⎯A novel CMOS atto-ampere current mirror (AACM) is proposed which reaches the minimum yet reported current range of 0.4 aA. Operation of this circuit is based on the source voltage modulation instead of the conventionally used gate voltage modulation which interestingly prevents usage of commonly required voltage shifting in those circuits. The proposed circuit has a simple structure prohibitin...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are used for solving the intractable engineering problems. In this study, it is aimed to study the application of artificial bee colony algorithm for predicting the performance of circular diamond saw in sawing of hard rocks. For this purpose, varieties of fourteen types of hard rocks were cut in laboratory using a cutting rig at 5 mm depth of cut, 40 cm/...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a conserved cellular fuel gauge previously implicated in aging. In this issue, Lu et al. (2011) describe how age-related deacetylation of Sip2, a subunit of the AMPK homolog in yeast, acts as a life span clock that can be wound backward or forward to modulate longevity.

In this thesis, we study degenerate Monge-Ampere equations over projective manifolds. The main degeneration is on the cohomology class which is Kähler in classic cases. Our main results concern the case when this class is semi-ample and big with certain generalization to more general cases. Two kinds of arguments are applied to study this problem. One is maximum principle type of argument. The ...

The Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP; Payne, Cheng, Govorun, & Stewart, 2005) is an important tool in implicit social cognition research, but little is known about its underlying mechanisms. This paper investigates whether, as the name implies, affect-based processes really underlie the AMP. We used a modified AMP that enabled us to separate the influence of affective and nonaffective proce...

The High Resistance Compensation Method (HRCM) was developed to measure the electrode potentials of high resistance electrodes. It is essentially similar to the classical Poggendorff compensation method, but instead of an ampere-meter, the pH-meter was introduced as an indicator of complete compensation. The method was applied to measurements of the electrode potentials of a single crystal ruti...

Power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) is a simulation tool that can support electrical systems engineers in the development and experimental validation of novel, advanced control schemes that ensure the robustness and resiliency of electrical grids that have high penetrations of low-inertia variable renewable resources. With PHIL, the impact of the device under test on a generation or distribution ...

We consider the following obstacle problem for Monge-Ampere equation detDu = fχ{u>0} and discuss the regularity of the free boundary ∂{u = 0}. We prove that ∂{u = 0} is C if f is bounded away from 0 and ∞, and it is C if f ≡ 1.
