Narrow-channel accumulated body nMOSFET devices with p-type side gates surrounding the active area have been electrically characterized between 100 and 400 K varied side-gate biasing ( ${V}_{\text {side}}$ ). The subthreshold slope (S...

Exciton-polaritons, hybrid light–matter bosonic quasiparticles, can condense into a single quantum state, i.e., forming polariton Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), which represents crucial step for the development of nanophotonic technology. Recently, atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) emerged as promising candidates novel polaritonic devices. Although formation robust valley...

BACKGROUND Induction of therapeutic hypothermia is often complicated by shivering. Nefopam reduces the shivering threshold with minimal side effects. Consequently, nefopam is an attractive component for induction of therapeutic hypothermia. However, nefopam alone is insufficient; it will thus need to be combined with another drug. Clonidine and alfentanil each reduce the shivering threshold. Th...

To test the potential of Infrared (IR) thermography in diagnosing as well as predicting type 2 diabetes and its complications compared with biochemical assay of HbA(1c) as standard. As per American Diabetes Association criteria, threshold for diagnosis of diabetes was set as HbA(1c) ≥ 6.5 % (7.7 mmol L⁻¹). The total subjects (n = 62) were studied out of which control (n = 32) and diabetic subje...

The ability to predict the effects of extreme climatic variables on livestock is important in terms of welfare and performance. An index combining temperature and humidity (THI) has been used for more than 4 decades to assess heat stress in cattle. However, the THI does not include important climatic variables such as solar load and wind speed (WS, m/s). Likewise, it does not include management...
