As 2013 is coming to an end... it makes me sad yet happy to look forward to a new year of promise in 2014. We have had a very full year with some personal and business goals. You have also been noticing that we took on a big remodel job in our home. One room is the studio for Doohikey Designs, a laundry room and arched hallway. We then placed and entertainment center into our family room, and we extended to get rid of our red wall to an aqua blue and gray scheme. It's been quite the undertaking and I can't wait to get it finished in 2014. We have set our priority list and I'm hoping to be posting pictures of the before and after's. Let me show you some highlights from my Instagram.
Here is the lower entertainment center painted with the hardware installed.
Here is the faux wainscoating in the sitting room.
Here are the uppers installed, waiting to be primed and painted.
Here is the new floor in the studio. I am loving seeing it all come together! Here are some highlights from my gift giving this holiday season.
Made a bed pillow for my nephew out of Riley Blake Designs Shaded Chevron and Small Polka Dot.
Did a christmas swap with some IG friends, and I got to send this lovely to Sylvia, aka Creativity Chick. She's and amazing lady and I got to surprise her with this needlebook. And she got to send me these beauties!
I love my new tablerunner, Koala ornament and the cutest skate ornament. LOVE IT! The biggest accomplishment in 2013 is my weightloss journey and I plan on continuing that in 2014.
So as we journey into 2014, what type of goals are you making? Will you choose a word or phrase to remind you of those goals? To help me I have downloaded Do What You Love's New Year's resolution starter kit to get me started in the right direction, maybe you can join in on the fun!

well while Pascal and E'eva are sitting in Kerikeri inlet waiting for the weather to sort it self out , I'm sitting at home trying not to feel too impatient about the lack of something southerly...
I spoke to the skipper today and he is eating sausages from Kerikeri butchery for tea and hoping to go back to Paihia sometime soon.
The fishing rod is sitting on my berth gathering dust but all is not lost, i have read a couple of blogs this week from people who left last week and wish they hadn't it is not as nice out there as it could be..
well it coffee time now night night....
Today's pic is of one of the three dolphins we saw while leaving a nice bay on Roberton island last week
08/05/2010, bay of Islands NZ
I went to Whangarei to meet up with my friend Pascal, the plan was to set sail for fiji on his Ovni 28. this is the week that was.
2/5/10 Sunday
Met Pascal at dockyard 5 in Whangarei, E'eva was in the slings ready to go back in the water, we made sailing plans and the did a bit of shopping for the island kids, frizbies, stickers, hats and hair-ties
Then we went out for dinner.
3/5/10 Monday.
Took E'eva to Ray Roberts marine to have the vibration on the shaft looked out. the new bearing at the prop end of the shaft was exaggerating the wobble in the flange from gearbox to shaft. hey took both halves off and re-spun them,
4/5/10 Tuesday.
The boys from Ray Roberts reassembled the shaft and we went to the supermarket, a big trolley of goodies and then at 3:30 we set sail for Paihia.
At night fall we were off bream head, Pascal took first watch and i got a little sleep. about 10pm i got up just as Pascal said what is that, pointing to a very bright white light and an equally bright red light. he said that the boat had been coming towards up for about 20 minutes and hadn't changed coarse.
It still didn't seem like was going to so we started the engine and turned out towards it, it went steaming past out port-side with lots of yelling from who ever was on board, it seems they have finally seen us. just as well someone was watching or it might have been the shortest trip on record.
The rest of my watch was lovely and peaceful.
5/5/10 Wednesday
I did a 2 - 5am watch and only saw one ship, it saw us from miles away and gave us a lovely wide berth. it may have been one of Fullers overnite Cats.
The night was perfect with a steady breeze, stars and half a moon keeping me company, a big coat, leggings, woolie hat and gloves kept me toastie warm as i watched the sea slide by.
Pascal woke about 5 just as the wind dropped and i went to bed. we were about 3 miles from Cape Brett then.
as the morning progressed the wind died away even further and we ended up motoring the last couple of miles into Paihia
we tied up in Paihia at about 1130am, we pulled up along side and the was quite a bit of pressure against the ropes. Pascal made contact with the Marina office to let them know we were there, the guy says "oh yes i can see you tied to the dock with your sail still up, just proves we didn't get enough sleep.
we spent a little time on shore doing the washing and having a shower, then anchored off Paihia and used the free internet to check the whether, still no southerlies. :-( Had lunch then a snooze and then dinner, i think we should do more than sleep between meals.
6/5/10 Thurday.
Up at 7:30am, a slow start checked the emails and then Banana rice for breakfast. After a bit of a tidy up we set sail for Black rocks but the wind picked up from the east and we weren't going to make it in one run so we had a re-think and set sail for Roberton island, and a lovely bay to anchor in over nite.
We caught a Kahawai one the way across the bay so that was lunch in a sandwich.
We spent the afternoon fishing and just cruising, 3 snapper and an unidentifiable fish that got away, 2 of the snapper were put back and one went in the pan for dinner.
We had 3 people fro a neighboring boat over for drinks then after a quick fight with a stingray that had picked up our snapper bait it was bed time.
7/5/10 Friday.
Out of bed before Pascal so i could have a turn of the new soft-bait rod, lots of action and damage to the baits but no fish, so it was left over couscous with banana for breakfast then a we had another fight with another stingray, they like Kahawai heads, it took the line under the boat and across the new antifloul which didn't impress Pascal at all. he put up a gallant fight before shreading the line and stealing our hook.
After breakkie we sailed for Kerikeri, just a perfect day, a nice easterly took us right up the river to within about 500 meters of the stone store.
We walked up to town and used the internet at the library to check the whether, it showed northerlies and nothing else for the whole of the next week, i decided to head home and do some work while it sorts itself out
hopefully the next entry will be from Fiji....
We got steak and mussels from the supermarket for a final feast, smoked mussels for entree and steak eggs and tomatoes for a main, then bed time.
8/5/10 Saturday,
A quick walk to town, then a bus to Whangarei to collect the van then back to the sunny South Waikato.

On March 31, 2013, Christopher Wylie, PhD, retired as Director of our Division. His role in expanding the Division from 11 faculty members in 2000, when he first joined Cincinnati Children's, to 22 primary faculty and 22 secondary appointments is an outstanding accomplishment. Combined, this is now one of the largest groupings of developmental biologists in the world. Wylie understood the value of establishing a major center for model organism developmental biology at world-class children's hospital, staffed with clinicians diagnosing and treating childhood diseases. Indeed, our Division has established close ties with as a many as 17 clinical divisions at the hospital. These interactions will provide better diagnoses, treatments and ultimately cures for childhood disorders. Thus in his 13 years here, Wylie has built a remarkable developmental biology research enterprise and positioned it well to play a major role in changing the outcome for children locally, nationally and internationally.
Following Dr. Wylie's retirement, we were able to recruit a world-renowned developmental biologist, Raphael Kopan, PhD, to take over division leadership starting in August 2013. Kopan had been the Wolff Distinguished Professor of Developmental Biology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His research focuses on the role of Notch signaling in development and disease. His strong international reputation in developmental biology will help to maintain the visibility of our division both on a national and international level, which is essential for continued growth and success of the division. Moreover, Kopan's collaborative instincts will dovetail nicely with the traditions at Cincinnati Children's as he plans to move the division forward. By all the early accounts, the transition in leadership will be smooth and effective.
Our two-day retreat, held in Spring 2013, was the largest and most diverse to date. We had 175 participants, including clinicians, basic scientists and students, with 62 posters from 16 different divisions at Cincinnati Children's. This is roughly on par with regional meetings of the Society of Developmental Biology and reflects the impressive size and depth of the developmental biology community here.
The Graduate Program in Molecular and Developmental Biology is an interdepartmental program within the University of Cincinnati that offers the PhD degree. It has been based in the Department of Pediatrics for over 35 years. Drs. Timothy Weaver and Rashmi Hegde served as Directors of the Program with Associate Directors Drs. Jeffrey Whitsett - finance, Aaron Zorn - curriculum, Tim Le Cras - admissions, Edith Markoff – recruitment, Yi Zheng – faculty membership, and John Shannon– graduate studies.
There are 87 faculty members in the program. During the past year, there were 70 pre-doctoral students in the program, 8 of whom are pursuing MD/PhD degrees. Students and faculty continue to be productive as measured by their numbers of publications, presentations at meetings, honors and awards received. Grant support to faculty remains high.
During the past year, the University of Cincinnati continued to support the program by providing University Graduate Assistantships and funds appropriated from the Dean's office to support 6 first year students. The remaining students are supported through a variety of sources including Ryan Fellowships (2), NIH training grants (5), external grants to their advisors (50), CHRF Special Purpose Funds to their advisors (5) and funds from the Children's Hospital Research Foundation to the Graduate Program (5).
The MDB Program provides an excellent research educational experience for students and has an excellent record in the placement of its graduates in scientific careers.

Reports have been mounting all over the web that Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker will exchange wedding vows this weekend in Austin, Texas.
Professional tennis player Andy Roddick and his swimsuit model fiancee Brooklyn Decker will tie the knot this weekend, it has been reported. It is said that the pair will hold their nuptials in Austin, Texas. The exact wedding date and venue remain unknown though.
While neither Andy nor Brooklyn has officially addressed the wedding report, a source says both of them want their wedding to be a private affair by inviting only friends and family. "Not a big Hollywood crowd as they're not like that," reveals the source.
Andy Roddick, a former world's No. 1 tennis player, first met Brooklyn Decker, who works as a Sports Illustrated model, in 2007 when he had his agent contacting her after seeing her in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. In March 2008, he announced on his website that he and Brooklyn are engaged.

The season premiere of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood was the highest rated seasonal debut ever on the Oxygen network. Last night also marked the beginning of Oxygen's new on-air look and attitude: Live Out Loud.
Not only was the season premiere good for Oxygen, but it was great for Tori & Dean too. Home Sweet Hollywood opened up 30% from last year in viewership. It wasn't only the TV show that had better ratings, the website has been busy too. In the last week clicks on the Oxygen: Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood website have jumped up 855% from the week leading up to the season two debut.
We guess Tori timed her daughters birth perfectly!

Landvalues Increase Statewide, But Decline In Northwest Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The 2013 Iowa Land Value Survey says farmland values rose 5.1 percent from last year, setting another record.
The new survey shows farmland values rose to more than $8,700 an acre. It was the fourth year in a row that farmland values rose in the Iowa State University survey of nearly 500 real estate experts. Mike Duffy, an ag economist with Iowa State University and author of the research study comments on the latest survey.
Listen to
Last year's figure was nearly $8,300 an acre. However, Duffy, says northwest Iowa actually saw a decrease in land values.
Listen to
Duffy says there is still demand for good quality land.
Listen to
The ISU Ag Economist says it is primarily farmers that are purchasing land.
Listen to
Although northwest Iowa, as a region showed some decline in land values, Duffy says Plymouth County had an average land value of $11,366 which was slightly higher than last year.
Listen to
Land demand could slow because Iowa farmers are concerned about lower commodity prices and a proposed rollback in the mandate for corn-based ethanol. There's also uncertainty over interest rates and over the prospects for a new farm bill. Scott County located in east central Iowa had the highest value of land at $12,413 and Decatur County, located in southern Iowa had the lowest land value at $3,628.
A Christmas Carol To Be Presented At Postal Playhouse
(Le Mars) -- Most everyone is familiar with the novel by Charles Dickens of A Christmas Carol about the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge who is against Christmas, then is visited by three spirits and has a change of attitude about Christmas, becoming more generous. The Le Mars Public Library and the Le Mars Community Theater are teaming together to present "A Christmas Carol" this Saturday evening at the Le Mars Postal Playhouse. Sue Kroese is the librarian for the Le Mars Public Library. She says the play will feature the professional actor Duffy Hudson as he performs a one-man play of A Christmas Carol.
Listen to
Kroese says the collaboration between the library and the community theater started as a result of both being guests on a radio program.
Listen to

Governor, And Congressional Delegation Want EPA To Hold Ethanol Hearing In Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's governor and the state's entire congressional delegation are asking the Obama administration to hold a hearing in Iowa to discuss the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to reduce ethanol production in 2014.
Iowa is the nation's leading producer of ethanol, a fuel additive primarily made from corn that produces lower carbon emissions than gasoline. The EPA in November proposed cutting production to 2012 levels, prompting outcry by political leaders from both parties who claimed such a move would devastate Iowa's economy.
The EPA stated in its November report that the additive had become less necessary in light of fuel-efficient engines and lower fuel demand.
An Iowa State University economist says the economic impact elected officials claim is overstated.
The EPA is taking public comment for 60 days on its recommendation.
Florida Man Charged In Stealing Corn Traits For China
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Federal authorities in Iowa have charged a Florida man working for a Chinese company with conspiracy to steal patented corn seed trade secrets from two leading U.S. seed developers.
U.S. Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt announced Thursday that Mo Hailong, also known as Robert Mo, is in custody.
He is alleged to have taken corn from fields in Iowa and Illinois with five other men working for a subsidiary of Chinese-based DBN Group. Authorities are searching for the others.
Klinefeldt says the theft of a parent seed could cost a U.S. company many years of research time and up to $40 million.
The FBI began investigating when DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto reported suspicious activity in cornfields.
Healthcare Deal Has Been Reached Between Iowa And Federal Government
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad says he has reached a deal with federal authorities to expand low income health care.
Branstad announced Thursday that he had an agreement with officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Iowa sought a waiver enabling the state to receive more federal Medicaid money for the proposed Iowa Health and Wellness Plan.
State officials said they had reached a compromise on one sticking point in the negotiations. The state wanted to charge small monthly premiums to some plan participants.
Initially, federal authorities said the state could only charge those with incomes over 100 percent of the federal poverty line. But under the compromise, the state could charge those with lower incomes, but couldn't deny benefits for not paying.
Boone Judge Selected As Chief Judge For Appeals Court
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa Court of Appeals judge from Boone has been elected chief judge of the court.
David Danilson is the eighth chief judge since the Legislature established the appeals court in 1976. He replaces Chief Judge Larry Eisenhauer who recently retired.
Danilson has served on the court since 2009.
The chief judge supervises the business of the court, presides when present at a session of the court, and serves on the judicial council. Danilson will also continue to write opinions.
The Iowa Court of Appeals reviews appeals from trial court sent to it by the Iowa Supreme Court. Last year the appeals court issued 1,071 opinions.

Yep, Ducati really shot themselves in the foot for sure. I don't know how much "Audi money" is going to change things though. They still don't have much to test and are essentially riding "next seasons iteration of the GP" right now. Nicky didn't seem too enthused. Another long season for Ducati ahead!

Barrier and Long Term Creep Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites.
Date: December 2004
Creator: Ranade, Ajit
Description: The barrier properties and long term strength retention of polymers are of significant importance in a number of applications. Enhanced lifetime food packaging, substrates for OLED based flexible displays and long duration scientific balloons are among them. Higher material requirements in these applications drive the need for an accurate measurement system. Therefore, a new system was engineered with enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. Permeability of polymers is affected by permeant solubility and diffusion. One effort to decrease diffusion rates is via increasing the transport path length. We explore this through dispersion of layered silicates into polymers. Layered silicates with effective aspect ratio of 1000:1 have shown promise in improving the barrier and mechanical properties of polymers. The surface of these inorganic silicates was modified with surfactants to improve the interaction with organic polymers. The micro and nanoscale dispersion of the layered silicates was probed using optical and transmission microscopy as well as x-ray diffraction. Thermal transitions were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry. Mechanical and permeability measurements were correlated to the dispersion and increased density. The essential structure-property relationships were established by comparing semicrystalline and amorphous polymers. Semicrystalline polymers selected were nylon-6 and polyethylene terephthalate. The amorphous polymer was polyethylene terphthalate-glycol. Densification ...

Development of a Novel Grease Resistant Functional Coatings for Paper-based Packaging and Assessment of Application by Flexographic Press
Date: August 2004
Creator: Brown, Robert W.
Description: Recent commercial developments have created a need for alternative materials and methods for imparting oil/grease resistance to paper and/or paperboard used in packaging. The performance of a novel grease resistant functional coating comprised of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium tetraborate pentahydrate (borate) and acetonedicarboxylic acid (ACDA) and the application of said coating by means of flexographic press is presented herein. Application criteria is developed, testing procedures described, and performance assessment of the developed coating materials are made. SEM images along with contact angle data suggest that coating performance is probably attributable to decreased mean pore size in conjunction with a slightly increased surface contact angle facilitated by crosslinking of PVA molecules by both borate ions and ACDA.

Device Engineering for Enhanced Efficiency from Platinum(II) Phosphorescent OLEDs
Date: August 2010
Creator: Li, Minghang
Description: Phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) based on efficient electrophosphorescent dopant, platinum(II)-pyridyltriazolate complex, bis[3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolato]platinum(II) (Pt(ptp)2) have been studied and improved with respect to power efficiency, external efficiency, chromacity and efficiency roll-off. By studying the electrical and optical behavior of the doped devices and functionality of the various constituent layers, devices with a maximum EQE of 20.8±0.2 % and power efficiency of 45.1±0.9 lm/W (77lm/W with luminaries) have been engineered. This improvement compares to devices whose emission initially could only be detected by a photomultiplier tube in a darkened environment. These devices consisted of a 65 % bis[3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolato]platinum(II) (Pt(ptp)2) doped into 4,4'-bis(carbazol-9-yl)triphenylamine (CBP) an EML layer, a hole transporting layer/electron blocker of 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC), an electron transport layer of 1,3,5-tris(phenyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-benzene (TPBI), and a LiF/Al cathode. These devices show the acceptable range for warm white light quadrants and qualify to be called "warm white" even w/o adding another emissive layer. Dual EML devices composed of neat Pt(ptp)2 films emitting orange and CBP: Pt(ptp)2 film emitting blue-green produced a color rendering index (CRI) of 59 and color coordinates (CIE) of (0.47,0.49) at 1000Cd/m² with power efficiency of 12.6±0.2 lm/W and EQE of 10.8±0.2 %.

Effect of Retting on Surface Chemistry and Mechanical Performance Interactions in Natural Fibers for High Performance Polymer Composites
Date: May 2013
Creator: Ramesh, Dinesh
Description: Sustainability through replacement of non-renewable fibers with renewable fibers is an ecological need. Impact of transportation costs from South-east Asia on the life cycle analysis of the composite is detrimental. Kenaf is an easily grown crop in America. Farm based processing involves placing the harvested crop in rivers and ponds, where retting of the fibers from the plant (separation into fibers) can take 2 weeks or more. The objective of this thesis is to analyze industrially viable processes for generating fibers and examine their synergistic impact on mechanical performance, surface topography and chemistry for functional composites. Comparison has been made with commercial and conventional retting process, including alkali retting, enzymatic retting, retting in river and pond water (retting occurs by natural microbial population) with controlled microbial retting. The resulting kenaf fibers were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), polarized optical microscopy (POM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) optical fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and carbohydrate analysis. DMA results showed that pectinase and microbe treated fibers have superior viscoelastic properties compared to alkali retting. XPS, Raman, FT-IR and biochemical analysis indicated that the controlled microbial and pectinase retting was ...

Evaluation of hydrogen trapping in HfO2 high-κ dielectric thin films.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Ukirde, Vaishali
Description: Hafnium based high-κ dielectrics are considered potential candidates to replace SiO2 or SiON as the gate dielectric in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices. Hydrogen is one of the most significant elements in semiconductor technology because of its pervasiveness in various deposition and optimization processes of electronic structures. Therefore, it is important to understand the properties and behavior of hydrogen in semiconductors with the final aim of controlling and using hydrogen to improve electronic performance of electronic structures. Trap transformations under annealing treatments in hydrogen ambient normally involve passivation of traps at thermal SiO2/Si interfaces by hydrogen. High-κ dielectric films are believed to exhibit significantly higher charge trapping affinity than SiO2. In this thesis, study of hydrogen trapping in alternate gate dielectric candidates such as HfO2 during annealing in hydrogen ambient is presented. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) were used to characterize these thin dielectric materials. It was demonstrated that hydrogen trapping in bulk HfO2 is significantly reduced for pre-oxidized HfO2 prior to forming gas anneals. This strong dependence on oxygen pre-processing is believed to be due to oxygen vacancies/deficiencies and hydrogen-carbon impurity complexes that originate from organic precursors used in ...

Functionalization and characterization of porous low-κ dielectrics.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Orozco-Teran, Rosa Amelia
Description: The incorporation of fluorine into SiO2 has been shown to reduce the dielectric constant of the existing materials by reducing the electrical polarizability. However, the incorporation of fluorine has also been shown to decrease film stability. Therefore, new efforts have been made to find different ways to further decrease the relative dielectric constant value of the existing low-k materials. One way to reduce the dielectric constant is by decreasing its density. This reduces the amount of polarizable materials. A good approach is increasing porosity of the film. Recently, fluorinated silica xerogel films have been identified as potential candidates for applications such as interlayer dielectric materials in CMOS technology. In addition to their low dielectric constants, these films present properties such as low refractive indices, low thermal conductivities, and high surface areas. Another approach to lower k is incorporating lighter atoms such as hydrogen or carbon. Silsesquioxane based materials are among them. However, additional integration issues such as damage to these materials caused by plasma etch, plasma ash, and wet etch processes are yet to be overcome. This dissertation reports the effects of triethoxyfluorosilane-based (TEFS) xerogel films when reacted with silylation agents. TEFS films were employed because they form robust silica ...

Interspecimen Study of Bone to Relate Macromechanical, Nanomechanical and Compositional Changes Across the Femoral Cortex of Bone
Date: May 2013
Creator: Nar, Mangesh
Description: Mechanics of bone is widely studied and researched, mainly for the study of fracture. This has been done mostly on a macro scale. In this work hierarchical nature of bone has been explored to investigate bone mechanics in more detail. Flexural test were done to classify the bones according to their strength and deflection. Raman spectroscopy analysis was done to map the mineralization, collagen crosslinking changes across the thickness of the bone. Nanoindentation was done to map indentation hardness and indentation modulus across femoral cortex of the bone. The results indicate that the composition of the bone changes across the thickness of the femoral cortex. The hypothesis is confirmed as increase in mineralization, carbonate to phosphate ratio and collagen crosslinking shows the effect as increased indentation hardness and modulus and decreased deflection.

Structural, Thermal and Acoustic Performance of Polyurethane Foams for Green Buildings
Date: December 2014
Creator: Nar, Mangesh
Description: Decreasing the carbon footprint through use of renewable materials has environmental and societal impact. Foams are a valuable constituent in buildings by themselves or as a core in sandwich composites. Kenaf is a Southeast USA plant that provides renewable filler. The core of the kenaf is porous with a cell size in a 5-10 micrometer range. The use of kenaf core in foams represents a novel multiscalar cellular structural composite. Rigid polyurethane foams were made using free foaming expansion with kenaf core as filler with loadings of 5, 10 and 15 %. Free foaming was found to negatively affect the mechanical properties. An innovative process was developed to introduce a constraint to expansion during foaming. Two expansion ratios were examined: 40 and 60 % (decreasing expansion ratio). MicroCT and SEM analysis showed a varying structure of open and closed cell pores. The mechanical, thermal insulation, acoustic properties were measured. Pure PU foam showed improved cell size uniformity. Introducing kenaf core resulted in decreasing the PU performance in the free expansion case. This was reversed by introducing constraints. To understand the combined impact of having a mixed close cell and open cell architecture, finite element modeling was done using ANSYS. Models ...

Study of Conductance Quantization by Cross-Wire Junction
Date: May 2004
Creator: Zheng, Tao
Description: The thesis studied quantized conductance in nanocontacts formed between two thin gold wires with one of the wires coated by alkainthiol self assembly monolayers (SAM), by using the cross-wire junction. Using the Lorenz force as the driving force, we can bring the two wires in contact in a controlled manner. We observed conductance with steps of 2e2 / h. The conductance plateaus last several seconds. The stability of the junction is attributed to the fact that the coating of SAM improves the stability and capability of the formed contact.

Supercritical Silylation and Stability of Silyl Groups
Date: May 2006
Creator: Nerusu, Pawan Kumar
Description: Methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ) and organosilicate glass (OSG) are the materials under this study because they exhibit the dielectric constant values necessary for future IC technology requirements. Obtaining a low-k dielectric value is critical for the IC industry in order to cope time delay and cross talking issues. These materials exhibit attractive dielectric value, but there are problems replacing conventional SiO2, because of their chemical, mechanical and electrical instability after plasma processing. Several techniques have been suggested to mitigate process damage but supercritical silylation offers a rapid single repair step solution to this problem. Different ash and etch damaged samples were employed in this study to optimize an effective method to repair the low-k dielectric material and seal the surface pores via supercritical fluid processing with various trialkylchlorosilanes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), contact angle, capacitance- voltage measurements, and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy (DSIMS), characterized the films. The hydrophobicity and dielectric constant after exposure to elevated temperatures and ambient conditions were monitored and shown to be stable. The samples were treated with a series of silylating agents of the form R3-Si-Cl where R is an alkyl groups (e.g. ethyl, propyl, isopropyl). Reactivity with the surface hydroxyls was inversely ...

Paris Hilton And Boyfriend Take Spain Fashion Show…Quietly
January 30, 2013 05:00 PM by Megan Wilson
Paris Hilton has been surprising us lately. In the past few years, she's remained uncharacteristically quiet about not only her public life, but her love life as well. The World According to Paris star hasn't been seen much lately. Could it be that she's finally settling down?
After Paris got in hot water over some controversial remarks she made toward the gay community. After releasing an official apology, Paris pretty much disappeared from the limelight, a la Nicole Richie. While her other gal pal LiLo is still running wild, Paris and her newest boyfriend, River Viiperi have been spending plenty of quality time together – most recently in Spain.
River is an extremely popular model – so popular, that his name ranks in the list of the 50 highest paid models. River and Paris jetted to Spain for River to walk the runway in the 080 Barcelona Fashion show for Mango clothing line. River arrived to the fashion show sans Paris-and the heiress didn't show until the fashion show was just starting-reportedly to miss being photographed. Her boyfriend took center stage for the Mango clothing line. She slipped into a seat right next to the son of the president of the clothing line.
River is no stranger to the flash of cameras. He's worked for clothing lines such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and H&M, and has been snapped by Mario Testino for the most elite fashion magazines.
It's refreshing to see Paris take a step back from the limelight and her crazy antics. Is she finally going to settle down? Do you think they're going to get married? Let us know in the comments!

Suppose there are two strings:
$1 off delicious ham.
$1 off delicious $5 ham.
In Python, can I have a regex that matches when there is only one $ in the string? I.e., I want the RE to match on the first phrase, but not on the second. I tried something like:
re.search(r"\$[0-9]+.*!(\$)","$1 off delicious $5 ham.")
..saying "Match where you see a $ followed by anything EXCEPT for another $." There was no match on the $$ example, but there was also no match on the $ example.
Thanks in advance!
Simple test method for checking:
def test(r):
s = ("$1 off $5 delicious ham","$1 off any delicious ham")
for x in s:
print x
print re.search(r,x,re.I)

When your girl is jazzed to be hiking with you but not so psyched on the treeless peak terrain (that wind is so cold), she'll be glad to have The North Face Altimont for the final summit push. This lightweight nylon ripstop shell is treated with a DWR coating to provide protection from light water and wind. Elastic side hems keep the Altimont in place and, when the wind dies down, she can stow the entire jacket into one of the hand pockets.

The jacket is super lightweight and easily packable. However, I was very disappointed in backcountry as I'm pretty sure it was used. It reeked of cigarettes and had no tags. Too much hassle to return, so after multiple washings at least it doesn't smell anymore. The jacket itself is great though.
It was used? So they usually do that? It's my first time using this website. I'd like to know if an item I'm buying is used it not.
Nice lightweight windshell!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It is actually really hard to find a nice lightweight shell for kids, this jacket fits the bill. A wind shell is an important part of my backcountry gear list. My daughters have taken this item on several backpacking trips so far. We have not used this shell in light rain but has a windblock it is very effective.
I read the description on this jacket and felt it would sufficient for the job as my daughter was in need of a new raincoat that would be versatile and would work for her upcoming camping trip.
Not the case when the jacket arrived. It is really a windbreaker, I can't see it witholding any type of rain, the pocket feature is cool but not neccessary nor needed. We went with the resolve instead which is more of a raincoat and has warmth to it, this jacket had no warmth factor at all.
I returned and re-ordered, unfortunately didn't know it would cost be $6.99:(
More wind protection than rain?
More wind protection than rain?
Correct. This jackets is designed to protect against winds more than anything but the DWR coating will shed light rains should you get caught off guard.
Is this jacket available in XL or XXL?...
Is this jacket available in XL or XXL? Also, does size vary on whether it's for a boy or girl? Because I would like this jacket, and honestly to me it doesn't seem like only for girls. But before I do get an XL or XXL I'm hoping the size sizes won't be different for girls, such as an XL for them could turn out to be a medium for men?
Unfortunately Walter, this jacket is not available in an XL or XXL. This jacket is sized for children, so if you were buying it for a young boy who would wear an XL or XXL, that might work--if we had those in stock.
We have plenty of men's rain jackets in those sizes, all at very good prices. Check out the Columbia Watertight!
