The MAX1464 can be easily configured to generate constant current excitation for sensors that is ratiometric to the power supply voltage for resistive transducer applications. Applications utilizing sensing elements with high temperature coefficients, TCR, such as piezo resistive bridges, RTDs, etc. are typically implemented with constant current excitation. This application note suggests a sim...

How rising temperature and changing solar radiation affect evaporation of natural water bodies remains poor understood. In this study, evaporation from Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km) freshwater lake in the Yangtze River Delta, China, was simulated by the CLM4-LISSS offline lake model and estimated with pan evaporation data. Bothmethods were calibrated against lake evaporation measured direc...

Organolead halide perovskites are used for low-operating-voltage multilevel resistive switching. Ag/CH3 NH3 PbI3 /Pt cells exhibit electroforming-free resistive switching at an electric field of 3.25 × 10(3) V cm(-1) for four distinguishable ON-state resistance levels. The migration of iodine interstitials and vacancies with low activation energies is responsible for the low-electric-field resi...

The article focuses on the defects modeling of secured CMOS circuits, implemented in Quasi Delay Insensitive (QDI). We analyze the static and the dynamic behavior of resistive bridges as a function of its unpredictable resistance. SPICE simulations were performed for 45nm CMOS technology. Simulation results are given for the conditions of defect detection and for the delay induced by the resist...

OBJECTIVES There are conflicting data regarding the use of some measured indices by Doppler ultrasound such as the resistive index and the pulsatility index in predicting renal allograft dysfunction. This study sought to evaluate the association of early postoperative Doppler indices and 3-month serum creatinine levels in renal transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a 1-year peri...

money and capital market are among financial institutions that have significant role in economy, and coordinating synergic relationship between them could cause economic growth. the supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran, ayatollah sayed ali khamenei, introduced the concept of resistive economy and communicated its executive policies in 1389. resistive economy is among those models whic...

UNLABELLED Serious adverse outcomes from perioperative hypothermia are well documented. Consequently, intraoperative warming has become routine. We thus evaluated the efficacy of a novel, nondisposable carbon-fiber resistive-heating system. Twenty-four patients undergoing open abdominal surgery lasting approximately 4 h were randomly assigned to warming with 1) a full-length circulating water m...

We demonstrate nonvolatile resistive switching in single crystalline ZnO nanowires with high ON/OFF ratios and low threshold voltages. Unlike the mechanism of continuous metal filament formation along grain boundaries in polycrystalline films, the resistive switching in single crystalline ZnO nanowires is speculated to be induced by the formation of a metal island chain on the nanowire surface....

BACKGROUND Facial coverings (e.g., balaclavas, niqabs, medical/surgical masks, respirators, etc.), that impose low levels of airflow resistive loads, are worn by millions of pregnant women worldwide, but little data exist addressing their impact on pregnancy-associated cardiovascular and pulmonary responses. METHODS 16 pregnant and 16 non-pregnant women were monitored physiologically (heart r...
