01 Jan 2001TL;DR: In this paper, a stacked-surrounding gate transistor (S-SGT) structured cell is proposed to overcome the limitation of cell area of 4F/sup 2/N per bit in conventional NAND flash memory cells.
Abstract: In order to overcome the limitation of cell area of 4F/sup 2/ per bit in conventional NAND flash memory cells, stacked-surrounding gate transistor (S-SGT) structured cell is proposed. This newly structured cell achieves a cell area of 4F/sup 2//N per bit, where N is the number of stacked memory cells in one silicon pillar, without using multibit per memory cell technology. The S-SGT structured cell consisting of two stacked memory cells in one silicon pillar achieves a cell area per bit of less than 50% of the smallest reported NAND structured cell. The novel S-SGT structured cells are fabricated by vertical self-aligned processes using a 0.2 /spl mu/m design rule. The S-SGT structured cell can be programmed and erased by uniform injection and uniform emission of Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling electrons over the whole channel area of the memory cell, respectively, which is the same program and erase mechanism as in conventional NAND structured cell. This high performance S-SGT structured cell is applicable to high-density nonvolatile memories for 16 G/64 G bit Flash memories and beyond.

TL;DR: Tight high-convexity and medial subarachnoid spaces, and enlarged Sylvian fissures with ventriculomegaly, defined as disproportionately enlarged subarACHnoid-space hydrocephalus (DESH), are worthwhile for the diagnosis of iNPH.
Abstract: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable neurological syndrome in the elderly Although the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of tight high-convexity and medial subarachnoid spaces and the ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt with programmable valve are reportedly useful for diagnosis and treatment, respectively, their clinical significance remains to be validated We conducted a multicenter prospective study (Study of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus on Neurological Improvement: SINPHONI) to evaluate the utility of the MRI-based diagnosis for determining the 1-year outcome after VP shunt with the Codman-Hakim programmable valve Twenty-six centers in Japan were involved in this study Patients aged between 60 and 85 years with one or more of symptoms (gait, cognitive, and urinary problems) and MRI evidence of ventriculomegaly and tight high-convexity and medial subarachnoid spaces received VP shunt using the height/weight-based valve pressure-setting scheme The primary endpoint was a favorable outcome (improvement of one level or more on the modified Rankin Scale: mRS) at one year after surgery, and the secondary endpoints included improvement of one point or more on the total score of the iNPH grading scale Shunt responder was defined by more than one level on mRS at any evaluation point in one year The full analysis set included 100 patients A favorable outcome was achieved in 690% and 800% were shunt responders When measured with the iNPH grading scale, the one-year improvement rate was 770%, and response to the surgery at any evaluation point was detected in 890% Serious adverse events were recorded in 15 patients, three of which were events related to surgery or VP shunt Subdural effusion and orthostatic headache were reported as non-serious shunt-related adverse events, which were well controlled with readjustment of pressure The MRI-based diagnostic scheme is highly useful Tight high-convexity and medial subarachnoid spaces, and enlarged Sylvian fissures with ventriculomegaly, defined as disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid-space hydrocephalus (DESH), are worthwhile for the diagnosis of iNPH This study is registered with ClinicalTrialsgov, number NCT00221091

TL;DR: Wannier90 as mentioned in this paper is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states, which is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representing these BLoch states.
Abstract: Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representing these Bloch states. In the past few years the development of Wannier90 has transitioned to a community-driven model; this has resulted in a number of new developments that have been recently released in Wannier90 v3.0. In this article we describe these new functionalities, that include the implementation of new features for wannierisation and disentanglement (symmetry-adapted Wannier functions, selectively-localised Wannier functions, selected columns of the density matrix) and the ability to calculate new properties (shift currents and Berry-curvature dipole, and a new interface to many-body perturbation theory); performance improvements, including parallelisation of the core code; enhancements in functionality (support for spinor-valued Wannier functions, more accurate methods to interpolate quantities in the Brillouin zone); improved usability (improved plotting routines, integration with high-throughput automation frameworks), as well as the implementation of modern software engineering practices (unit testing, continuous integration, and automatic source-code documentation). These new features, capabilities, and code development model aim to further sustain and expand the community uptake and range of applicability, that nowadays spans complex and accurate dielectric, electronic, magnetic, optical, topological and transport properties of materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory is developed which allows one to discuss the stability of multiply-twinned particles and to calculate critical sizes for stable and quasi-stable states, and the critical sizes r i w *, r i t 0 and r d t 0 are formulated as functions of the specific surface energy γ h k l, the twin boundary energy θ t, the elastic strain energy W and the adhesive energy to the substrate.
Abstract: A theory is developed which allows one to discuss the stability of multiply-twinned particles and to calculate critical sizes for stable and quasi-stable states. An icosahedral particle is essentially stable for r ≦ r i w * , quasi-stable for r i w * r i t 0 where r is an edge length of the particle, while a decahedral particle is not essentially stable but quasi-stable for r ≦ r d t 0 and unstable for r > r d t 0 . The critical sizes r i w * , r i t 0 and r d t 0 are formulated as functions of the specific surface energy γ h k l , the twin boundary energy γ t , the elastic strain energy W and the adhesive energy γ a to the substrate. Calculated critical diameters 2 r i w * ,2 r i t 0 and 2 r d t 0 for the particles grown in free space for several elements range between 15.5A and 106.8A, between 109.8A and 486.1A and between 725A and 3961A, respectively. These values are in good agreement with experimental results.

TL;DR: The cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers amyloid β (Aβ)‐42, total‐Tau (T‐tau), and phosphorylated‐t Tau (P‐tAU) demonstrate good diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there are large variations in biomarker measurements between studies, and between and within laboratories.
Abstract: Background
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers amyloid β (Aβ)-42, total-tau (T-tau), and phosphorylated-tau (P-tau) demonstrate good diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, there are large variations in biomarker measurements between studies, and between and within laboratories. The Alzheimer’s Association has initiated a global quality control program to estimate and monitor variability of measurements, quantify batch-to-batch assay variations, and identify sources of variability. In this article, we present the results from the first two rounds of the program.
