In this article, we propose a Flexure-FET (flexure sensitive field effect transistor) ultrasensitive biosensor that utilizes the nonlinear electromechanical coupling to overcome the fundamental sensitivity limits of classical electrical or mechanical nanoscale biosensors. The stiffness of the suspended gate of Flexure-FET changes with the capture of the target biomolecules, and the correspondin...

FET family proteins consist of fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS/TLS), Ewing's sarcoma (EWS), and TATA-binding protein-associated factor 15 (TAF15). Mutations in the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1), TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), and FET family proteins are associated with the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Th...

The current paper presents a solution of the Model Transformations for Program Understanding: A Reengineering Challenge case study of the Transformation Tool Contest 2011, using the Viatra2 model transformation tool. This work was partially supported by ICT FP7 SecureChange (ICT-FET-231101) European Project.

With this paper we want to present a black-box model, that can be applied to a vast number of RF electron devices (e.g. FET). We will show that an analytical Volterra series approximation of the nonlinear behavior time-dependent model of an electron device can be built using a neural network and its parameters, once the proper training data are given. Key-Words: black-box model, nonlinearity, V...

Many transcribed RNAs are non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), which bind to complementary sequences on messenger RNAs to regulate the translation efficacy. Therefore, identifying the miRNAs expressed in cells/organisms aids in understanding genetic control in cells/organisms. In this report, we determined the binding of oligonucleotides to a receptor-modified silicon nanowire field-e...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to assess predictors of inadequate endometrial cavity thickness (ECT), defined as < 8 mm, in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study at an academic fertility center including 274 women who underwent their first endometrial preparation with estradiol for autologous FET in our center from 2001-2009. Multi...

In this paper, we describe the development of device models and tools for the design of the carbon nanotube FET (CNFET). Both HSPICE model and Verilog-A model for CNFET including typical device/circuit level non-idealities have been developed. They can be used for design of nanotube transistor circuits as well as to study performance benefits of the new transistor.

A scalable lumped element equivalent circuit of a pre-matched, multifinger FET cell is proposed. The model is derived using a global modeling approach that exploits both circuit and full wave analysis, accounting for phase delay along gate and drain manifolds. The availability of such model is useful to perform fast performance analysis and optimization of the pre-matching network.

We report the fabrication and electron transport investigation of individual local-gated single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FET) with high yield using a semiconducting-rich carbon nanotube solution. The individual semiconducting nanotubes were assembled at the selected position of the circuit via dielectrophoresis. Detailed electron transport investigations on 70 devic...
