Abstract The quality of the semiconductor–barrier interface plays a pivotal role in demonstration high reproducible quantum dots for information processing. In this work, we have measured SiMOSFET Hall bars on undoped Si substrates order to investigate device quality. For devices fabricated full complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and very thin below thickness 10 nm, report r...

1 In multiple testing, weighted procedures are used for various reasons; for instance, (1) to increase power, (2) to incorporate previous knowledge about individual hypotheses, (3) to represent difference in importance (some hypotheses may be more important than others) or (4) to incorporate other measures of loss. The purpose of this question is to examine weighted procedures. Here, we assume ...

BACKGROUND Although the kinetics of CD4(+) cell counts have been extensively studied in antiretroviral-naive HIV-infected patients, data on individuals who have failed combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) are lacking. METHODS This analysis was based on the ICONA Foundation Study. Subjects with > or = 1 episode of viral suppression after starting first-line cART were included (n = 3537). ...

The roles of ANG II in the brain mechanisms subserving thirst and Na appetite in baboons were investigated by chronic intracerebroventricular infusions of ANG II and AT1-receptor antagonists using subcutaneous miniosmotic pumps and by oral administration of captopril. ANG II at 3 or 5 micrograms/h for 7 days increased water intake from 2,455 +/- 107 to 7,052 +/- 562 ml/day by day 6 and 300 mM N...
