A digital loop filter installed in an all-digital phase-locked loop (PLL) receives a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) control code transmitted from a PLL controller in the all-digital PLL, and calculate an average value, such that the PLL controller can produce another DCO control code by the average value for controlling and adjusting an output signal of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) in the neighborhood of the average value to maintain compensating a phase/frequency difference with an input signal, so as to minimize the jitter effect of the input signal on the all-digital PLL, reduce the jitter effect of the output signal, and keep tracking and locking the frequency and the phase of the input signal.

This letter presents a novel modulation approach for simultaneous generation and transmission of optical radio-frequency (RF) wireless vector signal and baseband (BB) wireline signal using a single-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator. Based on a double sideband with carrier suppression scheme and properly predistorted driving vector signal, a 2.5-Gb/ s quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal at 60 GHz is generated with a 1.25-Gb/ s BB ON-OFF-keying (OOK) signal. The proposed system can carry higher spectral efficiency vector signals and needs no optical filter to separate the BB and RF signals at remote nodes. Moreover, optical RF signal generation with frequency doubling is also achieved to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the transmitter. After transmission over 25-km single-mode fiber, the power penalties of the generated QPSK and OOK signals are about 4 and 0.1 dB, respectively.

The manufacturing processes of many electronic and medical products demand the use of high-quality water. Hence the water supply systems for these processes are required to be examined regularly for the presence of microorganisms and microbial biofilms. Among commonly used bacteria detection approaches, the ATP luminescence assay is a rapid, sensitive, and easy to perform method. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ATP regeneration from inorganic pyrophosphate, a product of the ATP luminescence assay, can stabilize the bioluminescence signals in ATP detection. ADPglc pyrophosphorylase (AGPPase), which catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from PP(i) in the presence of ADPglc, was selected because the system yields much lower luminescence background than the commercially available ATP sulfurylase/adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS) system which was broadly used in pyrosequencing technology. The AGPPase-based assay could be used to measure both PPi and ATP quantitatively and shows 1.5- to 4.0-fold slight increases in a 10-min assay. The method could also be used to stabilize the luminescence signals in detection of Escherichia coli, Pseudo monas aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus in either broth or biofilm. These findings suggest that the AGPPase-based ATP regeneration system will find many practical applications such as detection of bacterial biofilm in water pipelines. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Switching kinetics in epitaxial BiFeO(3) thin films

The switching kinetics in epitaxial (001)-, (110)-, and (111)-oriented BiFeO(3) thin films were investigated as a function of applied field and time. It was found that the ferroelectric switching behavior obeys the Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi theory only in the high field range. The detailed behavior depends on the film orientation. A comparison with standard systems, such as epitaxial Pb(Zr(0.2)Ti(0.8))O(3) films, reveals some similarities as well as some differences. For instance, the presence of 109 degrees and 71 degrees ferroelastic domain walls might be ruled out as the source of the decrease in switched polarization at low applied fields, in contrast to what is the case for a/c domain walls in tetragonal Pb(Zr(0.2)Ti(0.8))O(3).

Thin crystalline films of zinc oxide (ZnO) of high quality have been grown epitaxially on a (0 0 0 1) c-plane of a sapphire substrate with atomic layer deposition (ALD) at extra-low temperature. With diethylzinc (DEZn) and deionized water as precursors in combination with interrupted flow, we obtained ZnO thin films with an optimal growth window in a range 25-160 degrees C, so effectively lowering the growth temperature by about 120 degrees C relative to the conventional method involving a continuous-flow. We characterized the microstructure of these films with X-ray reflectivity and high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The XRD results indicate that the stock time might extend the reaction of DEZn and water through an increased duration. This low temperature for growth results in increased crystalline quality and reduced the non-radiative recombination process to enhance the optical properties of ZnO films. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The effect of carrier mobility in organic solar cells

The microscopic states and performance of organic solar cell are investigated theoretically to explore the effect of the carrier mobility. With Ohmic contacts between the semiconductor and the metal electrodes there are two origins of carriers in the semiconductor: the photocarriers generated by photon absorption and the dark carriers diffused from the electrodes. The power efficiency of the solar cell is limited by the recombination of a carrier with either the photocarrier or a dark carrier. Near the short-circuit condition the photocarrier recombination in the semiconductor bulk decreases as the mobility increases. Near the open-circuit condition the dark carrier recombination increases with the mobility. These two opposite effects balance with one another, resulting in an optimal mobility about 10(-2) cm(2)/V s which gives the highest power conversion efficiency. The balance of the electron and hole mobilities are not necessary to maintain the optimal efficiency also because of the balance of the photocarrier and dark carrier recombination. The efficiency remains about the same as one carrier mobility is fixed at 10(-2) cm(2)/V s while the other one varies from 10(-1) to 10(-3) cm(2)/V s. For solar cell with a Schottky barrier between the semiconductor and the metal electrode there is no dark carrier recombination. The efficiency therefore always increases with the mobility.

Diamond films have been synthesized on the adamantane-coated Si (1 00) substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition from a gaseous mixture of methane and hydrogen gases with a growth rate of similar to 6.7 nm/min. The substrate temperature was similar to 475 degrees C during diamond deposition. The films obtained have good crystallinity that is characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectrometry. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis has confirmed that diamond nucleation and growth are on SiC rather than clean Si. The possible mechanism of high rate growth diamond films has been demonstrated. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

負責台灣全體國民體育事項的體委會官員們，有關心到民眾最切身的需求嗎？還是還在計畫著所謂面子工程的膚淺政績？每四年喊一次的「今年是足球年」，台灣依然像個足球沙漠；棒球號稱台灣國球，學校公園卻禁止從事棒球活動；運動發展似乎不能依靠政府。

有人說，音樂能平息野獸，但在影片中，這句話卻像極了廣告詞，充滿了嘲諷和質疑。這首革命曲，少了一些高雅精緻、卻多了幾分粗糙與真實，甚至淒美得讓人熱淚盈眶。細細品味電影《小提琴革命曲》的音樂手痕，和每個人物不同的考量心態，或許更能體會屬於革命時代的藝術境界。
