— Various model parameter calculation equations of RF CMOS inductors are compared. The calculation equations are using as variables either Y, Z-parameters or S-parameters. Results are based on on-wafer RF S-parameter measurements of a 3.75 turn spiral inductor fabricated in AMIS 0.7 μm CMOS DM1P n-well technology. Results obtained with calculation equations for a differentially driven inductor ...

curcumin (cur) is the active curcuminoid with many physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological properties. solubility and stability of cur is the limiting factors for realizing its therapeutic potential. bovine β-casein is an abundant milk protein that is highly amphiphilic and self-assembles into stable micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution. β-casein nanoparticle can solubilize cur mo...

Books describing novel approaches to machine translation (MT) are always welcome. This is all the more so when the approach is one not covered by general MT surveys such as those in Hutchins and Somers (1992) or Arnold et al. (1994). Bonnie Jean Dorr's Machine Translation: A View from the Lexicon is a book with a novel approach. It describes the interlingual MT system UNITRAN rooted in two Mass...

the characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (fe-tf). addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

We develop a covariance-matrix-based uncertainty analysis for vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements. The covariance matrix captures all of the measurement uncertainties and statistical correlations between them. This allows the uncertainties of vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements to be propagated into the uncertainties of other quantities derived from s...
