ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from selection papers published in Journal Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity researchers (ECRs) working experimental biology during our centenary year, but also huge variety animals physiological systems that are essential for ‘comparative’ approach. Chloe Fouilloux an author on ‘ Visual environment ...

An alternative indium-free material for transparent conducting oxides of fluorine-doped tin oxide [FTO] thin films deposited on polyethylene terephthalate [PET] was prepared by electron cyclotron resonance - metal organic chemical vapor deposition [ECR-MOCVD]. One of the essential issues regarding metal oxide film deposition is the sheet resistance uniformity of the film. Variations in process ...

A laser produced Sn plasma driven with a pulsed CO2 laser and emitting EUV radiation has been generated in a magnetic field of 0.5T. The multiple-ionized plasma ions are efficiently guided along the B field lines of the double coil magnet. The neutral Sn atoms and Sn clusters, however, expand freely inside the vacuum chamber and contaminate e.g. EUV optics. We therefore evaluated ECR heating of...

Using analysis and simulation, we study the performance of Web-browsing and interactive data applications as perceived by the users of a shared packet access network. To characterise the user experience, we use end-to-end page delays and introduce a robust and useful measure called Equivalent Circuit Rate (ECR). The ECR for a user of a shared packet access network is the dedicated access circui...

The steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone coordinates the stages of Drosophila development by activating a nuclear receptor heterodimer consisting of the ecdysone receptor, EcR, and the Drosophila RXR receptor, USP. We show that EcR/USP DNA binding activity requires activation by a chaperone heterocomplex like that required for activation of the vertebrate steroid receptors, but not previously sho...

Radiotherapy with heavy ions is an upcoming cancer treatment method with to date unachieved precision. It associates higher control rates particularly for radiation resistant tumour species with reduced adverse effects compared to conventional photon therapy. This paper will provide an overview about the project, with special attention given to the two 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR...

This paper presents a model to measure the knowledge and sustainable competitive advantages generated by logistic operators, within the Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) framework. We present a definition of ECR practices, propose a model to measure the effects of these practices on final firm’s results and develop a validation of the methodology, meeting the demands of related companies and lo...

the gastrointestinal tract to evaluate because of its long length, complex looped configuration, and also because of its distant location. Only the proximal portion of the jejunum and the terminal ileum can be examined with the use of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy. Thus, other examination tools such as small bowel follow-through, enteroclysis, capsule endoscopy and double-bal...
