New fabrication approach to ZnO multiple nanofiber sensors
In the presented work, ZnO nanofiber sensor structures designed and fabricated
using a standard microelectronic device technology were studied. The structures in the
configuration of a resistor with chemically active ZnO multiple nanofibers deposited by
electrospinning method were prepared. Investigation of inclusion in the process reactive-
ly sputtered AlN insulating film to improve the robustness of the nanofibres on the
substrate was undertaken. Selective wet chemical etching of AlN film using photoresist
developers and a photoresist mask to define the sensor active area was studied. The
Ti/Au ohmic contacts were fabricated using the lift-off photolithography process. To-
pography of the sensor structure details was investigated using AFM. Electrical charac-
terization by means of I-V measurements was made. Sensitivity to the physiologically
relevant concentration of Bovine Serum Albumin in water solution was shown.

Electrical and Magnetic Performance of the LHC Short Straight Sections
The Short Straight Section (SSS) for the Large Hadron Collider arcs, containing in a common cryostat the lattice quadrupoles and correction magnets, have now entered series production. The foremost features of the lattice quadrupole magnets are a two-in-one structure containing two 56Â mm aperture, two-layers coils wound from 15.1Â mm wide NbTi cables, enclosed by the stainless steel collars and ferromagnetic yoke, and inserted into the inertia tube. Systematic cryogenic tests are performed at CERN in order to qualify these magnets with respect to their cryogenic and electrical integrity, the quench performance and the field quality in all operating conditions. This paper reports the main results obtained during tests and measurements in superfluid helium. The electrical characteristics, the insulation measurements and the quench performance are compared to the specifications and expected performances for these magnets. The field in the main quadrupole is measured using three independent systems: 10-m long twin rotating coils, an automatic scanner, and single stretched wire. A particular emphasis is given to the integrated transfer function which has a spread of around 12Â units rms in the production and is a critical issue. The do-decapole harmonic component, which required trimming through a change in coil shims, is also discussed. Finally, the magnetic axis measurements at room temperature and at 1.9Â K, providing the nominal vertical shift for installation are reported
Status of the Superconducting Magnets for FAIR
Silicon microdosimetry measurements in Fast Neutron Therapy were simulated using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit. The possibility of using silicon microdosimeters for verification of Monte Carlo based treatment planning systems in hadron therapy is suggested

Influence of high Al fraction on reactive ion etching of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures
In this study, the results of reactive ion etching (RIE) process of diversified Al content AlxGa1–xN/AlN/GaN/sapphire heterostructures were presented. The Al fractions of 22, 25, 31 and 36% were examined. An impact of Al content in the heterostructures on the etch rates and surface morphology was investigated. The influence of used Cl2/BCl3/Ar gas mixture with varying of BCl3 flow on the etch rate of Al0.2Ga0.8N/GaN/sapphire, surface morphology and angle of mesa slope, was discussed
