-Silicon (Si) Gate-All-Around (GAA) MOSFETs offers full electrostatic control over the gate which makes them promising candidates for the next generation complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (CMOS) devices. Due to variations in the growth condition, the cross-section of GAA MOSFETs is often elliptical instead of being perfectly circular. This elliptical cross section...

BACKGROUND Caesarean section at full cervical dilatation has many implications for maternal and neonatal morbidity as well as subsequent pregnancy outcomes. However, increasing trends are reported internationally for second-stage caesarean delivery. OBJECTIVES To review the rate and indication for a caesarean section at full dilatation over a 5-year period at a tertiary referral obstetric cen...

We here report the case of a G2P2 patient hospitalized for premature labor at 38w+3d. Phisical examination showed full cervical dilation, water breaking and fixed face presentation. Fetal heart rate tracing was evaluated as normal. The patient underwent cesarean section due to face presentation. Physical examination of the newborn in the delivery room revealed female infant, PN = 3.7Kg, with re...

We calculate the electromagnetic absorption cross section of long and narrow nanowires, in the so-called quasi-1D limit. We consider only two transverse bands and compute the dipole absorption cross section taking into account quasiparticle transitions from negative to positive energy eigenstates of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian. The presence of the zero energy (Majorana) state manifests...

We present NLO QCD results for Wbb̄ and Zbb̄ production at the Tevatron including full bottomquark mass effects. We study the impact of QCD corrections on both total cross-section and invariant mass distribution of the bottom-quark pair. Including NLO QCD corrections greatly reduces the dependence of the tree-level cross-section on the renormalization and factorization scales. We also compare our...

We extend the design of radially symmetric invisibility cloaks through transformation optics as proposed by Pendry et al. [Science 312, 1780 (2006)] to coated cylinders of an arbitrary cross section. The validity of our Fourier-based approach is confirmed by both analytical and numerical results for a cloak displaying a non-convex cross section of varying thickness. In the former case, we evalu...

We consider a mixture of a diatomic photolytic precursor AX and a reagent BC that undergoes the photoinitiated reaction AX+ hu+A+X followed by A+BC+AB+C. In the limit that AX is stationary relative to BC, we show that the threedimensional velocity distribution of the AB product in a specified quantum state can be related to the differential cross section of the A+BC reaction by a simple, invert...

We present a comprehensive analysis of double-resonant Raman scattering in graphite and derive an analytical expression for the Raman cross section of the D mode in one dimension. The extension to two dimensions does not change the double-resonant phonon wave vectors. In the full integration of the Raman cross section, the contributions by phonons from exactly the K point cancel due to destruct...

An experimental method to determine the (n,γ) cross section of short-living s-process branching points using data of the inverse (γ ,n) reaction is presented. The method was used to observe the branching point nucleus 95Zr because the elemental abundance patterns corresponding to this branching point cannot be reproduced by full stellar models and a possible error source is the neutron capture ...

The three-dimensional Thomas-Fermi (TF) model is used to simulate the variation of the d+d → t + p cross-section at low impact energies, when the target deuterium nucleus is embedded in metallic or insulator environments. Comparison of the computational results to recent experiments demonstrates that even though the TF model can explain some increase in the low energy cross section for metallic...
