Mobile Instant Messaging (MIM) allows users to exchange multimedia information, such as texts, images, and videos with family and friends. MIM applications are typically free-ofcharge and intended for casual, playful communications, allowing users to engage in one-onone or group interactions. Based on Wegner's Transactive Memory Systems (TMS), the study focuses on how MIM can be used to enhance...

Neural tube closure is a critical morphogenetic event that is regulated by dynamic changes in cell shape and behavior. Although previous studies have uncovered a central role for the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway in neural tube closure, the underlying mechanism remains poorly resolved. Here, we show that the missing in metastasis (MIM; Mtss1) protein, previously identified as a Hedgehog r...

In this paper we consider the approximability of the maximum induced matching problem (MIM). We give an approximation algorithm with asymptotic performance ratio d − 1 for MIM in d-regular graphs, for each d ≥ 3. We also prove that MIM is APXcomplete in d-regular graphs, for each d ≥ 3.

MIM capacitors are considered equally important devices for the assessment of dielectric charging in RF MEMS capacitive switches. Beside the obvious similarities between the down state condition of RF MEMS and MIM capacitors there are also some important differences. The paper aims to introduce a novel approach to the study of dielectric charging in MEMS with the aid of MIM capacitors by combin...

Voltage nonlinearity is a crucial performance parameter of MIM capacitors for RF, analog and mixed signal IC applications. In present work, the fabrication and characterization of anodic high-k MIM capacitors are reported in detail and modeling of nonlinearity coefficient of capacitance is developed using polarization of induced dipoles. The model agrees with experimental results for various hi...

The trace water-soluble radiolytic products of neat 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C(4)mim][NTf(2)]) were identified by analysing water-washed samples of γ-ray irradiated ionic liquids. CF(3)SO(2)OH, CF(3)SOOH, CF(3)SO(2)NH(2), HF and H(2)SO(3) were confirmed as main radiolytic products of [C(4)mim][NTf(2)], and the total radiation chemical yields of the water-s...

[1] This study proposed a new mobile‐immobile model (MIM) to describe reactive solute transport with scale‐dependent dispersion in heterogeneous porous media. The model was derived from the conventional MIM but assumed the dispersivity to be a linear or exponential function of travel distance. The linear adsorption and the first‐order degradation of solute were also considered in the model. The...

Three room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), viz. C(4)mim(+)·PF(6)(-), C(6)mim(+)·PF(6)(-) and C(8)mim(+)·PF(6)(-), were evaluated as diluents for the extraction of Am(III) by N,N,N',N'-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA). At 3 M HNO(3), the D(Am)-values by 0.01 M TODGA were found to be 102, 34 and 74 for C(4)mim(+)·PF(6)(-), C(6)mim(+)·PF(6)(-) and C(8)mim(+)·PF(6)(-), respectively. The extracti...
