n-Si/Cd and n-Si/Pb Schottky junctions have been prepared by electrodeposition of Cd or Pb from acidic aqueous solutions onto H-terminated and CH3-terminated n-type Si 111 surfaces. For both nondegenerately nand degenerately n+doped H–Si 111 electrodes, Cd and Pb were readily electroplated and oxidatively stripped, consistent with a small barrier height b at the Si/solution and the Si/metal jun...

Low cost, high efficiency photovoltaic can help accelerate the adoption of solar energy. Using tapered indium phosphide nanopillars grown on a silicon substrate, we demonstrate a single nanopillar photovoltaic exhibiting illumination angle insensitive response. The photovoltaic employs a novel regrown core-shell p-i-n junction to improve device performance by eliminating shunt current paths, re...

Studies in the collagen and rabbit models of arthritis have indicated that indium-111 chloride (111InCl3) scintigraphy objectively measures synovial inflammation. Indium-111 chloride scans, with imaging three days after 19 MBq intravenous injection, were performed on 21 patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis (RA), all of whom were functional class II. Standard clinical indices...

Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive are at increased risk of life threatening infection. Scintigraphic imaging with Ga-67 citrate has been used to identify the presence and site of focal infection. However, focal accumulation of Ga-67 is not specific for infection. A retrospective study was performed to compare the accuracy of Ga-67 citrate and pooled human pol...

Introduction: Due to the interesting pharmacological properties of radiolabeled metal oxine derivatives such as cell internalization, tumor avidity and antiproteosome activity, 111In-tris[8-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline] (111In-HMQ) was developed in this study. Methods: 111In-HMQ was prepared using 111InCl3 and 8-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (HMQ) ...

The survival of red cells labelled with indium-111 oxine in the circulation was determined. In vivo distribution at equilibrium and sites of deposition at the T50In--that is, the half life of labelled red cells--were quantitated with a scintillation camera and computer assisted image analysis. Although the rate of elution. Of 111In from the red cells was higher than that of chromium-51-disodium...

Carcinoid is a neuroendocrine neoplasm derived from primitive stem cells, occurring most frequently in the alimentary tract. Somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy with indium-111 pentetreotide is a sensitive and noninvasive technique for imaging carcinoid and its metastatic spread. However, nontumoral lesions such as sarcoidosis may also express somatostatin receptors, which may present a diagnost...

Indium Tris-thiocarbamates, *H N M R Spectra Indium tris(thiocarbamates) In(S2CN'Pr2)3 (1), In(SOCN'Pr2)3 (2) and In(S2CNC4H4)3 (3) have been synthesized and characterized. Variable temperature *H NM R spectra of 1 and 2 are reported. The X-ray molecular structures of 1 and 3 are found to be quite similar; the symmetry of the In(S2C)3 unit in 3 is close to point group D 3 with small asymmetry i...

5(S),6(R)-7-trihydroxymethyl heptanoate (BML-111) is an lipoxin A4 receptor agonist, which modulates the immune response and attenuates hemorrhagic shock-induced acute lung injury. However, the role of BML-111 in sepsis and in the intestinal mucosal barrier are not well understood. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of BML-111 on the intestinal mucosal barrier i...
