Modern computer microprocessor chips are marvels of engineering complexity. For the current
45 nm technology node, there may be nearly a billion transistors on a chip barely 1 cm2 …

The purpose of this study was to examine global epidemiological trends in human norovirus
(NoV) outbreaks by transmission route and setting, and describe relationships between …

The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA
sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the …

… This solvent effect on the Wurtz-type polymerization was first described by Miller and co-workers46
in the preparation of poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane), a material of interest for its im…

It has been more than 10 years since the first electric field poled second-order nonlinear
polymers were reported. 1'2 During this period a wide variety of polymeric systems have been …

The shear‐wave (S-wave) velocity of near‐surface materials (soil, rocks, pavement) and its
effect on seismic‐wave propagation are of fundamental interest in many groundwater, …

We report a high-quality draft of the genome sequence of the grey, short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis
domestica). As the first metatherian (‘marsupial’) species to be sequenced, the …

Real and synthetic data verifies the wavefield transformation method described here converts
surface waves on a shot gather directly into images of multi-mode dispersion curves. Pre-…

Degradation-induced changes in the structural and optical properties of the polyfluorene-based
blue emitting films and LEDs are examined using spectroscopic (FTIR, UV−vis, photo- …

The molecular organization in ultrathin polymer films (thicknesses less than 1000 angstroms)
and thin polymer films (thicknesses between 1000 and 10,000 angstroms) may differ …
