Gold nanoparticles (GNP) and RGD peptide modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode was fabricated to enhance the electrochemical signals from neural stem cells (HB1.F3). Aminopropyltrimethoxylane (APTMS) was selfassembled on ITO electrode surface to immobilze GNP and its topological characteristics were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thereafter, cysteine containing RGD peptide...

BACKGROUND Transient outward K currents (Ito) have been reported both to suppress and to facilitate early afterdepolarizations (EADs) when repolarization reserve is reduced. Here, we used the dynamic clamp technique to analyze how Ito accounts for these paradoxical effects on EADs by influencing the dynamic evolution of repolarization reserve during the action potential. METHODS AND RESULTS I...

To evaluate the relationship, both quantitative and qualitative, between the Ito cells and methotrexate (MTX) therapy Ito cells were studied by light microscopy in 1 mum toluidine blue stained sections and by electron microscopy in 24 pairs of Menghini needle biopsies before and after MTX therapy of 24 consenting patients with severe psoriasis. Light microscopy showed a statistically significan...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a nickel (Ni)-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) anode were fabricated. The Ni-doped ITO anode was prepared using sputter deposition of Ni–ITO single targets consisting of 1, 3 and 5 wt% of nickel. Turn-on voltage of OLED devices with the Ni-doped ITO anode was reduced by 2.5, 4 and 3.8 V for 1, 3 and 5 wt% targets, respectively. Half-luminance lifetime was ...

I give a pedagogical introduction to Brownian motion, stochastic calculus introduced by Ito in the fifties, following the elementary (at least not too technical) approach by Föllmer [Föl81]. Based on this, I develop the connection with linear and semi-linear parabolic PDEs. Then, I provide and analyze some Monte Carlo methods to approximate the solution to these PDEs This course is aimed at mas...

The transient outward current (Ito) in cardiomyocytes is largely mediated by Kv4 channels associated with Kv Channel Interacting Protein 2 (KChIP2). A knockout model has documented the critical role of KChIP2 in Ito expression. The present study was conducted to characterize in both sexes the dependence of Ito properties, including current magnitude, inactivation kinetics, recovery from inactiv...

This article proposes an optimal method for approximate answer of stochastic Ito-Voltrra integral equations, via rationalized Haar functions and their stochastic operational matrix of integration. Stochastic Ito-voltreea integral equation is reduced to a system of linear equations. This scheme is applied for some examples. The results show the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

In this data article, ITO/AZO/Ge photodetector was investigated for electrical circuit model. Due to the double (ITO and AZO) transparent metal-oxide films (DOI:10.1016/j.mssp.2016.03.007) (Yun et al., 2016) [1], the Ge heterojunction device has a better interface quality due to the AZO layer with a low electrical resistance due to the ITO layer (Yun et al., 2015) [2]. The electrical and interf...

Fabrication and organosilane-functionalization and characterization of nanostructured ITO electrodes are reported. Nanostructured ITO electrodes were obtained by electron beam evaporation, and a subsequent annealing treatment was selectively performed to modify their crystalline state. An increase in geometrical surface area in comparison with thin-film electrodes area was observed by atomic fo...
