Abstract State-of-the-art memristors are mostly formed by vertical metal–insulator–metal (MIM) structure, which rely on the formation of conductive filaments for resistive switching (RS). However, owing to stochastic filament, set/reset voltage MIM is difficult control, results in poor temporal and spatial uniformity. Here, a two-terminal lateral memristor based electron-beam-irradiated rhenium...

We report on the use of bromine intercalation of graphite to perform in situ tuning of the Schottky barrier height (SBH) formed at many-layer-graphene (MLG) semiconductor interfaces. The intercalation of Br into MLG simultaneously increases interlayer separation between the graphene planes, while at the same time giving rise to an increase (decrease) in the free hole carrier density (Fermi ener...

X linked lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (XLIS/SBH) is a disorder of cortical development, which causes classical lissencephaly with severe mental retardation and epilepsy in hemizygous males and SBH associated with milder mental retardation and epilepsy in heterozygous females. Here we report the fine mapping of a breakpoint involved in a de novo X;autosomal balanced translocati...

We have exploited conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM) to characterize the vertical current transport from graphene (Gr) to the 2D electron gas of AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures considering different kinds of AlGaN surfaces in terms of roughness and unevenness. The vertical current transport mechanism can radically change depending on these nanometer size superficial fluctuations whereby t...

In this paper, we analyze the light rays around a static hairy black hole in Horndeski gravity with use of ray-tracing procedure. We find that stronger parameter corresponds to larger photon sphere as well critical impact parameter, and wider ranges ring lensed emissions. These influences can be robustly interpreted from shape effective potential photon's radial motion. Based on distribution ra...

Stellar-mass BHs (sBHs) are predicted to be embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks due gravitational drag and in-situ star formation. However, we find that a high gas density an AGN disk environment, compact objects may rapidly grow intermediate-mass deplete matter from the unless accretion is suppressed by some feedback process(es). These consequences inconsistent with observations dyn...

Since the advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods in 1976, scientists have had the problem of inferring DNA sequences from sequenced fragments. Shotgun sequencing is a well-established biological and computational method used in practice. Many conventional algorithms for shotgun sequencing are based on the notion of pairwise fragment overlap. While shotgun sequencing infers a DNA sequence given ...

The length of time that patients spend on waiting lists is a topic of current concern. Calculating the proportion of patients who have been on a waiting list for a long time by taking a census of patients on the list at a single point in time will tend to yield a higher estimate than that obtained by calculating waiting times of patients admitted to hospital during a period of time. To illustra...

CRISPR-based transcription regulators (CRISPR-TRs) have transformed the current synthetic biology landscape by allowing specific activation or repression of any target gene. Here we report a modular and versatile framework enabling rapid implementation of inducible CRISPR-TRs in mammalian cells. This strategy relies on the design of a spacer-blocking hairpin (SBH) structure at the 5' end of the...

The article reports a comprehensive study optimizing the OFF- and ON-state characteristics of 3.3 kV junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes made using nickel, titanium, molybdenum contact metals. In this design, same implants used in optimized termination region are to form P-regions JBS active area. width spacing varied optimize both ON- OFF-state device. All tested displayed high blocking vol...
