Calix[4]arene diastereomeric pairs with combined axial chirality and inherent chirality were readily synthesized via monoalkylation of 1,2-substituted calix[4]arene crown-4 incorporating an axially chiral binaphthyl moiety with different electrophiles as a key step. The reaction showed high generality and distinct diastereoselectivity. The easy separation of the diaster-eomers, the good diastereoselectivity of the reaction, and the poor stereoselectivity of the chiral recognition of diastereomeric pairs were attributed to the remarkable steric effect of the axially chiral binaphthyl moiety. Absolute configurations were determined by X-ray crystallography.

As China is receiving an economic boom, PM (particulate matter) pollutions not only have become a serious regional problem but also frequently impacted its neighboring counties, e.g., Korea and Japan. In addition to its adverse effects on human health, the on-and off-road engines operated in ambient can also be affected. In this study, a simple system for generating simulated ambient bimodal PMs comprising fine (PM2.5), coarse (PM2.5-10) particles was developed for evaluating the initial efficiency of seven respirator and four engine intake filters. In addition to the size fractional efficiency curves for each filter media determined from the SMPS (scanning mobility particle sizer) and APS (aerodynamic particle sizer), both number and mass based efficiency of these filters for PM2.5, PM2.5-10 and PM10 were also obtained to evaluate their performances against ambient PM pollutions. Data showed that the engine intake filters had a low efficiency for both mass and number based PM2.5, which was only about 25-30%. However, there was a large difference between their number and mass based PM10 efficiency. The former was much lower than the latter because these filters are with high efficiency only for coarse particles. Besides, the most of particles in number was resided in the fine size range while the mass was in coarse size range. For the respirator filtration tests, results showed that most of them can effectively remove both PM2.5 and PM10, in which the mass efficiency was always higher than that of number. The PM2.5 number efficiency results showed there are three out of seven respirator filters are with N-95 rated level, in which the efficiency of their most penetrating particle size is higher than 95%. The current simple experimental system could be applied to examine different purpose filters which protect human health and outdoor engines against ambient PM2.5 and PM10.

A post-baking method with an optimized data pattern is developed to eliminate the program/erase (PE) cycle-induced damage of sub-20 nm NAND Flash memory and to improve its reliability. The electric field of the tunneling oxide (E-ox)-dependent oxide recovery is discussed in detail. The experimental results reveal that additional traps in the tunneling oxide are induced by the E-ox during the baking process via an electron-phonon interaction and the effectiveness of oxide recovery is reduced by the generation of these additional traps. Hence, the additional traps degrade the read margin and retention ability. Therefore, an optimized data pattern is produced to minimize E-ox and reduce the number of additional traps formed during the post-baking process. When the optimized data pattern is utilized in post-baking, the endurance of the sub-20 nm three-level-per-cell (TLC) NAND Flash memory is quadruple improved under one year retention condition.

Complex organics contained in dye wastewater are difficult to degrade and often require electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) to treat it Surface activation of the electrode used in such treatment is an important factor determining the success of the process. The performance of boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond (BD-NCD) film electrode for decolorization of Acid Yellow (AY-36) azo dye with respect to the surface activation by electrochemical polarization was studied. Anodic polarization found to be more suitable as electrode pretreatment compared to cathodic one. After anodic polarization, the originally H-terminated surface of BD-NCD was changed into 0-terminated, making it more hydrophilic. Due to the oxidation of surface functional groups and some portion of sp2 carbon in the BD-NCD film during anodic polarization, the electrode was successfully being activated showing lower background current, wider potential window and considerably less surface activity compared to the non-polailzed one. Consequently, electrooxidation (E0) capability of the anodically-polarized BD-NCD to degrade AY-36 dye was significantly enhanced, capable of nearly total decolorization and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal even after several times of re-using. The BD-NCD film electrode favored acidic condition for the dye degradation; and the presence of chloride ion in the solution was found to be more advantageous than sulfate active species.

This work presents a novel data programming method for sub-20 nm triple level per cell (TLC) NAND Flash memory. The proposed method improves data retention ability and reduces the data failure rate of Embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) during the high temperature reflow of surface mount technology (SMT). More than owing to the high temperature stress, the failure is closely related to the data pattern of the adjacent cell array. The proposed data programming method generates an optimized dummy data pattern based on the data of the last data word line (WL) and, then, programs the optimized dummy data pattern to the word line next to the data edge one to suppress the abrupt electrical potential energy drops caused by the erase data. The graded electrical potential energy can thus reduce the electric field and electron tunneling probability. Furthermore, the row bit error rate (RBER) with the high temperature stress of the last data word line can be reduced 85% by using the novel data programming method. This work also attempts to identify the root cause of the temperature and adjacent data pattern dependent retention by measuring and performing statistical analysis of a sub-20 nm TLC NAND Flash memory chip. 3D numerical simulation with comprehensive quantum tunneling models is also conducted to facilitate the theoretical analysis. Statistical and numerical analysis results indicate that a severe threshold voltage (Vth) shift of the memory cell occurs when the adjacent floating gate (FG) has both high and low Vth states. Above results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed data programming method in generating the optimized dummy data pattern.

The solution p-type doping of various conjugated polymers and small molecules via blending with tetrafluorotetracyano-quinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) is investigated to facilitate hole transport for hybrid organic-silicon-nanowire solar cells. Among all, the highly-fluorescent conjugated polymers such as poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) demonstrate superior transport characteristics, where both the device fill-factor and power conversion efficiency (PCE) are positively correlated with the doping concentration. The best PCE achieves 13.66% from the device with 30% p-doped PFO, compared to the reference at 12.50%. The enhancement is ascribed to the efficient interfacial charge-carrier recombination with minimal energy losses. A vertically graded doping profile is further revealed with F4-TCNQ molecules preferentially accumulated near the silicon surface. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Optimal Distributed Codes for Feedback-Aided Cooperative Relay Networks

A novel transmission scheme for cooperative relay networks is presented in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on the non-orthogonal selection decode-and-forward protocol with an additional assumption of having a low rate feedback channel from the destination to relays. Benefited from the feedback information, an optimal distributed code that has an extremely short delay equal to four is constructed, and the same code is applicable to networks with the arbitrary number of relays to yield optimal cooperative diversity. The proposed code is sphere decodable with a decoding complexity again independent of the number of relays in high SNR regime. In particular, when operating at multiplexing gain >=(1/2), the lattice decoder at the destination has a zero complexity exponent, meaning a constant decoding complexity and independent of transmission rate. Analyses for the decoding complexity of other existing diversity-optimal distributed codes are also provided. It is shown that these codes have a linear growth in delay and an exponential growth in decoding complexity as the number of relays increases.

In this study, an Au-free AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) with Ti/Al/W ohmic and WNx Schottky metal structures is fabricated and characterized. The device exhibits smooth surface morphology after metallization and shows excellent direct-current (DC) characteristics. The device also demonstrates better performance than the conventional HEMTs under high voltage stress. Furthermore, the Au-free AlGaN/GaN HEMT shows stable device performance after annealing at 400A degrees C. Thus, the Ti/Al/W ohmic and WN (X) Schottky metals can be applied in the manufacturing of GaN HEMT to replace the Au based contacts to reduce the manufacturing costs of the GaN HEMT devices with comparable device performance.

This letter evaluates and analyzes the impacts of random variations on cell stability and write-ability of low-voltage SRAMs using monolayer and bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) devices based on ITRS 2028 (5.9 nm) node with the aid of atomistic TCAD mixed-mode simulations. Our study indicates that, for 6T SRAM, the monolayer/bilayer TMD devices may fail to provide the 6 sigma yield requirement for read static noise margin (RSNM) due to severe metal-gate work function variation in spite of their excellent electrostatics, and hence circuit techniques, such as bootstrapped dynamic power rails or the standard 8T cell, are needed. Besides, R-SD as a major concern of TMDs should be less of an issue for near-/sub-threshold SRAMs for ultra low-power applications. For the standard 8T cell structure, the RSNMs of both monolayer and bilayer 8T SRAMs improve significantly, and the bilayer 8T SRAM exhibits better write static noise margin (WSNM). In addition, write-assist techniques (including negative bit-line, boosted word-line, and lower cell supply) for improving WSNM are examined and shown to be more effective for monolayer 8T SRAMs than the bilayer counterparts.
Simple sequence repeat variations expedite phage divergence: Mechanisms of indels and gene mutations

Phages are the most abundant biological entities and influence prokaryotic communities on Earth. Comparing closely related genomes sheds light on molecular events shaping phage evolution. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) variations impart over half of the genomic changes between T7M and T3, indicating an important role of SSRs in accelerating phage genetic divergence. Differences in coding and noncoding regions of phages infecting different hosts, coliphages T7M and T3, Yersinia phage phi YeO3-12, and Salmonella phage phi SG-JL2, frequently arise from SSR variations. Such variations modify noncoding and coding regions; the latter efficiently changes multiple amino acids, thereby hastening protein evolution. Four classes of events are found to drive SSR variations: insertion/deletion of SSR units, expansion/contraction of SSRs without alteration of genome length, changes of repeat motifs, and generation/loss of repeats. The categorization demonstrates the ways SSRs mutate in genomes during phage evolution. Indels are common constituents of genome variations and human diseases, yet, how they occur without preexisting repeat sequence is less understood. Non-repeat-unit-based misalignment-elongation (NRUBME) is proposed to be one mechanism for indels without adjacent repeats. NRUBME or consecutive NRUBME may also change repeat motifs or generate new repeats. NRUBME invoking a non-Watson-Crick base pair explains insertions that initiate mononucleotide repeats. Furthermore, NRUBME successfully interprets many inexplicable human di- to tetranucleotide repeat generations. This study provides the first evidence of SSR variations expediting phage divergence, and enables insights into the events and mechanisms of genome evolution. NRUBME allows us to emulate natural evolution to design indels for various applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This brief presents a compact subthreshold model for short-channel monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) field-effect transistors. In this model, the impact of fringe fields from the high-K gate dielectric is considered and incorporated into a new characteristic-length expression using a single model parameter. This model has been verified with 2-D numerical simulations for TMD devices with gate length down to 5.9 nm based on ITRS 2028 low-power technology node.

In this paper, we used the horn-like polycrystalline-silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (poly-Si NW FET) biosensors to detect ferritin. It employs the trapezoidal-shape dummy gate structure fabricated at the spacer wire process to form the shape of horn-like nanowires. The horn-like poly-Si NW FET using a channel length of 2 mu m exhibited better electrical characteristics, such as a smaller threshold voltage of 1.1 V and a higher I-on/I-off of 3.47 x 10(5), compared to other channel lengths. In addition, the horn-like poly-Si NW FET sensor exhibited a high sensitivity of 133.47 mV/pH exceeding the Nernst limit. This result is attributed to the higher capacitive-coupling ratio (top-gate capacitance to bottom-gate capacitance). Moreover, we used a horn-like poly-Si NW FET biosensor to detect the ferritin in buffer solution due to its label-free, real-time, and high-sensitive. We modified 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on the SiO2/Si3N4/SiO2 stacked surface followed by glutaraldehyde functionalized, and the ferritin antibodies were immobilized on the aldehyde terminal. While the serum ferritin antigen was prepared in the buffer, the results indicated that the sensor could detect serum ferritin below 50 pg/mL in a micro-fluidic channel. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
