摘要:
The present invention provides nanophotovoltaic devices having sizes in a range of about 50 nm to about 5 microns, and method of their fabrication. In some embodiments, the nanophotovoltaic device includes a semiconductor core, e.g., formed of silicon, sandwiched between two metallic layers, one of which forms a Schottky barrier junction with the semiconductor core and the other forms an ohmic contact therewith. In other embodiment, the nanophotovoltaic device includes a semiconductor core comprising a p-n junction that is sandwiched between two metallic layers forming ohmic contacts with the core.

摘要:
The present invention provides peptides having an amino acid sequence that is the amino acid sequence of a human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) functional domain or a subsequence thereof, and variants of the sequence or subsequence thereof, having at least one of the BPI biological activities, such as heparin binding, heparin neutralization, LPS binding, LPS neutralization or bactericidal activity. The invention provides peptides and pharmaceutical compositions of such peptides for a variety of therapeutic uses.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to anti-fungal peptides derived from or based on Domain III (amino acids 142-169) of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and in vivo or in vitro uses of such peptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of treating gram-positive bacterial infections by administration of a BPI protein product alone, or in combination with an antibiotic. BPI protein product alone has a bactericidal or growth inhibitory effect on selected gram-positive organisms. BPI protein product also increases the susceptibility of gram-positive organisms to antibiotics and can even reverse resistance of gram-positive organisms to antibiotic.
摘要:
The present invention provides therapeutic methods for treatment of conditions including the neutralization of the anti-coagulant activity of heparin, inhibition of angiogenesis, tumor and endothelial cell proliferation, and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by administration of bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein products.

摘要:
Improved methods for the treatment of spherical surfaces designed to improve their physical and chemical properties are disclosed. The methods include the provision of a fixture by which a plurality of spherical workpieces are presented to a treatment source in a way that their entire respective spherical surfaces are uniformly treated and to a uniform predetermined depth. The fixture is mounted for motion about two axes normal to each other. The methods include randomization of the motion about one of the two axes of motion by interrupting one of the two motions for a predetermined period of time. The treatment sources include: pulsed electron beam and light sources, plasma sources, reaction chambers for CVD or MOCVD, sputtering, sputter enhanced ion implantation sources and physical vapor deposition in conjunction with an ion beam source.
