Stochastic modulation evidences a transitory EGF-Ras-ERK MAPK activity induced by PRMT5
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway involves a three-step cascade of kinases that transduce signals and promote processes such as cell growth, development, and ...
Properties of nitrogen doped silicon films deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition from silane and ammonia
Nitrogen doped silicon (NIDOS) films have been deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition from silane SiH4 and ammonia NH3 at high temperature (750°C) and the influences of the NH3/SiH4 gas ratio on the films ...
Gas-sensing properties of sprayed films of (CdO)x(ZnO)1-x mixed oxide
A novel NO2 sensor based on (CdO)x(ZnO)1-x mixed-oxide thin films deposited by the spray pyrolysis technique is developed. The sensor response to 3-ppm NO2 is studied in the range 50°C-350°C for three different film ...
Towards the growth of Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 thin films by a single-stage process : effect of substrate temperatura and composition
Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 (CZTGS) thin films prepared by flash evaporation of a Zn-rich Cu2ZnSn0.5Ge0.5S4 bulk compound in powder form, and a subsequent thermal annealing in S containing Ar atmosphere are studied. The effect of the ...
Charge Transfer Characteristics of n-type In0.1Ga0.9N Photoanode across Semiconductor-Liquid Interface
Understanding the mechanisms of charge transfer across the semiconductor/liquid interface is crucial to realize efficient photoelectrochemical devices. Here, the interfacial charge transfer characteristics of n-type ...
Epitaxial growth of biferroic YMnO3(0001) on platinum electrodes
Epitaxial films of the biferroic YMnO3 (YMO) oxide have been grown on platinum-coated SrTiO3(1 1 1) and Al2O3(0 0 0 1) substrates. The platinum electrodes, (1 1 1) oriented, are templates for the epitaxy of the hexagonal ...
Roadmap search based motion planning for MIRADAS probe arms
MIRADAS is a near-infrared multiobject echelle spectrograph operating at spectral resolution R = 20,000 over the 1 to 2.5 μm bandpass for Gran Telescopio Canarias. It possesses a multiplexing system with 12 cryogenic ...
Bioelectronics for Amperometric Biosensors
The Discrete-to-Integrated Electronics group (D2In), at the University of Barcelona, in partnership with the Bioelectronics and Nanobioengineering Group (SICBIO), is researching Smart Self-Powered Bio-Electronic Systems. ...
Wireless monitoring of the pH, NH4+ and temperature in a fish farm
In this paper, we present a practical application for wireless sensor networks (WSN): The sensing of the pH, NH4+ and temperature for a fish farm. Two different kinds of modules were designed: Te sensor and the wireless ...
Measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries of B±→J/ψπ± and B±→ψ(2S)π± decays
A study of B ± → J / ψ π ± and B ± → ψ ( 2 S ) π ± decays is performed with data corresponding to 0.37 fb − 1 of proton-proton collisions at √ s = 7 TeV . Their branching fractions are found to be B ( B ± → J / ψ ...
Observation of the Decay Ξb-→p K-K-
Decays of the Ξb- and Ωb- baryons to the charmless final states p h-h'- , where h(') denotes a kaon or pion, are searched for with the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected ...
Visualized multiprobe electrical impedance measurements with STM tips using shear force feedback control
Here we devise a multiprobe electrical measurement system based on quartz tuning forks (QTFs) and metallic tips capable of having full 3D control over the position of the probes. The system is based on the use of bent ...
Shot noise anomalies in elastic nondegenerate diffusive conductors
We present a theoretical investigation of shot-noise properties in nondegenerate elastic diffusive conductors. Both Monte Carlo simulations and analytical approaches are used. Two interesting phenomena are found: (i) the ...
Electrical pump & probe and injected carrier losses quantification in Er doped Si slot waveguides
Electrically driven Er3+ doped Si slot waveguides emitting at 1530 nm are demonstrated. Two different Er3+ doped active layers were fabricated in the slot region: a pure SiO2 and a Si-rich oxide. Pulsed polarization driving ...
Structural factors impacting carrier transport and electroluminescence from Si nanocluster-sensitized Er ions.

BBB-on-a-chip with integrated micro-TEER for permeability evaluation of multi-functionalized gold nanorods against Alzheimers disease
The lack of predictive models that mimic the blood–brain barrier (BBB) hinders the development of effective drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. Animal models behave differently from humans, are expensive and have ethical ...
Precise Size Control of the Growth of Fe3O4 Nanocubes over a Wide Size Range Using a Rationally Designed One-Pot Synthesis
The physicochemical properties of spinel oxide magnetic nanoparticles depend critically on both their size and shape. In particular, spinel oxide nanocrystals with cubic morphology have shown superior properties in comparison ...
