patients and methods: all samples sent to the lab were routinely processed according to standard microbiological procedures and the cultures yielding growth of cons were selected for the study. all samples containing cons collected over a 2 year-period, were included irrespective of patients' age and gender. the antibiogram of the organisms was recorded according to clsi guidelines and the rati...

In the quest to push contemporary scientific boundaries in nanoelectronics, Ge is considered a key building block extending device performances, delivering enhanced functionalities. this work, quasi-1D monocrystalline and monolithic Al–Ge–Al nanowire heterostructure are embedded into novel field-effect transistor architecture capable of combining based electronics with an electrostatically tuna...

The memristor is considered to be a promising candidate for next-generation computing systems due its nonvolatility, high density, low power, nanoscale geometry, nonlinearity, binary/multiple memory capacity, and negative differential resistance [...]
