Ramakumar, a male child, 14 months old, was brought to me by his parents for rapidly deteriorating health. History revealed that this was the twelfth child born with apparently good health. For the past few months the child refused any feed and gradually grew thinner and thinner until he became skin and bone. Further, it was also learned that the mother has been ailing from diabetes. There was ...

Turn-on efficiency is the main concern for silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) devices used as on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit, especially in deep sub-quarter-micron CMOS processes with much thinner gate oxide. A novel double-triggered technique is proposed to speed up the turn-on speed of SCR devices for using in on-chip ESD protection circuit to effectively protect the...

thinner usage may lead myocardial infarction (MI). Hereby, we discussed a subacute anterior MI patient (28-year-old male) without a previous medical history, abusing paint thinner and ecstasy. Our patient, flooring parquetry, used to inhale approximately 250 mL paint thinner with a towel a day for 15 years, take 2 pills of ecstasy a day for 5 years, and smoke 20 cigarettes a day for 15 years. O...

Civale et al. have recently measured the irreversibility line of YBa2Cu307 „(YBCO)films in the magnetic field-temperature plane, B;„(T),as a function of film thickness. We are able to reproduce the observed shift of B;„(T) to lower temperatures as the film thickness is reduced within a model of Aux-linelattice melting without pinning. While pinning must be important, this suggests B;„(T) is at ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of tanned female images on respondents' perceptions of attractiveness, healthiness, and height and weight estimations. METHOD A 3 (light, medium, or dark tan) by 2 (male or female respondent) experimental design. RESULTS Only male respondents perceived the dark-tanned woman as more physically attractive and thinner than both light- and medium-tanned women. Me...

Through simulations, this work explores the effects of conducting, semiconducting, and insulating substrates on the absorption of infrared radiation by radiative polaritons in oxide layers with thicknesses that range from 30 nm to 9 μm. Using atomic layer deposition, oxide layers can be formed in the nanometer scale. Our results suggest that the chemistry and conductivity of the substrate dete...

Gate tunneling current in fully depleted, double-gate (DG) silicon-on-insultor (SOI) MOSFETs is characterized based on quantummechanical principles. The gate tunneling current for symmetrical DG SOI with ground-plane ( =1.5 nm and =5 nm) is shown to be higher relative to single-gate (bulk) MOS structure. The tunneling is enhanced as the silicon layer becomes thinner since the thinner silicon la...
