Graphene-metal contact resistance limits the performance of graphene-based electrical devices. In this work, we have fabricated both graphene field-effect transistors (GFET) and transfer length measurement (TLM) test devices with titanium contacts. The purpose of this work is to compare the contact resistances that can be numerically extracted from the GFETs and measured from the TLM structures...

{ The paper describes progress in the modelling of penetration and coupling in conngu-rations relevant to EMC. The application of the TLM method in modelling eeciently thin nite-conductivity panels and thin wires is outlined. Comparisons with experimental and theoretical results show that inexpensive numerical models are accurate enough for EMC studies and hence that whole system modelling is b...

BACKGROUND The laryngeal framework provides a natural barrier preventing tumour spread to extralaryngeal structures. Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) may violate these boundaries, altering the pathways of tumor spread for potential recurrences. Our project objective is to describe laryngeal SCC recurrence patterns and overall survival in patients re...

This paper describes how models from different simulation tools can be connected and simulated on different processors by using the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) and the transmission line element method (TLM). Interconnectivity between programs makes it possible to model each part of a complex system with the best suited tool, which will shorten the modelling time and increase the accuracy ...

The aim of this study is to find ways of improving target language modeling (TLM) applied to statistical machine translation (SMT). We describe current research activities dedicated to TLM improvement that are applied to the 2007 n-gram-based statistical machine translation system developed in the TALP Research Center at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). We consider two new language ...

Microsurgery techniques are useful innovations towards minimizing the insult of canal stenosis. Here, we describe the trumpet laminectomy microdecompression (TLM) technique, advantages and disadvantages. Sixty-two TLM patients with lumbar disc herniation, facet hypertrophy or yellow ligament or intracanal granulation tissue. The symptoms are low back pain, dysesthesia and severe pain on both le...
