Visibly highly transparent indium tin oxide (ITO)/epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing polyglycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) grafted ITO nanoparticles into a commercial epoxy resin. The oleic acid stabilized, highly crystalline, and near monodisperse ITO nanoparticles were synthesized via a nonaqueous synthetic route with multigram batch quantities. An azido-phosphate ligand was synthesi...

The concurrent effect of various internal and external factors on IT Outsourcing (ITO) decision making has seldom been investigated in a single study. Furthermore, research on external factors is scarce and there is no comprehensive theory that can fully explain ITO decisions made in practice. This paper explains how key decision factors, both internal and external, influence ITO decision makin...

The optical and electrical properties of indium tin oxide (ITO)(60 nm), Ni(3.5 nm)/ITO(60 nm) and Ni(5 nm)/Au(5 nm) films were studied. It was found that the normalized transmittance of ITO and Ni/ITO films could reach 98.2% and 86.6% at 470 nm, which was much larger than that of the Ni/Au film. It was also found that both Ni/ITO and Ni/Au could form good ohmic contact on top of p-GaN. In contr...

This study presents the fabrication of crystalline indium tin oxide (c-ITO) patterns on glass substrate using laser-induced crystallization followed by chemical etching. In the proposed approach, an amorphous ITO (a-ITO) thin film was transformed into a c-ITO structure over a predetermined area using infrared picosecond fiber laser irradiation with a 500 kHz repetition rate, under a single lase...

In the last two decades, much light has been shed on hepatic fibrosis, and the activation / proliferation of Ito cells (IC) emerged to play a central role. Therefore, it is essential to have solid quantitative data in nonpathological statuses; yet, this data is scarce and confined to "number per area" or semiquantitative information. Moreover, the supposed heterogeneous distribution of IC in th...

The biological effects of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) are of considerable importance because workers exposed to indium compounds have been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease or pulmonary alveolar proteinosis; however, the pathophysiology of these diseases is undefined. Here, mice intraperitoneally inoculated with ITO-nanoparticles (ITO-NPs) resulted in peritonitis dependent in NLRP3 inflammaso...

We discuss the N = 2 super W algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras A(n|n− 1) and A(n|n)(1). From the quantum hamiltonian reduction of A(n|n− 1) we get the free field realization of N = 2 CPn super coset models. In the case of the affine Lie superalgebras A(n|n)(1), the corresponding conformal field theories do not have N = 2 superconformal symmetry. However we show...

For a one-parameter process of the form X, = X0 + & (b, d W, + & & ds, where W is a Wiener process and I+ d W is a stochastic integral, a twice continuously differentiable function f(X,) is again expressible as the sum of a stochastic integral and an ordinary integral via the Ito differentiation formula. In this paper we present a generalization for the stochastic integrals associated with a tw...

In this study, indium-tin oxide (ITO)/Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) composite films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition and used as transparent contact layers (TCLs) in GaN-based blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The ITO/AZO TCLs were composed of the thin ITO (50 nm) films and AZO films with various thicknesses from 200 to 1000 nm. Conventional LED with ITO (200 nm) TCL prepared by E-beam e...

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on methodological aspects of the information technology outsourcing (ITO) surveys, in an attempt to improve the data quality and reporting in survey research. It is based on a review of thirty articles on ITO surveys and focuses on two commonly explored dimensions of ITO, namely what are outsourced and why should there be ITO. This study highl...
