In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon...

This report defines the rank complement of a diagonalizable matrix (i.e. a matrix which can be brought to a diagonal form by means of a change of basis) as the interchange of the range and the null space. Given a diagonalizable matrix A there is in general no unique matrix Ac which has a range equal to the null space of A and a null space equal to the range of A, only matrices of full rank have...

The fear avoidance model of pain (FAM) conceptualizes pain catastrophizing as the cognitive antecedent of pain-related fear, and pain-related fear as the emotional antecedent of depression and disability. The FAM is essentially one of mediation whereby pain-related fear becomes the process by which depression or disability ensue. However, emerging literature suggests that pain catastrophizing, ...
