A fundamental study on the effect that pre-coating a substrate with metal spraying has on the properties of sputtered Titanium-nitride film (TiN film) was carried out. The residual stresses in TiN films sputtered on the substrates coated with various spray coatings were measured by X-ray stress measurement. It was observed that the residual stresses in TiN films sputtered on substrates coated b...

This study investigates the resistance switching characteristics of Cr2O3-based resistance random access memory (RRAM) with Pt/Cr2O3/TiN and Pt/Cr2O3/Pt structures. Only devices with Pt/Cr2O3/TiN structure exhibit bipolar switching behavior after the forming process because TiN was able to work as an effective oxygen reservoir but Pt was not. Oxygen migration between Cr2O3 and TiN was observed ...

Wormhole-like mesoporous tin oxide was synthesized via a facile evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method, and the gas-sensing properties were evaluated for different target gases. The effect of calcination temperature on gas-sensing properties of mesoporous tin oxide was investigated. The results demonstrate that the mesoporous tin oxide sensor calcined at 400 °C exhibits remarkable sele...

Tillering (branching) is a major yield component and, therefore, a target for improving the yield of crops. However, tillering is regulated by complex interactions of endogenous and environmental signals, and the knowledge required to achieve optimal tiller number through genetic and agronomic means is still lacking. Regulatory mechanisms may be revealed through physiological and molecular char...

Although the roster of coulometric titrations no\\' includes many reactions of classical titrimetry'. the lIse of cl,ectrogeneratecl +2 tin as a coulometric titrant has not previously been reported. We have found that in an acidic bromide medium +4 tin (probably SrlBr6-2) is reduced to the' +2 state (probably SnBr4-2) with 100% current efficiency' at a gold cathode. The formal potential of the ...

As a rule, diseases of the kidney primarily affect the glomeruli, vasculature, or remainder of the renal parenchyma that consists of the tubules and interstitium. Although the interstitium and the tubules represent separate functional and structural compartments, they are intimately related. Injury initially involving either one of them inevitably results in damage to the other. Hence the term ...

BACKGROUND Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable to drug-induced kidney injury during their chemotherapy. Whereas the direct nephrotoxic effects of these drugs are well recognized, that of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is less well known, underdiagnosed and often reported only as a functional tubular disorder. The diagnosis of acute TIN is important because of its insidious onset wit...

A new SnO2/mesoporous silica composite was synthesized by a facile method, tin vapor reduction method , in which mesoporous silica SBA-15 was treated with tin vapor at temperature above 700 C under inert atmosphere. This material displays enhanced room-temperature photoluminescence (RT-PL) at increased treatment temperature. It is proved that RT-PL properties of this composite are closely relat...

Digital Terrain Modeling, the Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) is a representation of a surface derived from irregularly spaced sample points and break line features. Paper deals with the basic concept of Delauney’s triangulation method with its practical approach in ArcGIS. The next section describes the process to convert mass points to TIN model and explores some of the basics of TIN Mod...

Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is not commonly associated in aminosalicylate-naïve patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Our case describes the initial presentation, diagnosis, and management of an adolescent presenting with TIN and underlying CD. Our case emphasizes that CD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of interstitial nephritis as not only a medication-related effect, b...
