Data are compiled on emigrating African physicians from 16 receiving Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) coun...

Statistical variability and reliability due to random discrete dopants (RDD), gate line edge roughness (LER), metal gate granularity and N/PBIT associated random charge trapping has limited the progressive scaling of bulk planar MOSFETs beyond the 20-­‐nm technology ...

Elite migration and brain drain trend in Iran have undergone a dramatic ascent in the past few decades while we are seriously in need of educated manpower to help accomplish the 20-year national vision.

Abstract: In recent years deadly earthquakes in seismic areas have caused special concerns regarding liquefaction phenomenon by researchers and specialists. Excess pore water pressure in loose sediments may cause phenomena such as boiling, shearing strength and dynamic stiffness reduction and lateral movements cause difficulties. Many remedial methods such as soil replacement with proper materi...
