An observation was made in this research regarding the fact that the signatures of isotropic charge distributions in silicon nanowire transistors (NWT) displayed identical characteristics to the golden ratio (Phi). In turn, a simulation was conducted regarding ultra-scaled n-type Si (NWT) with respect to the 5-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) application. The results reveal tha...

Title of Document: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TUBULAR EVAPORATOR UTILIZING HIGH ASPECT RATIO MANIFOLD MICROCHANNELS Vibhash Chandra Jha, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Michael Ohadi, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Heat recovery using absorption chillers has not been economical for small scale applications due to high capital requirements and heavy weight/volume as deterring facto...

The ratio of the length of the 2nd and 4th digits of the hand is an indicator of prenatal testosterone exposure and has been shown to be a within sex correlate of various abilities, such as visuo-spatial processing in men. However, a number of studies report such links also exist in women, whilst others show no link for either sex. Using a unique paradigm that sub-divides visuo-spatial processi...

Diagnostic testing can be used to discriminate subjects with a target disorder from subjects without it. Several indicators of diagnostic performance have been proposed, such as sensitivity and specificity. Using paired indicators can be a disadvantage in comparing the performance of competing tests, especially if one test does not outperform the other on both indicators. Here we propose the us...

Background Vitamin K compounded oral solution costs significantly less on a per-milligram basis compared with tablet formulations. Current literature has shown that international normalized ratio (INR) lowering in the reversal of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) occurs to a similar degree when using vitamin K oral solution compared with tablet formulations. Objective To compare drug spending on v...

Most wings and fins found in nature tend to be of low or moderate aspect-ratio. However, most experimental and numerical studies in this area of bio-hydrodynamics have focused on examining large or infinite aspect-ratio flapping foils. In the current study, an efficient, finite-difference based immersed boundary solver for computing flows with moving immersed boundaries has been developed to ex...

in this paper disposition effect, selling winners and holding losers, in tehran stock exchange (tse) investment companies and its effect on these companies’ cash flows and performance using odean model has been reviewed and investigated. research findings show that the realized profit ratio is %19 higher than the realized loss ratio in all of investment companies in tse. this mean there is a be...

Centrifugal Compressors play an essential role in oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Their extensive usage is due to their smooth operation and high reliability compared to other other compressor types. One of the main characteristics of these turbomachines is their performance curve, which is an important criterion for selecting the appropriate compressor for a desired working condition. I...

Effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in Indian peafowl were investigated at PunjabWildlife Research Institute, Gatwala Faisalabad. Research was conducted from May through August 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. The sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.Maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (...
