−Finite element analysis is used to compute the current distribution of the human cochlea during cochlear implant electrical stimulation. Genetic algorithms are then applied in conjunction with the finite element analysis to optimize the shape of cochlear implant electrode array based on the energy deposited in the spiral ganglion cells region. The goal is to improve the focus of electrical ene...

In [1] the authors present a charge/flux formulation of the equations of memristive circuits which seemingly show that the memristor should not be considered as a dynamic circuit element. We show in this Letter that the authors' approach implicitly reduces the dynamic analysis to a certain subset of the state space in a way such that the dynamic contribution of memristors is hidden. This reduct...

As a potential alternative to the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, many researchers are focusing on carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) for future electronics. However, existing studies report the advantages of CNFETs over CMOS at the device level by using small-scale circuits, or over outdated CMOS technology. In this paper, we propose a methodology of a...
