In this paper, the authors study how new technology can support multilingual groups. Their results show that no significant difference was found between group members’ comprehension of contributed comments and their stated minimum acceptable understanding. However, comprehension of relevant comments was higher than that for off-topic text, indicating that the sharing of important information wa...

733 Abstract— This paper has studied subthreshold characteristics for double gate(DG) MOSFET using Gaussian function in solving Poisson's equation. Typical two dimensional analytical transport models have been presented for symmetrical Double Gate MOSFETs (DGMOSFETs). Subthreshold swing and threshold voltage are very important factors for digital devices because of determination of ON and OFF. ...

We address the so-called “roll-off” phenomenon: Selective abstention in multiple elections. We present a discuss a novel model of decision making by voters that explains this as a result of differences in quality and quantity of information that the voters have about each election. In doing so we use a spatial model that differs from the Euclidean one, and is more naturally applied to modelling...

In TREC-2007, Indiana University‟s WIDIT Lab 1 participated in the Blog track‟s opinion task and the polarity subtask. For the opinion task, whose goal is to "uncover the public sentiment towards a given entity/target", we focused on combining multiple sources of evidence to detect opinionated blog postings. Since detecting opinionated blogs on a given topic (i.e., entity/target) involves not o...

Analytical models for channel potential, threshold voltage, and subthreshold swing of the short-channel fin-shaped field-effect transistor (FinFET) are obtained. The analytical model results are verified against simulations and good agreements are observed. Analytical expressions for subthreshold swing, drain induced barrier lowering effect, and threshold voltage roll-off characteristics are pr...
