Nanowire field-effect transistors (NW-FETs) are emerging as powerful sensors for detection of chemical/biological species with various attractive features including high sensitivity and direct electrical readout. Yet to date there have been limited systematic studies addressing how the fundamental factors of devices affect their sensitivity. Here we demonstrate that the sensitivity of NW-FET se...

The Suspended Gate Field Effect Transistor (SG-FET) appears to have the potential to replace traditional FETs in sleep mode circuits, due to its abrupt switching enabled by electromechanical instability at a certain threshold voltage and its ultra low “off” current (Ioff). This paper presents a preliminary assessment of the SG-FET potential if utilized as sleep transistor in real applications, ...

We study the charge profile of a C60-FET (field effect transistor) as used in the experiments of Schön, Kloc and Batlogg. Using a tight-binding model, we calculate the charge profile treating the Coulomb interaction in a mean-field approximation. At low doping, the charge profile behaves similarly to the case of a continuous space-charge layer and becomes confined to a single interface layer fo...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

The development of conductivity-modulated field-effect transistors, FETs, makes available to the system designer another solid-state device that can be used to implement power switching control. This paper reviews differences between the standard and the newly developed FET. It shows the significant advantages that the conductivitymodulated FET has over the standard FET. Several applications ar...

The FET protein family includes FUS, EWS and TAF15 proteins, all of which have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Here, we show that a reduction of FET proteins in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans causes synaptic dysfunction accompanied by impaired motor phenotypes. FET proteins are also involved in the regulation of lifes...

AIM MRI and PET with 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine (FET) have been increasingly used to evaluate patients with gliomas. Our purpose was to assess the additive value of MR spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion imaging and dynamic FET-PET for glioma grading. PATIENTS, METHODS 38 patients (42 ± 15 aged, F/M: 0.46) with untreated histologically proven brain gliomas were included. All underwent conventional M...

Recent dramatic increases in success rates with frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) are encouraging, as are numerous findings of several reduced risks with FET when compared with fresh transfer. These reduced risks include low birth weight and prematurity, among others. However, FET is also associated with increased risks of macrosomia and large for gestational age. There have been reports of g...
