Abstract: A method for assessing occurrence of heart failure includes the following steps. A heart failure assessment program established is provided. A target ECG signal data of the subject is provided, wherein the target ECG signal data includes a plurality of target heartbeat waveform data and a plurality of target heart rate data. A data pre-processing step is performed, wherein the target ECG signal data is pre-processed by the data processing module so as to obtain a processed target ECG signal data. An analyzing step is performed, wherein the processed target ECG signal data is analyzed by the heart failure assessment program so as to obtain a heart failure occurrence assessing result, and the heart failure occurrence assessing result presents a heart failure occurring condition and the severity of the heart failure of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an amino acid-modified polymer, a carboxypolysaccharide, and may further include a metal ion for anti-adhesion and vector application. More specifically, the invention relates to a thermosensitive composition having enhanced mechanical and improved water-erosion resistant properties for efficiently preventing tissue adhesions and can serve as a vector with bio-compatible, bio-degradable/absorbable, and in-vivo sustainable properties.

Abstract: Synthetic amino acid-modified polymers and methods of making the same and using the same are disclosed. The synthetic amino acid-modified polymers possess distinct thermosensitive, improved water-erosion resistant, and enhanced mechanical properties, and are suitable of reducing or preventing formation of postoperative tissue adhesions. Additionally, the amino acid-modified polymers can also be used as a vector to deliver pharmaceutically active agents.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for forming a gate dielectric layer, and, more particularly, to a method for treating a base oxide layer by using a remote plasma nitridation procedure and a thermal annealing treatment in turn to form the gate dielectric layer. The first step of the present invention is to form a base oxide layer on a substrate of a wafer. The base oxide layer can be formed using any kind of method. Then nitrogen ions are introduced into the base oxide layer using the remote plasma nitridation procedure to form a remote plasma nitrided oxide layer. Finally, the wafer is placed in a reaction chamber which comprises oxygen (O2) or nitric monoxide (NO) to treat the remote plasma nitrided oxide layer using the thermal annealing procedure and the gate dielectric layer of the present invention is formed.
