Abstract:
A crystal, a preparation method and 3D structure of CD147 extracellular region are provided. Such 3D structure is useful in the determination of the active site of CD147 extracellular region by computer modeling or molecular docking method. The crystal and/or 3D structure are useful in a structure-based drug design and the selection of an antibody, a ligand or an interacting molecule of CD 147 extracellular region.
Abstract:
A data buffering method used when performing a read operation on an optical storage medium is disclosed. After a first data unit having an unidentifiable and temporarily undeducible ID address is reproduced through the read operation, the method starts storing the first data unit and subsequently reproduced data units into a buffer memory in turn. After a second ID address of a second data unit of the subsequently reproduced data units is identified, the method deduces a target memory address of the buffer memory according to the second ID address and a target ID address. A buffer start pointer is then set according to the deduced target memory address.
Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a process for making a multiphase mixture, comprising: flowing a first fluid stream through a process microchannel, the first fluid stream comprising at least one liquid and/or at least one gas, the process microchannel having an apertured section; flowing a second fluid stream through the apertured section into the process microchannel in contact with the first fluid stream to form the multiphase mixture, the second fluid stream comprising at least one gas and/or at least one microbody-forming material, the first fluid stream forming a continuous phase in the multiphase mixture, the second fluid stream forming a discontinuous phase dispersed in the continuous phase.
Abstract:
Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device on and in a semiconductor substrate having a first region and a second region are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method comprises forming a first gate stack overlying the first region and a second gate stack overlying the second region, etching into the substrate first recesses and second recesses, the first recesses aligned at least to the first gate stack in the first region, and the second recesses aligned at least to the second gate stack in the second region, epitaxially growing a first stress-inducing monocrystalline material in the first and second recesses, removing the first stress-inducing monocrystalline material from the first recesses, and epitaxially growing a second stress-inducing monocrystalline material in the first recesses, wherein the second stress-inducing monocrystalline material has a composition different from the first stress-inducing monocrystalline material.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods for fabricating semiconductor devices are provided. One exemplary method comprises providing a silicon-comprising substrate having a first surface, etching a recess into the first surface, the recess having a side surface and a bottom surface, implanting carbon ions into the side surface and the bottom surface, and forming an impurity-doped, silicon-comprising region overlying the side surface and the bottom surface.
Abstract:
Semiconductor transistor devices and related fabrication methods are provided. An exemplary transistor device includes a layer of semiconductor material having a channel region defined therein and a gate structure overlying the channel region. Recesses are formed in the layer of semiconductor material adjacent to the channel region, such that the recesses extend asymmetrically toward the channel region. The transistor device also includes stress-inducing semiconductor material formed in the recesses. The asymmetric profile of the stress-inducing semiconductor material enhances carrier mobility in a manner that does not exacerbate the short channel effect.
