This study compares the sensitivity of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) used in Electrical CellSubstrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS). IDEs made of indium tin oxide (ITO) and ITO coated with iridium oxide (IrOx) were used for ECIS measurements with the human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. The results indicate that IrOx-modified ITO electrodes provide both biocompatibility and higher cell sensitivi...

Among nevoid causes of hypopigmentations; incontinentia pigmenti achromians (Hypomelanosis of Ito) is a neurocutaneous syndromes characterized by distinctive macular, linear or irregular whorls or swirls of Hypopigmentations. Unrelated to incontinentia pigmenti, the loss of pigment begins spon­taneously during infancy or early childhood and is of Particular importance because of the falt that m...

Information technology outsourcing (ITO) has been a topic of great interest, one that organization researchers have studied extensively. Previous studies have suggested that ITO research has expanded from one organization and bilateral partnerships to a network form of organization that links multiple organizations and spans inter-organizational boundaries. Yet, little research has been conduct...

This article reports the second stage of exploratory study regarding the adoption of information technology outsourcing (ITO) by Mexican companies. The article aims to answer the following questions: What are the managerial practices of ITO used by Mexican companies? And what is the impact of those practices on the results and benefits of ITO? Based on a survey of 152 companies, the study repor...

and Introduction: Ink-jet printing allows for cost efficient roll-to-roll manufacture of thin-film transistors (TFTs) over large areas, enabling next-generation transparent displays, touch panels, opto-electronics, and radio frequency identification [1-4]. TFT conductance and cutoff frequency scale inversely with gate length. However sub-micron gate lengths are incompatible with traditional pri...

Well-ordered 3D mesoporous indium tin oxide (ITO) films obtained by a templated sol-gel route are discussed as conductive porous current collectors. This paper explores the use of such films modified by electrochemical deposition of zinc oxide (ZnO) on the pore walls to improve the electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Mesoporous ITO film were dip-coated with pore sizes of 2...

In this paper, the Kalman-Bucy filter is designed for an Ito-Volterra process over Ito-Volterra observations that cannot be reduced to the case of a differential observation equation. The Kalman-Bucy filter is then designed for an Ito-Volterra process over discontinuous Ito-Volterra observations. Based on the obtained results, the filtering problem over discrete observations with delays is solv...
