An interesting device design including a zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) current blocking layer (CBL) and ZrO surface passivation (SPL) is employed to manufacture GaN/InGaN light-emitting diode (LED). Based on the inherently good performance of , spreading effect undesired leakage are efficiently enhanced suppressed, respectively. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), atomic force microscopy (AF...

Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering has proved to be an effective method for software production. However, in the SPL community it is well recognized that variability in SPLs is increasing by the thousands. Hence, an automatic support is needed to deal with variability in SPL. Most of the current proposals for automatic reasoning on SPL are not devised to cope with extra– functional feature...

The Penman text generation system has been used within several different experimental application domains, demonstrating that it provides the basis for an adaptable general purpose text generation capability. Linking with these applications also indicated several ways that Penman's interface with applications could be improved. Penman's interface with applications is described, focusing on SPL,...

Sphingolipid metabolites such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide modulate apoptosis during development and in response to stress. In general, ceramide promotes apoptosis, whereas S1P stimulates cell proliferation and protects against apoptosis. S1P is irreversibly degraded by the enzyme S1P lyase (SPL). In this study, we show a crucial role for SPL in mediating cellular responses to ...

Aerodynamic bogie noise was quantitatively estimated at a wayside observation point by using spatial distribution of the sound pressure level (SPL) obtained two-dimensional microphone array in wind tunnel test. In order to evaluate SPL, it is necessary appropriately consider generation and field with respect various acoustic properties such as ground reflection insertion loss side cover. this s...

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that promotes cardiomyocyte survival and contributes to ischemic preconditioning. S1P lyase (SPL) is a stress-activated enzyme responsible for irreversible S1P catabolism. We hypothesized that SPL contributes to oxidative stress by depleting S1P pools available for cardioprotective signaling. Accordingly, we evaluated SPL inhibition as a...

The cohesin protein complex functionally interacts with Polycomb group (PcG) silencing proteins to control expression of several key developmental genes, such as the Drosophila Enhancer of split gene complex [E(spl)-C]. The E(spl)-C contains 12 genes that inhibit neural development. In a cell line derived from the central nervous system, cohesin and the PRC1 PcG protein complex bind and repress...

The Enhancer of split gene complex (E(SPL)-C) of Drosophila comprises seven genes encoding bHLH proteins, which are required by neuroectodermal cells for epidermal development. Using promoter and gene fusions with the lacZ gene, we determined the location of cis-acting sequences necessary for normal expression of two of the genes of the E(SPL)-C, E(spl) and HLH-m5. About 0.46 kb of E(spl) and 1...
