Fast-Read Storage Performance by Thyristor Operation in 3-D Flash Memory by Tomoya Sanuki, Hideto Horii, Takashi Maeda

“…In order to evaluate the advantages of thyristor operation in 3D flash memory further, we report for the first time the several cell characteristics and reliability issues of thyristor operation required for the actual usage of storage products. (1) We demonstrate excellent cell characteristics of a wide programmed Vth window and sufficient program slope values in thyristor operation, which are indispensable for realizing multi-level cells. (2) Cell characteristics of thyristor operation exhibit hysteresis when sweeping in the WL direction but not in the bit line (BL) direction, which is essential for determining the read operating waveform. (3) Our proposed new WL biasing scheme to suppress the cell-to-cell interference effect is described with a more detailed dependence on adjacent cells and its effect on the on-current. …”

Exploring the exoproteome of the parasitic nematode Anisakis simplex (s. s.) and its impact on the human host – an in vitro cross-talk proteomic approach by Robert Stryiński, Robert Stryiński, Ewa Fiedorowicz, Jesús Mateos, Aneta Andronowska, Elżbieta Łopieńska-Biernat, Mónica Carrera

“…In addition, ELISA assays were used to demonstrate if Caco-2 respond to A. simplex (s. s.) larvae and Anis-EVs with significant changes in selected cytokines secretion.ResultsThe results of this study indicate the anti-inflammatory character of Anis-EVs in relation to Caco-2. At the same time, direct treatment with Anis-EVs resulted in more significant changes in the Caco-2 proteome than co-culture with L3 larvae.DiscussionThe results obtained should lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of A. simplex (s. s.) infection in humans and will complement the existing knowledge on the role of EVs in host-parasite communication.…”
