The low frequency noise in Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistors is analyzed by characterizing the gate electrode dependence on various geometrical parameters. It shows that gate electrodes have a strong impact in the flicker noise of Silicon Nanowire Field effect transistors. Optimization of gate electrode was done by comparing different performance metrics such a DIBL, SS, Ion / Ioff and ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) including myocardial infarction (MI) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in Iran, with extremely elevated mortality. CAD is a multifactorial disorder. Twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of CAD. Many studies have reported a significant...

Background: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone, is known to have anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. In the present study, the association between two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (+45T/G and +276G/T) of ADIOPQ gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed in the subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: Genotypes of two SNPs we...

Stem and peduncle bending by the weight of the flower is one of the main postharvest problems in gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus.) and sometimes caused stem crushing or water loss. In this research, silicon and salicylic acid were applied to enhance the mechanical strength of inflorescence stem, and the results revealed that stem curving was decreased by silicon and salicylic acid treatments. ...

background and aims: bilirubin has been considered an antioxidant that protects against atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of serum bilirubin level with the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease (cad) and long-term outcome in the patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). materials and methods: this prospective cohort ...

cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world and also in iran. new clinical studies have shown that early diagnosis of patients with coronary artery disease (cad) can contribute to effective prevention or therapeutic structures, which reduce mortality or the next chance of cardiovascular events, and increase the quality of life. most studies on cad d...

the impacts of salicylic acid and silicon on some physiological parameters of maize seedlings in the presence ofcadmium (100 μm) were investigated. inhibitory effects of cadmium on seedling growth resulted in reduced shoot and root fresh weight, low percentage of relative water content, low chlorophyll, free proline and soluble sugars contents and a low rate of lipid peroxidation. results indic...

in the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. to this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. it was found...

BACKGROUND Different CAD/CAM machines' generation may impact the restoration overall quality. The present study evaluated the marginal fit of CAD/CAM restorations manufactured with different generations of CEREC milling unit systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen typodont teeth were divided into two groups (n=8) according to the machine's generation assigned. These are control group (G1): Cere...

In this paper we introduce our virtual etching as part of MAGDA a CAD system for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Virtual prototyping visualizations require fast algorithms for visualization that are suitable for interactive design. Modern MEMS simulators do not offer dynamic visualizations for etching. Etching progress is time dependent, typically calculated with Finite Element Analysi...
