In this paper, a novel device architecture called the fully depleted silicon-on-insulator field-effect transistor with block oxide (bFDSOI-FET) is proposed to investigate the influence of block oxide height (HBO) on the electrical characteristics. According to the two-dimensional (2-D) simulation results, the characteristics of the proposed structure are similar to those of the ultra-thin (UT) ...

Randomly distributed offset charges affect the nonlinear current-voltage property via the fluctuation of the threshold voltage above which the current flows in an array of a Coulomb blockade (CB). We analytically derive the distribution of the threshold voltage for a model of one-dimensional locally coupled CB arrays and propose a general relationship between conductance and distribution. In ad...

The purpose of this study was to compare traditional and swing blocking techniques on center of mass (COM) projectile motion and effective blocking area in nine healthy Division I female volleyball players. Two high-definition (1080 p) video cameras (60 Hz) were used to collect two-dimensional variables from two separate views. One was placed perpendicular to the plane of the net and the other ...

E-plane split-block waveguide construction is well suited to many millimeter-wave components, including power dividers, frequency multipliers, and single-ended, balanced and sideband-separating mixers [1]. Recent ALMA memos have described quadrature hybrids [2] and a matched power divider [3] suitable for split-block construction. This memo describes four additional waveguide elements which can...

The purpose of this study was to compare a trochlear block recession to a rotating dome trochleoplasty, a novel technique for the correction of patellar luxation in small animals. Twenty-eight limbs were used from 14 feline cadavers. With the stifles in flexion and extension, computed tomography was utilized to compare width and depth of the trochlea, medial trochlear ridge height, trochlear ar...

We induced spinal anaesthesia in 100 women presenting for elective Caesarean section with the mother in the right lateral position. Patients were allocated randomly to have the side eye of the 24-gauge Sprotte spinal needle pointing in one of four directions: group A, cephalad; group B, right lateral; group C, left lateral; group D, caudad. Isobaric bupivacaine 0.5% (2.5 ml) was injected over 3...

n this study, two silicon wafer substrates were coated with vertially aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) “forests” nd were used for pool boiling studies. The MWCNT forests (9 nd 25 m in height) were synthesized on the silicon wafer subtrates using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The subtrates were clamped on a cylindrical copper block with embeded cartridge heaters. The heat ...

The Zwack–Okossi vorticity tendency equation was used to calculate 500-hPa height tendencies in two intensifying Southern Hemisphere blocking events. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction– National Center for Atmospheric Research gridded reanalyses were used to make each of these calculations. The block intensification period for each event was associated with a deepening surface cy...

In this study, an individual tree crown ratio (CR) model was developed with a data set from a total of 3134 Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica) trees within 112 sample plots allocated in Wangqing Forest Bureau of northeast China. Because of high correlation among the observations taken from the same sampling plots, the random effects at levels of both blocks defined as stands that have different ...

INTRODUCTION The study compared spinal anesthesia using intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine between height and weight adjusted dose and fixed dose during caesarean section. METHODS A hundred parturients, who had given their consent and were scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were randomly assigned into two groups. We adjusted the intrathecal dose of heavy bupivac...
