We report the creation of strained silicon on silicon (SSOS) substrate technology. The method uses a relaxed SiGe buffer as a template for inducing tensile strain in a Si layer, which is then bonded to another Si handle wafer. The…

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common hereditary neuromuscular disease. No curative treatment for DMD is known. Prednisone therapy is the first medical treatment that alters the course of DMD. Several studies about the doses and administrations of…

The bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), also called golden mussel, is native to Asia but becoming dispersed around the world. The golden mussel resembles the invasive dreissenid bivalves in many respects, and although much less studied it evidently has broader…

The etiology and epidemiology of Pythium root rot in hydroponically-grown crops are reviewed with emphasis on knowledge and concepts considered important for managing the disease in commercial greenhouses. Pythium root rot continually threatens the productivity of numerous kinds of crops…

Oligomeric mini-proteins, short peptides with protein-like features, constitute valuable minimal models for the study of oligomeric proteins. Oligomerization is a common feature of cellular proteins that may confer structural and functional advantages. Oligomerization is proposed to have arisen by several…

(cont.) visualize complex geometric arrangements. Finally, the tools developed represent an alternative to what learning technology has always done; transmit academic knowledge to the student. These tools are an example of how IT can be used to go beyond the…

ABSTRACT: Soil compactation is problem in modern agriculture. Over cultivation, intensive cropping and inappropriate soil management leads to soil compactation. There are important factors which directly affect plant growth, such as water, oxygen, temperature and mechanical resistance to seedling emergence…
