Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Increasing appreciation of the phenotypic and biological overlap between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia, alongside evolving biomarker evidence for a pre-symptomatic stage of disease and observations that this stage of disease might not always be clinically silent, is challenging traditional views of these disorders. These advances have highlighted the need to adapt ingrained notions of these clinical syndromes to include both the full phenotypic continuum - from clinically silent, to prodromal, to clinically manifest - and the expanded phenotypic spectrum that includes ALS, frontotemporal dementia and some movement disorders. The updated clinical paradigms should also align with our understanding of the biology of these disorders, reflected in measurable biomarkers. The Miami Framework, emerging from discussions at the Second International Pre-Symptomatic ALS Workshop in Miami (February 2023; a full list of attendees and their affiliations appears in the Supplementary Information) proposes a classification system built on: first, three parallel phenotypic axes - motor neuron, frontotemporal and extrapyramidal - rather than the unitary approach of combining all phenotypic elements into a single clinical entity; and second, biomarkers that reflect different aspects of the underlying pathology and biology of neurodegeneration. This framework decouples clinical syndromes from biomarker evidence of disease and builds on experiences from other neurodegenerative diseases to offer a unified approach to specifying the pleiotropic clinical manifestations of disease and describing the trajectory of emergent biomarkers.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We demonstrate a low voltage nonvolatile memory field effect transistor comprising thermal SiO2 tunneling and HfO2 blocking layers as the gate dielectric stack and Au nanocrystals as charge storage nodes. The structure exhibits a memory window of similar to 2 V at an applied sweeping voltage of +/- 3 V which increases to 12.6 at +/- 12 V. Retention tests show an extrapolated loss of 16% after ten years in the hysteresis width of the threshold voltage. Dynamic program/erase operation reveal an approximately pulse width independent memory for pulse durations of 1 mu s to 10 ms; longer pulses increase the memory window while for pulses shorter than 1 mu s, the memory windows vanishes. The effective oxide thickness is below 10 nm with very low gate and drain leakage currents. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3595484]
