Nanoscale research letters

Chen HR, Chen YC, Chang TC, Chang KC, Tsai TM, Chu TJ, Shih CC, Chuang NC, Wang KY.
PMID: 27251325
Nanoscale Res Lett. 2016 Dec;11(1):275. doi: 10.1186/s11671-016-1480-z. Epub 2016 Jun 01.

In this letter, we propose a novel low-temperature nitridation technology on a tantalum nitride (TaN) thin film resistor (TFR) through supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) treatment for temperature sensor applications. We also found that the sensitivity of temperature of the...

Visualizing band offsets and edge states in bilayer-monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides lateral heterojunction.

Nature communications

Zhang C, Chen Y, Huang JK, Wu X, Li LJ, Yao W, Tersoff J, Shih CK.
PMID: 26778119
Nat Commun. 2016 Jan 18;6:10349. doi: 10.1038/ncomms10349.

Semiconductor heterostructures are fundamental building blocks for many important device applications. The emergence of two-dimensional semiconductors opens up a new realm for creating heterostructures. As the bandgaps of transition metal dichalcogenides thin films have sensitive layer dependence, it is...

Evolution of Phototrophy in the Chloroflexi Phylum Driven by Horizontal Gene Transfer.

Frontiers in microbiology

Ward LM, Hemp J, Shih PM, McGlynn SE, Fischer WW.
PMID: 29515543
Front Microbiol. 2018 Feb 19;9:260. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00260. eCollection 2018.

The evolutionary mechanisms behind the extant distribution of photosynthesis is a point of substantial contention. Hypotheses range from the presence of phototrophy in the last universal common ancestor and massive gene loss in most lineages, to a later origin...

The AMBITIOUS Study Design and Rationale: Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Taiwanese Occupational Healthcare Staff.

Acta Cardiologica Sinica

Yang LT, Chen PW, Lin TH, Chiang KH, Shih CM, Hsieh MC, Tseng WK, Yeh HI, Liu PY.
PMID: 27122835
Acta Cardiol Sin. 2014 Nov;30(6):565-9. doi: 10.6515/acs20131004a.

BACKGROUND: Sudden death is a rare but real threat to hospital-based physicians and surgeons. The association between sudden death and blood pressure (BP) fluctuations in healthcare providers has not been documented. We hypothesized that work-shift loading may lead to...

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Achalasia is classified into 3 types according to the Chicago classification. The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics and treatment outcomes of 3 achalasia subtypes in Korean patients.METHODS: Fifty-five patients diagnosed with achalasia based on conventional...

Capabilities of transition metals in retarding the bonding of carbon atoms to minimize dendritic graphene.

Nanoscale

Zhu Z, Zhan L, Wan W, Zhao Z, Shih TM, Cai W.
PMID: 28956047
Nanoscale. 2017 Oct 12;9(39):14804-14808. doi: 10.1039/c7nr05253g.

The avoidance of growing dendritic graphene on the copper substrate during the chemical vapor deposition process is greatly desired. Here we have identified a mechanism, in which (1) transition metal plates placed inside the copper pockets reduce the majority...

Graphene-Based Fluorescence-Quenching-Related Fermi Level Elevation and Electron-Concentration Surge.

Nano letters

Lin W, Tian B, Zhuang P, Yin J, Zhang C, Li Q, Shih TM, Cai W.
PMID: 27513317
Nano Lett. 2016 Sep 14;16(9):5737-41. doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.6b02430. Epub 2016 Aug 15.

Intermolecular p-orbital overlaps in unsaturated π-conjugated systems, such as graphene and fluorescent molecules with aromatic structure, serve as the electron-exchanged path. Using Raman-mapping measurements, we observe that the fluorescence intensity of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is quenched by graphene, whereas...

Thermal electron-tunneling devices as coolers and amplifiers.

Scientific reports

Su S, Zhang Y, Chen J, Shih TM.
PMID: 26893109
Sci Rep. 2016 Feb 19;6:21425. doi: 10.1038/srep21425.

Nanoscale thermal systems that are associated with a pair of electron reservoirs have been previously studied. In particular, devices that adjust electron tunnels relatively to reservoirs' chemical potentials enjoy the novelty and the potential. Since only two reservoirs and...

Electroacupuncture inhibits pruritogen-induced spinal microglial activation in mice.

Brain research

Lin JG, Lee YC, Tseng CH, Chen DY, Shih CY, MacDonald I, Hung SY, Chen YH.
PMID: 27396909
Brain Res. 2016 Oct 15;1649:23-29. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2016.07.007. Epub 2016 Jul 08.

In this study, we examined whether electroacupuncture (EA) represses pruritogen-induced microglial activation. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of the pruritogen 5'-guanidinonaltrindole (GNTI; 0.3mg/kg) to the back of the neck in mice induced acute expression of the...
