    Notes: The interface between the inorganic semiconductor p-type InP and the conjugated polymer poly(pyrrole) exhibits the electrical characteristics of a Schottky diode. Capacitance–voltage measurements yield an average barrier height of 0.62 ± 0.01 eV at temperature T =298 K. At the same temperature, the empirical quality factor, extracted from current–voltage measurements, is near unity. However, the current–voltage measurements show a deviation from thermionic emission theory as the temperature is reduced, as witnessed by the increase of the quality factor and the curvature in the Richardson plot. Such deviation is best explained by the barrier inhomogeneity model, in which the barrier becomes voltage dependent due to the interaction of a small low-barrier region with a higher surrounding potential, termed the "pinch-off" effect. Traditional current–voltage models, including image force lowering or an interfacial layer, cannot predict the temperature dependence of the current–voltage data, although thermionic field emission may facilitate current transport in the interfaces with a higher doped InP substrate. Furthermore, the probability of sufficiently energetic incident charge carriers crossing the interface, termed the transmission coefficient, is smaller than that observed in metal Schottky diodes.© 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In response to interest by dental students and patient needs, an elective program in implant dentistry was started at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry (UDM) in the summer of 1994. The 1-year program is offered to a group of 10 senior students out of a class of 72. Implant treatment is provided to selected edentulous and partially edentulous patients. Predoctoral students participate in diagnosis and treatment planning, assist in surgical placement, and perform the prosthodontic procedures. A survey was sent to 160 UDM graduates, and 90 responded. Out of the 90 respondents, 35% had participated in the elective implant program and 65% had not. A Pearson correlation matrix was used to analyze their responses. A stronger positive correlation with offering and restoring implants was seen in graduates who had completed the elective program in implant dentistry.

    Locally Advanced Breast Cancer: Is Surgery Necessary? (2001)

    Notes: Abstract: A retrospective analysis of the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) was undertaken at Stanford Medical Center to assess the outcome of patients who did not undergo surgical removal of their tumors. Between 1981 and 1998, 64 patients with locally advanced breast cancer were treated with induction chemotherapy, radiation with or without breast surgery, and additional chemotherapy. Sixty-two (97%) patients received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (CAF) induction chemotherapy. Induction chemotherapy was followed by local radiotherapy in 59 (92%) patients. Based on the clinical response to chemotherapy and patient preference, 44 (69%) patients received no local breast surgery. Radiotherapy was followed by an additional, non-doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy in all patients. The mean age of patients was 49 years. Of the 65 locally advanced breast cancers in 64 patients, 26 (41%) were stage IIIA, 35 (55%) were stage IIIB, and 4 (6%) were stage IV (supraclavicular lymph nodes only). Response to induction chemotherapy was seen in 59 patients (92%), with 29 (45%) achieving a complete clinical response and 30 (47%) a partial clinical response. With a mean follow-up of 51 months (range 7–187 months), 43 patients (67.2%) have no evidence of recurrent disease. Eight (12.5%) have recurred locally, and 21 (32.8%) have recurred with distant metastasis. Actuarial 5-year survival is 75%, disease-free survival is 58%, and local control rate is 87.5%. These data indicate that the routine inclusion of breast surgery in a combined modality treatment program for LABC does not appear necessary for the majority of patients who experience a response to induction chemotherapy.

    HIGH PERFORMANCE TURNING CAPABILITIES DURING FORAGING BY BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS) (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Large predators should have difficulty catching small prey because small animals demonstrate greater maneuverability and agility compared to large animals. The ability of a predator to capture small prey indicates locomotor strategies to compensate for inequities in maneuverability. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida feed on fish at least one order of magnitude smaller than themselves. To examine the locomotor strategies involved in prey capture, the foraging movements of these dolphins were videotaped from overhead using a remotely-controlled camera suspended from a helium-filled aerostat, which was tethered to an observation vessel. Dolphins were observed to rapidly maneuver during chases of fish in open water or around patches of rooted vegetation. Video analysis of the chase sequences indicated that the dolphins could move the rostrum through small radius turns with a mean value of 0.20 body lengths and with a minimum value of 0.08 body lengths. Mean rate of turn was 561.6°/sec with a maximum rate measured at 1,372.0°/sec. High turning rates with small turning radii were primarily the result of maneuvers in which the dolphin rolled 90° and rapidly flexed its body ventrally. The ability of dolphins to change body orientation in multiple rotational axes provides a mechanism to reduce turning radius and increase turning rate to catch small, elusive prey.

    Calculation of transmission coefficients at nonideal semiconductor interfaces characterized by a spatial distribution of barrier heights (2001)
    College Park, Md. : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    The Journal of Chemical Physics 115 (2001), S. 433-445

    Notes: The use of temperature-dependent current–voltage and capacitance–voltage measurements in the determination of transmission coefficients, which can be related to various other heterogeneous charge-transfer rate constants, is analyzed for semiconductor interfaces characterized by a spatial distribution of barrier heights. The level of error introduced by the unknowing neglect of heterogeneity is analyzed using a discrete parallel network of regions with potentially voltage and temperature dependent effective areas and potential barriers. In general, the unknowing neglect of heterogeneity results in an overestimation of the transmission coefficient calculated from barrier heights based on capacitance–voltage measurements and an underestimation when based on barrier heights from temperature dependent current–voltage measurements (Richardson plots). Of particular focus is the calculation of transmission coefficients at semiconductor interfaces that exhibit anomalous behavior, most notably ideality or quality factors greater than unity, due to small-scale, "pinched-off," barrier inhomogeneities characterized by voltage-dependent effective barriers. In general, the meanings of various empirical treatments of current–voltage data in light of a voltage-dependent barrier height distribution are clarified with a particular focus on the extraction of equilibrium exchange current densities and the meaning of Richardson plots. To be specific, the model of Tung for pinched-off barrier inhomogeneities is used to demonstrate that multiple orders-of-magnitude errors in the calculation of transmission coefficients are possible with systems exhibiting only mildly anomalous behavior (ideality factors less than 1.3) if heterogeneity is neglected. The conditions of applied bias, dopant density, and temperature where the error is minimized are discussed along with the criteria for the rigorous extraction of transmission coefficients. The greatest confidence in the transmission coefficients occurs when the ideality factor is unity and the capacitance–voltage barrier agrees with the Richardson plot barrier. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Despite its widespread acceptance, little practical application of the Hayes and Wheelwright four-stage model is reported in the literature. This paper formulates a questionnaire to classify manufacturing companies under the Hayes and Wheelwright four-stage model and assesses the reliability of the instrument. In an application of the questionnaire to three small manufacturing companies, the paper finds that half of the questions asked are statistically reliable according to the Interclass Correlation method. An in-depth cross-case study of the three organisations reveals patterns of management which further support the statistically reliable questions. The overall conclusion is that further research on questionnaires as instruments for exploring the four-stage concept is necessary before a reliable method is available.

    Notes: This study examines registered nurse perceptions of their role in acute care hospitals that use nursing care assistants (NCA) and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Also studied was registered nurse (RN) satisfaction with nursing care assistants and unlicensed assistive personnel in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA). The purpose of this study is to assist RNs and managers in the re-design of health-care delivery systems by investigating: 1. The differences and similarities of registered nurses in the UK and the USA in the perceptions of changes in the RN role when working with nursing care assistants or unlicensed assistive personnel. 2. The differences between and similarities of registered nurses in the UK and the USA in perceptions of NCA and UAP abilities to perform delegated duties, to communicate pertinent clinical information and to provide more time for professional nursing activities.Registered nurse perceptions in the UK were compared with the findings of a previous study of RN role changes and satisfaction in the USA. Registered nurses in the UK did not perceive a profound change in their role when working with UAP and were more satisfied with their use than were RNs in the USA.
