Forest growth studies begin to turn up the heat

Time to turn up the HEAT?

In a lifetime of observing and participating in politics, the world wide campaign by the international green movement (aided by the power-seeking UN bureaucracy) to monitor, control and tax every food, energy and transport business in the world is the most dangerous development I have ever seen. It has the potential to blight the lives and investments of the majority of Australians who are unab...

Turn up the heat on health professions education.

O ne year ago we posed three questions to address the potential contribution that QSHC might make to increase the momentum for healthcare quality improvement and patient safety. In response to an invitation to comment, this journal’s readers submitted dozens of responses that have served to guide the work of the journal. It is worth reexamining the three original questions one year later in the...

Mobile Processors Begin to Grow Up

A dvances in wireless technology have increased the demand for more functional mobile devices that can take advantage of these improved capabilities. Developing better processors to power these devices is a key part of meeting that demand. More functional processors enable devices to offer the complex communications features, PC-like programs, and other advanced applications that a growing numb...

Turn up the Heat! Awr Connectedtm: an Electrical-thermal Mmic Design Flow

Electronic circuit design typically begins with an assumption that the components are operating at ambient temperature. Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) design, in particular, violates this as the DC current fl owing through the ever-shrinking devices induces heating to two, three, or even four times greater temperature (in oC). Such a large departure from assumed room temperature...
