Bacillus anthracis is an endospore-forming bacterium that causes inhalational anthrax 1 .
Key virulence genes are found on plasmids (extra-chromosomal, circular, double-stranded …

The effect of impurity coimplantation in MeV erbium‐implanted silicon is studied. A
significant increase in the intensity of the 1.54‐μm Er 3+ emission was observed for different …

This paper details the development of a digital microfluidic platform for multiplexed real-time
polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Liquid samples in discrete droplet format are …

Omega-3 fatty acids play crucial roles in the development and function of the central nervous
system. These components, which must be obtained from dietary sources, have been …

The association and dissociation reactions of the interstitial iron-substitutional boron pair (Fe
i B s ) in silicon have been studied by capacitance transient techniques. Electronic …

A five level hierarchy of interstitial defect reactions has been observed in silicon involving
oxygen, carbon, Group III and Group V impurities. The deep electronic states of the mobile …

Carbon often appears in Si in concentrations above its solubility. In this article, we propose a
comprehensive model that, taking diffusion and clustering into account, is able to reproduce …

Laser annealing or laser processing of semiconductor crystals has been shown to yield material
that is free of extended crystallographic defects. 1, 2 In the case of pulsed (10-150 nsec) …

Extended x‐ray absorption fine structure measurements from Er‐implanted Czochralski‐grown
Si samples, which exhibit strong luminescence at 1.54 μm, reveal a local sixfold …

Species of Candida frequently cause life-threatening infections in neonates, transplant and
intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and others with compromised host defenses. The …
