The authors have used scanning gate microscopy combined with numerical simulations to analyze local carrier and current modulation effects in InAs semiconductor nanowires grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Measurements of current flow in the nanowire as a function of probe tip position, at both high and low drain bias, reveal that carrier and current modulation is strongest when ...

over a period of three months (summer), 108 samples of water collected from four hospitals in te-hran. they were taken from numerous potable and non-potable water, including main supply cis-terns, calorifiers, hot and cold tap water, shower, cooling tower and drain of air condition system. culturing of concentrated and non-concentrated water samples on buffered charcoal yeast extract (bcye) aga...

laparoscopy has made a revolution in surgical procedures and treatment of various diseases but its complications are still under investigation. intra-abdominal visceral and vessel injuries, trocar site hernia, and leaving foreign bodies into the peritoneal cavity are among some laparoscopic surgery complications. this is a rare report of penrose drain migration following incomplete laparoscopic...

in today's economy of knowledge and globalization, innovation as the ability to apply new knowledge to improve the production process and create new goods and services has been recognized as an undeniable efficiency. a dynamic economy is in need of efficient human capital which includes elites, professionals and entrepreneurs to come up with innovative and competitive ideas. brain drain in some...

GaAs power metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) were fabricated using direct double silicon (Si) ion implantation technology for wireless communication applications. A 150-μm MESFET had a saturation drain current of 238 mA/mm after Si3N4 passivation. A 15-mm MESFET, when measured under a class-AB condition with a biased drain voltage of 3.4 V and a quiescent drain current of 6...

Cardiac tamponade is a rare but serious emergency condition in the pediatric population. As treatment, a pericardial drain is often placed to evacuate the fluid. We present a case of a 4-year-old girl with cardiac tamponade secondary to renal failure. After the tamponade resolved, she suffered cardiovascular collapse upon attempted drain withdrawal. This case highlights an unusual cause for car...

A Class-E/Fodd high power amplifier (PA) using the distributed active transformer (DAT) is demonstrated at 29MHz. The DAT combines the output power from four VDMOS push-pull pairs. The zero voltage switching (ZVS) condition is investigated and modified for the Class-E/Fodd amplifier with a non-ideal output transformer. All lumped elements including the DAT and the transistor package are modeled...
