A low voltage all silicon microdisplay is presented based on MOS-like gate-control all-Silicon light-emitting diode (LED) in standard 0.18 ?m complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The LED designed under a PN alternate structure with polysilicon gate control electrode for high luminous intensity and operating voltage. device fabricated the as pixel units. size of proposed 6....

In this study, we described the phenotype of monoallelic interleukin 2 receptor gamma knockout (mIL2RG+/Δ69-368 KO) pigs. Approximately 80% of mIL2RG+/Δ69-368 KO pigs (8/10) were athymic, whereas 20% (2/10) presented a rudimentary thymus. The body weight of IL2RG+/Δ69-368KO pigs developed normally. Immunological analysis showed that mIL2RG+/Δ69-368 KO pigs possessed CD25+CD44- or CD25-CD44+ cel...

Recently, there is a need for fostering the critical reflective side of L2 teacher education. This study investigated the implications of personal narrative (PN) and reflective journal (RJ) writing for Iranian EFL teachers’ reflective writing. Sixty (36 women and 24 men) in-service secondary school EFL teachers were selected based on the convenience sampling from Iran. L2 teachers equally divid...

For paths Pn, G. Chartrand, L. Nebeský and P. Zhang showed that ac′(Pn) ≤ ( n−2 2 ) +2 for every positive integer n, where ac′(Pn) denotes the nearly antipodal chromatic number of Pn. In this paper we show that ac′(Pn) ≤ ( n−2 2 ) − n2 − b 10 n c + 7 if n is even positive integer and n ≥ 10, and ac′(Pn) ≤ ( n−2 2 ) − n−1 2 − b 13 n c + 8 if n is odd positive integer and n ≥ 13. For all even pos...

Background: Cobalamin deficiency and peripheral neuropathy (PN) are commonly seen in HIV-infected adults. The level of urine methylmalonic acid (UMMA), a reliable indicator of tissue cobalamin status, was determined in HIV infected subjects with and without PN to establish this association. Methods: One hundred and ninety-eight (198) consenting HIV infected subjects with and without PN were rec...

8-Prenylnaringenin (8-PN) is a phytoestrogen with the highest estrogenic activity. The objective of the present study was to confirm the superiority of 8-PN on bone metabolisms and the estrogen receptor (ER) subtype mediating effects of 8-PN. The osteoblast MC3T3-E1 and osteoclast-like cell line RAW264.7 were treated with 17β-estradiol (10(-8) mol/L), genistein (10(-5) mol/L), daidzein (10(-5) ...

The endgame of Lines of Action (LOA) is problematic because (1) LOA evaluation functions are not good predictors in the case of forced wins and (2) the state-space complexity of the LOA endgame is too large to use endgame databases. Because of the frequency of forced moves and the mobility component in the LOA endgame the utility of proof-number (PN) search is investigated in this paper. Also t...
