The story behind microelectronic circuits

1 . Review : Active Devices in Microelectronic Circuits

The purpose of this part of the notes is to briefly review some of the prerequisite course materials related to characteristics of active device in microelectronic circuits. We summarize dc, large-signal and small-signal (incremental) models of two major types of active devices used in analog, digital and mixed-mode integrated circuits: metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET...

Risk-taking: behind the warrior gene story.

In 2006, the monoamine oxidase-A gene was widely reported in the media as being associated with risk-taking and aggressive behaviour in Māori. We examine the scientific evidence underlying this claim. Whilst there is credible evidence for a contribution of a monoamine oxidase-A genetic variant to antisocial behaviour in Caucasians, there is no direct evidence to support such an association in M...

Atrial Fibrillation in Athletes - The Story Behind The Running Hearts.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice but the mechanisms underlying the initiation and maintenance of AF are yet to be clarified. It is wellknown that regular exercise is beneficial to health and reduces the risks of cardiovascular diseases. However, recent studies suggest that long-term endurance exercise, including running, swimming, rowing ...
