Top-gated epitaxial graphene nanoribbon (EGNR) field effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated on epitaxial graphene substrates which demonstrated the opening of a substantial bandgap. Hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) was used for the patterning of 10 nm size linewidth as well as a seed layer for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a high-k dielectric aluminum oxide (Al2O3). It is found that the reso...

Sense of humor is potentially relevant to social functioning in dementias, but has been little studied in these diseases. We designed a semi-structured informant questionnaire to assess humor behavior and preferences in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD; n = 15), semantic dementia (SD; n = 7), progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA; n = 10), and Alzheimer's disease (A...
