MnMX (M = Co or Ni, X Si Ge) alloys, experiencing structural transformation between Ni2In-type hexagonal and TiNiSi-type orthorhombic phases, attract considerable attention due to their potential applications as room-temperature solid refrigerants. Although lots of studies have been carried out on how tune this obtain large entropy change in a wide temperature region, the crystallography marten...

I will talk about core issues in quality control such as how we define quality in the case of language resources, how much variation there is in the definition and what this means for implementing quality control procedures. I think this is important because I have seen many publications that seem to take the approach that quality is single dimension and that our primary task is to move ourselv...

Background: T-cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities, acting at microvascular level [1]. Since small artery remodeling is earliest form target organ damage hypertension, evaluation alterations might provide clinically useful information. The retinal arterioles non-invasive technique to identify precocious damage, whic...

Fusarium avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc. is an important phytopathogen. Fight against F. includes primarily fungicide usage. However, novel strategies are needed in a struggle with avenaceum. In this study, terpinolene was used as antimicrobial agent, and the harmlessness of tested on two contrast barley genotypes, Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Cervoise H. Premium. Firstly, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC...

Fast reliability testing is a key point for IlI-V technologies. This is particularly true when modifications have to be implemented on the production line. Such modifications can be soned in four categories: raw material, new equipment, prncess slep and design rule modifications. Endurance tests have to be performed to ensure that through the modified steps the reliability of the technology has...

If the control rate (CR) in a clinical trial represents the incidence or the baseline severity of illness in the study population, the size of treatment effects may tend to very with the size of control rates. To investigate this hypothesis, we examined 115 meta-analyses covering a wide range of medical applications for evidence of a linear relationship between the CR and three treatment effect...

Coastal regions are one of the most vulnerable areas to effects global warming, which is accompanied by an increase in mean sea level and changing shoreline configurations. In Indonesia, socioeconomic importance coastal where populated cities located high. However, changes Indonesia relatively understudied. particular, detailed monitoring with remote sensing data lacking despite abundance datas...

Poly resistors around the device can be used to perform fast in situ heating on a single device on wafer level. This is a commonly used technique to apply time-saving NBTI stress in the production line [Muth W, Walter W. Bias temperature instability assessment of nand p-channel MOS transistors using a polysilicon resistive heated scribe lane test structure. Microelectron Reliab 2004;44(8):1251–...
