With great interest, we have read the letter from Dr. Saleh et al. concerning our recently published article ‘Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a very safe procedure with very low rates of conversion to full sternotomy’ in the EJCTS [1]. We very much appreciate the comments from this expert group and it is our pleasure to respond. The minimally invasive approach through a right-sided m...

A CMOS eight-transistor (8T) memory cell is used for a complete proposed SRAM design. The proposed output buffer, eliminating the use of sense amplifier with all its synchronization schemes, exploits a cost-effective of overhead circuitry, and more important reduces the power consumption by a rate of 43% in comparing to 6T SRAM. Furthermore, the cell contributes a silicon area of 30% larger tha...

As my three-year term as the founding editor of the Journal of Software (JSW, ISSN 1796-217X) ends in October 2008, it gives me great pleasure to introduce Dr. Kassem Saleh as the next Editor-in-Chief of JSW.

The dead-space multiplication theory of Hayat and Saleh @J. Lightwave Technol. 10, 1415 ~1992!#, in conjunction with the multiplication-width-independent ionization-coefficient model developed by Saleh et al. @IEEE Trans. Electron Devices 47, 625 ~2000!#, are shown to accurately predict breakdown voltages for thin avalanche photodiodes of GaAs, InP, In0.52Al0.48As, and Al0.2Ga0.8As, over a broa...
