information seeking anxiety can be interpreted as the fear and/or apprehension of searching for information resources during the information seeking process. the current study aims to determine the prevalence and correlates of the information seeking anxiety among a group of graduate students. the target population of the study comprised 11000 postgraduate students enrolled in various graduate ...

Multi Scale modeling of Nano solar cells is proposed and implemented in this paper. In the realm of current theories many phenomenon of Nano scale remains inexplicable and there is a need of high computation power to work on areas such as multi scale modeling. We have shown the distribution of computation in multi scale modeling being implemented on an HPC Setup for nano enable solar cells. We ...

The Noise estimation and avoidance are becoming critical, in today’s high performance IC design. An accurate yet efficient crosstalk noise model which contains as many driver/interconnect parameters as possible, is necessary for any sensitivity based noise avoidance approach. In this paper, we present an analysis for crosstalk noise model which incorporates all physical properties including vic...

Several techniques have already been developed for synthesising silicon carbide (SiC) material in the form of nanospheres and nanowires/rods. Here, we report the synthesis of a distinctly different kind of SiC nanostructure in the form of three-dimensional crystalline nanowire based flower-like structures and arrays of coaxial rods. Interest in such structures centres around the combination of ...

The interaction betWeen shock v,aves and boundary layers has important effects in msny problems of high-speed flcv?. This paper has been Written as a guide to the litcraturc On the subject, and as a critical review of the present state of lmc~llcdgo concerning both the underlying physical processes and the practical applications. It rvill be clear to the reader that, although substantisl prcgrc...

Recent uses of bistatic sonars show the advantages of decoupling transmitter and receiver(s) to optimise the information from seabed and target scattering. However, high-frequency scattering needs to be better understood, especially in complex, multiple-target environments (e.g. dumpsites or highly cluttered seabeds). Sea trials are paramount in providing acoustic measurements to validate scatt...

[1] We present a detailed case study of the characteristics of auroral forms that constitute the first ionospheric signatures of substorm expansion phase onset. Analysis of the optical frequency and along‐arc (azimuthal) wave number spectra provides the strongest constraint to date on the potential mechanisms and instabilities in the near‐Earth magnetosphere that accompany auroral onset and whi...

The protection of civil structures, including their material contents and human occupants, is without doubt a world-wide priority of the most serious current importance. Such protection may range from reliable operation and comfort, on the one hand, to survivability on the other. Examples of such structures leap to one’s mind, and include buildings, offshore rigs, towers, roads, bridges, and pi...

Evacuations requiring large numbers of pedestrians to evacuate and potentially interact with vehicles are unique in the complexity of interactions that must be understood and in the potentially catastrophic consequences of poor management. On the pedestrian side alone, these events, which may result from a variety of causes including terrorist attacks, bomb threats, and building fires, require ...

Subthreshold (leakage or cut-off) currents are a necessary evil in traditional VLSI design methodologies. These currents increase exponentially as threshold voltage scales, creating a serious problem for traditional design approaches. This work is based on the exclusive use of subthreshold conduction currents to perform circuit operations, turning this problem into an opportunity. It yields a d...
