Bulk-driven MOSFET technique meets the low-voltage and low-power requirements demanded in the modern analog circuit design. Due to submicron/nanometer technologies and critical short-channel effects, choosing a suitable MOSFET model for circuit design becomes increasingly important. However, the conventional MOSFET models normally set up for the typical gate-driven applications may not perform ...

Gaining a detailed understanding of water transport behavior through ultra-thin polymer membranes is increasingly becoming necessary due to the recent interest in exploring applications such as water desalination using nanoporous membranes. Current techniques only measure bulk water transport rates and do not offer direct visualization of water transport which can provide insights into the micr...

This study evaluated the effects of fiber nets and application techniques and flowable composites as a liner on microleakage and the effects of fiber nets on polymerization shrinkage in Class II MOD cavities. Standard MOD cavities were performed in 80 extracted third molars. The teeth were randomly divided into eight groups (n=10). Group 1: Filtek Supreme XT (bulk technique) (FSB); Group 2: Fil...

We demonstrated experimentally the generation of 65-microJ, 5.8-fs optical pulses with an ultrabroad bandwidth (540-1000 nm) by the use of a double-pass angularly-dispersed non-collinear optical parametric amplifier. We also confirmed up to the 95-microJ output from the amplifier when seed pulses were not pre-compensated for. Furthermore, we confirmed that the broadband pump pulses brought in t...

Usage patterns of private mobile devices are constantly evolving. For example, researchers have recently found that mobile users prefer using their devices with only one hand. Furthermore, current hardware in these devices reduces the need for a stylus and instead relies on finger input. However, current interactive techniques, such as those used for sharing documents between private and public...

Objectives: Microleakage is the main concern in composite restorations. This study aimed to compare the microleakage of two bulk-fill and one conventional composite at two different time points. Methods: Class II cavities were prepared in 60 premolar teeth and divided into six groups of 20. Groups 1 and 4 were incrementally filled with Grandio composite. Groups 2 and 5 were filled with X-tra...
