Adhesion of copper to poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) surfaces modified by vacuum UV photo-oxidation downstream from Ar microwave plasma
(Springer-Verlag: Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 2004-12)
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) surfaces were exposed to vacuum UV (VUV) photo-oxidation downstream from Ar microwave plasma. The modified surfaces showed the following: (1) an improvement in wettability ...
Relative significance of the terms in the CIEDE2000 and CIE94 color-difference formulas
(Optical Society of America, 2004-12)
CIELAB-based color-difference formulas are used to improve the prediction of visually perceived color differences through the introduction of various corrections to CIELAB. In our study we analyze the relative importance ...
Effects of alkyl amide solvents on the dispersion of single-wall carbon nanotubes
(The American Chemical Society: Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2004-11-04)
Stable dispersions of both as-produced (raw soot) and purified laser-generated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been demonstrated with several alkyl amide solvents. Optical absorption analysis over a range of ...
Genome-wide association study identifies ITGB3 as a QTL for whole blood serotonin
(Nature Publishing Group: European Journal of Human Genetics, 2004-11)
Serotonin has been implicated in common disorders involving the central nervous, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems. We describe the first genome-wide screen to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ...
The host galaxies of luminous quasars
(Blackwell Publishing, 2004-11)
We present the results of a deep HST/WFPC2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z~=0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolute magnitudes in the range −24 ≥ MV ...
Electrochemical transformation of SWNT/Nafion composites
(The Electrochemical Society: Electrochemical and Solid State Letters, 2004-10-08)
The electrochemical performance of single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)/Nafion composite electrodes were studied in sulfuric acid solutions. Electrochemical oxidation of the highly dispersed SWNTs within the Nafion matrix ...
Colorimetric characterization of a computer-controlled liquid crystal display
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2004-10)
A new method was used to characterize computer-controlled liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The characterization, which was performed to enable colorimetric image display, included channel independence, spatial independence, ...
The Parsec-scale radio structure of NGC 1068 and the nature of the nuclear radio source
(American Astronomical Society, 2004-10-01)
We present sensitive, multifrequency Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA2) images of the nuclear
radio sources of NGC 1068. At 5 GHz and 8.4 GHz, the radio continuum source S1, argued to
mark the location of the hidden active ...
A novel ultra-violet assisted anisotropic etching of plastic to realize micro-gears
(Elsevier: Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2004-09-21)
An ultraviolet assisted chemical etching of plastic is reported in which the etching of PET substrates is anisotropic in the direction of
light illumination. A strong solvent as di-methyl-formamide (DMF) is exploited to ...
Handling multiple testing while interpreting microarrays with the Gene Ontology Database
(BioMed Central: BMC Bioinformatics, 2004-09-06)
Background
The development of software tools that analyze microarray data in the context of genetic knowledgebases is being pursued by multiple research groups using different methods. A common problem for many of these ...
