Drain current multiplication in vertical MOSFETs due to body isolation by the drain depletion region and gate-gate charge coupling are investigated at pillar thicknesses in the range 200-10 nm. For pillar thickness > 120 nm depletion isolation does not occur and hence the body contact is found to be completely effective with no multiplication in drain current, whereas for pillar thicknesses < 6...

Customer relationship management, one-to-one marketing, recommendation systems, and real-time click mining are common means to create a personalised customer interaction in today’s e-Commerce. However, one major aspect of customisation and adaptation has thus far been neglected – one buyer might assume multiple shopping roles. Searching for a present for an 11-yearold daughter leads to a differ...

Fiscal year 2013 will be a milestone for hospital reimbursement. That’s the year Medicare’s proposed new hospital value-based purchasing program starts. Under value-based purchasing, a portion of hospitals’ DRG reimbursement will be based on their performance on quality metrics, including patient perceptions of the quality of care (PPQC). (See March 2011 OR Manager.) Patient perceptions of qual...

We consider the situation in which a purchaser can either buy a large quantity at the same time or sequentially in a number of smaller lots. Buying in a number of smaller lots obviously increases transaction costs. But buying in smaller lots provides the opportunity to the supplier to learn by discovering the true costs of supplying every lot. This is especially interesting for purchasers (and ...

A number of highly publicized, controversial lapses in social responsibility within global supply chains have forced managers and scholars to reexamine long-held perspectives on supplier selection. Extending Carter and Jennings’ department-level study of purchasing social responsibility, our research assesses the role of supply managers’ ethical intentions and three key antecedents that drive s...

We report on detailed room-temperature transport properties of a 17 nm thick double-gate silicon-on-insulator (DGSOI) transistor. We find that when the electron gas is transferred between the top and the bottom of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer by changing the gate bias symmetry (i.e., applying the gate biases in a push–pull fashion), while keeping the carrier density constant the maximum...

Abstract In this work, multi-function vehicle bus (MVB) controller-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and MVB manager based on the real-time multitasking operating system were explored developed. The function of controller data link layer was realised by using FPGA. embedded uCOS-II applied to development manager’s processing data, device state management, message management function. n...

In this paper we address the problem of optimizing multi-period inventory in the case of uncertain demands. At each time period, the company produces a certain quantity of goods which is used to serve a client demand. The unit selling price was fixed in advance by contract for the time horizon and an expected value of the quantity to deliver at each time period is known. In case of overproducti...

  Supplier selection is one of the most important activities of purchasing departments. This importance is increased even more by new strategies in a supply chain, because of the key role suppliers perform in terms of quality, costs and services which affect the outcome in the buyer’s company. Supplier selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem in which the objectives are not equa...
