TL;DR: A counterintuitive synergetic effect resulting in an increase of the growth rate for decreasing wire-to-wire distance is reported, which has its origin in the catalytic decomposition of precursors and is applicable to a variety of nanowire materials and growth techniques.
Abstract: Interest in nanowires continues to grow because they hold the promise of monolithic integration of high-performance semiconductors with new functionality into existing silicon technology. Most nanowires are grown using vapour-liquid-solid growth, and despite many years of study this growth mechanism remains under lively debate. In particular, the role of the metal particle is unclear. For instance, contradictory results have been reported on the effect of particle size on nanowire growth rate. Additionally, nanowire growth from a patterned array of catalysts has shown that small wire-to-wire spacing leads to materials competition and a reduction in growth rates. Here, we report on a counterintuitive synergetic effect resulting in an increase of the growth rate for decreasing wire-to-wire distance. We show that the growth rate is proportional to the catalyst area fraction. The effect has its origin in the catalytic decomposition of precursors and is applicable to a variety of nanowire materials and growth techniques.

TL;DR: Bub1 maintains the steady-state levels and centromeric localization of Sgo1 in mitosis of human cells, which means that Bub1 protectsCentromeric cohesion through Shugoshin inMitosis.
Abstract: Sister chromatids in mammalian cells remain attached mostly at their centromeres at metaphase because of the loss of cohesion along chromosome arms in prophase. Here, we report that Bub1 retains centromeric cohesion in mitosis of human cells. Depletion of Bub1 or Shugoshin (Sgo1) in HeLa cells by RNA interference causes massive missegregation of sister chromatids that originates at centromeres. Surprisingly, loss of chromatid cohesion in Bub1 and Sgo1 RNA-interference cells does not appear to require the full activation of separase but, instead, triggers a mitotic arrest that depends on Mad2 and Aurora B. Bub1 maintains the steady-state levels and centromeric localization of Sgo1. Therefore, Bub1 protects centromeric cohesion through Shugoshin in mitosis.

TL;DR: A software tool that facilitates visualization and objective, quantitative comparisons of coronary MRA data obtained with different scanning methods was developed and the first results obtained in healthy adults and in patients with coronary artery disease are presented.
Abstract: In order to compare coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) data obtained with different scanning methodologies, adequate visualization and presentation of the coronary MRA data need to be ensured. Furthermore, an objective quantitative comparison between images acquired with different scanning methods is desirable. To address this need, a software tool ("Soap-Bubble") that facilitates visualization and quantitative comparison of 3D volume targeted coronary MRA data was developed. In the present implementation, the user interactively specifies a curved subvolume (enclosed in the 3D coronary MRA data set) that closely encompasses the coronary arterial segments. With a 3D Delaunay triangulation and a parallel projection, this enables the simultaneous display of multiple coronary segments in one 2D representation. For objective quantitative analysis, frequently explored quantitative parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR); and vessel length, sharpness, and diameter can be assessed. The present tool supports visualization and objective, quantitative comparisons of coronary MRA data obtained with different scanning methods. The first results obtained in healthy adults and in patients with coronary artery disease are presented.

TL;DR: An automated confocal Raman microspectrometer for rapid measurement of molecular concentration profiles in the skin is described in this paper, which permits the successive collection of Raman spectra at a range of depths below the skin surface.
Abstract: An automated confocal Raman microspectrometer for rapid measurement of molecular concentration profiles in the skin is described. It permits the successive collection of Raman spectra at a range of depths below the skin surface. The axial resolution of the confocal Raman microspectrometer is 5.1±0.2 µm. The setup was applied to determine water concentration profiles of the stratum corneum and to determine changes therein as a result of hydration of the skin. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, a broadband and omnidirectional antireflection coating consisting of semiconductor nanowires is fabricated and the reflection is reduced due to a graded refractive index, which is achieved by a certain nanorod-length distribution of cylindrical and conically shaped rods.
Abstract: A broad-band and omnidirectional antireflection coating consisting of semiconductor nanowires is fabricated. The reflection is reduced due to a graded refractive index, which is achieved by a certain nanorod-length distribution of cylindrical and conically shaped rods. An increased transmission and, accordingly, a reduced reflection are demonstrated for the visible and near-infrared parts of the spectrum.
