Biotin-NeutrAvidin Mediated Immobilization of Polymer Micro- and Nanoparticles on T Lymphocytes

Harm-Anton Klok, Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Maxime Ayer

Cells are powerful carriers that can help to improve the delivery of nanomedicines. One approach to use cells as carriers is to immobilize the nanoparticulate cargo on the cell surface. While a plethora of chemical conjugation strategies are available to b ...

Slow CH3NH3+ Diffusion in CH3NH3PbI3 under Light Measured by Solid-State NMR and Tracer Diffusion

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

We investigate methylammonium (MA) transport in MA lead iodide under illumination and show this, as in the dark, to be measurable but negligible when compared with the major carriers. H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra show constant line ...

Excitonic Diffusion in InGaN/GaN Core–Shell Nanowires

Hua Zhang, Jean-Daniel Ganière, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Mehran Shahmohammadi

We report on the direct observation of the diffusion of carriers in graded InGaN/GaN quantum wells in a nanowire. By probing the local dynamics at the nanoscale, along the wire for different temperatures between 4 and 250 K, we conclude that this diffusion ...

An analysis of destination choice for opaque airline products using multidimensional binary logit models

Michel Bierlaire, Alexandre Khelifa

We investigate how customers respond to an opaque airline product offered by a European carrier. In this opaque product design, customers are randomly assigned to travel to one of approximately ten destinations; however, for a fee they may exclude one or m ...

Prediction of Multipactor Breakdown for Multicarrier Applications: The Quasi-Stationary Method

Michael Mattes

A new prediction algorithm for multipactor breakdown determination in multicarrier signals is presented. This new algorithm assumes a quasi-stationary (QS) model based on the nonstationary theory for single-carrier signals. It determines the worst case, i. ...

Nanoparticle conjugation of antigen enhances cytotoxic T-cell responses in pulmonary vaccination

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Benjamin John Marsland, Marie Ballester, Armando Stano, Karen Dane

The ability of vaccines to induce memory cytotoxic T-cell responses in the lung is crucial in stemming and treating pulmonary diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. However, most approaches to subunit vaccines produce primarily humoral and only to a less ...

Trap-limited transport in rubrene transistors

Libero Zuppiroli, Marie-Noëlle Bussac, Steven Konezny

The charge carrier mobility in the transport channel of an organic transistor is estimated within the framework of a trap-and-release model. The model accounts for the observed dependence of the mobility on the dielectric constant "epsilon" of the gate ins ...

Quantum coherence and carriers mobility in organic semiconductors

Libero Zuppiroli, Marie-Noëlle Bussac, Jean-David Picon

We present a model of charge transport in organic molecular semiconductors based on the effects of lattice fluctuations on the quantum coherence of the electronic state of the charge carrier. Thermal intermolecular phonons and librations tend to localize p ...
