The current research aimed to determine the influence of different doses of exposure to tartrazine on levels of hyperactivity, anxiety, depression and anti-social behaviours in rats. Forty five weanling male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 15, divided on 2 replicates and administered our treatment daily in drinking water at different concentrations; 0, 1% and 2.5% for a 16 w...

Florida leads the commercial production of caladiums, a popular ornamental. In Florida, root-knot, sting, and stubby root nematodes are found in caladium fields. Root-knot considered most important all pests caladiums that grown sand. This publication will help growers understand what plant-parasitic current nematode management strategies for industry.

We present a method to study current paths through quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). The temperature dependence of the current is measured at a fixed voltage. At low temperatures we find activation energies that correspond to the energy difference between the injector ground state and the upper laser level. At higher temperatures additional paths with larger activation energies are found. Applicat...

This paper presents an interleaved class E2 dc/dc converter. In the proposed converter, N class E2 dc/dc converters are connected in parallel at the class E rectifier. The proposed converter is suitable to the low-voltage/high-current applications. Since less current flows through the each converter, the amount of the power losses on the parasitic resistances are also reduced. In addition, the ...

This paper presents new structures of circuits: adders and D triggers based on the current mode gates – digital elements operating with constant, continuous power supply current. Current mode circuits do not perturb the analogue part of the chip integrated on the same die through the parasitic coupling across the substrate with the same strength as voltage mode circuits do. Designed circuits ar...

As Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) rapidly advances to the vanguard of ULSI technology, compact model parameter extraction for SOI still relies on indirect methods. Floating body (FB) device parameter extraction is currently based on body contact (BC) device parameter extraction. However, the underlying physics of these two devices is quite different, and therefore, have distinctively different char...
