A nonconventional technique for the measurement of magnetic relaxation in superconducting films at short times (;10 s) is described. This technique combines the application of a pulsed magnetic field and a synchronized high-energy pulsed laser. Remanent magnetic relaxation in ~Y;Gd!Ba2Cu3O72d thin films is reported over five decades time at reduced temperatures above 0.8. © 1998 American Instit...

The combined capabilities of both a nonplanar design and nonconventional carrier injection mechanisms are subject to recent scientific investigations to overcome the limitations of silicon metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors. In this Letter, we present a multimode field effect transistors device using silicon nanowires that feature an axial n-type/intrinsic doping junction. A het...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are nonconventional processors built almost entirely out of lookup tables. In particular, FPGAs contain grids of logic blocks, connected by a grid of wires with programmable connections. Each logic block has one or more lookup tables and several bits of memory. As a result, logic blocks can implement arbitrary logic functions (up to a few bits), or be comb...

where H is a Hilbert space, and where F : T ×H → H is a set-valued mapping with nonempty compact values (some results hold also with no compactness assumption). It is well known that the differential inclusion description under consideration is important for its own sake and covers many other conventional and nonconventional models involving dynamical systems in finite and infinite dimensions. ...

Integrative medicine (IM) is a model of care which uses both conventional and nonconventional therapies in a "whole person" approach to achieve optimum mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental health, and is increasingly popular among patients and providers seeking to relieve chronic or multifactorial conditions. The US Department of Defense (DoD) shows particular interest in a...

The global gene expression program that accompanies the adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to an abrupt transfer from a fermentable to a nonfermentable carbon source was characterized by using a cDNA microarray to monitor the relative abundances and polysomal distributions of mRNAs. Features of the program included a transient reduction in global translational activity and a severe decrease...
