The thermoelectric properties of nano-scaled In2O3:Sn films deposited by spray pyrolysis are considered in the present report. It is shown that multicomponent In2O3:Sn-based films are promising material for the application in thermoelectric devices. It is established that the increase in the efficiency of thermoelectric conversion at CSn~5% occurred due to nano-scaled structure of the films stu...

Finding edges in digital images is an essential and important task in many imaging applications. This paper describes an edge detection using multi scale Directional Filter Bank (DFB). This method tries to solve two difficulties that edge finding algorithms must face: limited directions and combining the detected edges at different scales. The directional responses of DFB that represent the edg...

A novel data structure that enables the storage and retrieval of linear array numeric with logarithmic time complexity updates, range sums, rescaling is introduced studied. Computing sums ranges arrays numbers a common computational problem encountered in compression, coding, machine learning, vision, finance, among other fields. Efficient structures enabling log n updates underlying (including...

Although the agile software development approaches have gained wide acceptance in practice, the concerns regarding the scalability and integration of agile practices in traditional large-scale system development projects are prevailing. Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) has emerged as a solution to address some of these concerns. Despite few encouraging results, case studies indicate several challe...

Scaled Matching refers to the problem of nding all locations in the text where the pattern, proportionally enlarged according to an arbitrary integral scale, appears. Scaled matching is an important problem that was originally inspired by problems in Vision. However, in real life, a more natural model of scaled matching is the Real Scaled Matching model. Real scaled matching is an extended vers...

Introduction: Energetic particles and plasma dynamics in the near-Earth space environment can significantly impact operation of both military and civilian systems. The underlying physical mechanisms relevant to two important space plasma issues, radiation belt dynamics and auroral ionospheric space weather, are under investigation in the NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC). Plasma condi...

Title of Dissertation: A STUDY OF NANOMETER SEMICONDUCTOR SCALING EFFECTS ON MICROELECTRONICS RELIABILITY Mark White, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Joseph B. Bernstein Department of Mechanical Engineering The desire to assess the reliability of emerging scaled microelectronics technologies through faster reliability trials and more accurate acceleration models is the precursor for fur...

In this paper, the impact of gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) on the overall leakage of submicrometer VLSI circuits is studied. GIDL constitutes a serious constraint, with regards to off-state current, in scaled down complimentary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) devices for DRAM and/or EEPROM applications. Our research shows that the GIDL current is also a serious problem in scaled CMOS digit...
