Modeling and Performance Analysis of III-V Nanowire Field-Effect Transistors

A semiconductor nanowire (NW) is a solid rod with a diameter less than 100-200 nm composed of one or several semiconductor materials. The emergence of bottom-up chemical methods to fabricate one-dimensional semiconductor structures has enabled the synthesis of nanoscale wires that can serve as both devices and interconnects in nanoelectronic circuits. During the last half century, a dramatic downscaling of electroni cs has taken place. The miniaturization of the devices found in integrated circuits is predicted by the semiconductor industry roadmap to reach atomic dimensions in few years. The narrowest feature of silicon devices - the gate oxide - should then reach its fundamental physical limit of four to five atoms thickness. At a thickness of less than four layers of silicon atoms, current will penetrate
A Robust Estimator for Location in Phase I Based on an EWMA Chart

In practice, a control chart for process monitoring (Phase II) is based on parameters estimated from data collected on the process characteristic under study (Phase I). The Phase I data could contain unacceptable data, which in turn could affect the monitoring. In this study, we consider various estimation methods that are potentially relevant within the parameter estimation process. The quality of the Phase I study is evaluated in terms of the precision of the resulting estimates as well as the effectiveness of the exploratory data analysis, where ‘effectiveness’ is measured by the proportion of observations that are correctly identified as unacceptable. Moreover, we study the impact of the Phase I estimation method on the performance of the EWMA control chart in Phase II.
Dancing Outdoors: DiY Ethics and Democratised Practices of Well-Being on the UK Alternative Festival Circuit

Focussing on the UK’s vibrant alternative festival scene, this article examines how traces of the free party movement in the late 1980s continue to pervade the ethos and aesthetic register of contemporary events. It considers the potent DiY ethic of the campsite that emerged as a result of the convergence of Travellers with sounds systems such as Spiral Tribe, Exodus and Bedlam. It examines how the aesthetics and ethics of these rural, grassroots gatherings hark back to a particular moment in British history and how the sights, sounds and cultures of the current festival circuit are intimately connected to the histories from which they grew. The article argues for a reading of outdoor space, as experienced within the frame of the alternative festival, as a locale for the performance of political and personal freedoms. It asks how the cultural legacy of opposition through dancing outdoors serves as an expression of democratic culture and as spatial practice of belonging. The article makes explicit the links between alternative forms of democratic participation and sensations of individual and collective well-being that arise from outdoor dance experiences. Finally, it considers the role of rurality in constructing a festival imaginary that promotes participation, agency and connectivity.
The status of Ser and Estar in late and early bilingual L2 Spanish.

The characterization of the final state of the second language (L2) grammar is one of the most debated issues in current L2 research. Specifically, research centers on the question of what, if any, areas of the grammar are particularly vulnerable to fossilization or incomplete acquisition. Recent research has found that the areas of language where syntax interfaces with other systems are more vulnerable to processes such as attrition and incomplete learning than syntax proper (Montrul 2002, Sorace 2000a, Tsimpli et al. 2003). This vulnerability is seen in bilingual acquisition, adult L2 acquisition, as well as with native speakers out of contact with their L1 for long periods. The present paper examines the status of ser and estar, the two copula verbs in Spanish in the late and early bilingual L2 Spanish of L1 English speakers and shows that fossilization occurs at the interpretive level.

Research on Resource Scheduling based on Improved Mutation Operator in Cloud Computing

With the increasing development of cloud computing,task scheduling problem become a crucial aspect.There are many scholars research on resource scheduling problems,but load balancing and scheduling in how to balance time and cost is still not achieved satisfactory results.Genetic algorithm(GA) has strong robustness and inherent parallel computer system,particularly suitable for the combinatorial optimization problems, but the basic genetic algorithm easy to fall into local optimal solution. So ,we propose a crossover-mutation operator in mutation to solve this problem. The performance is analyzed using Cloudsim simulator and compared with existing GA ,Min-min algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better performance in load balancing ,finish time and costs.
Application of impedance spectroscopy and conductometry for assessment of varietal differences in wheat

The potentials of an electrochemical and a physical technique for detection of physiological differences in three wheat cultivars under optimal growth conditions were outlined in the study. Electrolyte leakage kinetics was established by continuous measurements of conductivity of solutions in which leaf pieces were incubated for 24 hours. Impedance spectra were obtained from intact leaves at frequency range from 7 to 2010 Hz and 250 mV measuring voltage applied between two gold plated silicon substrates serving as electrodes. The obtained spectra were approximated by a model employing two ARC elements connected in series. Parameters of the previously described diffusion model based on time course conductivity measurements were inversely correlated with electrical impedance spectroscopy data, thus the genotype with highest ion leakage (cultivar Prelom) exhibited lowest impedance magnitude. It was concluded that the two methods were able not merely to distinguish the three studied cultivars but also to rank them in the same order based on their electrical properties.
A Survey on Various Receivers for UWB Communication

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is an inherent technology used in current wired and wireless communication systems. These systems share the radio frequency spectrum with narrowband signals and also provide high data rates, low cost, greater bandwidth, good time domain resolution and improved channel capacity. UWB technology has attracted a lot of inquisitiveness in researchers worldwide. There are several challenges in designing a UWB receiver such as channel estimation and interference mitigation. In multi-user environments, multiple access interference (MAI) degrades the performance of UWB systems. To prevail over these challenging issues, an adaptive and robust receiver needs to be designed to alleviate interference in all types of environments. In this paper, the different types of receiver structures like Rake, energy, correlation, suboptimal, near-optimal and adaptive nonlinear rake receivers are surveyed and their performances are analyzed. This survey helps to realize superior bit error rates (BER) and excellent signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Keywords: Adaptive nonlinear rake receivers, Correlation receivers, Energy detectors, Rake receivers, Ultra wideband (UWB).
Forearm radiocephalic fistula for dialysis Przetoki dializacyjne odpromieniowo-promieniowe na przedramieniu

Arteriovenous fistula created from native vessels in the forearm are renowned as the best primary vascular access for haemodialysis. Despite best outcomes for fistula patency among all the access routes for dialysis, the procedure of forearm fistula creation carries a significant risk of complications including failure of spontaneous maturation, stenoses, or thrombosis. This publication presents principles of patient qualification for forearm fistula creation, preoperative workup, and postoperative care.
InnB, a Novel Type III Effector of Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61, Controls Symbiosis With Vigna Species

Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61 is incompatible with mung bean (Vigna radiata cv. KPS1) and soybean (Glycine max cv. BARC2) and unable to nodulate either plant. This incompatibility is due to the presence of a functional type III secretion system (T3SS) that translocates effector protein into host cells. We previously identified five genes in B. elkanii that are responsible for its incompatibility with KPS1 plants. Among them, a novel gene designated as innB exhibited some characteristics associated with the T3SS and was found to be responsible for the restriction of nodulation on KPS1. In the present study, we further characterized innB by analysis of gene expression, protein secretion, and symbiotic phenotypes. The innB gene was found to encode a hypothetical protein that is highly conserved among T3SS-harboring rhizobia. Similar to other rhizobial T3SS-associated genes, the expression of innB was dependent on plant flavonoids and a transcriptional regulator TtsI. The InnB protein was secreted via the T3SS and was not essential for secretion of other nodulation outer proteins. In addition, T3SS-dependent translocation of InnB into nodule cells was confirmed by an adenylate cyclase assay. According to inoculation tests using several Vigna species, InnB promoted nodulation of at least one V. mungo cultivar. These results indicate that innB encodes a novel type III effector controlling symbiosis with Vigna species.

Quercetin is found to be the quencher of Egg albumin fluorescence and the quenching mode involved here is found dynamic in nature. The energy transfer parameters are calculated and a possibility of energy transfer from Egg albumin to quercetin is observed. Molecular docking study gives the distance of quercetin to egg albumin.
Evidence-based nursing management: Challenges and facilitators

This review introduces a new approach for nursing management called Evidence Based Nursing Management (EBNMgt). EBNMgt is the integration of the best research evidence with nurse managers’ expertise and nurses’ preferences. Even though it is commonly acknowledged that health care should be evidence-based, evidence-based decision making in the field of nursing management has not been addressed adequately in terms of what actually determines the quality of nursing care and working conditions of nurses. This review discusses the significance of evidence-based nursing management from the perspective of both academics and managers, and elaborates on both the difficulties of implementing evidence-based nursing management and ways of facilitating implementation. Collaborative models between universities and hospitals could be used as a method to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based nursing management in order to improve nursing care and the working environment. Like evidence-based nursing, evidence-based nursing management should also be carefully studied for the professionalization of nursing and for better patient care.
Near‐zero permittivity substrates for horizontal antennas: Performance enhancement and limitations

In this letter the advantages offered by ε‐near‐zero materials as substrates for horizontal dipole antennas near a ground plane are theoretically studied. From the previous work it is known that substrates with extremely low values of permittivity dramatically enhance radiation from horizontal currents over a ground plane. On the other hand, as reported in this letter, frequency dispersion and the finite size of the substrate limit the achievable enhancement in antenna performance. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Assembly and Fabrication of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor Using Dielectrophoresis Method

On account of their sizes and unique properties, single-wall carbon nanotubes are candidates for a number of building blocks in nanoscale electronics. With respect to the assembly of carbon nanotube field effect transistor, the dielectrophoresis technology is adopted, which assembles SWCNTs between the microelectrodes, SWCNTs are affected by the electrophoretic force which is carried out by the related theoretical analysis in a nonuniform electric field. The driving electric field of dielectrophoresis is simulated by the comsol software. According to the simulation results, a number of the experiments are done. The applied alternating current voltage has a frequency of 2 MHz and an amplitude of 10 V. It turns out that the required experimental parameters of the efficient assembly of SWCNT are obtained. AFM scanning and electrical properties of SWCNTs show that the method can achieve the effective assembly of carbon nanotube field effect transistor. SWCNTs are driven in the microelectrode gap, having a good arrangement of uniform orientation and assembly results, and proportional to the arrangement density along the electrode width direction and the duration of DEP. As a result, it also provides an effective method of assembly and fabrication for other one-dimensional nanomaterials assembly of nanoelectronic devices.
Earnings response coefficient estimation: An exploratory and comparative analysis in BRICS

This paper estimates and compares the long-term market reaction to earnings innovation (ERC) in the five main emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) – and analyzes the effects of nonlinearity of unexpected earnings, negative earnings and firm size on ERC. The tests are based on 31,159 firm-year observations from 1995 to 2013 from a total sample of 2,290 listed firms and the econometric estimation process is based on countryspecific longitudinal ordinary least squares regressions. The results showed that accounting information has marginal implications for stock prices in all countries; however, the determinants of ERC vary along time and across countries as context-specific components. The results also show that (i) the nonlinear effects of unexpected earnings in ERC are a common trend in all evaluated countries but Russia; (ii) the negative earnings effects on ERC are documented in Brazil, India and Russia, whereas they do not hold true for China and South Africa; and (iii) only in China a significant effect of firm size is observed in the way market agents incorporate earnings information in the long run. Keywords: accounting earnings, earnings response coefficient, emerging markets, BRICS.
A SECURE AUTHORIZED NLP BASED DUPLICATE CHECK SCHEME FOR DATA DEDUPLICATION

Data deduplication is a technique for reducing the amount of storage space an organization needs to save its data. It has been widely used in cloud computing and storage to minimize the amount of storage space and conserve bandwidth. To conceal the confidentiality of sensitive data, the convergent encryption technique has been proposed to encrypt the data before outsourcing. Several new deduplication constructions are presented to support authorized duplicate check in hybrid cloud architecture. But it would check only the contents that are same in both the file. In this paper, we propose a system that performs natural language processing to identify the elements with similar meanings and deduplicate the file, so that that deduplication is more efficient.
Triangular antiferromagnetism on the honeycomb lattice of twisted bilayer graphene

We present the electronic band structures of states with the same symmetry as the three-sublattice planar antiferromagnetic order of the triangular lattice. Such states can also be defined on the honeycomb lattice provided the spin density waves lie on the bonds. We identify cases which are consistent with observations on twisted bilayer graphene: a correlated insulator with an energy gap, yielding a single doubly-degenerate Fermi surface upon hole doping. We also discuss extensions to metallic states which preserve spin rotation invariance, with fluctuating spin density waves and bulk $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NOSQL DATABASES FOR BIG DATA STORAGE

Nowadays the amount of data that is required to be stored in databases relates to big data and that data is required to be stored in real time, but knowing that DBMSs cannot support such a thing, we use the NoSQL databases. NoSQL databases support dynamic scheme design, offering the potential for increased flexibility, scalability and adaptability over relational software. This makes them suitable for Web Applications, content management systems, and other uses that involve large amounts of non-uniform data that require more frequent updates and formats in different domains. There are already a large number of NoSQL databases, with a number of over 255. Their performance depends on various factors, so it is important to compare them based on the requirements of an application. So, during this research there will be made a comparison of some of the most popular NoSQL databases for big data storage.

Five two-rowed barely varieties were sown in full Diallel cross including reciprocals at Sulaimani – Qlyasan research station to produce 20 crosses. During the winter season of (2013-2014), 25 genotypes (20 F2 crosses + 5 parents) were sown in a completely randomize block design CRBD with 3 replications. The most important results can be summarized as follow: -The mean squares due to genotypes, gca , sca and rca , were highly significant for most characters. -Parent 3 possess the highest value for most studied characters, while parent 1 recorded minimum values. The reciprocal cross 4x1 recorded the highest value for (grain weight / plant, biological weight / plant and weight of spikes / plant). -The reciprocal cross 5x1 gave maximum positive Heterosis for (grain weight / plant) and most of its components. -The average degree of dominance value was more than one for all characters due to Diallel crosses and for most characters due to reciprocal crosses, confirming the importance of non- additive gene effect in controlling the inheritance of these characters.
Abandoned artisanal gold mines in the Brazilian Amazon: A legacy of mercury pollution

The modern gold rush in the Brazilian Amazon attracted millions of people to become artisanal miners in order to escape complete social marginalization. The rudimentary nature of artisanal mining activities often generates a legacy of extensive environmental degradation, both during operations and well after mining activities have ceased. One of the most significant environmental impacts is derived from the use of mercury (Hg), which is illegal for use in gold amalgamation in Brazil, but continues to be the preferred method employed by artisanal gold miners. The general population is unaware of the capricious nature of mercury and artisanal mining activities. Moreover, individuals in positions of political or economic influence tend to be negatively biased towards artisanal mining and government policies do not effectively address the realities of these activities. Affected communities have consequently been ignored, and mistrust towards outside parties is high. Not surprisingly, miners are suspicious of and unlikely to employ externally derived solutions to reduce mercury emissions. This article reviews the use of mercury in artisanal mining and highlights the role miners, governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have played in communicating facts, perpetuating myths and deriving solutions for mercury pollution. This article also raises some key concerns that must be addressed to understand the behaviour of mercury in the environment and identifies solutions for problems facing communities where artisanal gold mining operations have been abandoned.
