Macroporous silicon membranes as electron and x-ray transmissive windows [PDF]

, 2004
Macroporous silicon membranes are fabricated whose pores are terminated with 60 nm thin silicon dioxide shells. The transmission of electrons with energies of 5 kV-25 kV through these membranes was investigated reaching a maximum of 22% for 25 kV ...

In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Correlation of micro and nano–scale defects with WVTR for aluminium oxide barrier coatings for flexible photovoltaic modules [PDF]

, 2013
This paper seeks to establish a correlation between surface topographical defects and water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) measured under laboratory conditions for aluminium–oxide (Al2O3) barrier film employed in flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules ...

Dynamics of High‐Growth Young Firms and the Role of Venture Capitalists

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the substantial growth and upfront investments of venture capital (VC)‐backed firms observed in administrative US Census data, this study develops a life‐cycle firm dynamics model. In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.

On a foundation for Cournot equilibrium [PDF]

, 2007
We show in the context of a bilateral oligopoly where all agents are allowed to behave strategically the unexpected result that when the number of buyers becomes large the outcomes in a strategic market game do not converge to those at the Cournot ...

Equivalence of Narcissistic Personality Inventory constructs and correlates across scoring approaches and response formats [PDF]

, 2015
The prevalent scoring practice for the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) ignores the forced-choice nature of the items. The aim of this study was to investigate whether findings based on NPI scores reported in previous research can be confirmed ...

Evaluating the Probability of Survival and Damage Mechanisms of Resin Matrix Ceramics: Insights Into Wear Progression and Surface Damage Under Fatigue

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the probability of survival, failure modes, and fatigue‐induced wear progression, as well as assessed damage tolerance under simulated mastication in two resin matrix ceramics (polymer‐infiltrated ceramic networks (PICN) and resin nanoceramic (RNC)).

Combining universal‐stage, backscatter electron imaging and electron backscatter diffraction for improved indexing of planar microstructures in quartz and plagioclase

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Quartz and feldspar commonly develop planar microstructures due to shock metamorphism. These are generally investigated and indexed (identifying the crystallographic orientation along which they developed) using a universal stage (U‐stage) on a petrographic microscope.

Big Five Personality Factors Differentially Related to Positive and Negative Affect Intensity of Autobiographical Memories

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the relationship between personality and aspects of emotional experience have been investigated from a variety of different perspectives, little research has been conducted on personality traits and the affect intensity of autobiographical memories (AMs).

An Illustration of the Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) Framework on the Passion Scale

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
While exploratory factor analysis (EFA) provides a more realistic presentation of the data with the allowance of item cross-loadings, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) includes many methodological advances that the former does not.
