1777) southwestern Pacific and represents a geographically-isolated relict once widespread molluscan fauna that extended all along coast Middle Pleistocene Sundaland Peninsula

A major obstacle to the development of effective treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is successfully delivery of drugs to the brain. We have previously identified a series of benzothiazole phosphonate compounds that block the interaction of amyloid-β peptide with amyloid-β binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD). A selective and sensitive method for the presence of three new benzothiazole ABAD i...
