Utility of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review

Antibiotics, 2022
Blood cultures have been the gold standard for identifying pathogens in infective endocarditis (IE). Blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE), however, occurs in 40% or more of IE cases with the bulk of them due to recent antibiotic exposure prior to ...

Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on low collisionality discharges in MAST and a comparison with ASDEX Upgrade [PDF]

, 2014
Sustained ELM mitigation has been achieved on MAST and AUG using RMPs with a range of toroidal mode numbers over a wide region of low to medium collisionality discharges.

Using ultra-thin parylene films as an organic gate insulator in nanowire field-effect transistors

, 2018
We report the development of nanowire field-effect transistors featuring an ultra-thin parylene film as a polymer gate insulator. The room temperature, gas-phase deposition of parylene is an attractive alternative to oxide insulators prepared at high ...

Ex-situ Tunnel Junction Process Technique Characterized by Coulomb Blockade Thermometry [PDF]

, 2010
We investigate a wafer scale tunnel junction fabrication method, where a plasma etched via through a dielectric layer covering bottom Al electrode defines the tunnel junction area. The ex-situ tunnel barrier is formed by oxidation of the bottom electrode

Novel inferences of ionisation & recombination for particle/power balance during detached discharges using deuterium Balmer line spectroscopy

, 2019
The physics of divertor detachment is determined by divertor power, particle and momentum balance. This work provides a novel analysis technique of the Balmer line series to obtain a full particle/power balance measurement of the divertor.

The influence of mask thickness on charging damage during overetching [PDF]

, 1997
Feature-scale charging simulations during gate electrode overetching in high-density plasmas reveal that the thickness of the insulating mask plays a critical role in charging damage. When thinner masks are used, the electron irradiance of the conductive

Experiments on plasma detachment in a V-shaped slot divertor in the DIII-D tokamak

Nuclear Fusion
Experiments in DIII-D demonstrate that the upstream plasma density to detach an un-pumped slot divertor is similar for a V-shaped and a flat-end slot, despite significantly higher neutral pressure in the V-shaped slot and in contrast to SOLPS-ITER ...
