Bit swapping linear feedback shift register (BS-LFSR) is employed in a conventional linear feedback shirt register (LFSR) to reduce its power dissipation and enhance its performance. In this paper, an enhanced BS-LFSR for low power application is proposed. To achieve low power dissipation, the proposed BS-LFSR introduced the stacking technique to reduce leakage current. In addition, three diffe...

tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with two different sizes (average particle sizes about 50 and 80 nm) were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. photo degradation of congo red (azo dye) showed that photo catalytic property of the as-prepared wo3 nanoparticles with average size about 80 nm is higher than the sample with average size about 50 nm. photo degradation of rhodamine b (cationic triary...

Single-electron transistor (SET) is a key element of current research area of nanotechnology which can offer low power consumption and high operating speed. Single electron transistor [SET] is a new nanoscaled switching device because single-electron transistor retains its scalability even on an atomic scale and besides this; it can control the motion of a single electron. The goal of this pape...

Titanium dioxide has been widely used for photo-catalytic and self-cleaning activities. In this study, TiO2 /SiO2 /Co nanocomposite was prepared by sol-gel method in the presence of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), and Hydroxyl Propyl Cellulose (HPC) as additives, and characterized by IR spectra, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analytical X-Ray (EDAX), and X-Ray Diffraction (X...

The thermal behavior of a power transistor mounted on a dissipator is considered in order to estimate the transistor temperature junction using a measure of the dissipator temperature only. The thermal transfers between the electric power applied to the transistor, the junction temperature, and the dissipator temperature are characterized by two fractional transfer functions. These models are t...

This paper describes a transistor sizing methodology for both analog and digital CMOS circuits. Various techniques are used for power optimization in CMOS VLSI circuits. Transistor sizing is one of the important techniques for the determination of circuit performance. The aim of the power optimization is to minimize the power and power-delay product or the energy consumption of the circuit. Thu...

In this paper, a novel low power pulsed flip-flop (PFF) using self-controllable pass transistor logic is presented. The pulse generation logic comprising of two transistor AND gate is used in the critical path of the design for improved speed and reduced complexity. In the D to Q path inverter is removed and the transistor is replaced with pass transistor logic. The pass transistor is driven by...

nifedipine (nif), a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, undergoes photo-degradation to dehydro-nifedipine (dnif) upon exposure to ultraviolet (uv) light and to the nitroso analogue of dehydro-nifedipine (ndnif) when exposed to sunlight or some kinds of artificial lights. nif photo-degradation products do not contribute to clinical activity, thus prevention of photo-degradation of ni...
