The research has been carried out to integrate MOSFETs and bipolar transistors on SOI substrate for high performance mixed signal applications [1]. Jin Cai, et al [2] analyzed npn SiGe HBT on SOI substrate. The characteristics of SiGe HBT on SOI over temperature range of 27 to 330 degC are reported in [3]. The performance of SiGe HBT on bulk is reported in extreme environment (-230 to 120 degC)...

BACKGROUND The urea blood test (Ez-HBT) has been shown to compare favourably with the urea breath test in the diagnosis of active Helicobacter pylori infection. AIM To examine the performance characteristics of the Ez-HBT Helicobacter blood test in establishing success or failure of therapy in H. pylori-infected adults using the 13C urea breath test as the reference method. METHODS 13C urea...

I will present a review of the field of Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The “HBT puzzle” is explored in detail, emphasizing recent theoretical attempts to understand the persisting puzzle. I also present recent experimental results on azimuthally sensitive HBT, HBT of direct photons, and some surprises in the comparison of HBT results from p+p and Au+Au ...

This paper presents a systematic parameter extraction method for an HBT temperature-dependant equivalent-circuit DC model. A reliable procedure was developed for determining the HBT thermal resistance, requiring only forward Gummel data at different temperatures and collector-emitter bias voltages. The extraction method was applied to predict the DC characteristics of a 2x25 μm emitter-area InG...

-We present the first experimental results of the effects of 63MeV proton irradiation on SiGe HBT analog and RF circuits and passive elements. A SiGe HBT bandgap reference circuit, commonly used to generate stable on-chip voltages in analog IC’s, a SiGe HBT voltage controlled oscillator, an key building block for RF transceivers, and an LC bandpass filter routinely used in RF circuit design, we...

ABSTRACT Gymnogeophagus labiatus and G. lacustris have been long recognized as sister species exhibiting different ecological requirements. occurs in rock bottom rivers the hydrographic basins of Patos Lagoon (HBP) Tramandaí River (HBT), while is exclusive from sand coastal lagoons HBT. In this study, we used molecular markers, morphological measurements data nuptial male coloration to investig...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of three state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs); the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT, the Si/SiGe HBT and the InGaAs/InP HBT. Our aim in this paper is to find the potentials and limitations of these devices and analyze them under common Figure of Merit (FOM) definitions as well as to make a meaningful comparison which is necessary for a technol...

Decolorization of six synthetic dyes using three sources of fungal laccase with the origin of Aspergillus oryzae, Trametes versicolor, and Paraconiothyrium variabile was investigated. Among them, the enzyme from P. variabile was the most efficient which decolorized bromophenol blue (100%), commassie brilliant blue (91%), panseu-S (56%), Rimazol brilliant blue R (RBBR; 47%), Congo red (18.5%), a...

INTRODUCTION Improving access to HIV testing is a key priority in scaling up HIV treatment and prevention services. Home-based voluntary counselling and testing (HBT) as an approach to delivering wide-scale HIV testing is explored here. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of studies published between 1 January 2000 and 24 September 2012 that ...
