A simple diborane-degradation model for controlling p-type doping of microcrystalline silicon

The preparation of p-type amorphous- or microcrystalline silicon often requires the use of a gas mixture containing diborane. Whereas the concentration of this gas in the process chamber is critical for the determination of the doping level, and thus of the properties, of resulting films, it is in practice very difficult to have a proper control of such a concentration owing to the degradation of diborane in the cylinder by polymerisation. The main consequence is a significant lack of reproducibility of results. The present paper analyses the problem and its practical influence, describes a simple diborane-degradation model, proposes certain approaches based thereon and shows experimental results illustrating the validity of the procedures suggested. It is finally concluded that the application of this simple model is a straightforward and effective way to control diborane doping level in p-type amorphous- or microcrystalline silicon.     

A short-term longitudinal study of impulsivity and antisocial behavior.

Analyzes the relationships between impulsivity and antisocial behavior in a noninstitutionalized sample, taking into account the multidimensional nature of impulsivity and the diversity of types of antisocial behavior. Data were obtained in 1989 and 1990 from 1,226 adolescents aged 12–18 yrs as part of a longitudinal study of risk factors for drug abuse and delinquency. The patterns of stability or change of the various dimensions of antisocial behavior (rule breaking, vandalism, theft, aggression, and drug taking) in relation to impulsivity were investigated. The results support that self-report measures of impulsivity are closely correlated with antisocial behavior among adolescents. The longitudinally-oriented analysis of this work also shows that impulsivity is associated with a future increase in antisocial behavior.

Thermal Diffusivity in Supercritical Fluids Measured by Thermal Lensing

Thermal diffusivities of supercritical CO₂ and C₂H₆ were determined over a wide density range with a photothermal technique. The thermal lens, formed by the degradation of the absorbed light energy as heat by the sample, allows the employment of a nonequilibrium method in the critical region. Controlling the refractive-index gradient, i.e., a density gradient, perturbations can be maintained at levels where convection is negligible. An easy-to-operate setup allowed us to measure thermal diffusivities in the density ranges 5 to 20 mol·dm^–3 for CO₂ at 308 and 313 K and 2 to 12 mol·dm^–3 for C₂H₆ at 308 K with a standard precision of 15%.     

Prostate-specific antigen and its complexes with alpha 1-antichymotrypsin in the plasma of patients with prostatic disease

OBJECTIVE: To improve the specificity and sensitivity of the prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) assay for the distinction between prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS: Two sensitive immunoassays, one that measures free PSA and PSA complexed to alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (alpha 1-ACT) with the same efficiency (PSAag assay) and another that specifically measures the complex between PSA and alpha 1-ACT, have been designed to measure the PSA forms in the plasma of 84 patients with prostate disease and in the seminal plasma from 60 healthy individuals. RESULTS: The proportion of plasma PSA in complex with alpha 1-ACT was significantly higher in the 34 patients with prostate cancer (89 +/- 12%, mean +/- SD; median, 91%) than in the 50 patients with BPH (71 +/- 12%; 73%) and did not correlate with the total amount of PSA. Normal seminal plasma (n = 60) had 2.1 +/- 0.6 mg/ml PSA, 175 +/- 62 microns/ml alpha 1-ACT and 9.6 +/- 3.4 micrograms/ml PSA: alpha 1-ACT complex. CONCLUSION: These results confirm that PSA: alpha 1-ACT may be a good marker for a differential diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate and BPH.     

Dyadic perfectionism as a predictor of relationship continuity and distress among college students.

This study examined the nature and impact of dyadic perfectionism over a 3-month interval within a sample of 116 college students who were currently involved in an intimate heterosexual relationship. Dyadic perfectionism scores were stable and correlated as expected with scores on concurrent measures of adult attachment orientations and relationship satisfaction. Logistic regression analyses revealed that, controlling for initial commitment status and adult attachment orientations, Time 1 dyadic perfectionism scores significantly and uniquely predicted relationship continuity 3 months later. Lastly, controlling for social desirability, relationship commitment status, and Time 1 adult attachment orientation scores, Time 1 dyadic perfectionism scores also uniquely predicted Time 2 relationship distress. Findings provide additional evidence that dyadic perfectionism is a risk factor for relationship dysfunction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Investigation of functional working memory in the reading span test.

Two issues were investigated in 2 experiments: (1) the validity of a reading span test that combined a knowledge verification task with a secondary task of word memorization and (2) the hypothesis that word recall reflects the amount of working memory that is functional in reading. In Exp 1, the validity and reliability of the reading span measure were determined. In Exp 2, it was reasoned that if word recall reflected functional working memory in reading, then 2 results should be observed. The 1st predicted result was that prior exposure to sentences used in the reading span test would release working memory resources and improve word recall. The 2nd was that word recall, though correlated with general working memory and verbal knowledge measures, would add to these scores in predicting comprehension. Both sets of results were obtained, supporting the hypothesis that the reading span test measures functional working memory in reading.

Preparation and characterisation of vanadium catalysts supported over alumina-pillared clays

Supported vanadium-containing catalysts were prepared by impregnation of Al-pillared clays with NaVO₃ precursor aqueous solutions. A montmorillonite and a saponite, both natural as well as previously pillared with Al₁₃-Keggin polycations, were used as supports, being impregnated with solutions of the precursor by means of the incipient wetness technique. The layered structure of the supports is maintained after impregnation, and even after calcination of the impregnated solids at 500 °C, although with a significant worsening of the textural properties of the solids, in particular, a loss of specific surface area. Three crystalline vanadium-containing phases were identified in the impregnated solids, namely, NaV₃O₈, AlVO₄ and V₂O₅ (shcherbinaite). The reduction of these phases to V³⁺ species was observed as wide processes in the 450–750 °C range, all of them centred at ca. 600 °C.     

A comparative study of the durability and behaviour of fat lime and feebly-hydraulic lime mortars

Lime mortars are often used for repairs to historic buildings. This paper investigates two forms of lime binder: fat and feebly-hydraulic, in order to predict their long-term behaviours and hence ascertain which of the two possesses greater durability, so that they may be used more efficiently in restoration. Mortars were tested for properties governing moisture movement and also subject to durability cycles. The resistance to damage under freezing conditions was evaluated with the saturation coefficient. Thermal cycles had no effect on the mortars and gave no indication of the relative durabilities of the binders. Salt crystallization cycles, though effective in distinguishing the more durable of the two, were too aggressive to gauge a clear profile of salt weathering and succeeded in rapidly decomposing the samples. Tests on the properties governing moisture movement produced good indications of the degree to which the mortars permit flow through their fabrics. According to the results obtained, fat lime mortars are more durable than those made with feebly-hydraulic lime. The results also suggest that the feebly-hydraulic lime mortars are at a higher risk of decomposition by granular disintegration whereas fat lime mortars are better suited to damp, slightly exposed conditions. These results disagree with the general opinion that hydraulic limes are more durable than fat limes due to the additional strength and water insolubility arising from their hydraulicity.
