EFFECTS OF ASYMMETRIC LOCAL JOULE HEATING ON SILICON NANOWIRE-BASED DEVICES FORMED BY DIELECTROPHORESIS ALIGNMENT ACROSS PT ELECTRODES

Effects of Asymmetric Local Joule Heating on Silicon Nanowire-Based Devices Formed by Dielectrophoresis Alignment Across Pt Electrodes

Abstract We demonstrate the fabrication and characterization of silicon nanowire-based devices in metal-nanowire-metal configuration using direct current dielectrophoresis.The current-voltage characteristics of the devices were found rectifying, and their direction of rectification could be determined by voltage sweep direction due to the asymmetri

Emerging spatial patterns in Antarctic prokaryotes

Recent advances in knowledge of patterns of biogeography in terrestrial eukaryotic organisms have led to a fundamental paradigm shift in understanding of the controls and history of life on land in Antarctica, and its interactions over the long term with the glaciological and geological processes that have shaped the continent.However, while it has

Integrated analysis of the expression profiles of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network in granulosa and cumulus cells from yak ovaries

Abstract Background Growing oocytes acquire the ability to mature through two-way communication between gametes and surrounding read more somatic cumulus cells (CCs).Granulosa cells (GCs) support oocyte growth, regulate meiosis progression, and modulate global oocyte transcription activity.However, the proliferation and differentiation of the yak o
