Formation of very low resistance contact for silicon photovoltaic cells
A number of approaches have been developed in order to introduce a nickel-based contact layer between the silver electrode and n+ emitter layer, which can substantially reduce the specific contact…

Optical studies on homoepitaxial AlN
We investigated such layers by low-temperature photoluminescence (PL), reflectance, and ellipsometry.

Fyn Promotes Th17 Differentiation by Regulating the Kinetics of RORγt and Foxp3 Expression
In this study, we show evidence that the Src family tyrosine kinase Fyn helps regulate this Th17/TREG balance.

Anterograde Episodic Memory in Korsakoff Syndrome
In this review we highlight the historical studies that examined anterograde episodic memory processes in KS, present a timeline and evidence supporting the myriad theories proffered to account for this…

The Stereoselective Sulfate Conjugation of 4′-Methoxyfenoterol Stereoisomers by Sulfotransferase Enzymes
The presystemic sulfate conjugation of the stereoisomers of 4′-methoxyfenoterol, (R,R′)-MF, (S,S′)-MF, (R,S′)-MF, and (S,R′)-MF, was investigated using commercially available human intestinal S9 fractions, a mixture of sulfotransferase (SULT) enzymes.

Effects of audio and ASR quality on cepstral and high-level speaker verification systems
We evaluate the effect that improved audio quality has for speaker verification performance, using a recently released full-bandwidth version of microphone data from the SRE2010 evaluation.

Adaptive and Discriminative Modeling for Improved Mispronunciation Detection
In this work, we extend our approach with the use of model adaptation and discriminative modeling techniques, inspired on methods that have been effective in the area of speaker identification.
