One-way fluxes in the steady state and one-way influxes at zero intracellular concentrations were measured for alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells at 32 degrees C. The one-way fulxes show trans effects in the concentration of AIB and are dependent on sodium levels. The one-way fluxes for initial influx and for the steady state were fitted with the equations derived f...

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations for a linear triatomic molecule (CO(2)) interacting with a short IR (1.63 eV) three-cycle pulse reveal that the carrier-envelope shape and phase are the essential field parameters determining the bound state electron dynamics during and after the laser-molecule interaction. Analysis of the induced dipole oscillation reveals that the envelope shape (Gaussi...

A novel model for image segmentation is proposed, which is inspired by the carrier immigration mechanism in physical P-N junction. The carrier diffusing and drifting are simulated in the proposed model, which imitates the physical self-balancing mechanism in P-N junction. The effect of virtual carrier immigration in digital images is analyzed and studied by experiments on test images and real w...

We present a method for converting photoluminescence images into carrier lifetime images for siliconwafers with inhomogeneous lifetime distributions, such as multi-crystalline silicon wafers, based on a calibration factor extracted from a separate, homogeneous, mono-crystalline calibration wafer and simple optical modelling of the photoluminescence signal from both the calibrationwafer and the ...

ZnxCd1-xSe/C core/shell nanocrystals with 31-39 nm diameter semiconductor cores and 11-25 nm-thick carbon shells were synthesized from solid state precursors in large scale amounts. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed striations in the nanocrystals that are indicative of a composition modulation, and reveal a chemical phase separation and possible spinodal decomposition within the nan...

In 1972, Lieb, W. R. and Stein, W. D. (Biochim, Biophys. Acta 265, 187-207) in their review of sugar transport in human erythrocytes concluded that the conventional two-state carrier model was inconsistent with the experimental data available at that time. Since then, other papers have appeared which question the validity of the model. In this paper, we give a brief derivation of the equations ...

A novel approach to transmitting two vector signals using a single optical carrier based on IQ modulation and coherent detection is proposed and demonstrated. In the proposed system, two quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals are IQ modulated on an optical carrier with one polarization state using a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM). The optical carrier with an orthogonal pola...

in this study, feasibility of upgrading and retrofitting municipal wastewater treatment plantswas investigated at laboratory scale using moving bed biofilm reactor (mbbr) process. for this purpose,an aerobic pilot was operated for nearly one year in different conditions, in which a moving bed carrier with aspecific biofilm surface area of 500 m2/m3 and a filling rate of 60% was utilized. system...

Collective impact ionization has been used to explain lock-on in semi-insulating GaAs under high-voltage bias. We have used this theory to study some of the steady state properties oflock-on current filaments. In steady state, the heat gained from the field is exactly compensated by the cooling due to phonon scattering. In the simplest approximation, the carrier distribution approaches a quasi-...
