In this article, a new structure is presented for MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor)-like junctionless carbon nanotube field effect transistor (MOS-like J-CNTFET), in which dual material gate with different work-functions are used. In the aforementioned structure, the size of the gates near the source and the drain are 14 and 6 nm, respectively, and the work-functions are equal and 0.5 eV less tha...

PURPOSE Previous studies have demonstrated that babies are at higher risk for mutans streptococci (ms) colonization if their mothers have dense salivary ms reservoirs relative to babies who have mothers with negligible salivary reservoirs. This communication provides data that identifies another potential risk factor (use of a nursing bottle at bedtime and/or naptime that contains a substrate o...

We discuss the possibility of developing high-quality oating-gate memories and circuits in digital CMOS technologies that have only one layer of polysilicon. Here, the primary concern is whether or not we can get adequate control-gate linearity from MOS capacitors. We employ two experimental proceedures to address this issue and nd acceptable oating-gate circuit behavior with MOS capacitors. Fi...

BACKGROUND It has been over a decade since the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), genomic sequencing technologies have yet to become parts of standard of care in Canada. This study investigates medical oncologists' (MOs) genomic literacy and their experiences based on their participation in a cancer genomics trial in British Columbia, Canada. METHODS The authors conducted a survey ...

Novel physical phenomena can emerge in low-dimensional nanomaterials. Bulk MoS(2), a prototypical metal dichalcogenide, is an indirect bandgap semiconductor with negligible photoluminescence. When the MoS(2) crystal is thinned to monolayer, however, a strong photoluminescence emerges, indicating an indirect to direct bandgap transition in this d-electron system. This observation shows that quan...

−The EKV model, a continuous model for the MOS transistor, has been adapted to both partially depleted SOI MOSFETs with grounded body (GBSOI) and dynamic threshold MOS (DTMOS) transistors. Adaptation is straightforward and helps to understand the physics of the DTMOS. Excellent agreement is found between the model and the measured characteristics of GBSOI and DTMOS devices Index Terms− Silicon-...

We examine the impact of bursty losses on the perceived quality of packet audio, and investigate the effectiveness of various approaches to improve the quality. Because the degree of burstiness depends on the packet interval, we first derive a formula to re-compute the conditional loss probability of a Gilbert loss model when the packet interval changes. We find that FEC works better at a large...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Sleep disturbances caused by painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) might have substantial impacts on the multifaceted aspects of PDN, including quality of life. There are no convincing data on the validation or reliability of sleep problem measurements in patients with PDN in Korea. This large population-based cross-sectional study examined psychometric properties of the Medical O...

The modular optoelectronic scanner (MOS) is a German instrument that was launched in the spring of 1996 on the Indian IRS-P3 satellite. With the successful launch of NASA’s Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) in the summer of 1997, there are now two ocean color missions in concurrent operation, and there is interest within the scientific community to compare data from these two sens...

a log-domain current-mode true rms-to-dc converter based on a novel synthesis of a simplified current-mode low pass filter and a two-quadrant squarer/divider is presented. the circuit employs floating gate mos (fg-mos) transistors operating in weak inversion region. the converter features low power(<1.5uw), low supply voltage (0.9v), two quadrant input current, immunity from body effect, low ci...
