Ultra thin tantalum nitride (TaNx) films with various thicknesses (10 nm to 40 nm) have been deposited by rf magnetron sputtering technique on glass substrates. The as deposited films were systematically characterized by several analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR double beam spectrophotometer and four point probe method. From the XRD results, the as deposited films are in amorphous nature, irrespective of the film thicknesses. The films composition was changed greatly with increasing the film thickness. SEM micrographs exhibited the densely pack microstructure, and homogeneous surface covered by small size grains at lower thickness deposited films. The surface roughness of the films was linearly increases with increasing the films thickness, consequently the transmittance decreased. The absorption edge was shifted towards higher wavelength as the film thickness increases.

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor with histologic diversity. The majority of these tumor occurs in the parotid gland. The authors experienced the patients, who complained the tumor-like soft tissue mass on the palatal area. After careful analysis of clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, we diagnosed it as pleomorphic adenoma in the palatal area, and obtained characteristic features were as follows: 1. Main clinical symptom was a painless, slow growing, soft tissue mass with normal intact overlying mucosa on the palatal area. 2. In the radiographic examminations, well encapsulated homogeneous soft tissue mass was shown in the lesion site, and cortical thinning on the palate was also observed. 3. In histopathologic examminations, proliferated cellular components in the hyaline stroma were observed as double layered duct-like structure and densely solid sheet appearance.

This study examined the creation mechanism of free volume during homogeneous deformation induced by the elastostatic compression at room temperature. Experiments demonstrated that amorphous alloys subjected to the elastostatic compression underwent structural disordering, during which densely packed polyhedra breakdown to form new, loosely packed ones, resulting in the creation of excess free volume. A combination of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore fundamental issues on how free volume is created during elastostatic compression.

The principal fibers used in constructing the cocoon in the garden spider, Argiope aurantia, are large-diameter fibers developed from tubuliform glands and small-diameter fibers presumed to be spun by the aciniform silk glands. Scanning electron micrographs of the large-diameter fibers on both surfaces of the cocoon clearly reveal their fine structural differences. While the silk fibers on the inner surface have smooth and homogeneous appearances, each fiber on the outer surface represents a multicomponent internal structure. Examination of each fibers using transmission electron microscope also provides additional evidence that the multicomponent fibers contain numerous electron lucent fibrils embedded in an amorphous electron dense matrix. It has been also revealed that two types of secretory granules presumed to be the precursors of tubuliform fibers are closely related to the production of distinct coloration in luminal contents - brownish and yellowish components. Moreover, these electron-dense granules, possibly precursor of fibrillar component, and electron-lucent granules, possibly precursor of matrix component, are densely packed and remain close to each other without fusion. It is critical evidence that the individual tubuliform fiber is not only heterogeneous and multicomponent but also takes place in a variety at manners throughout the length of the gland.

With vast amounts of spectrum available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band, small cells at mmWave frequencies densely deployed underlying the conventional homogeneous macrocell network have gained considerable interest from academia, industry, and standards bodies. Due to high propagation loss at higher frequencies, mmWave communications are inherently directional, and concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse) under low inter-link interference can be enabled to significantly improve network capacity. On the other hand, mmWave links are easily blocked by obstacles such as human body and furniture. In this paper, we develop a multi-hop relaying transmission (MHRT) scheme to steer blocked flows around obstacles by establishing multi-hop relay paths. In MHRT, a relay path selection algorithm is proposed to establish relay paths for blocked flows for better use of concurrent transmissions. After relay path selection, we use a multi-hop transmission scheduling algorithm to compute near-optimal schedules by fully exploiting the spatial reuse. Through extensive simulations under various traffic patterns and channel conditions, we demonstrate MHRT achieves superior performance in terms of network throughput and connection robustness compared with other existing protocols, especially under serious blockage conditions. The performance ofMHRT with different hop limitations is also simulated and analyzed for a better choice of the maximum hop number in practice.

This study was purposed to evaluate the influence of anodically oxidized film on titanium (Ti) onto MG-63 osteoblast-like cell attachment and activity. Only scratch lines created by polishing were seen in ASR and ANO-1 groups. About $1.5{\mu}m$-thick homogeneous oxide film which has pores of about $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter were formed in ANO-12. The crystalline structure of the oxide films formed by anodization in phosphoric acid electrolyte was $TiP_2O_7$. The total protein amounts of ANO-1 and ANO-12 groups showed higher values of maximum protein amount than that of AS-R group. At 3 days of incubation, total protein amount showed higher value in ANO-2 when comparing to that of AS-R (p<0.05). Based on the results of ALPase activity test, the degree of MG-63 cell differentiation for initial mineralization matrix formation was similar. For all the test groups after 1 day of incubation, MG-63 cells grew healthily in mono-layer with dendritic extensions. After incubation for 3 days, the specimen surfaces were covered more densely by cells, and numerous micro filaments were extruding to the extracellular matrix.

Highly c-axis oriented nanocrystalline ZnO thin films on silica glass substrates were prepared by spin coating-pyrolysis process with a zinc naphthenate precursor. Only the XRD intensity peak of (002) phase was observed for all samples. With an increase in heat treatment temperature, the peak intensity of (002) phase increases. No significant aggregation of particle was present. From scanning probe microscopy analyses, three-dimensional grain growth, which was thought to be due to inhomogeneous substrate surface and c-axis oriented grain growth of the ZnO phase, was independent on heal-treatment temperature. Highly homogeneous surface of the highly-oriented ZnO film was observed at $800^{\circ}C$. All the films exhibited a high transmittance (above 80%) in visible region except film heat treated at $1000^{\circ}C$, and showed a sharp fundamental absorption edge at about $0.38{\sim}0.40{\mu}m$. The estimated energy band gap for all the films were within the range previously reported for films and single crystal. ZnO films, consisting of densely packed grains with smooth surface morphology were obtained by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, expected to be ideal for practical application, such as transparent conductive film and optical device.

The structure, morphology, and physical properties of syndiotatic poly(vinyl alcohol) (s-PVA) gel spun fibers were investigated to prepare polymeric embolization coils. S-PVA was prepared by saponification of the poly(vinyl acetate)/poly(vinyl pivalate)(PVAc/PVPi) copolymer. The viscosity of s-PVA solutions showed shear thinning behavior and the solution formed a homogeneous phase. Based on shear viscosity change with concentration, the optimum dope concentration was selected as 13 wt%, after which s-PVA fibers were spun and the solvent was removed. The fibers were then drawn with a maximum draw ratio of 15. A polymeric embolization coil was made of the s-PVA gel-spun fibers. The fibers were wound densely onto rigid rod and then annealed at different annealing temperatures. The polymeric embolization coil annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ was similar to metallic coils and its shape was maintained well after extension. Overall, gel-spun PVA fibers performed well for the preparation of primary and secondary coils to replace metallic coils.
