Abstract Fabricating flexible electronics on plastic is often limited by the poor dimensional stability of polymer substrates. To mitigate, glass carriers are used during fabrication, but removing substrate from a carrier without damaging remains challenging. Here we utilize large-area, high-throughput photonic lift-off (PLO) process to rapidly separate films rigid carriers. PLO uses 150 µs pul...

Abstract In the pharmaceutical industry, microbiological quality of water is vital. This research investigated how combining peracetic acid (0.1% V/V) and UV light (>150 mJ/cm2) as wide-spectrum disinfectants affect microbial endotoxin levels in a system. Water samples were taken aseptically from 12 points across The pour plate technique membrane filtration used for counts. presence dist...

The aim of the present study was to compare the ability of the commercially available portable test system (PTS(TM)) to detect endotoxin activity in bovine serum, with that of the traditional LAL-kinetic turbidimetric (KT) and chromogenic (KC) assays. Prior to testing, serum samples, which were obtained from endotoxin-challenged cattle, were diluted 1:20 in endotoxin-free water and heated to 80...

Various investigators such as Khan 1974 , Chandra 2002 , and Liendler 2005 have determined the degree of approximation of 2π-periodic signals functions belonging to Lip α, r class of functions through trigonometric Fourier approximation using different summability matrices with monotone rows. Recently, Mittal et al. 2007 and 2011 have obtained the degree of approximation of signals belonging to...

As service orientation is gaining more and more momentum, the need for common concepts regarding Quality of Service (QoS) and its specification emerges. In recent years numerous approaches to specifying QoS were developed for special subjects like multimedia applications or middleware for distributed systems. However, a survey of existing approaches regarding their contribution to service orien...

Within the past few years there has been renewed interest in the study of value-passing process calculi as a consequence of the emergence of the π-calculus. Here, [MPW89] have determined two variants of the notion of bisimulation, late and early bisimilarity. Most recently [San93] has proposed the new notion of open bisimulation equivalence. In this paper we consider Plain LAL, a mobile process...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS We recently identified lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency, a recessive disease caused by mutations in LIPA, in 3 patients with a clinical diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). We aimed to determine the prevalence of LIPA mutations among individuals with a clinical FH diagnosis. METHODS In 276 patients with phenotypic FH, in whom no genetic basis for their ph...

The reaction of bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-imine (LH, 1) with Me3N·AlH3 furnishes {μ-LAlH2}2 (2). The marked tendency of 2 to release its hydride substituents is ascribed to the strong electron-donor character of the imidazolin-2-iminato ligand. This is supported by its reactivity study and DFT calculations. In fact, compound 2 was further converted with Me3SiOTf, Me2S·BH3, Me2S·BBr...

Wavelengthand flux calibrations are presented for the ACS/SBC PR110L and PR130L slitless spectroscopy modes. The calibrations were derived from Cycle 13 observations of two QSOs at redshift z=0.098 and z=0.168 (for the wavelength calibration) and two white dwarf standards (for the flux calibration), and are made available to users as configuration files for the aXe software package. Both the tr...
