We report a transient absorption (TA) imaging method for fast visualization and quantitative layer analysis of graphene and GO. Forward and backward imaging of graphene on various substrates under ambient condition was imaged with a speed of 2 μs per pixel. The TA intensity linearly increased with the layer number of graphene. Real-time TA imaging of GO in vitro with capability of quantitative ...

This report outlines the motivation and goals of the First International Workshop on Technical Debt Analytics (TDA 2016), presents the workshop programme, introduces the work accepted for presentation, and summarizes the major results and themes that emerged from the discussion and activities undertaken during the workshop.

The toxin-antitoxin (TA) system is a regulatory system where two sets of genes encode the toxin and its corresponding antitoxin. In this study, the prevalence of TA systems in independently isolated clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis was determined, the dominant TA system was identified, different virulence genes in E. faecium and E. faecalis were surveyed, the ...

There is increasing evidence that androgens play a significant role in the development and progression of breast cancer. 5alpha-Reductase (SRD5A2) is an enzyme that is expressed in androgen-dependent tissues, and it catalyzes the reduction of testosterone to its more bioactive form, dihydrotestosterone, which then transactivates a number of genes. One of these genes encodes for prostate-specifi...

X-ray diffraction analysis of the alloy system Co-Ni-Cr-Ta showed that the ternary alloy base consisted of three phases (a, ,8, and v-). Addition of Ta caused a decrease in the intensity of the 3 lines. Further Ta additions caused diffraction lines characteristic of the intermetallic compound a-Co3Ta. At higher Ta concentrations, the intensity of the lines characteristic of the aphase increased...

during the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (dea), have been investigated by manyresearchers. the motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. more-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output red...

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs provide cash assistance to individuals who have disabilities that limit work. Although people who are homeless have a particularly urgent need for this kind of assistance, they are much less likely to be approved for benefits compared to other applicants. The SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (...

This paper presents a case study of the experience of a technical architecture team, the TA-CE Team, when developing an architectural design description (ADD) for an IT system focused on the communications engineering views of the technology viewpoint. The project charter and requirements for the assignments of the TA-CE Team project are based on a real-world initiative to improve electronic co...

The zygomycete Blakeslea trispora is used commercially as natural source of â-carotene. Trisporic acid (TA) is secreted from the mycelium of B. trispora during mating between heterothallic strains and is considered as a mediator of the regulation of mating processes and an enhancer of carotene biosynthesis. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and multivariate analysis were employed to investig...
