Based on last years field emission (FE) results achieved with randomly distributed free-standing gold nanowires (NW) [1], cathodes with regular arrays of Au-NW patches (50 μm diameter) were fabricated by means of a shadow mask during heavy ion irradiation of polycarbonate foils [2-3]. The number density, diameter Ø, and length L of the NW were controlled by the ion fluence f, foil etching time,...

The growth of semiconductor (SC) nanowires (NW) by CVD using Au-catalyzed VLS process has been widely studied over the past few years. Among others SC, it is possible to grow pure Si or SiGe NW thanks to these techniques. Nevertheless, Au could deteriorate the electric properties of SC and the use of other metal catalysts will be mandatory if NW are to be designed for innovating electronic. Fir...

BACKGROUND There are few prospective data on the prognosis of insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant normal-weight (NW) or obese individuals. OBJECTIVES The estimated liver fat content, incidences of hyperglycemia and cardiovascular disease, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates were investigated in a population-based cohort of 1658 individuals who were categorized according to BM...

Semiconductor nanowires have been explored as alternative electronic materials for high performance device applications exhibiting low power consumption specs. Electrical transport in III-V nanowire (NW) field-effect transistors (FETs) is frequently governed by Schottky barriers between the source/drain and the NW channel. Consequently the device performance is greatly impacted by the contacts....

To examine the effect of prior exercise on the postprandial lipid response to a high-carbohydrate meal in normal-weight (NW=BMI <25) and overweight (OW=BMI >or= 25) women (age 18-25), 10 NW and 10 OW participants completed 2 conditions separated by 1 month. In the morning, the day after control (CT=no exercise) or exercise conditions (EX=60 min cycling at 60% VO(2peak)), participants consumed a...

High plantar pressure has been associated with increased risk of injury. The characteristics of each physical activity determine the load on the lower limbs. The influence of Nordic Walking (NW) technique on plantar pressure is still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the differences between plantar pressure during NW with the Diagonal technique (DT) versus Alpha technique (AT) and c...

Three-dimensional (3D) nanowire (NW) networks are promising for designing high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) electrodes owing to their long optical path for efficient light absorption, high-quality one-dimensional conducting channels for rapid electron-hole separation and charge transportation, as well as high surface areas for fast interfacial charge transfer and electrochemical react...
