This paper presents the analysis, design and implementation of a millimeter-wave W-band power detector. Fabricated in a 0.18-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology, the detector circuit exhibits a responsivity of 91 kV/W, a noise equivalent power of 0.5 pW/Hz, and a noise figure of 29 dB. The power dissipation of the detector is 75 μW. Reasonable agreement between simulations and measurements is obtained. T...

We report the results of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and atomic force microscopy measurements on amyloid fibrils formed by residues 10-39 of the yeast prion protein Ure2p (Ure2p(10)(-)(39)). Measurements of intermolecular (13)C-(13)C nuclear magnetic dipole-dipole couplings indicate that Ure2p(10)(-)(39) fibrils contain in-register parallel beta-sheets. Measurements of intermol...

Solid-state neutron detectors utilize latest advancement in semiconductors for development of efficient and economical neutron detectors. The recent shortage and price increase of He-3 resulted in more incentive to reach maturity of this technology and enable replacement of gas based neutron detectors. Solid state neutron detectors provide important advantages over current neutron detectors suc...

this study aimed to evaluate enamel roughness after adhesive removal using different burs and an er:yag laser.the buccal surfaces of forty human premolars were sealed by two layers of nail varnish, except for a circular area of 3 mm in diameter on the middle third. the enamel surfaces were initially subjected to profilometry analysis and four parameters of surface irregularity (ra, rq, rt and r...

Background: Radon concentration was measured in the soil and indoor of Amman and Al- Rusaifa cities in Jordan during summer season. Materials and Methods: The measurement was performed using time-integrated passive radon dosimeters, containing a solid state nuclear track plastic detector, commercially known as CR-39. Results: Radon concentration levels in the soil ranged from 2.8 ± 1...
