An Adult Case of Severe Asymptomatic Bilateral Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

While ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a well-recognized cause of unilateral or bilateral upper urinary tract dilatation in infants and the pediatric population, its occurrence in adults is less recognized. We present the case of a 68-year-old man who was being evaluated for chronic orthostatic hypotension and was incidentally found to have asymptomatic microscopic hematuria on urinalysis. A CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis, without and with contrast, revealed severe bilateral hydronephrosis due to UPJ obstruction.

Trace-Level, Multi-Gas Detection for Food Quality Assessment Based on Decorated Silicon Transistor Arrays.

Multiplexed gas detection at room temperature is critical for practical applications, such as for tracking the complex chemical environments associated with food decomposition and spoilage. An integrated array of multiple silicon-based, chemical-sensitive field effect transistors (CSFETs) is presented to realize selective, sensitive, and simultaneous measurement of gases typically associated with food spoilage. CSFETs decorated with sensing materials based on ruthenium, silver, and silicon oxide are used to obtain stable room-temperature responses to ammonia (NH ), hydrogen sulfide (H S), and humidity, respectively.

Gate Quantum Capacitance Effects in Nanoscale Transistors.

As the physical dimensions of a transistor gate continue to shrink to a few atoms, performance can be increasingly determined by the limited electronic density of states (DOS) in the gate and the gate quantum capacitance (). We demonstrate the impact of gate and the dimensionality of the gate electrode on the performance of nanoscale transistors through analytical electrostatics modeling. For low-dimensional gates, the gate charge can limit the channel charge, and the transfer characteristics of the device become dependent on the gate DOS.

Transistor-Based Work-Function Measurement of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Ultra-Low-Power, Rationally Designed Chemical Sensors.

A classic challenge in chemical sensing is selectivity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exciting class of materials because they can be tuned for selective chemical adsorption.

Dip Coating Passivation of Crystalline Silicon by Lewis Acids.

The reduction of carrier recombination processes by surface passivation is vital for highly efficient crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells and bulk wafer metrological characterization.

Nafion is a nonreactive polymer with strong Lewis acidity, thus leading to the formation of a large density of fixed charges at silicon surface, 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than what is achievable with conventional thin-film passivation layers.

Nanoscale Junction Formation by Gas-Phase Monolayer Doping.

A major challenge in transistor technology scaling is the formation of controlled ultrashallow junctions with nanometer-scale thickness and high spatial uniformity. Monolayer doping (MLD) is an efficient method to form such nanoscale junctions, where the self-limiting nature of semiconductor surfaces is utilized to form adsorbed monolayers of dopant-containing molecules followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) to diffuse the dopants to a desired depth. Unlike ion implantation, the process does not induce crystal damage, thus making it highly attractive for nanoscale transistor processing.
