Ti interdiffusion from the Ti/Pt/Au gate into the AlGaAs Schottky barrier layer (SBL) of 0.25-lm GaAs Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistors (PHEMTs) has been studied using the accelerated life testing technique. Based on measurements and modeling, analytical expressions for quantitative correlation between the positive pinch-off voltage (VP) shift as well as the saturation drain curr...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...

A pH indicator and dextrose were incorporated into growth media as a modification of microbial microtiter methods for determining the minimal inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial drugs. This modified method was tested to evaluate the ease of reading end points by changes in the indicator color. Application of the procedure to two media, three indicators, and eight species of bacteria indic...

BACKGROUND A recent review highlighted important relationships between combinations of movement behaviours (i.e., sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity) and health indicators among school-aged children and youth (aged 5-17 years). It is unclear whether similar relationships exist in younger children. Therefore, this review sought to examine the relationships between combinations of ...

Land surface temperature (LST) is used as an indicator for land temperature.Previous research demonstrates a strong correlation between urban growth andland temperature. The rising of will lead to heatisland if there are no preventative precautions done. Due the area's rapidurbanisation, this study focus on Kuching City. Matang Jaya, Tabuan Jaya,Satok, and Batu Kawa were chosen case studies. Th...

The so-called P ¤ model is frequently used or referred to in discussions of monetary targeting. This gives the impression that the P ¤ model might provide some rationale for monetary targeting or for the monetary reference value used by the Eurosystem. The P ¤ model implies that in‡ation is determined by the level of and changes in the “real money gap” (the deviation of current real balances fr...

We examined experiencing divine love as an indicator of affective spiritual growth in a prospective cohort of 200 patients surviving cardiac surgery. These patients previously completed two-wave preoperative interviews when standardized cardiac surgery data were also collected. The information included left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association Classification, baseline healt...

this paper tries to measure and analyze the trend of indicators of labor and capital productivity as well as total factor productivity (tfp) in the economic sectors introduced in the 4th five-year-development plan for the period within 1971-2003. according to the results, the productivity indicator throughout iran has increased 0/9% on average annually and the highest growth has been in the tel...
