Proteus mirabilis isolates commonly have decreased susceptibility to imipenem. Previously, we found P. mirabilis hfq mutant was more resistant to imipenem and an outer membrane protein (OMP) could be involved. Therefore, we investigated the role of this OMP in carbapenem susceptibility. By SDS-PAGE we found this OMP (named ImpR) was increased in hfq mutant and LC-MS/MS revealed it to be the homologue of Salmonella YbfM, which is a porin for chitobiose and subject to MicM (a small RNA) regulation. We demonstrated that ImpR overexpression resulted in increased carbapenem MICs in the laboratory strain and clinical isolates. Chitobiose induced expression of chb (a chitobiose utilization operon). Real-time RT-PCR and SDS-PAGE were performed to elucidate the relationship of hfq, impR, chb and MicM in P. mirabilis. We found MicM RNA was decreased in hfq mutant and chbBC-intergenic region (chbBC-IGR) overexpression strain (chbIGRov), while impR mRNA was increased in hfq mutant, micM mutant and chbIGRov strain. In addition, mutation of hfq or micM and overexpression of chbBC-IGR increased ImpR protein level. Accordingly, chitobiose made wild-type have higher levels of ImpR protein and are more resistant to carbapenems. Hfq- and MicM-complemented strains restored wild-type MICs. Mutation of both impR and hfq eliminated the increase in carbapenem MICs observed in hfq mutant and ImpR-complementation of hfq/impR double mutant resulted in MICs as hfq mutant, indicating that the ImpR-dependent decreased carbapenem susceptibility of hfq mutant. These indicate MicM was antisense to impR mRNA and was negatively-regulated by chbBC-IGR. Together, overexpression of ImpR contributed to the decreased carbapenem susceptibility in P. mirabilis.

In this research, Si-based power splitters based on dual antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROW) with remote coupling by a separation distance of 30 mu m were designed and realized. Characterization of the power splitters with different lengths of the coupling region was performed. Measurement characteristics of fabricated devices with the propagation losses lower than 1.90 dB/cm and the imbalances lower than 0.60 dB show that our dual ARROW power splitters can be efficiently realized.

In this work, we use an experimentally calibrated 3D quantum mechanically corrected device simulation to study the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) on DC characteristics of 16-nm-gate trapezoidal bulk fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) devices. The fixed top-fin width, which is consistent with the realistic process by lithography, of trapezoidal bulk FinFET devices is considered in this study. For RDF on trapezoidal bulk FinFETs under the fixed top-fin width, we explore the impact of geometry and RDF on the on-/off-state current and the threshold voltage (V-th) fluctuation with respect to different channel fin angles. For the same channel doping concentration, compared with an ideal FinFET (i.e., device with a right angle of channel fin), the off-state current is large in trapezoidal bulk FinFETs with a small fin angle. Furthermore, the short-channel effect and V-th variation degrade as the fin angle is getting smaller. The magnitude of the normalized sigma V-th increases 7% when the fin angle decreases from 90 degrees to 70 degrees.

We report a time-resolved (e, 2e) experiment on the deuterated acetone molecule in the S-2 Rydberg state with a lifetime of 13.5 ps. The acetone S-2 state was prepared by a 195 nm pump laser and probed with electron momentum spectroscopy using a 1.2 keV incident electron beam of 1 ps temporal width. In spite of the low data statistics as well as of the limited time resolution (+/- 35 ps) due to velocity mismatch, the experimental results clearly demonstrate that electron momentum spectroscopy measurements of short-lived transient species are feasible, opening the door to time-resolved orbital imaging in momentum space.

Solid-state white light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) have attracted research attention owing to their advantages of simple device structure, low operation voltage and compatibility with solution processes. In this work, we demonstrate a simple approach to obtain white electroluminescence (EL) from non-doped LECs based on a blue-emitting complex. With a relatively thicker emissive layer, red emission can be additionally enhanced by the microcavity effect when the recombination zone moves to appropriate positions. Hence, white EL can be harvested by combining blue emission from the complex and red emission from the microcavity effect. These non-doped white LECs show external quantum efficiencies and power efficiencies up to 5% and 12 lm W-1, respectively. These results show that efficient white EL can be obtained in simple non-doped LECs.

In view of limited natural resources on Earth, linkage among environment, energy, and economy (3Es) becomes important perspectives for sustainable development. This paper proposes to use Lotka-Volterra, model for SUstainable Development (LV-SUD) to analyse the interspecific interactions, equilibria and their stabilities among emissions, different types of energy consumption (renewable, nuclear, and fossil fuel), and real GDP, the main factors of 3Es issues. Modelling these interactions provides a useful multivariate framework for prediction outcomes. Interaction between 3Es, namely competition, symbiosis, or predation, plays an important role in policy development to achieve a balanced use of energy resources and to strengthen the green economy. Applying LV-SUD in Mexico, an emerging markets country, analysing results show that there is a mutualism between fossil fuel consumption and GDP; prey-predator relationships that fossil fuel and GDP enhance the growth of emissions, but emissions inhibit the growth of the others; and commensalisms that GDP benefits from nuclear power, and renewable power benefits from fossil fuel. It is suggested that national energy policies should remain committed to decoupling the relevance between non-clean energy and GDP, to actively developing clean energy and thereby to properly reducing fossil fuel consumption and emissions without harming economic growth.

In this study we examined the effects of the nanoindentation-induced residual stress of single-crystalline zinc selenide (ZnSe). We employed the nanoindentation technique to evaluate the dislocation mobility of ZnSe at loading ratios of 10 and 2 mN/min, with a holding time of 120 s under a constant load. We visualized the resultant dislocation and microcracks using cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and mapping to compare the nanoindentation-induced residual stresses of the various ZnSe samples. CL mapping revealed massive dislocation activities during the loading process. The dislocations played roles as nonradiative recombination centers that quenched the local CL intensity. Transmission electron microscopy also revealed the effects of nanoindentation-induced residual stress. To obtain insight into the influence of the residual stress and to determine the dislocation mobilities for ZnSe films, it was essential to monitor the quenching effect of nonradiative recombination centers as a function of CL mapping.
