We have observed very large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in epitaxially grown Ga1−xMnxAs/AlAs/Ga1−xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor tunnel junctions. Large TMR ratios more than 70% were obtained in junctions with a very thin (5 1.6 nm) AlAs tunnel barrier when the magnetic field was applied along the [100] axis in the film plane. The TMR was found to rapidly decrease with increasing the b...

Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium technique, we study current and the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) in a quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic leads (FM-dot-FM). The current is calculated for both parallel and antiparallel lead alignments. Coulomb interaction and spin-flip scattering are taken into account within the quantum dot. Interestingly, we find that these interactions play a cont...

BACKGROUND Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) has been increasingly used during the recent past for patients with diffuse coronary artery disease. Because this operation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, it is important to select patients for TMR who are likely to benefit from the procedure. METHODS We performed an univariate logistic regression analysis of 20...

Objective To compare and contrast our experience with middle cranial fossa approach (MFR) and transmastoid approach with capping of the dehiscence (TMR) of superior semicircular canal dehiscence and to determine guidelines to help guide management of these patients. Methods All patients from 2005 to 2014 with symptomatic superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome with dehiscence demonstr...

There are many methods on how to improve reliability of the system. One of the common methods is a concept of redundancy. Redundancy is simply the addition of information beyond what is needed for standard system operation. This information can be a physical value or electric signal, hardware element or subsystem, an application or software module. The concept of redundancy is based on Murphy’s...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of medicinal plant by-products (MPB) supplementation to a total mixed ration (TMR) on growth, carcass characteristics and economic efficacy in the late fattening period of Hanwoo steers. Twenty seven steers (body weight [BW], 573±57 kg) were assigned to 3 treatment groups so that each treatment based on BW contained 9 animals. All groups received ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) content in total mixed ration (TMR) on dry matter intake, digestibility, and chewing activity in fattening Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) heifers. The experiment was designed as a replicated 3×3 Latin square using 12 heifers. Fattening heifers were offered one of three diets [high (T1)...

PURPOSE To develop an imaging technology for protease activities in patients that could help in prognosis prediction and in design of personalized, protease-based inhibitors and prodrugs for targeted therapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was covalently attached to the N-terminus of a hydrophilic peptide substrate (GPLGVR) for matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) to increase hydroph...

Upon Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of a host plant, Tumor morphology root (Tmr) a bacterial adenosine phosphateisopentenyltransferase (IPT), creates a metabolic bypass in the plastid for direct synthesis of trans-zeatin (tZ) with 1-hydroxy2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate as the prenyl donor. To understand the biological importance of Tmr function for gall formation, we compared Tmr an...
