Method Of Transferring Strained Semiconductor Structure, Michael Nastasi Dec 2009

Method Of Transferring Strained Semiconductor Structure, Michael Nastasi

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

The transfer of strained semiconductor layers from one substrate to another substrate involves depositing a multilayer structure on a substrate having surface contaminants. An interface that includes the contaminants if formed in between the deposited layer and the substrate. Hydrogen atoms are introduced into the structure and allowed to diffuse to the interface. Afterward, the deposited multilayer structure is bonded to a second substrate and is separated away at the interface, which results in transferring a multilayer structure from one substrate at least one strained semiconductor layer and at least one strain-induced seed layer. The strain-induced seed layer can be …


Rearrangement Of The Rna Polymerase Subunit H And The Lower Jaw In Archaeal Elongation Complexes, Sebastian Grünberg, Christoph Reich, Mirijam E. Zeller, Michael S. Bartlett, Michael Thomm Dec 2009

Rearrangement Of The Rna Polymerase Subunit H And The Lower Jaw In Archaeal Elongation Complexes, Sebastian Grünberg, Christoph Reich, Mirijam E. Zeller, Michael S. Bartlett, Michael Thomm

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

The lower jaws of archaeal RNA polymerase and eukaryotic RNA polymerase II include orthologous subunits H and Rpb5, respectively. The tertiary structure of H is very similar to the structure of the C-terminal domain of Rpb5, and both subunits are proximal to downstream DNA in pre-initiation complexes. Analyses of reconstituted euryarchaeal polymerase lacking subunit H revealed that H is important for open complex formation and initial transcription. Eukaryotic Rpb5 rescues activity of the ΔH enzyme indicating a strong conservation of function for this subunit from archaea to eukaryotes. Photochemical cross-linking in elongation complexes revealed a striking structural rearrangement of RNA …

Introduction To Ritual Theory Ritual Practice, Catherine M. Bell Dec 2009

Introduction To Ritual Theory Ritual Practice, Catherine M. Bell

Religious Studies

This book undertakes such an analysis in two ways: first, through a critical reading of how the notion of ritual has been used in the study of religion, society, and culture; and second, through an attempt to carve out an approach to ritual activities that is less encumbered by assumptions about thinking and acting and more disclosing of the strategies by which ritualized activities do what they do. I do not provide a comprehensive history of the term, a review of the most famous ethnographic examples, or a revised theory of ritual—useful though these projects might be. The purpose of …

Alive And Well, Mary B. Marcy Dec 2009

Alive And Well, Mary B. Marcy

Collected Faculty Scholarship

The liberal arts are higher education’s answer to Broadway, that "fabulous invalid" whose demise is predicted with both certainty and regularity. Claims that the liberal arts are in jeopardy have taken on increased urgency in the current economic climate. As students swell the ranks of community colleges, the presumption is that readily identifiable and employable skills rather than broad and deep learning are the primary focus of their educational ambitions.

But in the case of the liberal arts, conventional wisdom is at odds with what experience and current data suggest. For example, the benchmark freshmen surveys conducted each year by …

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Tarentula hispanica is a known drug in Homoeopathy but it has not been used extensively. Its use has been reported in homoeopathic literature for various clinical conditions like depression, headache, hiccough, quinsy, cystitis, vertigo, otorrhoea, pyrosis, constipation, seminal emission, neuralgia of legs, cough, dyspnoea and fever. Most of these symptoms have been reconfirmed in the study conducted by Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH). Besides these, in conditions like conjunctivitis, dyspepsia, flatulence, loose stool, pain in deltoid region, pain in shoulder joints and in pimple-like eruptions it is also found useful. A total of 2794 patients were studied in …

A Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial Of A Homoeopathic Medicine In The Treatment Of Trophic Ulcer And Neuropathy In Leprosy, D. Chakraborty, T. Chakraborty, S. Das, J. Sengupta

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Leprosy is a disease of global concern not only because of its potential to affect large number of people and its continued transmission but also because of the occurrence of deformities In a great proportion of patients. It is also a fact that multi-drug regimen has been effective in killing Mycobacterium leprae but it has no impact on associated disability due to nerve function Impairment and trophic ulcer in leprosy. To explore the other means of treatment to save the leprosy patient from disability, a randomised double blind clinical trial was undertaken. Methodology: 160 leprosy patients who were released …

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

The quote holds true because whenever we select a topic for research, in that particular area or subject, our knowledge is incomplete and problems are awaiting to be solved. We address the void in our knowledge and those unresolved problems by asking relevant questions and seeking answers to them. The role of research is to provide a method for obtaining those answers by studying the evidence within the parameters of the scientific method.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Survivals of sudden cardiac death (SCD) episodes have recurrence rate of 30-50% within two years, with malignant ventricular arrhythmias most often responsible1, 2. The overall survival rate for SCD in USA is 5%. Ninety-five percent of patients suffering their initial event fail to survive to become candidate for secondary prevention1.Because of the wide spread acceptance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator ( ICD ) as a method treating the survivals of SCD, attention has turned to primary prevention 1. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in primary and secondary prevention of SCD due to life threatening ventricular tachycardia (VT). OBJECTIVE: …

Structural Identification Using A Low-Cost Search Method, James W. Fonda, Steve Eugene Watkins Dec 2009

Structural Identification Using A Low-Cost Search Method, James W. Fonda, Steve Eugene Watkins

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

An easily implementable and trainable damage detection method is proposed and implemented for a simple truss structure. The approach uses the iterative search identification method and is compatible with low-cost and low-power microcontroller hardware. This method employs pattern matching for a data set from a strain sensor array and predicts location (truss member) and severity (member cross sectional area) of damage. As a health monitoring approach, the method is not as robust or rigorous as more complex methods. However, it has modest processing requirements and can handle noisy signals. The work presents an algorithm applied to a truss structure, the …
