Half-Heusler alloys with the general formula TiNiSn12xSbx are currently being investigated for their potential as thermoelectric ~TE! materials. A systematic investigation of the effect of Sb doping on the Sn site and Zr doping on the Ti site on the electrical and thermal transport of the TiNiSn system has been performed. Unexpectedly, lattice thermal conductivity kL appears to increase somewha...

So long as a ban is enforceable, large private athletic institutions—such as Major League Baseball and the National Collegiate Athletic Association—should not allow their athletes to take performance-enhancing drugs.The argument I present is game-theoretic: though each athlete prefers unilateral permission to dope over a universal ban, he also prefers a universal ban over universal permission t...

(2016) Enhanced surface transfer doping of diamond by V2O5 with improved thermal stability. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it.

The pressure effects on superconducting transition temperature Tc and thermopwer S were studied up to 16 GPa for HgBa2Cam−1CumO2m+2+δ with m = 1–3 over a broad doping range. Direct measurement for a HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ sample with Tc = 115 K shows that the charge transfer is negative and unusually small, i.e. ∼ −0.0004 holes/(CuO2·GPa). The Tc (P ) over a broad doping levels, on the other hand, sug...

Ambipolar conduction in transistors using solution grown InAs nanowires with Cd doping " (2007).

Given the current regulatory environment surrounding doping in the world, and in view of the recurring scandals linking leading athletes in a variety of sports with doping, this paper aims to provide some thoughts on the relationship between doping and public health, taking as base reference the risks doping poses to health and considering the regulatory options that have been adopted by the in...

Though we may still sing today, as did Pindar in his eighth Olympian Victory Ode, "… of no contest greater than Olympia, Mother of Games, gold-wreathed Olympia…", we must sadly admit that today, besides blatant over-commercialization, there is no more ominous threat to the Olympic games than doping. Drug-use methods are steadily becoming more sophisticated and ever harder to detect, increasingl...
