Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies

Abstract: ▪ Abstract Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, ev...

Whole-genome sequencing of liver cancers identifies etiological influences on mutation patterns and recurrent mutations in chromatin regulators

Abstract: Hidewaki Nakagawa and colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing of 27 hepatocellular carcinomas. They find that chromatin regulators were mutated in approximately 50% of tumors.

Highly flexible MoS2 thin-film transistors with ion gel dielectrics.

Abstract: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) thin-film transistors were fabricated with ion gel gate dielectrics. These thin-film transistors exhibited excellent band transport with a low threshold voltage (<1 V), high mobility (12.5 cm(2)/(V·s)) and a high on/off current ratio (10(5)). Furthermore, the MoS(2) transistors exhibited remarkably high mechanical flexibility, and no degradation in the electrical characteristics was observed when they were significantly bent to a curvature radius of 0.75 mm. The superior electrical performance and excellent pliability of MoS(2) films make them suitable for use in large-area flexible electronics.

the contact area and pressure distribution pattern of the knee: A study of normal and osteoarthrotic knee joints

Abstract: Seven knees were studied to determine the contact area and pressure distribution of the tibiofemoral joint, under various loads and at 0° flexion, using the casting method and special sensor sheets. At a load of 1000N (Newton) the contact area of the knee was 11.5 × lCmm2 with menisci and 5.2 × lCmm2 without menisci, and the menisci occupied 70 per cent of the total contact area. Peak pressure at 1000N was 3MPa (Mega Pascal) with the menisci and 6MPa without them. the high pressure areas were located on the lateral meniscus as well as on the uncovered part of the articular cartilage of the lateral compartment, and on the uncovered cartilage in the medial compartment. After removal of the menisci the contact area decreased to below one half that of the intact knee and the contact pressure considerably increased. These facts imply that the menisci have load bearing and load spreading functions.The contact areas were also measured in two osteoarthrotic knees and they were significantly larger than those in n...
