Abstract Electronic skin (E-skin) capable of detecting various physical stimuli is required for monitoring external environments accurately. Here, we report an all-soft multiaxial force sensor based on liquid metal microchannel array electronic applications. The proposed composed stretchable elastomer and Galinstan, a eutectic gallium-indium alloy, providing high mechanical flexibility electro-...

Cell confluence induces the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) in various cancer and epithelial cells, yet the biological implications and the associated regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Because confluent polarized epithelia demonstrate dome formation and sodium influx that mimic the onset of differentiation, we sought to elucidate the role of Stat3 in...

This paper will describe how a gate electrode formation process in a GaAs FET device was analyzed and optimized for increased CD control and product throughput. Optimizations included a new resist in the photolithography process, a new solvent and equipment type in the metal liftoff process, and a new dome structure in the metal deposition process. These process optimizations resulted in a gate...

BACKGROUND A frontoparietal dome of a large pachycephalosaurid collected from the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation in 2001 is identified as Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis. The specimen features two large oval depressions on the dorsal surface, accompanied by numerous circular pits on the margin and inner surface of the larger depressions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In order to ident...

The effect of exogenous gangliosides on the occurrence of domes in MDCK cell cultures was investigated in view of the involvement of both dome formation and gangliosides in cell growth, differentiation and transepithelial transport. Dome formation was increased by gangliosides in medium free of fetal calf serum. Among the gangliosides tested, GM3 and GD3 isolated from porcine kidney were most a...

We investigate the failed partial eruption of a filament system in NOAA AR 12104 on 2014 July 5, using multiwavelength EUV, magnetogram, and H$\alpha$ observations, as well magnetic field modeling. The consists two almost co-spatial segments with different end points, both resembling C shape. Following an ejection precursor flare related to flux cancellation, only upper segment rises then displ...

The article considers the artistic worldview in A. Varlamov's novel "The Dome" (1999). author of clarifies place this writer's works, balance confessional-autobiographical discourse with mythopoetic thinking characteristic writer himself and central character-the intellectual. representation province Moscow late Soviet "perestroika" time is analyzed as well heterogeneous university environment ...

Ultrafast high energy electron diffraction in reflection geometry is employed to study the structural dynamics of self-organized Germanium hut-, dome-, and relaxed clusters on Si(001) upon femtosecond laser excitation. Utilizing the difference in size and strain state the response of hut- and dome clusters can be distinguished by a transient spot profile analysis. Surface diffraction from {105}...

Planetariums and smaller personal domes can provide an immersive environment for science education, virtual reality, and entertainment [Shaw 1998]. Digital projection into domes, called “full dome projection” in the industry, can be a technically challenging and expensive exercise, particularly so for installations with modest budgets. An alternative full dome digital projection system is prese...

The optical reference plane of a J1002 shaped dome diffuser from CMS-Schreder was determined using direct normal spectral solar UV irradiance measurements relative to a flat Teflon diffuser. The spectroradiometers were calibrated relative to the same irradiance standard. The optical reference plane of the shaped J1002 diffuser is 5.3 mm behind the top of the dome with an uncertainty of 1.0 mm. ...
