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...

Games & Learning We are well aware that video games are ca using educators to take a second l ook at t he e ducational value o f games, technology, and the social interactions involved (de Castell & Jenson, 2004; Gee, 2 003; Shaffer, Squire, Halverson, & Gee, 2005) but what does that learning look like, how does that l earning o r way of knowing happen, and what do the gamers h ave to say abou ...

The latter two principles protect the soil resource on which all food and fibre production ultimately depends. However, agricultural production systems differ from ‘natural’ or undeveloped systems in that they can be considered to be ‘leaky’ with respect to nutrients. This is inevitable, due to nutrient removal in harvested product, but inappropriate fertiliser management can exacerbate the ‘le...

subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (pet) bottles produced by household sectors. this research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and california bearing ratio...

noise-induced hearing loss, which is one of the 10 leading occupational diseases, is a debilitating and irreversible disease. during the recent 15-years period (1997-2012), several studies have investigated the association between noise, hearing damage and other side effects of noise in iran. the aim of this study was to review systematically the relevant literature related to noise-induced hea...

We have concerned ourselves at the gastroenterology unit of the VU University Medical Center with drug repositioning since 2001. Generic therapy, often successfully used off-label in daily practice and well described in literature in large observational studies, should be further developed for safe and economically viable use. To prevent off-label use legislative authoritiesshouldstimulate re-r...

Since 2010, solar energy companies in North America and Europe have played a pivotal role delivering clean, reliable sustainable electricity to millions of people living off the grid across sub-Saharan Africa. However, today, off-grid Africa is no longer seen as an unmitigated social economic good. Inflows private equity investment led employees customers question industry's commercial dynamics...

An approach for preliminary aero-engine design, incorporating a mean-line code the design of axial-flow, multi-stage compressors, is presented. The compressor developed and integrated within framework assessment concepts. It then combined with modules map generation, multi-point engine steady-state transient off-design performance aircraft mission analysis. Implementation examples are presented...

in descriptive statistics, there are two computational algorithms for determining the variance s2, of a set of observations : algorithm 1: s2= - , algorithm 2: s2= , where . it is interesting to discuss, which of the above formulas is numerically more trustworthy in machine numbers sets. i this paper, based on total effect of rounding error, we prove that the second algorithm is better than ...
