In the field of Natural Language Processing, in order to work out a thematic representation system of general knowledge, methods relying on thesaurus have been used for about twenty years. A thesaurus consists of a set of concepts which define a generating system of a vector space modelling general knowledge. These concepts, often organized in a treelike structure, constitute a fundamental, but...

Software project scope verification is a very important process in project scope management and it needs to be performed properly and thoroughly so as to avoid project rework and scope creep. Moreover, software scope verification is crucial in the process of delivering exactly what the customer requested and minimizing project scope changes. Well defined software scope eases the process of scop...

Breakdown is one of main failure mechanisms that limit write endurance ferroelectric devices using hafnium oxide-based materials. In this study, we investigate the gate current and breakdown characteristics Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/Si field-effect transistors (FeFETs) by carrier separation measurements to analyze electron hole leakage currents during time-dependent dielectric (TDDB) tests. Rapidly increasi...

Continual synthesis and breakdown or remodeling of proteins (also called protein turnover) is a principal characteristic of protein metabolism. During animal production, the net differences between synthesis and breakdown represent the actual marketable muscle foods. Because protein synthesis is a highly end-ergonic and protein breakdown is metabolic energy dependent, efficiency of production c...

The breakdown characteristics of an avalanche photodiode (APD) are generally assessed by examining the steepness of the breakdown-probability curve as a function of the normalized excess breakdown voltage, ∆V /V BR , which is the voltage beyond the breakdown voltage, V BR , normalized by the breakdown voltage. This metric indicates how quickly the transition from stable operation (finite gain) ...

Typical blocking I–V characteristics are shown and analyzed for PN junctions exhibiting a breakdown region above 1000 V from commercial diodes and power MOSFETs. The leakage reverse current of PN junctions from commercial silicon devices available at this time has a flowing component at the semiconductor–passivant material interface around the junction edge. Part of the plotted experimental cur...

Nutrient enrichment of detritus-based streams increases detrital resource quality for consumers and stimulates breakdown rates of particulate organic carbon (C). The relative importance of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (N) vs. phosphorus (P) for detrital quality and their effects on microbial- vs. detritivore-mediated detrital breakdown are poorly understood. We tested effects of experimental N ...

We discuss the assessment of breakdown probabilities by means of the up-and-down method. The exact maximum likelihood estimates for a number of response patterns are calculated for three different distribution functions and are compared with the estimates corresponding to the normal distribution. Estimates of the 50% probability breakdown voltage and of the scale parameter of the breakdown prob...

It has been reported that breakdown voltage is affected by several factors, such as moisture, particles, acidity, and pressure [3,4,5,6]. The objective of this study is to investigate the dependency of the breakdown voltage on moisture using a representative set of oil samples and to point out the advantages of online moisture measurement. The Effect of Moisture on the Breakdown Voltage of Tran...
