The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure multi-segment gate (MSG) CNTFET. Band to ...

introduction: there are many advantages in breastfeeding of infants. the impact of fasting of breastfeeding mothers during ramadan, on their exclusively breastfed infants’ growth, is still unclear. the objective of this study is to determine the impact of maternal ramadan fasting on growth parameters of exclusively breastfed infants. methods: this cohort study was conducted on 55 healthy, exclu...

For the purposes of this note, I will assume that the Gricean account of scalar implicature is correct. I admit that I don’t have any qualms about making this assumption, since as far as I can tell, the Gricean account is the only game in town. But I thought I should mention it. With this preliminary out of the way, let us proceed to the problem area, and start by considering the following exam...

Motivations of CMOS technology scaling are higher speed of operation, benefit of integration density and lower power dissipation. CMOS technology has crossed many hurdles over the past four decades. The aggressive technology scaling is causing device parameter variations, which is more severe than earlier. This paper carries out variability analysis of various popular exclusive-OR circuits at t...

A fault fj is said to dominate another fault fi if all tests for fi detect fj . When two faults dominate each other, they are called equivalent. Dominance and equivalence relations among faults around a Boolean gate are called \structural" and are used for fault collapsing in large circuits. Some fault equivalences, that cannot be determined by the structural analysis, can be found by \function...

Among the many force s to which hydraulic structures are exposed to, the forces induced by cavitation incident are of typical hydrodynamic unknown forces. The aim of this study is to define these forces as coupled fluid-structure interaction under two dynamic effects. The first dynamic effect which incorporates facilities for dealing with cavitation fluid is based on the appearance and bursting...

A shift register of N bit length can be conngured (for most N) with a single exclusive-OR gate to generate periodically 2 N ? 1 diierent states. As each state is directly related to the number of clock pulses received, such a circuit can be used as a counter. The sequential readout of the bit pattern requires nearly no additional logic and many 'shift counters' can easily be daisy chained durin...
