  • Counterclaim Defendant, Case No
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION NESTLÉ PURINA PETCARE COMPANY, Plaintiff/ Counterclaim Defendant, Case No. 4:14-cv-859-RWS v. BLUE BUFFALO COMPANY LTD., Defendant/ Counterclaim Plaintiff. DECLARATION OF VINAYAK P. DRAVID, PH.D. I have been retained by Blue Buffalo Company Ltd. (“Blue Buffalo”) and have been asked to provide a preliminary opinion about the scientific adequacy and reliability of the conclusions set forth in the Expert Report of James V. Makowski dated July 23, 2014 (PUR_000207-52), (“Makowski Report”). In his Report, Dr. Makowski, purports to reach definitive quantitative conclusions about the compositions of various Blue Buffalo products based solely on visual observations of the products using rudimentary optical microscopy. Briefly, Dr. Makowski obtained various product samples directly from Nestlé Purina. Dr. Makowski then examined the processed samples under a low-power light microscope, with very limited capabilities. Dr. Makowski purported to identify ingredients based solely on a subjective, visual comparison of what he observed to “a reference library of known ingredients” – though his Report fails to identify the reference library and validate its utility. Dr. Makowski made no effort to document what features he saw that led to a particular identification (save for four low quality, scale-less photographs, three of which were from a single sample). In other words, he apparently made these identifications based on 7271442v.1 gut feeling. Similarly, Dr. Makowski purported to quantify the amount of ingredients he identified through a “visual estimate,” though his Report and supporting laboratory notebook fail to set forth any methodology for arriving at such numbers.

  • Researchers Demonstrate First Stable Semiconductor Neutron Detector 15 January 2020
    Researchers demonstrate first stable semiconductor neutron detector 15 January 2020 arrays of crystals. The study will be published in the Jan. 16 issue of the journal Nature. "People have imagined semiconductor neutron detectors for a long time," said Northwestern's Mercouri Kanatzidis, who led the research. "The idea was there, but no one had the right material to do it." Kanatzidis is the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry in Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. He has a joint appointment with Argonne. A prototype of a working, pocket-sized neutron detector made with a high lithium-containing material. Credit: Northwestern University/Argonne National Laboratory Homeland Security might soon have a new tool to add to its arsenal. Researchers at Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new material that opens doors for a new class of neutron detectors. With the ability to sense smuggled nuclear New material (lithium-indium-phosphorous-selenium) is materials, highly efficient neutron detectors are lithium-rich, making the semiconductor neutron detector critical for national security. Currently, there are possible. Credit: Northwestern University/Argonne two classes of detectors which either use helium National Laboratory gas or flashes of light. These detectors are very large—sometimes the size of a wall. Northwestern and Argonne's material introduces a When heavy elements, such as uranium and third class: a semiconductor that can absorb plutonium, decay, their atoms eject neutrons from neutrons and generate electrical signals that can their nuclei. Most neutron detectors are so-called be easily measured. The semiconductor-based scintillators that work by sensing ejected neutrons detector is also highly efficient and stable.

In particular, the light emission of low-dimensional halides based on the 5s2 cations Sn2+ and Sb3+ has found utility in a variety of applications complementary to those of the three- dimensional halide perovskites because of its unusual properties such as broadband character and highly temperature-dependent lifetime. These properties derive from the exceptional chemistry of the 5s2 lone pair, but the terminology and explanations given for such emission vary widely, hampering efforts to build a cohesive understanding of these materials that would lead to the development of efficient optoelectronic devices. In this Perspective, we provide a structural overview of these materials with a focus on the dynamics driven by the stereoactivity of the 5s2 lone pair to identify the structural features that enable strong emission. We unite the different theoretical models that have been able to explain the success of these bright 5s2 emission centers into a cohesive framework, which is then applied to the array of compounds recently developed by our group and other researchers, demonstrating its utility and generating a holistic picture of the field from the point of view of a materials chemist.

    Low Frequency Electronic Noise in Single-Layer MoS2 Transistors Vinod K. Sangwan,1|| Heather N. Arnold,1|| Deep Jariwala,1 Tobin J. Marks,1,2 Lincoln J. Lauhon,1 and Mark C. Hersam1,2,* 1Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. 2Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. *e-mail: [email protected] KEYWORDS: molybdenum disulfide, transition metal dichalcogenide, 1/f noise, generation- recombination noise, Hooge parameter, nanoelectronics ABSTRACT: Ubiquitous low frequency 1/f noise can be a limiting factor in the performance and application of nanoscale devices. Here, we quantitatively investigate low frequency electronic noise in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 field-effect transistors. The measured 1/f noise can be explained by an empirical formulation of mobility fluctuations with the Hooge parameter ranging between 0.005 and 2.0 in vacuum (< 10-5 Torr). The field-effect 1 mobility decreased and the noise amplitude increased by an order of magnitude in ambient conditions, revealing the significant influence of atmospheric adsorbates on charge transport. In addition, single Lorentzian generation-recombination noise was observed to increase by an order of magnitude as the devices were cooled from 300 K to 6.5 K.
