Reconfigurable carrier type and photodetection of MoTe of various thicknesses by deep ultraviolet light illumination.

Tuning of the Fermi level in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) leads to devices with excellent electrical and optical properties. In this study, we controlled the Fermi level of MoTe by deep ultraviolet (DUV) light illumination in different gaseous environments. Specifically, we investigated the reconfigurable carrier type of an intrinsic p-MoTe flake that gradually transformed into n-MoTe after illumination with DUV light for 30, 60, 90, 120, 160, 250, 500, 900, and 1200 s in a nitrogen (N) gas environment.

Structure and function of a flavin-dependent S-monooxygenase from garlic ().

Allicin is a component of the characteristic smell and flavor of garlic (). A flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) produced by (AsFMO) was previously proposed to oxidize -allyl-l-cysteine (SAC) to alliin, an allicin precursor. Here, we present a kinetic and structural characterization of AsFMO that suggests a possible contradiction to this proposal.

Desmoid tumor of the facet joint: a case report.

Desmoid tumors represent a particular type of fibromatosis. The common sites for extra-abdominal desmoid tumors, known as aggressive fibromatosis, are the shoulder, chest wall, and thigh. Desmiod tumors are rare at facet joints of the spine.

Chronological changes and effects of AMP-activated kinase in the hippocampal CA1 region after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils.

Objectives: Adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase (AMPK) is an energy-specific sensor within the central nervous system. In this study, we observed AMPK and its phosphorylated form (pAMPK) in the hippocampal CA1 region after 5 minutes of transient forebrain ischemia. In addition, we also investigated the effects of Compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, against ischemic damage in gerbils.

Clinical Effects and Radiological Results of Vertebroplasty: Over a 2-year Follow-Up Period.

Objective: We investigated the association between clinical and radiological results and assessed the radiological changes according to the distribution pattern and amount of injected cement after vertebroplasty.

Methods: Two hundred and one patients underwent vertebroplasty; of these, 15 were follow up for more than 2 years. For radiological analysis, we grouped the patients according to cement distribution as follows: group 1, unilateral, unilateral distribution of cement; group 2, bilateral-uneven, bilateral distribution of cement but separated mass; and group 3, bilateral-even, bilateral single mass of cement.
