Temperament traits and mental illness have been linked to varying degrees of imbalances in neurotransmitter systems of behavior regulation. If a temperament model has been carefully structured to reflect weak imbalances within systems of behavior regulation, then in the presence of mental illness, these profiles should exhibit distinct patterns consistent with symptoms of mental illness. In con...

UNLABELLED 2-Deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-d-glucose ([(18)F]FDG) has been extensively used as positron emission tomography (PET) tracer in clinical tumor imaging. This study compared the pharmacokinetics of two (18)F-labeled amino acid derivatives, O-2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl-l-tyrosine (l-[(18)F]FET) and 4-borono-2-[(18)F]fluoro-l-phenylalanine-fructose (l-[(18)F]FBPA-Fr), to that of [(18)F]FDG in an anim...

We analyze the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) heating by incident terahertz (THz) radiation in field-effect transistor (FET) structures with graphene channels (GCs) and black-phosphorus black-arsenic gate barrier layers (BLs). Such GC-FETs can operate as bolometric THz detectors using thermionic emission of hot electrons from GC via BL into gate. Due to excitation plasmonic oscillations si...

Transistor tapering is a widely used technique applied to optimize the geometries of CMOS transistors in high-performance circuit design with a view to minimizing the delay of a FET network. Currently, in a long FET network where MOS devices are stacked over one another to form a series chain network, the dimensions of the transistors are decreased from the bottom transistor to the top transist...

Current research efforts in biosensor design attempt to integrate biochemical assays with semiconductor substrates and microfluidic assemblies to realize fully integrated lab-on-chip devices. The DNA biotransistor (BioFET) is an example of such a device. The process of chemical modification of the FET and attachment of linker and probe molecules is a statistical process that can result in varia...
