A corona discharge-assisted technique for spreading of a gently deposited dielectric droplet into a uniform thin film over a dry isothermal conductive substrate is proposed. The surface charge was built up over the droplet interface through ion bombardment using a sharp emitter electrode. Interaction of the surface ch…

This paper investigates the origin and reduction of self-heating effects in single-crystal silicon-on-glass (SiOG) thin-film transistors (TFTs). A hump forms in the transfer characteristics of p-channel SiOG TFTs when the temperature of the devices is increased either by direct heating or electrical biasing. The size…

This paper describes an analysis of the damping of unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP) in salient pole synchronous machines due to parallel stator circuits. Measurements of the UMP and currents in the parallel circuits have been performed on a 12-pole generator with the stator displaced relative to the rotor, creating a st…

Abstract The surface quality of injection molded parts depends on the processing conditions, the cavity surface structure, the runner system, the used polymer and the part geometry. Different replication of the cavity surface structure to the molded part influences its surface function and visual appearance. A descrip…

Proopiomelanocortin is a precursor peptide that gives rise to several neuropeptides including adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin. POMC-derived peptides have been shown to be synthesized in human epidermis where they modulate numerous skin functions. Because we previously observed that melanocortin rec…

A nanoparticle detection scheme with single particle resolution is presented. The sensor contains only a taper fiber, thus offering the advantages of compactness and installation flexibility. The sensing method is based on monitoring the transmitted light power which shows abrupt jumps with each particle binding to th…

We consider the Nernst-Ettingshausen (NE) effect in the presence of semiclassically strong magnetic fields for a quasi-two-dimensional system with a parabolic or linear dispersion of carriers. We show that the occurring giant oscillations of the NE coefficient are coherent with the recent experimental observation in g…

Hydrogels are highly flexible network polymers being developed as scaffolds for tissue engineering and joint replacement. Their mechanical properties depend largely on their water content. To determine the associated mechanical and thermodynamic properties, we apply the new two-phase thermodynamics method (2PT) to sho…

Antireflective ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) by a scalable chemical method have been applied for InGaN-based multiple quantum well solar cells. The length of the NRAs plays an important role in photovoltaic characteristics. It was found that the 1.1-μm-long NRA results in enhanced conversion efficiency due to the suppress…

Carbon‐bonded carbon fiber (CBCF) composites are currently used for high‐temperature thermal insulation, but they can only be used under protective atmosphere or vacuum due to their limited oxidation resistance. High temperature stability may be improved by the addition of a protective coating of silicon carbide. The…
