The fine adhesion pattern of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on polytyrene (PS) was investigated by carbon negative-ion implantation with decreasing the implanted line-width. The carbon negative ions with certain ion fluence of 3 × 1014 ions/cm2 and ion energy of 10 keV were implanted through the ridge-pattern mask having slit aperture from 0 to 40 μm. After 2 days of culture of rat MSCs on the modified PS, the MSCs elongated and adhered along the implanted region due to the lowering of contact angle after the ion implantation. The cells stained with fluorescent dye of DAPI were used to observe the position of cell adhesion on the modified line-width. By decreasing the line-width from 40 to 3 μm, we found the adhesion arrangements from the gathering cells to the individual cells. The most probable adhesions of the gathering cells in a lateral direction of the line were found at a wider width than 20 μm, while that of the individual cells were found at a width of about 10 μm. The adhesion arrangement of individual cells helped to increase the distances of cell-to-cell due to the elongated adhesion of cells along the narrowed implanted line-width. The number of adhered cells decreased with a decrease in the implanted line-width, and almost all of them had the same direction of their nucleus at the narrower line-width than 12 μm. Therefore, the controls of the individual cell-adhesion arrangement in a line and the nuclei direction could be achieved by decreasing the implanted line-width to about 10 μm. 相似文献
Effects of spectral irradiance distributions on the outdoor performance of amorphous Si//thin-film crystalline Si stacked photovoltaic (PV) modules installed at Shiga-prefecture in Japan have been investigated. Outdoor solar spectrum measurements revealed that more than 95% of annual total spectra were blue-rich compared to AM1.5 standard solar spectrum. The outdoor performance of the modules had a higher spectral dependence than that of polycrystalline Si modules. Also, the peak of the histogram of annual spectral indexes well corresponded to the peak of the outdoor performance. The results indicate that the actual spectral irradiance distribution is important in designing stacked PV modules. 相似文献
The annealing characteristics of GaAs tunnel junctions using carbon (C) as a p-type dopant were studied through current-voltage measurement and secondary-ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). After annealing (750°C, 20 min), diodes fabricated with a C-doped p+-GaAs/Si-doped n+-GaAs tunnel junction showed an excellent tunnel peak current density (JP) of 114 mA/cm2, which is a larger value than ever reported for structures using Be or Zn as a p-type dopant. Degradation of JP, in diodes after annealing was found to drastically improve when the tunnel junction was sandwiched between p- and n-AlGaAs layers. The inserted n-AIGaAs layer was more effective in suppressing JP, degradation than the p-AIGaAs layer. SIMS results revealed that Si diffusion, which causes JP, degradation, was suppressed at the interfaces of the p+-GaAs/n+-GaAs tunnel junction and the GaAs/AIGaAs heterojunction. An excellent JP value of 1.7 A/cm2 at 55 mV was obtained after annealing (750°C, 20 min) through structural optimization. 相似文献
In this work we propose a novel circuit design: a double-resonance oscillator. Its oscillation shows two oscillation modes: frequency locking to the quartz crystal resonance and LC resonance oscillation. Transition of the oscillation mode and the strength of oscillation are analyzed and reviewed for the fundamental mode in comparison with a Colpitts oscillator. The experimental results support the estimates of negative resistance for the double-resonance oscillator compared with the LC oscillator. 相似文献
N‐Alkyl‐N‐(2‐vinylbenzyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐amine derivatives undergo a one‐pot olefin isomerization/aliphatic enamine ring‐closing metathesis (RCM)/oxidation/1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition sequence with the ruthenium complex, Ru(CO)HCl(PPh3)3, a second generation Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst, and a 1,3‐dipolarophile. Overall, in a single operation the reaction sequence converts simple benzylamine derivatives into isoindolo[1,2‐a]isoquinolines with a π‐conjugated four‐ring system, through three unique ruthenium‐catalyzed transformations.
Axonal transport plays a crucial role in neuronal morphogenesis, survival and function. Despite its importance, however, the molecular mechanisms of axonal transport remain mostly unknown because a simple and quantitative assay system for monitoring this cellular process has been lacking. In order to better characterize the mechanisms involved in axonal transport, we formulate a novel computer-assisted monitoring system of axonal transport. Potential uses of this system and implications for future studies will be discussed. 相似文献
