A physics-based multi-cell electro-thermal equivalent circuit model is described which is applied to the large-signal microwave characterization of AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs. This highly efficient model, which incorporates a new multi-finger electro-thermal model, has been used to perform DC, small-signal and load-pull characterization and investigate parameter-spreads due to fabrication process variati...

Neural investigations suggest that there are three possible core deficits in dyslexia: phonemic, grapho-phonemic, and graphemic. These investigations also suggest that the phonemic deficit resides in a different mode of speech perception which is based on allophonic (subphonemic) units rather than phonemic units. Here we review the results of remediation methods that tap into each of these core...

Electro-optical devices are increasingly used for military sea-, landand air applications to detect, recognize and track objects. Typically, these devices produce video information that is presented to an operator. However, with increasing availability of electro-optical devices the data volume is becoming very large, creating a rising need for automated analysis. In a military setting, this ty...

Energy consumption and water resource in the cultivation and harvesting steps still need to be minimized for the popularization of the microalgae-based products. An efficient electro-flocculation method for harvesting Dunaliella Salina integrated with local sand has been successfully applied. Sand was effective for speeding up the processes of flocculation and sedimentation of algal flocs and t...

We present a new optoelectronic architecture intended for chaotic optical intensity generation. The principle relies on an electro-optic nonlinear delay dynamics, where the nonlinearity originates from an integrated four-wave optical interferometer, involving two independent electro-optic modulation inputs. Consequently, the setup involves both two-dimensional nonlinearity and dual-delay feedba...

Unexpected yet highly remarkable and intriguing observations of the polymer-enhanced electro-catalytic activity of the Pt nanoparticles for electro-oxidations of both methanol and formic acid were reported. In situ FTIR investigation suggests strongly that the observed activity enhancements are highly likely due to the PVP-induced additional reaction pathways. These observations may open up a n...

This study investigated the use of NiSe2/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite catalysts for photocatalytic degradation RhB and BPA pollutants. Samples pure NiSe2, Ag3PO4, composites with varying NiSe2 (10%, 20%, 30%) proportions were synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. The 20% composite showed greatest efficiency both degradation. also examined impact various factors, such as initial concentration dye, ...

The electrokinetic remediation of an agricultural soil contaminated with heavy metals was studied using organic acids as facilitating agents. unenhanced treatment deionized water processing fluid did not show any significant mobilization and removal due to the low solubilization precipitation at high pH conditions close cathode. EDTA citric acid 0.1 M were used agents favor dissolution transpor...
