Abstract The defect generation and recovery are studied in a high- k HfO 2 /SiO /Si stack for MOSFETs, at each fabrication step. is fabricated well-established manner, via chemical oxidation SiO interfacial layer atomic deposition layer, followed by post-deposition annealing (PDA), O plasma treatment, forming gas (FGA). Throughout the fabrication, carrier lifetime measured monitoring defects st...

The purpose of this study was to explore the peptides that are related to acute reduction of blood pressure after alcohol drinking. Venous blood was collected from male healthy volunteers before and after drinking white wine (3 ml/kg weight) containing 13% of ethanol. Peptidome analysis for serum samples was performed using a new target plate, BLOTCHIP®. Alcohol caused significant decreases in ...

The impact of antipsychotic drug treatment on sexual function was investigated during a randomised trial comparing first generation antipsychotics (FGAs) to (nonclozapine) second generation antipsychotics (SGAs). Sexual function and quality of life were (rater-blind) assessed in 42 patients with DSM-IV schizophrenia (aged 18-65) using the self-report version of the Derogatis Interview for Sexua...

Phenyl (PHY) is one of the chemicals which are used as a disinfectant in world due to its toxic potential. Cleaning workers directly exposed it institutes, hospitals and houses. Cow urine/Go Ark (GA) has been proved bioenhancer many studies. The present study dealt with vitro analysis PHY induced cytotoxicity (CT) on human peripheral blood lymphocytes ameliorative potential Distillate cow (DGA)...

Advancing age is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and cancer, and shows significant inter-individual variability. To identify ageing-related biomarkers we performed a proteomic analysis on 1890 Chinese Han individuals, 1136 males and 754 females, aged 18 to 82 years, using weak cation exchange magnetic bead based MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. The study identified 44 peptides w...

Formiminoglutamic acid is a product derived from the metabolism of histidine by mammalian liver and several microorganisms (l-3). The metabolism of FGA’ is dependent upon the presence of tetrahydrofolic acid (4, 5), and consequently this formimino compound is excreted in the urine of human subjects or laboratory rats which have a deficiency of folic acid (6-8). Daft (6) has reported that suitab...

Fibrinogen is a hexameric protein composed of Aa, Bb and g chain pairs [1] encoded by three paralogous genes, FGA, FGB and FGG [2]. Fibrinogen variants are the consequence of mutations in FGA, FGB or FGG and may result in afibrinogenaemia, hypofibrinogenaemia, dysfibrinogenaemia or hypodysfibrinogenaemia. Dysfibrinogenaemia is characterized by a fibrinogen structural abnormality responsible for...

We adopt the frozen Gaussian approximation (FGA) for modeling seismic waves. The method belongs to the category of ray-based beam methods. It decomposes seismic wavefield into a set of Gaussian functions and propagates these Gaussian functions along appropriate ray paths. As opposed to the classic Gaussian-beam method, FGA keeps the Gaussians frozen (at a fixed width) during the propagation pro...

There are many GA-hard problems that are difficult to solve by the traditional GAs such as problems with multi-modal and deceptive evaluation functions [4] [15]. Many kinds of modified GAs that are aimed to solve these problems are p r o p o s e d s u c h a s C H C [ 2 ] , m G A [ 5 ] , GENITOR[13] and Niche Method[4]. In this paper, we propose a new type of GA, that is, the forking Genetic Alg...
