We report a method using in situ etching to decouple the axial from the radial nanowire growth pathway, independent of other growth parameters. Thereby a
wide range of growth parameters can be explored to improve the nanowire properties without concern of tapering or excess structural
defects formed during radial growth. We demonstrate the method using etching by HCl during InP nanowire growth. The improved
crystal quality of etched nanowires is indicated by strongly enhanced photoluminescence as compared to reference nanowires
obtained without etching.

OBJECTIVES: To determine if myocardial injury results from hepatoenteric ischemia-reperfusion. We also proposed to determine if this remote heart injury is mediated by a xanthine oxidase-dependent mechanism. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled animal study. SETTING: University-based animal research facility. SUBJECTS: Thirty-six New Zealand white male rabbits, weighing 1.8 to 3 kg. INTERVENTIONS: Anesthetized rabbits were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 9 per group): a) a sham-operated group; b) a sham-operated group pretreated with sodium tungstate (xanthine oxidase inactivator); c) an aorta occlusion group; and d) an aorta occlusion group pretreated with sodium tungstate. Descending thoracic aorta occlusion was maintained for 40 mins with a 4-Fr Fogarty embolectomy catheter, followed by 2 hrs of reperfusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Myocardial injury, manifested by increased circulating creatine kinase-MB fraction activity, was significantly associated with aortic occlusion and reperfusion (p < .05). Sodium tungstate pretreatment significantly (p < .05) reduced circulating and myocardial xanthine oxidase activity. Xanthine oxidase inactivation by sodium tungstate significantly decreased circulating creatine kinase-MB fraction activity after hepatoenteric ischemia-reperfusion (p < .05). Finally, circulating creatine kinase-MB fraction activity was significantly associated with circulating xanthine oxidase activity (r2 = .85; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that remote myocardial injury is caused by hepatoenteric ischemia-reperfusion. The pathoetiology of this myocardial injury involves a xanthine oxidase-dependent mechanism. 相似文献
To reduce occupational-related diseases, injuries and impairments to the musculo-skeletal systems, an ergonomics analysis of the work process is necessary. The authors describe a project to develop an automatic ergonomic work analysis method using existing and developed models of work stress factors. It was designed to record the work accurately without disrupting activities, and describe the situation so that production engineers and designers can be supplied with basic information for ameliorative measures. The system determines such parameters as the position and movement of 14 parts of the body, and such measurements as force exerted, range of movement and static stress. A pilot study with a prototype of the system has been completed and tested with simple work sequences. 相似文献
Tested 6 water-deprived male albino rats in 6 consecutive light-dark simultaneous discrimination reversals in a T maze. Measurements were obtained of (a) the animal's choices, (b) the time from the start box to the choice point, (c) the time in the choice point, and (d) the time from the choice point to the water spout at the end of the arm. Results indicate that response times were a reliable indicator of discrimination reversal learning and that the discrimination process was composed of separate prechoice, choice, and postchoice components.

Comments on the contribution of D. R. Fox (see record 1985-30567-001) whose central thesis was that psychological researchers have ignored radical decentralization as a possible solution to the global commons problem confronting society today. It is suggested that Fox's argument is weakened by inaccurate statements and logical flaws. In addition, it is asserted that Fox interpreted a single experiment without reference to the overall research program and assumed that most people would prefer to live in small autonomous communities.

We used polarization spectroscopy to detect level crossings in the fine structure of excitons in strained InAs islands grown on [001] GaAs. The crossings gave rise to quasi-resonant peaks, when monitoring the circularly polarized photoluminescence (PL) as a function of magnetic field. The peaks could also be detected as increases of the PL intensity. The resonant magnetic field was strongly dependent on detection energy within the PL emission peak. This energy selection is equivalent to monitoring a specific size or small interval within the broader size and shape distribution inherent to the growth process. The resonance was observed to shift to a higher magnetic field, when increasing the angle between field and sample growth direction. Basic arguments based on quantum confinement and the exciton fine structure can qualitatively account for the observations. Together with hole effective g-values the level crossing fields can be used to calculate the zero magnetic field splitting of the exciton fine structure. 相似文献
In order to reduce production costs, it is of great interest to use longitudinal seam welds when manufacturing large diameter pipes. The cost reduction can be as high as 30%. However, severe inservice accidents for this type of pipes working in the creep regime have occurred mainly due to mismatch in weldment creep properties.
In many cases, creep tests of cross-weld specimens, taken from the seam weld, are used to predict the behaviour of the seam weld, assuming that the creep behaviour of specimen and weldment is equivalent. Experiences of this procedure indicate that further knowledge is required before translation between specimen and component can be made.
In the present paper, both full scale seam welded pipes and cross-weld specimens are studied with the damage mechanics concept using finite element, FE, technique. The same mechanical model of multiple material zones is used for the two components. Both the influence of differences in creep properties between the weldment constituents and the size effect of the cross-weld specimen, are studied.
It is found that the cross-weld test results can not directly be translated to the full scale component. Factors such as the creep properties and the relative geometry of the weldment constituents and the size of the cross-weld specimen have to be considered when performing creep life assessment. 相似文献
