Background & Aims: Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a recently introduced treatment
for hepatocellular carcinoma, whereas ethanol injection is now a standard therapy. We …

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was introduced recently as a therapeutic
modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), an alternative to percutaneous ethanol injection …

Background: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly dependent on
tumour extension and liver function. Recently, two new prognostic scoring systems—the CLIP …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, life-threatening, interstitial lung disease
of unknown etiology. For optimal therapeutic management of IPF an accurate tool is required …

Completely vertical trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs)
have been produced using gallium nitride (GaN) for the first time. These MOSFETs …

This letter demonstrates GaN vertical Schottky and pn diodes on Si substrates for the first
time. With a total GaN drift layer of only 1.5- $\mu{\rm m}$ thick, a breakdown voltage (BV) of …

In this paper, we present self-consistent electrothermal simulations of single-finger and
multifinger GaN vertical metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and lateral …

Selective photo-oxidation of benzene and cyclohexane were investigated by using TiO 2
pillared clays (mica, montmorillonite and saponite). The characterization results indicated that …

A new flavoprotein enzyme, l-glutamate oxidase, was purified to homogeneity from an
aqueous extract of a wheat bran culture of Streptomyces sp. Xl 19–6. It showed absorption …

This paper demonstrates the compensation of the intrinsic positive charges in Al2O3 gate
dielectric by fluorine ions in GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (…
