The global variability of ultra-thin body and buried oxide (UTBB) MOSFETs in subthreshold and off regimes of operation is analyzed. The variability of the off-state drain current, subthreshold slope, drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL), gate leakage current, threshold voltage and their correlations are considered. Two threshold voltage extraction techniques were used. It is shown that the tra...

A method for automatic extraction and labeling of the airway tree from thoracic CT scans is presented and extensively evaluated on 150 scans of clinical dose, low dose and ultra-low dose data, in inspiration and expiration from both relatively healthy and severely ill patients. The method uses adaptive thresholds while growing the airways and it is shown that this strategy leads to a substantia...

Synthetic cathinones have recently emerged as a substitute for common drugs of abuse. Synthetic cathinones can elicit powerful adverse effects such as delusions, hallucinations and potentially dangerous behavior. To develop a method to analyze 10 synthetic cathinones in oral fluid, we implemented a combined approach of solid-phase extraction and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tand...

An all-digital full-entropy True Random Number Generator (TRNG) with measured 1.3GHz operation and total power consumption of 1.5mW at 0.75V, 25oC is fabricated in 14nm FinFET CMOS. Three independent selfcalibrating entropy sources, coupled with pre-extraction correlation suppressors and a real-time BIW extractor enable ultra-low energy consumption of 3pJ/bit, while generating cryptographic-qua...

The widespread use of silver compounds and silvercontaining procedures in industry, medicine, jewellery, cloud seeding and in disinfection of drinking water has resulted in an increasing silver content in environmental samples. Silver impregnated filters are used in water disinfection, while silver concentrations up to 200 μg L are permitted for antimicrobial activities for human health. Silver...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar with strong anti-jamming performance and high-range resolution can be used to separate multiple human targets in a complex environment. In recent years, through-wall human being detection with UWB radar has become relatively sophisticated. In this paper, the method of kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) feature extraction and the support vector machine (SVM) cl...

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the extraction and determination of 10 β2-agonists in animal urine. Some experimental parameters, such as the type and volume of the extraction solvent, the concentration of the dispersant, the salt concentration, the pH value of the ...

Extraction techniques are surface-dependent processes since their kinetic directly depends on the contact area between the sample and the extractant phase. The dispersion of the extractant (liquid or solid) increases this area improving the extraction efficiency. In this article, the dispersion of a nanostructured sorbent at the very low milligram level is achieved by effervescence thanks to th...
