A generic system dynamics watershed (GSDW) model is developed and applied to five reconstructed watersheds located in the Athabasca mining basin, Alberta, Canada, and one natural watershed (boreal forest) located in Saskatchewan, Canada, to simulate various hydrological processes in reconstructed and natural watersheds. This paper uses the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute relati...

Pragmatically related abilities were studied in three clinical groups of children from 5 to 11 years of age; children with cerebral palsy (CP; n=10), children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus (SBH; n=10) and children with pragmatic language impairment (PLI; n=10), in order to explore pragmatic abilities within each group. A range of pragmatic, linguistic and cognitive assessments were perfor...

Formation of low-resistance metal contacts is the biggest challenge that masks the intrinsic exceptional electronic properties of two dimensional WSe2 devices. We present the first comparative study of the interfacial properties between monolayer/bilayer (ML/BL) WSe2 and Sc, Al, Ag, Au, Pd, and Pt contacts by using ab initio energy band calculations with inclusion of the spin-orbital coupling (...

This work by Pe'er et al. [5] presents an algorithm for reconstructing a target sequence using the SBH technology integrated with known similar reference sequence. The goal is to get the best reconstruction, given these two sources of information. Some motivation for using the method: tests are performed separately for each mutation with different technologies. Since we know the sequence of the...

Due to Fermi level pinning (FLP), metal-semiconductor contact interfaces result in a Schottky barrier height (SBH), which is usually difficult tune. This makes it challenging efficiently inject both electrons and holes using the same metal - an essential requirement for several applications, including light-emitting devices complementary logic. Interestingly, modulating SBH Schottky-Mott limit ...

TiO2+Pt plasmonic solids with 1 wt% Pt and different TiO2 supports (anatase nanoparticles (TNP), polycrystalline nanorods (a-TNR) single-crystal anatase (TNR)) were synthesized using the wet impregnation technique tested as photo, thermal photothermal catalysts in gas-solid gas-liquid-solid reactions. Due to charges of support surfaces, particles sizes, crystallinities degrees interaction forme...

With the advent of global warming and energy crises, developing nanomaterial technologies into various nanodevices for energy harvesting has attracted a lot of attentions recently. Of which, nanogenerators by taking advantage of piezoelectric properties of nanowires (NWs) such as wurtzite compound semiconductors of ZnO [1], GaN [2], InN [3] and CdSe [4] can convert mechanical energy into electr...
