    Notes: Performing an event-based continuous kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation, Weinvestigate the growth conditions which are important to form semiconductor quantum dot (QD) inmolecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The simulation results provide a detailed characterization ofthe atomic kinetic effects. The KMC simulation is also used to explore the effects of periodic strain tothe epitaxy growth of QD. The simulation results are in well qualitative agreement with experiments

    Notes: Nb3Sn superconductors are widely used in high magnetic field application. Internal tinprocessed Nb3Sn wires used for ITER coils (at 4.2K, 12T) were heated by two steps, local heattreatment and reaction heat treatments. The superconducting properties of Nb3Sn were investigated asa function of reaction heat treatment (HT) for strands during 625℃~665℃.To study the heattreatment effects on Jcn and n-value of Nb3Sn strands, different HT-parameters, i.e., annealingtemperature and times, were applied on the Nb3Sn multifilament strands

    Notes: The thermal stabilities and mechanical interfacial properties of a diglycidyl ether ofbisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin modified with different contents of polyethersulfone (PES) have been investigated. As a result, the curing reaction rate of DGEBA/PES blends was decreased with increasing the PES content. The blends exhibited slight decrease of thermal stabilities compared to the neat DGEBA. The mechanical interfacial properties, characterized by KIC, were significantlyincreased as the PES content increased

    Notes: Purpose - The quality of crystals grown in space can be diversely affected by the melt flows induced by g-jitter associated with a space vehicle. This paper presents a full three-dimensional (3D) transient finite element analysis of the complex fluid flow and heat and mass transfer phenomena in a simplified Bridgman crystal growth configuration under the influence of g-jitter perturbations and magnetic fields. Design/methodology/approach - The model development is based on the Galerkin finite element solution of the magnetohydrodynamic governing equations describing the thermal convection and heat and mass transfer in the melt. A physics-based re-numbering algorithm is used to make the formidable 3D simulations computationally feasible. Simulations are made using steady microgravity, synthetic and real g-jitter data taken during a space flight. Findings - Numerical results show that g-jitter drives a complex, 3D, time dependent thermal convection and that velocity spikes in response to real g-jitter disturbances in space flights, resulting in irregular solute concentration distributions. An applied magnetic field provides an effective means to suppress the deleterious convection effects caused by g-jitter. Based on the simulations with applied magnetic fields of various strengths and orientations, the magnetic field aligned with the thermal gradient provides an optimal damping effect, and the stronger magnetic field is more effective in suppressing the g-jitter induced convection. While the convective flows and solute transport are complex and truly 3D, those in the symmetry plane parallel to the direction of g-jitter are essentially two-dimensional (2D), which may be approximated well by the widely used 2D models. Originality/value - The physics-based re-numbering algorithm has made possible the large scale finite element computations for 3D g-jitter flows in a magnetic field. The results indicate that an applied magnetic field can be effective in suppressing the g-jitter driven flows and thus enhance the quality of crystals grown in space.

    Notes: We report the characterization of a cDNA encoding a novel -RFamide neuropeptide precursor that is up-regulated during parasitation in the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Processing of this precursor yields five structurally related neuropeptides, all but one ending with the C-terminal sequence -LFRFamide, as was confirmed by direct mass spectrometry of brain tissue. The LFRFamide gene is expressed in a small cluster of neurons in each buccal ganglion, three small clusters in each cerebral ganglion, and one cluster in each lateral lobe of the cerebral ganglia. Application of two of the LFRFamide peptides to neuroendocrine cells that control either growth and metabolism or reproduction induced similar hyperpolarizing K+-currents, and inhibited electrical activity. We conclude that up-regulation of inhibitory LFRFamide neuropeptides during parasitation probably reflects an evolutionary adaptation that allows endoparasites to suppress host metabolism and reproduction in order to fully exploit host energy recourses.

    Notes: There are many reports of patients with a severe hydroa vacciniforme (HV)-like eruption. The cutaneous lesions occur both in sun-exposed and nonexposed areas in these patients unlike a true HV. In most cases, a latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been detected in the skin lesions of these patients. We performed the photo-provocation test in five patients with an EBV associated HV-like eruption. The photoprovocation tests were caried out using the UVA delivered by a SUPUVASUN 3000 light source. A 5x 5 sqaure cm area on the buttock was irradiated three or four times at 24 hour intervals. A skin biopsy was obtained from the lesional skin and photo-provoked lesion in all five patients. H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed. In situ hybridization was also performed to detect mRNA for EBV in the skin biopsy specimens. Skin lesions were induced by repetitive UVA exposure in all five patients. The severity of the phtoprovoked lesion showed correlation with that of the clinical features. The immunohistologic findings of photo-provoked skin lesions were similar to those of original skin lesions. A latent EBV infection was also demonstrated in the photo-provoked lesion.

    Notes: Because of the control complexity of the Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKMs), suchmechanisms may suffer from lack of accuracy at high speed. Unfortunately, conventional motioncontrollers have very limited flexibility because they are designed for Cartesian coordinates.Therefore, the motion control system for PKMs with both high performance and open architectureis urgently demanded. In this paper, an open architecture control system for PKMs based onmulti-DSP parallel procession is presented. Then, the hierarchical distributed control strategy isdiscussed in details. In addition, the realization of an interactive communication interface amongDSP processors is presented. According to the testing results, the developed system is capable ofobtaining an interpolation sampling period at least 3 times faster than that could be offered by mostcontrollers based on single-DSP, thus it is available for high-speed and high-accuracy control ofPKMs
