In this work, we present a novel organic complementary comparator constructed of Pentacene P-channel and Fullerene N-channel thin-film transistors. These organic semiconductor materials are chosen due to their popularity and high effect-field mobility. We fabricated two new organic fieldeffect transistor types, then we measured key parameters in order to create models being used in integrated c...

Composting (aerobic treatment of organic wastes) and digestion (anaerobic treatment of organicwastes combined with biogas production) are important waste management strategies with increasingsignificance in the European Union and Switzerland. Most of the compost produced is applied toagricultural soils, which hereby recycles nutrients and influences soil properties beneficially. How...

Nitrogen deposition is projected to increase rapidly in tropical ecosystems, but changes in soil-N-cycling processes in tropical ecosystems under elevated N input are less well understood. We used N-addition experiments to achieve N-enriched conditions in mixed-species, lowland and montane forests in Panama. Our objectives were to (1) assess changes in soil mineral N production (gross rates of ...

Nowadays, when fossil fuel recourses are decreasing rapidly, biodiesel fuels are becoming more and more interesting. Being environmentally beneficial, biodegradable, non-toxic and with low pollution emission makes biodiesel interesting for consumption. Various methods have been reported for biodiesel production such as microemulsification, pyrolysis and transesterification. Main problems of thi...

In an attempt to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition for the Middle Jurassic Baghamshah formation, samples collected from six outcrop sections along the Shotori swell were subjected to detailed geochemical analyses. Bulk geochemical and biological marker data indicate a logical trend of the variation of organic input, salinity, and oxicity within Baghamshah paleoenvironments across ...

Knowledge of production-system performance is largely based on observations at the experimental plot scale. Although yield gaps between plot-scale and field-scale research are widely acknowledged, their extent and persistence have not been experimentally examined in a systematic manner. At a site in southwest Michigan, we conducted a 6-y experiment to test the accuracy with which plot-scale cro...

Deep neural networks are an attractive tool for compressing the control policy lookup tables in systems such as Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS). It is vital to ensure safety of controllers via verification techniques. The problem analyzing ACAS Xu has motivated many successful network verifiers. These verifiers typically analyze internal computation decide whether a property regardin...
