Performance Characterization of Schottky Tunneling Graphene Field Effect Transistor at 60 nm Gate Length

A planar Graphene Field-Effect Transistor GFET performance with 60 nm gate length was evaluated in discovering new material to meet the relentless demand for higher performance-power saving features. The ATHENA and ATLAS modules of SILVACO TCAD simulation tool was employed to virtually design and assess the electrical performance of GFET. The developed model was benchmarked with the established results obtained from the DESSIS simulator model by using the same graphene channel’s parameters and simulated at fixed threshold voltage of 0.4V. The GFET was also analyzed and ranked its performance for four different gate oxides which includes HfO2, Al2O3, TiO2, and Ta2O5. Compared to the benchmarked device, our GFET shows a competitive performance although it possesses a lower drive current (ION). However, the leakage current (IOFF), subthreshold swing (SS) and the device’s switching capability (ION/IOFF) are more superior than those of the benchmarked device, with an improvement of 99%, 48.3% and 99.36%, respectively. The with different gate dielectrics were also proven to possess a lower IOFF, competitive ION, smaller SS and better switching capability compared to the established DESSISS model. The graphene parameters in this experiment can be utilized for further optimization of GFET with smaller gate lengths.
The investment effect of fiscal consolidation

This paper investigates the relationship between fiscal consolidation, business plans and firm investment. Based on a detailed narrative of tax changes in Germany covering 40 years of fiscal adjustments, we define and exploit the exogenous variation of tax bills to quantify the effect of tax changes on firm future investment plans as well as on realized investment. We find that firms in the manufacturing sector revise downwards their planned investment by about 4% subsequently to a tax increase equal to 1% of the value added in the total manufacturing industry. On the contrary realized investment growth drops by around 8% at impact. Furthermore we find that income and consumption taxes are most harmful to investment and that firms base their investment plans considering laws currently under discussion, anticipating future tax changes. Not taking into account this anticipation effect would lead to strongly biased estimates.
The Meaning of Happiness in Consumer Research: Results from an Inductive Exploratory Pilot Study.

In this study we investigate the meaning of happiness in a consumption context. We employ an inductive approach and present the results of an exploratory pilot study with eight consumers. The study is based on a Multi-Sensory-Sculpting (MSS) procedure in which we asked consumers to build sculptures that represent consumer happiness. Following the MSS guidelines, consumers were interviewed about the meanings of their sculpture in order to elicit embodied cognition about the topic at hand. In this paper we present the meanings of consumer happiness in the participants‟ accounts and discuss implications for consumer research. Further, we discuss the applicability of the MSS-procedure to the topic of consumer happiness, and how to optimize it for later studies on consumer happiness.

Factors of raised C-reactive protein as a potential determinant of Diabetic patients and Risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have previously been described before the onset of type 1 diabetes and gestational diabetes. We hypothesized that inflammation, as reflected by elevated CRP levels, can help predict development of islet autoimmunity or type 1 diabetes. The outcome of this research is to establish potential determinants of raised CRP concentrations in type 1 diabetic patients. Sensitive assay showed ‘low-level’ CRP concentrations in 147 type 1 patients (83M, 64F, median age 30 years, range 13–67). We have done step by step variant examination to relate these CRP levels to known cardiovascular risk factors and demographic data. Only four patients had established Coronary Heart Disease (median CRP 3.43 mg/l vs. 0.85 mg/l, p=0.035). In subjects without overt CHD, multivariate analysis revealed increase in subject age (p=0.0027), BMI (p=0.001) and HbA1 (p=0.013) to be associated with a higher CRP concentration, as was female sex (p=0.025) and a history of CHD in a first-degree relative (p=0.018, n=58). Elevated CRP levels were positively associated with cardiovascular and renal risk factors: age, body mass index, blood pressure, serum cholesterol level, smoking, plasma glucose level and elevated urinary albumin excretion and presence of hypertension were unrelated. This research work advises that certain of the risk factors connected with CHD in type 1 patients are also individually predictive of high CRP concentrations. The reasons for this, and whether intervention would prove valuable, require further analysis
The Impact of Climate Change and Strong Anthropopressure on the Annual Growth of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Wood Growing in Eastern Poland

Changes in annual tree ring width (TRW) and its size depends not only on the changing climate and natural stress factors such as extreme air temperatures, shortages in rainfall and excess rainfall during the growing season, but also on anthropogenic stress, including chemical compounds emitted to the atmosphere or lowering of the groundwater table caused by the operations of plants with high environmental impact. The purpose of this article is to assess the impact of meteorological conditions and anthropogenic factors on the size of annual growth of Scots pine tree-stands in the conditions of the climate of central-eastern Poland. On the basis of five created site chronologies in the vicinity of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy (nitrogen factories in Puławy) and using the moving correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, a significant influence of temperature and precipitation conditions on the TRW size is proved. A significant, positive influence of air temperature on TRW was proved for the majority of chronologies created in the period of January–March, as well as in June, while it remained negative in May. The wide rings of Scots pines were formed when the precipitation of October and January (prior to the resumption of cambium activity) was lower than the average, and higher in April and in June–August. After including the anthropopressure factors in the regression equations, the description of the variability of the annual tree ring width was corrected. The coefficient of determination ranged from approx. 29% to even above 45% and was higher, on average by 10%, for all studied chronologies of Scots pine compared to the one calculated for constructed equations considering only meteorological conditions. The strength and direction of the impact of the independent variables (SO2, NH3, NOx) analysed on TRW mainly depended on the distance from the plants, as well as on the direction of inflow of industrial pollution to the stands examined. In light of the proven climate changes in central and eastern Poland, the growth conditions of pine stands will most likely deteriorate.
A New Avionics-Based GNSS Integrity Augmentation System: Part 2 – Integrity Flags

This paper presents the second part of the research activities carried out to develop a novel Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Avionics-Based Integrity Augmentation (ABIA) system for manned and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications. The ABIA system's architecture was developed to allow real-time avoidance of safety-critical flight conditions and fast recovery of the required navigation performance in case of GNSS data losses. In more detail, our novel ABIA system addresses all four cornerstones of GNSS integrity augmentation in mission- and safety-critical avionics applications: prediction (caution flags), avoidance (optimal flight path guidance), reaction (warning flags) and correction (recovery flight path guidance). Part 1 (Sabatini et al., 2012) presented the ABIA concept, architecture and key mathematical models used to describe GNSS integrity issues in aircraft applications. This second part addresses the ABIA caution and warning integrity flags criteria and presents the results of a simulation case study performed on the TORNADO Interdiction and Strike (IDS) aircraft.
Wages and Immigrant Occupational Composition in Sweden

This paper examines the relationship between immigrant occupational composition and wages in Sweden. Effects of changes in proportion of immigrant workers in different occupations on the wage levels of both natives and immigrants are estimated. Our results suggest that increases in immigrant density have only small effects on wages and that the negative relationship between wages and the proportion of immigrant workers in an occupation, observed in data, is almost entirely accounted for by measured and unmeasured worker skills. These results suggest that wage differences across occupations with different densities of immigrants are mainly due to quality sorting and to a lesser extent due to the existence of discrimination.
Susceptibility of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae; Linnaeus 1758) to Beauveria bassiana Bb9205, Metarhizium anisopliae Ma9236 and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HNI0100

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is a major pest of broccoli worldwide. It mainly causes leaf defoliation and generates annual losses of 80%. In this study we evaluated the susceptibility of P. xylostella to entomopathogens Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HNI0100, Beauveria bassiana Bb9205 and Metarhizium anisopliae Ma9236. The methodology was based on the inoculation of third instar larvae of P. xylostella with 5x10 1 , 1x10 2 , 3x10 2 , 6x10 2 and 1,2x10 3 IJs/cm 2 of H. bacteriophora HNI0100 and evaluated them after 24, 48 and 72 h and 1x10 4 , 1x10 5 , 1x10 6 , 1x10 7 and 1x10 8 con/cm 2 of B. bassiana Bb9205 and M. anisopliae Ma9236, which were evaluated during two weeks. At a dose of 1,2 x10 3 JIs/cm 2 , P. xylostella had a susceptibility to H. bacteriophora HNI0100 of 91,66%. Similarly, B. bassiana Bb9205 and M. anisopliae Ma9236 had a mortality of 95,33 and 99,67% at 1x10 5 con/cm 2 . The results suggest that the use of strains of entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi is an innovative alternative for the control of P. xylostella. However, studies on the interaction of nematodes and fungi and Plutella xylostella are necessary.
Econometric Analysis of Asymmetric Price Transmission Using Threshold Cointegration Approach: A Case Study of Morocco’s Apple Markets

The level of market integration between deficit and surplus markets is a key determinant of price stability and food security. Thus, market integration can be regarded as a way of assessing efficiency of agricultural markets. The current study intends to investigate the domestic market integration and explore the potential presence of asymmetric price adjustments between spatially separated markets. The paper employs threshold cointegration approach using monthly data of wholesale apples prices over the period from September 1993 to June 2017 in five major wholesale markets in Morocco. Study findings suggest that wholesale apples markets are significantly cointegrated, implying the presence of the long-run equilibrium relationships between the examined markets pairs. Considering the evidence as a whole, for five out of eight market pairings, the results reveal that the nature of price transmission exhibits significant asymmetric adjustments. Nonetheless, the empirical analysis does not always support the research hypothesis, stipulating that deficit market prices adjust more swiftly to price increases than to price decreases in surplus market because of the market power of intermediaries in the food marketing chain. Based on these results, the domestic market integration shows some signs of weakness, which may affect the progress of the sector. In this respect, further efforts should be made to enhance market performance so as to ensure an even balance between the production and marketing segment.

Financial Deepening Implications for Macro-economic Volatility and Economic Growth in Nigeria, A Multivariate Approach

This paper investigates the relationship between financial depth, macroeconomic volatility, and economic growth in Nigeria using a general model of error correction and causality model with time series sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Bulletin 2012. The result shows a long-run impact of financial deepening on exchange rate volatility and economic growth while the error correction term indicates that there is no long-run impact of financial depth on growth volatility. On one hand, there is no short run impact of financial depth on exchange rate and growth volatility though most of the financial deepening variables show signs of dampening the volatility of exchange rate and growth. On the other hand, the error correction result suggests that there is a long-run and short-run impact of financial deepening on economic growth. The causality result showed no causality between financial deepening variable, economic growth, and growth volatility but a unidirectional causality between exchange rate volatility, stock traded, stock market capitalization, and broad money. We therefore, suggest that government and policy makers to embrace policies that will deepen financial services in Nigeria.
THE ALUMINIUM PRICE FORECASTING BY REPLACING THE INITIAL CONDITION VALUE BY THE DIFFERENT STOCK EXCHANGES

In mathematical models, for forecasting prices on commodity exchanges different mathematical methods are used. In the paper the numerical model based on the exponential approximation of commodity stock exchanges was derived. The price prognoses of aluminium on the London Metal Exchange were determined as numerical solution of the Cauchy initial problem for the 1 st order ordinary differential equation. To make the numerical model more accurate the idea of the modification of the initial condition value by the aluminium price (stock exchange) was realised. The derived numerical model was verified by determining the influence of the length of the initial condition drift on the accuracy of the obtained prognoses. The types of the initial condition drift during different movements of aluminium prices were studied. The most accurate prognoses were the most often obtained by using the longest initial condition drift. In this type of drift the initial condition value was replaced by aluminium stock exchange in the month in which the absolute percentage error of the prognosis had at least selected value. The advantage of this drift was manifested especially in the stable price course and within larger changes in prices. If there was price fluctuating within the observing period, in the next forecasting the most accurate was the drift the initial condition value of which had been replaced by the price that was the nearest to the stock exchange price evolution.
Linezolid‐resistant S. epidermidis clone ST‐2 isolated from a patient who did not receive any course of oxazolidinone therapy: a case report

Introduction: Linezolid has excellent activity against multidrug‐resistant Staphylococcus spp. and linezolid resistance has emerged mainly in isolates recovered from patients who are receiving courses of oxazolidinone therapy. Case presentation: We report a clinical case of bacteraemia caused by a linezolid‐resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis clone ST‐2 with the G2576T mutation in five copies of the 23S rRNA gene (MIC, 32 µg ml−1) isolated from a patient who did not receive any course of oxazolidinone therapy. The S. epidermidis HSPE24‐SP strain was WT for L3, L4 and L22 ribosomal proteins, cfr negative and indistinguishable by PFGE from the clone that circulated at the same time in another tertiary care hospital located in the same city. Conclusion: This report suggests the inter‐hospital spread of S. epidermidis clone ST‐2 and calls attention to the possibility of isolation of a linezolid‐resistant strain with multiple 23S rRNA mutated copies in an environment under no oxazolidinone selective pressure.
How Physical Work Environment is Perceived to Support Digital Artists

The purpose of the study was to describe digital artists’ notions about their physical work environment in an organizational context. It is suggested that digital artists are creative professionals that use personal, creative imagination and skills to practice problem-solving by producing artistic artifacts. Based on four in-depth interviews and nine email interviews a qualitative research effort was undertaken. The results demonstrated that the physical work environment was considered to support the digital artists on a personal level and on a group level. It was also perceived to provide physical, functional and psychological support. In addition the respondents expressed the need for the physical work environment to act as an inspiration carrier for both creativity enhancement and artistic problem solving needs. Further the study discussed the preferred physical work environments for creativity as suggested by the respondents.
Can self-determination theory explain what underlies the productive, satisfying learning experiences of collectivistically oriented Korean students?

Recognizing recent criticisms concerning the cross-cultural generalizability of self-determination theory (SDT), the authors tested the SDT view that high school students in collectivistically oriented South Korea benefit from classroom experiences of autonomy support and psychological need satisfaction. In Study I, experiences of autonomy, competence, and relatedness underlaid Korean students' most satisfying learning experiences, and experiences of low autonomy and low competence underlaid their least satisfying learning experiences. In Study 2, psychological need satisfaction experiences were associated with productive (achievement and engagement) and satisfying (intrinsic motivation and proneness to negative affect) student outcomes. Study 3 replicated and extended Study 2's structural equation modeling findings by showing that the hypothesized model explained students' positive outcomes even after controlling for cultural and parental influences, including the collectivistic value orientation. Study 4 replicated the earlier cross-sectional findings with a semester-long prospective 3-wave design. The authors discuss how the findings support the motivation theory's cross-cultural generalizability.
Bone histomorphometry of broilers submitted to different phosphorus sources in growing and finisher rations

The objective of this work was to identify alterations in the histomorphology of the cortical bone tissue of broilers submitted to growing and finisher rations formulated with five different sources of phosphorus: dicalcium phosphate, simple superphosphate, triple superphosphate, monoammonium phosphate and Araxa rock phosphate. Histological images had their components segmented, and were called regions of interest (ROI). Images were analyzed through developed algorithms, using the SCILAB mathematical environment. Eleven features were considered in order to obtain a complete description of the bone images: percentage of bone by area, ROI area, ROI perimeters, ROI elongation, ROI angle and their respective standard deviations, besides entropy of ROI angles and a texture-oriented measure (lacunarity). The substitution of dicalcium phosphate in growing and finisher rations for any other tested source of phosphorus caused significant changes on the hystomorphology of the cortical broilers bones, for example: diminution of bone percentage by area, increase of lacuna area and worse matrix homogeneity. Changes were more pronounced in the Araxa rock phosphate treatments, with the highest fluorine content, than in simple superphosphate, triple superphosphate and monoammonium phosphate treatments, which were similar.
