A simple yet realistic MOS model, namely the a-power law MOS model, is introduced to include the carrier velocity saturation effect, which becomes eminent in short-channel MOSFET’s. The model is an extension of Shockley’s square-law MOS model in the saturation region. Since the model is simple, it can be applied for handling MOSFET circuits analytically and can predict the circuit behavior in t...

Forty hearing-impaired participants were fitted with the ReSound ED2 two-channel two-memory wide dynamic range compression hearing aid. After participants had worn the ED2 for six months, the final settings for crossover frequency (CF) and compression ratio (CR) for each channel were documented. There were statistically significant correlations between the slope of hearing loss and (he programm...

Rare-earth-ion-doped monoclinic potassium double tungstates KY(WO4)2, KGd(WO4)2, and KLu(WO4)2 are excellent host materials for solid-state lasers [1]. High-quality KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides were grown and laser operation was demonstrated for the first time [2]. Co-doping a KY(WO4)2 layer with Gd 3+ and Lu 3+ ions allows for lattice-matched layers with increased refractive index contrast with...

Canals are major water conveyance systems used to deliver water to irrigation fields. Due to wide variability of local soil conditions, the stability of designed channel section may not be ensured while implementing the optimal canal sections in the real field. Hence, incorporation of slope stability condition is very helpful to provide stable irrigation channels. This paper presents Particle S...

Photoinduced fragmentation in methyldithiane–benzaldehyde adduct, which is externally sensitized by electron transfer sensitizers such as benzophenone, shows a peculiar Stern–Volmer quenching dependence when quenched by diethyl sulfide or DABCO. At lower diethyl sulfide concentration not only negative curvature but also negative slope is observed. At higher concentration the slope of the plot i...

Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors ~MOSFETs! with a wire-channel and wrap-around-gate ~WW! structure were fabricated using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching. The smallest devices have a 35 nm channel width, a 50 nm channel thickness, and a 70 nm channel length. Measurements showed that as the channel width of WW MOSFETs decreased from 75 to 35 nm short channel e...

the intakes usually have been used in water distribution networks, irrigation channels, sewage networks, and the water/wastewater treatment facilities, etc. lack of sediment control entered to the intake channel is the main reason of entering sediments to the installation systems, which makes many problems for different parts. due to suspended particles in water, the facilities used such as pum...

The effect of pH on the activation of a Ca-activated K+ [K(Ca)] channel from rat skeletal muscle incorporated into planar lipid bilayers was studied. Experiments were done at different intracellular Ca2+ and proton concentrations. Changes in pH modified channel kinetics only from the Ca-sensitive face of the channel. At constant Ca2+ concentration, intracellular acidification induced a decrease...

Determine the stable channel geometry of the river is one of the most important topics in river engineering. Various relationships (based on statistical and theoretical methods) to predict the stable channels dimensions are expressed by many scientists. In this study, three Support Vector Machines (SVM) models are designed to predict width (w), depth (h) and slope (s) of stable channel. 85 cros...

Miniature endplate currents (MEPCs) recorded from mouse diaphragms with a point voltage clamp, without inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and in the absence of any drug, showed in their decay phase consistent deviations from an exponential time course, consisting of (a) "curvature," a progressive increase of decay rate during most of the decay phase, followed by (b) "late" tails. Both ph...
