In this study, after numerical simulation, a novel snapback-free Shorted-Anode Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (SA-IGBT) with Multiple p+/n Collector is proposed and investigated. This structure consists of P+ pillars located on the side collector. The provide high carrier injection efficiency increase anode resistance during turn-on transient, eliminate snapback phenomenon, above all, they a...

Tamarind seeds are not consumed despite their high antioxidative activity. In this study, 0-10% tamarind seed powder (TSP) was incorporated into mango juice and cookies. Total phenolics (Folin-Ciocalteu assay), antioxidant activity (2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay), flavonoid (aluminum chloride assay), condensed tannins content (Vanillin-HCl assay), and consumer ac...

A new anode/cathode design and process concept for thin wafer based silicon devices is proposed to achieve the goal of providing improved control for activating the injecting layer and forming a good ohmic contact. The concept is based on laser annealing in a melting regime of a p-type anode layer covered with a thin titanium layer with high melting temperature and high laser light absorption. ...

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has launched a competition for a new mobile communications standard designed to provide better performance than the current GSM standard. This standard is to be called AMR for Adaptive Multi-Rate: the source and channel coding rates can be adapted depending on the state of the channel, thus providing optimal balance between them at any ...

Introduction. Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor, with a still not well studied tumorigenesis process, and non-specific symptoms that cause a delay in the diagnosis and consequently a worst outcome for the patient. Videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of patients with small bowel diseases. Surgery is the treat...

Concept maps can be generated manually or automatically. It is important to recognize differences of the two types of concept maps. The automatically generated concept maps are dynamic, interactive, and full of associations between the terms on the maps and the underlying documents. Through a specific concept mapping system, Visual Concept Explorer (VCE), this paper discusses how automatically ...
