The invention provides a method of regulating water and mucin secretions and fluid transport in the gastrointestinal tract. The invention also provides a method for treating a gastrointestinal disease in which the mucosal barrier of the gastrointestinal system is impaired. The invention additionally provides a method for correcting disorders of fluid secretion or absorption in the gastrointestinal system. The method comprises administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a purinergic P2Y receptor agonist, in an amount effective to regulate water and mucin secretions or to correct abnormal fluid transport in the gastrointestinal tract. The pharmaceutical composition used in this invention comprises a P2Y purinergic receptor agonist such as uridine 5â-diphosphate (UDP), uridine 5â-triphosphate (UTP), cytidine 5â-diphosphate (CDP), cytidine 5â-triphosphate (CTP), adenosine 5â-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 5â-triphosphate (ATP), and their analogs; and dinucleotide polyphosphate compounds of general Formula (IV). Said compound is prepared in an oral form, an injectable form, or a suppository form, and administered to a patient.

A method for organizing deep Web services is provided. In one aspect, the method obtains a collection of sources and their associated attributes and/or input modes, for instance, using a crawling algorithm. The method uses this information to organize the sources into communities. A mining algorithm such as the hyperclique mining algorithm is used to obtain cliques of highly correlated attributes. A clustering algorithm such as the hierarchical agglomerative clustering algorithm is used to further cluster the cliques of attributes into larger cliques, which in the present disclosure is referred to as signatures. The sources that are associated with each signature form a community and a graph representation of the communities is constructed, where the vertices are communities and the edges are the shared attributes.

A method of fabricating a Schottky field effect transistor is provided that includes providing a substrate having at least a first semiconductor layer overlying a dielectric layer, wherein the first semiconductor layer has a thickness of less than 10. 0 nm. A gate structure is formed directly on the first semiconductor layer. A raised semiconductor material is selectively formed on the first semiconductor layer adjacent to the gate structure. The raised semiconductor material is converted into Schottky source and drain regions composed of a metal semiconductor alloy. A non-reacted semiconductor material is present between the Schottky source and drain regions and the dielectric layer.

An epitaxial Ni silicide film that is substantially non-agglomerated at high temperatures, and a method for forming the epitaxial Ni silicide film, is provided. The Ni silicide film of the present disclosure is especially useful in the formation of ETSOI (extremely thin silicon-on-insulator) Schottky junction source/drain FETs. The resulting epitaxial Ni silicide film exhibits improved thermal stability and does not agglomerate at high temperatures.

A Schottky field effect transistor is provided that includes a substrate having a layer of semiconductor material atop a dielectric layer, wherein the layer of semiconductor material has a thickness of less than 10. 0 nm. A gate structure is present on the layer of semiconductor material. Raised source and drain regions comprised of a metal semiconductor alloy are present on the layer of semiconductor material on opposing sides of the gate structure. The raised source and drain regions are Schottky source and drain regions. In one embodiment, a first portion of the Schottky source and drain regions that is adjacent to a channel region of the Schottky field effect transistor contacts the dielectric layer, and a non-reacted semiconductor material is present between a second portion of the Schottky source and drain regions and the dielectric layer.
