In this paper, the performance of silicon carbide (SiC) light-triggered thyristor (LTT) with a p-type NiO emitter region is analyzed through numerical simulation. The conductivity modulation in SiC LTT significantly enhanced help high injection efficiency holes NiO/SiC heterojunction. injected hole density at surface p− long base increased by ∼21.2 times and corresponding specific on-state resi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The influence of sociobiological variables and aging on the variability of the Trail Making Tests (TMT), the Symbol Digit Substituting Test (SDT), and the Line Trait Test (LTT) in the general healthy populations are not well known. Even less is known about the reliability at re-testing. This study aimed at determining the reference range of these tests, taking into account s...

BACKGROUND DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) syndrome is characterized by fever, rash, eosinophilia, and multiorgan failure. Previous reports have described differences in clinical and laboratory findings of DRESS syndrome depending on the inducing drug. Piperacillin has been reported as the drug responsible for this syndrome in 3 patients. OBJECTIVE To analyze and...

The present paper summarizes the activities at LTT-Erlangen on the field of thermophysical properties research for pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures. For the characterization of their thermophysical properties dynamic light scattering (DLS) has been intensively applied as a key tool during the past two decades. Beside a representation of the essential features of DLS for the determinat...

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is driven by the activation and proliferation of allergen-specific memory T-lymphocytes and is currently diagnosed by patch testing with a selected panel of chemical allergens. The lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) can be used to monitor ex vivo T-lymphocyte responses to antigens, including contact allergens. The LTT is not viewed as being an alternative to ...

Therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy for advanced-stage urothelial carcinoma (UC) is limited by drug resistance. The nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) pathway is a major regulator of cytoprotective responses. We investigated its involvement in cisplatin resistance in long-term cisplatin treated UC cell lines (LTTs). Expression of NRF2 pathway components and targ...

The present study was aimed to investigate the application of right thansthoracic Ivor-Lewis (IL), left transthoracic (LTT), and left thoracoabdominal (LTA) approach in Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).The data of 196 patients with Siewert type II AEG received surgical resection in our cancer center between January 2014 and April 2016 was retrospectively analyzed...

Slow antiferromagnetic dynamics in the low temperature tetragonal phase of La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 as revealed by ESR of Gd spin probes Abstract Measuring the ESR of Gd spin probes we have studied the magnetic properties of the copper oxide planes in the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase of Eu doped La 2−x Sr x CuO 4. The data give evidence that at particular levels of Sr and Eu doping the frequ...
