Application of selective implantation in Al0.5Ga0.5As/In0.25Ga0.75As/GaAs pseudomorphic single quantum wire structures

A pseudomorphic Al0.5Ga0.5As/In0.25Ga0.75As/GaAs asymmetric quantum wire (QWR) structure was grown on GaAs V-grooved substrate by low pressure metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The formation of crescent shaped QWRs at the bottom of the V-grooves was confirmed by both transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The temperature dependence of PL spectra demonstrated a fast decrease of the sidewall quantum well PL intensity with increasing temperature, which originates from relaxation of carriers from well to wire region. The self-aligned dual implantation technique was successfully used to selectively disable the adjacent quantum structures. Decrease of the PL intensity of QWR at 8 K was observed after selective implantation, which resulted from a decreased number of carriers relaxed from adjacent quantum structures.     

Synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes by arc-vaporization under high gravity condition

Arc-vaporization is one of the common methods to synthesize single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). However the detailed synthesis mechanism is still not clear, and the synthesis of longer and chirality-selected SWNTs has not been obtained. Here influence of the gravity G = 1 g₀, 2 g₀, and 3 g₀ is studied in order to develop the synthesis method of SWNTs. Simultaneously, calculations of heat convection are also carried out by using a fluid simulation program and the results are compared with the experimental results.     

On symbolic manipulation and code generation of a hybrid three-dimensional solid element

A symbolic procedure is utilized to derive the analytical expressions of the component matrices resulting to the closed-form integration of a stiffness matrix of a hybrid finite element. In order to alleviate the expression growth problem, we employ special techniques, including the use of symmetry conditions, pattern search, and introduction of intermediate variables, so that the final form of the derived stiffness matrix is suitable for coding implementation. Application of the symbolic procedure is made on a hybrid three-dimensional 8-node solid element. The same procedure is equally applicable to other types of hybrid elements.

CAR T Cell Therapy in Hematological Malignancies: Implications of the Tumor Microenvironment and Biomarkers on Efficacy and Toxicity

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has ushered in a new era in cancer treatment. Remarkable outcomes have been demonstrated in patients with previously untreatable relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies. However, optimizing efficacy and reducing the risk of toxicities have posed major challenges, limiting the success of this therapy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in CAR T cell therapy’s effectiveness and the risk of toxicities. Increasing research studies have also identified various biomarkers that can predict its effectiveness and risk of toxicities. In this review, we discuss the various aspects of the TME and biomarkers that have been implicated thus far and discuss the role of creating scoring systems that can aid in further refining clinical applications of CAR T cell therapy and establishing a safe and efficacious personalised medicine for individuals.     

Recovery of PTUIE handling from source codes through recognizing its probable properties

Automated recovery of system features and their designs from program source codes is important in reverse engineering and system comprehension. It also helps in the testing of software. An error that is made by users in an input to an execution of a transaction and discovered only after the completion of the execution is called a posttransaction user-input error (PTUIE) of the transaction. For a transaction in any database application, usually, it is essential to-provide transactions for correcting the effect that could result from any PTUIE of the transaction. We discover some probable properties that exist between the control flow graph of a transaction and the control flow graphs of transactions for correcting PTUIE of the former transaction. Through recognizing these properties, we present a novel approach for the automated approximate recovery of provisions and designs for transactions to correct PTUIE of transactions in a database application. The approach recognizes these properties through analyzing the source codes of transactions in the database application statically.     

面向医学数据的分层剥离体绘制算法

采用直接体绘制方法显示医学数据时,一般通过修改传递函数来显示感兴趣区域,但仅通过调节传递函数很难清晰地显示被遮挡的人体组织,为此提出一种新的分层剥离直接体绘制算法.通过计算相邻的不透明度极小值和极大值之间的斜率,并根据用户指定的斜率阈值和累积不透明度阈值确定分层点,实现对体数据的分层绘制.实验结果证明,该算法可以根据不同医学数据的特征信息更精确地定位分层点,绘制效果清晰,速度较快.     

Further result on a dynamic recurrent neural-network-based adaptive observer for a class of nonlinear systems

In Kim et al. [(1997) A dynamic recurrent neural-network-based adaptive observer for a class of nonlinear systems. Automatica 33(8), 1539–1543], authors present an excellent neural network (NN) observer for a class of nonlinear systems. However, the output error equation in their paper is strictly positive real (SPR) which is restrictive assumption for nonlinear systems. In this note, by introducing a vector b₀ and Lyapunov equation, the observer design is obtained without requiring the SPR condition. Thus, our observer can be applied to a wider class of systems.
