The present invention provides compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, kits and methods for increasing expression of a gene product in a cell by contacting the cell with a microRNA (miRNA) molecule comprising a ribonucleic strand that is complementary to a non-coding nucleic acid sequence of the gene.
Abstract:
A method for controlling display of a web page on the client, the contents in said web page being assigned different priorities, includes sending an access request for the web page from the client to the server; in response to said access request, the server sending controllers for implementing prioritization of said contents in the web page to the client, and the controllers retrieving the web page contents the server according to the priority order thereof for display. With the system and method, it is possible to prioritize different contents in a web page and to ensure contents with higher priority are downloaded and displayed earlier than those with lower priority, and thereby avoiding the disadvantage of multi-thread parallel download in the prior art.
Abstract:
Silicon on insulator (SOI) devices and methods for fabricating the same are provided. An exemplary embodiment of a SOI device comprises a substrate. A first insulating layer is formed over the substrate. A plurality of semiconductor islands is formed over the first insulating layer, wherein the semiconductor islands are isolated from each other. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer, protruding over the semiconductor islands and surrounding thereof. At least one recess is formed in a portion of the second insulating layer adjacent to a pair of the semiconductor islands. A first dielectric layer is formed on a portion of each of the semiconductor islands. A conductive layer is formed over the first dielectric layer and over the second insulating layer exposed by the recess. A pair of source/drain regions is oppositely formed in portions of each of the semiconductor islands not covered by the first dielectric layer and the conductive layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an integrated circuit having metal gate stacks. The integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate; a gate stack disposed on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate stack includes a high k dielectric layer and a first metal layer disposed on the high k dielectric layer; and a raised source/drain region configured on a side of the gate stack and formed by an epitaxy process, wherein the semiconductor substrate includes a silicon germanium (SiGe) feature underlying the raised source/drain region.
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a semiconductor substrate comprising a first region and a second region, forming a first PMOS device in the first region wherein a first gate electrode of the first PMOS device has a first p-type impurity concentration, forming a stress memorization layer over the first PMOS device, reducing the stress memorization layer in the first region, performing an annealing after the step of reducing the stress memorization layer in the first region, and removing the stress memorization layer. The same stress memorization layer is not reduced in a region having an NMOS device. The same stress memorization layer may not be reduced in a region including a second PMOS device.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for customizing a web page comprising components and steps for analyzing a template of the web page to obtain block elements constituting the web page template, selecting a block element to be customized, and setting an optimization and/or differentiating policy for the selected block element, thus customizing the selected block element, and storing the customized policy correlated to a selector. The invention also provides an apparatus for optimizing and/or differentiating a web page based on customized policies, which are stored correlated to selectors and web page templates, comprising a web page object selector for comparing the visited original web page and the selectors associated with the customized policies to determine the portion in the web page matched with a selector; and a policy enforcer for enforcing a corresponding policy on said matched portion, thus displaying an optimized and differentiated web page.
