    Abstract: Method of doping a semiconductor sample in a uniform and carbon-free way, wherein said sample has a surface, comprising the following steps: A. removing oxides from at least part of the said surface; B. dip coating said at least part of the surface of the sample in a dopant based carbon-free solution of at least one dopant based carbon free substance diluted in water, wherein said at least one dopant based carbon free substance has a molecule comprising at least one dopant atom, wherein the dip coating is achieved by heating said dopant based carbon-free solution at a dip coating temperature from 65% to 100% of the boiling temperature of said dopant based carbon-free solution, thereby a self-assembled mono-layer including dopant atoms is formed; C. annealing said sample, wherein the annealing is configured to cause said dopant atoms included in said self-assembled mono-layer to be diffused into the sample.

    Abstract: A Fourier-transform hyperspectral imaging system may include an optical imaging system configured to produce an image of an object, and an adjustable birefringent common-path interferometer module comprising a movable birefringent element and configured to produce interfering replicas of an input radiation which are delayed from each other by a phase delay adjustable by the moving birefringent element. The interferometer module may be configured to produce collinear replicas for entering optical rays parallel to said optical axis. The hyperspectral imaging system further comprises a two-dimensional light detector configured to receive the replicas and provide digital images of the object depending on said adjustable phase delay. The system also includes an analysis device configured to perform a Fourier Transform of the digital images to obtain a hyperspectral representation of the object.

    Abstract: Method for creating a coherent voting network including the steps of: a) organizing predetermined data from a cohort of patients in a master matrix having in its row the list of patients and having in its column the expression value of a panel of genes; b) applying a predetermined statistical test to each gene to evaluate which genes better discriminates survival or not-survival classes for patients, thus obtaining a first candidate panel of genes; c) discretizing the expression value of each of the genes belonging to said first candidate panel; d) converting the quantized master matrix in a first bipartite graph; e) applying a predetermined algorithm to the bipartite graph (G) to obtain a collection of bipartite communities; f) applying a predetermined algorithm to the communities, thus obtaining a second candidate panel; g) creating an updated bipartite graph comprising nodes-patients and nodes-gene whose genes belongs to the second candidate panel; h) repeating step e) on the updated bipartite graph; i) applying, at each community, a decision function on each patient belonging to it, to determine whether to assign her at the survival or not-survival class; j) checking, for each patient belonging to the various communities of step i), whether the class assigned is the same as the class of the master matrix; k) checking whether the percentage of coherent patients in the voting network is greater than a predetermined threshold, thus obtaining a coherent coting network.

    Abstract: A heat transfer device and method are disclosed. The device includes a working region (i.e., working substance) made from a first superconducting material having a superconducting state and a normal state when magnetized. The first superconducting material has a first energy gap while in the superconducting state. A substrate (i.e., cold reservoir) is connected to the working region at a first tunnel junction. The substrate may be a metallic substrate. A heat sink (i.e., hot reservoir) is connected to the working region at a second tunnel junction. The heat sink is made from a second superconducting material having a second energy gap that is larger than the first energy gap. In a particular example, the heat transfer device includes a metallic substrate is made from Copper, a working region made from Tantalum, a heat sink made from Niobium, and the first and second tunnel junctions are made from Tantalum Oxide.
