CdTe thin films with 2.8 µm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the films. The results of AFM analysis revealed that the CdTe films have uniform surface. CdTe thin films were heat-treated by SnCl2 solution. Structural analysis using XRD s...

the removal performance of total poly phenols and orthodiphenols (o-diphenols) content in olive mill waste (omw) was investigated with a three stages cross flow laboratory scale rotating biological contactor (rbc) in the present study. due to high cod and other pollutant in the original omw, physico-chemical treatment was effected for cod and other pollutant reduction prior to biological treatm...

Numerous legislative proposals to cut reimbursement to surgeons and hospitals are presently included in U.S. congressional and senate agendas. Perioperative x-ray films in arthroplasty surgery are standard operating procedure. Our objective was to assess the effects of the radiologist reading on the clinical and economic outcome of arthroplasty procedures. One hundred consecutive cases were pro...

Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) are suitable for developing ultra-sensitive bioelectronic sensors. In the organic electrochemical transistors architecture, source-drain channel is made of a conductive polymer film either cast from formulated dispersion or electrodeposited monomer solution. The commercial poly(3,4-ethylenedioxidethiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) water wo...

The preparation of a YBa2Cu3O7−x/LaNiO3/YBa2Cu3O7−x sandwich structured film on a LaAlO3 (100) substrate by a sol-gel method was investigated. YBa2Cu3O7−x/LaNiO3/YBa2Cu3O7−x tri-layer heterostructures with different epitaxial characteristics can be deposited by controlling the heat treatment temperature. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results show that the bottom YBCO fi...

A novel and scalable method enabling the integration of dissimilar thin-film devices for high density large-area sensors is demonstrated. The validated by integrating CdS/CdTe P-N diodes with poly-Si transistors (TFTs) in an active pixel sensor (APS) scheme. These have been used separately low-cost applications such as liquid-crystal displays (Poly-TFTs) solar cells (CdS/CdTe) methods allow a s...

The authors attempted to obtain a quantitative index of X-ray opacity of the maxillary sinus using a digital disposition system. X-ray films of the Waters' view were used for analysis. A cooper wedge was placed on the left side of the subject's face and was simultaneously filmed. The wedge was made of copper plates increased in thickness from 0.2 to 4.0 mm in 20 steps and serving as a calibrati...

Micelles derived from poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) diblock copolymers (HO-PCLn-b-PEG32-RX, R = -O(CH2)3S(CH2)2-; X = -CO2(-), -SO3(-), -NH3(+)) show corona charge selective degradation catalyzed by P. cepacia lipase isoforms.

Stable oxygen sites on a PdO film over a Pd(100) thin structure with a [Formula: see text] surface unit cell are determined using the first-principles electronic structure calculations with the generalized gradient approximation. The adsorbed monatomic oxygen goes to a site bridging two twofold-coordinated Pd atoms or to a site bridging a twofold-coordinated Pd atom and a fourfold-coordinated P...

Bi La Ti O (BLT, xs0.67–0.70) ferroelectric thin films were prepared on a single crystalline aluminum oxide film onto 4yx x 3.0 12 Si substrate (c-Al O ySi), and amorphous phase aluminum oxide film onto Si substrates (a-Al O ySi) by the sol–gel method. In 2 3 2 3 order for crystallization, the as-coated films were annealed at the temperature of 650 and 700 8C for 30 min. The crystalline quality...
