cu-mo and cu-ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. the effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temperat...

The potential role of omega – 3 (ω-3) and omega - 6(ω-6) fatty acids on wound healing is of interest and controversial. In the present study, the effect of dietary intake of fish oil (ω-3 diet ) and corn oil (ω-6 diet) on skin wound healing has been investigated in rat. This experimental study was performed on four groups of male rats (one normal group and three diabetic groups). Diabetes was i...

We study cellular automata on regular rooted trees. This includes the characterization of sofic tree shifts in terms of unrestricted Rabin automata and the decidability of the surjectivity problem for cellular automata between sofic tree shifts.

We prove the endpoint case of a conjecture of Khot and Moshkovitz related to the Unique Games Conjecture, less a small error. Let n ≥ 2. Suppose a subset Ω of n-dimensional Euclidean space R satisfies −Ω = Ω and Ω + v = Ω for any standard basis vector v ∈ R. For any x = (x1, . . . , xn) ∈ R and for any q ≥ 1, let ‖x‖q = |x1| + · · · + |xn| and let γn(x) = (2π)−n/2e−‖x‖ 2 2/2 . For any x ∈ ∂Ω, l...

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of vacuum packing (VP) on the fatty acids profiles in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during an extended frozen storage period. Cobia fillets were treated under vacuum system then stored at -18°C for up to 6 months and compared to control conditions. As a result of a frozen storage period of 6 months, a marked content decrease was found in the...

PURPOSE Evidence suggests that inflammation may drive fatigue in cancer survivors. Research in healthy populations has shown reduced inflammation with higher dietary intake of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which could potentially reduce fatigue. This study investigated fatigue, inflammation, and intake of ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs among breast cancer survivors. METHODS Six hundred thirty-t...

The binding energy of the six quark system with strangeness s=-3 is investigated under the chiral SU(3) constituent quark model in the framework of RGM. The calculations of the single NΩ channel with spin S=2 and the single ∆Ω channel with spin S=3 are performed. The results show that both systems could be dibaryons and the interaction induced by the chiral field plays a very important role on ...
