Control of seed layer for a low temperature formation of polycrystalline silicon with high crystallinity and a smooth surface

We have successfully improved the surface roughness and crystalline fraction of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films formed on quartz substrates at 300 ℃ by controlling its initial growth. Seed layers were formed by eliminating charged species incident on the substrate during the initial growth in electron cyclotron resonance silane and hydrogen plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and poly-Si films were subsequently formed on the seed layers with charged species. As a result, control of ion bombardment on the initial growth was found to be a key factor for forming poly-Si films with smooth surfaces and high crystallinity at low temperatures.journal articl

Japanese University Students' Images of the Four Seasons

When we see, hear, and think about “color" and “shape," etc., we evoke our experience and the event, etc. which is related to them. This is the action that is called the “association of ideas," that is, “association." In this study, the author investigated Japanese university students' associated images of the four seasons in Japanese and English. The questionnaire survey was done and the answers were analyzed using the text mining software. As a result, it was cleared that they evoke more images of the four seasons in Japanese than in English, the images in the katakana mark are more evoked in the case of English, and more positive images tend to be evoked for English expressions.departmental bulletin pape

Application of standardization for the design and construction of carbon nanotube-based product pilot lines in compliance with EU regulation on machinery

The "PLATFORM" manufacturing ecosystem for pilot production of pre-commercial CNT-based nano-enabled products, consists of three pilot lines (PPLs) for the manufacture of buckypapers, doped prepregs and doped veils. The PPLs have been constructed with the ultimate goal to commercialize these products in the European market in 2020/2022.This goal requires having the PPLs in compliance with the applicable product safety regulation by that date (CE marking). The main EU regulation for new machinery (as the PPLs) is the Directive 2006/42/EC on Machinery (MD). This Directive sets out the general mandatory Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) related to the design and construction of machinery, while particular technical specifications for fulfilling them are provided in European harmonized standards. Application of harmonized standards is voluntary but confers a presumption of conformity with the EHSRs they cover. The PPLs are unique machines for own use and must comply with the MD before they are put into service, in 2020/2022. But the MD does not provide specific EHSRs for nanosafety and no harmonized standards are available in this field for the safe design of the PPLs. In this context, this paper shows the standardization strategy followed by the project PLATFORM (GA 646307) to design the PPLs in compliance with the EHSR referred to the risks to health resulting from hazardous substances emitted by machinery (MD, Annex I, EHSR 1.5.13). In the absence of nanosafety harmonized standards to satisfy the aforementioned EHSR, the design and design verification of the PPLs were carried out through A & B - type harmonized standards (e.g. EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 14123-1/2), and other European and international standards.The projects PLATFORM and OASIS have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreements Nº 646307 and Nº 814581, respectively.

<原著>新生児,乳児期早期の先天性心疾患に対する術前画像診断-特にエコー診断のみの妥当性と限界-

新生児,乳児期早期に開心術をせざるを得ない症例は複雑かつ重症例が多く,このような例には原則として心エコー診断にて適応と術式を決定してきた。今回この方針の妥当性と限界を検討した。'91年～96年に行なった小児開心術111例117回中,60日以内の23例23回を対象とし,手術成績,心エコー診断と実際の病態の相違,心エコー診断のみにて手術を行なったことが直接手術成績ヘ関与した程度を検討した。60日以内症例の手術成績は,薪生児18例中死亡11例,29-60日以内5例中死亡3例で,姑息術8例中死亡7例,根治術15例中死亡7例で死因は多彩,複合的であった。術前心エコー診断が術中所見と相違した例は5例で,うち2例は複雑かつ重症例で,正しく病態診断ができたとしても救命不能であったと考えられた。最終的に心エコー診断に問題があった例は心室中隔欠損症の1例での部位の問題,大血管転位症の2例での冠動脈走行の問題であった。なお心室中隔欠損症についてはその後心エコー診断能が向上し,全例正診している。2力月以上の94回の開心術では全例術前に心臓カテーテル検査,および心血管造影を行なっており,手術死亡,病院死亡ともなかったことから60日以内例でも同様な検査は望ましいが,実際上症例によっては過大侵襲となる可能性は依然として存在している。以上から当面,(1) 心室中隔欠損例ではエコー診断を中心とする,(2) 大血管転位例では可能な限り心臓カテーテル検査および心血管造影を行い,とくに冠動脈の走行を確認する,(3) 複雑心奇形例では当面特殊例を除き,より詳細に心エコー診断を行い,心臓カテーテル検査や心血管造影は最小限に止める方針が妥当と思われた。journal articl

Head Gesture Recognition in Spontaneous Human Conversations: A Benchmark

Figure 1. Overview of FIPCO. The first row shows how it was recorded. The second row presents sampled data from the three camerasand an accumulated gaze position plots over a whole sequence. The third row introduces the types of annotated gestures, including theirdefinitions, exemplar data, and overall sample distribution (number of instances, and percentage over the samples of all gesture types).conference pape

Molecular function GO terms showing highly divergent predictability by the network and the classifier ensemble

Specific functional biases of molecular function (MF) terms between the network and classifier ensemble are highlighted by plotting the difference between AUCand AUCfor Gene Ontology (GO) terms showing the largest ΔAUC = max(AUC, 0.5) - max(AUC, 0.5). The plot was generated using the same method as in Figure 4.

Three Different Features Measuring the Similarity between Two Faces

<div><p>(A) Two faces in I set domain family (green and magenta) interacting with fibroblast growth factor (gray) in different binding orientations. The faces of I set domains are shown in spheres.</p><p>(B) IFT—the interface residues (uppercase) are mapped by ones and others (lowercase) as zeroes on the aligned sequences. The common patterns of interface residues are outlined with red boxes. The IFTs are simplified just to illustrate the minimal characteristics. In reality, the length of an IFT is the same as its aligned sequence.</p><p>(C) Face overlap—the interface atoms are highlighted at the intersection of the two faces after superposition of two I set domains.</p><p>(D) Face angle—the angle between the centres of the two faces and the common centre of the superposed I set domains (see <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.0020124#s3" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a> for details).</p></div
