- To identify susceptibility genes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 506 individuals with sporadic ALS and 1,859 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. Ninety top SNPs suggested by the current GWAS and 6 SNPs identified by previous GWAS were analyzed in an independent cohort of 706 individuals with ALS and 1,777 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. We discovered two new susceptibility loci for ALS at 1q32 (CAMK1G, rs6703183, P-combined = 2.92 x 10(-8), odds ratio (OR) = 1.31) and 22p11 (CABIN1 and SUSD2, rs8141797, P-combined = 2.35 x 10(-9), OR = 1.52). These two loci explain 12.48% of the overall variance in disease risk in the Han Chinese population. We found no association evidence for the previously reported loci in the Han Chinese population, suggesting genetic heterogeneity of disease susceptibility for ALS between ancestry groups. Our study identifies two new susceptibility loci and suggests new pathogenic mechanisms of ALS.

- A novel DRAM cell based on floating junction gate (FJG) concept is investigated for its extended applications. Compared to the two-transistor floating gate DRAM cell, the new memory cell investigated in the present work has a much simpler configuration with only one transistor. Besides, its write speed is improved by introducing an integrated gated-diode so that state “1” can be self-refreshable. In this paper, the device configuration, the DRAM application feasibility, the self-refreshing ability, and the non-destructive read are explored. In addition, extended applications of the DRAM cell using the FJG concept will be discussed.

- Two heterocycle-based derivatives that can be used as two-photon absorption chromophore, 9-butyl-3-(2,6-diphenylpyridin-4-yl)-9H-carbazole (BDPYC) and 9-butyl-3-(4-(2, 6-diphenylpyridin-4-yl)styryl)-9H-carbazole (BDPSC) have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and MS. The molecules possess D-pi-A structures, but have different pi bridge. The 9-butylcarbazole is used as a donor (D), and the pyridine ring is used as an acceptor (A). One- and two-photon absorption and excited fluorescence properties in various solvents were experimentally investigated. Two-photon initiated optical data recording experiments have been carried Out under 740 nm laser radiation, and the possible mechanism of optical data storage is discussed based on theoretical calculations.
