Abstract
A recent study has shown that anomalous positive fixed charge is generated at SiO2/GaN interfaces by forming gas annealing (FGA). Here, we conducted systematic physical and electrical characterizations of GaN-based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures to gain insight into the charge generation mechanism and to design optimal interface structures. A distinct correlation between the amount of FGA-induced fixed charge and interface oxide growth indicated the physical origins of the fixed charge to be defect formation driven by the reduction of the Ga-oxide (GaO
x
) interlayer. This finding implies that, although post-deposition annealing in oxygen compensates for oxygen deficiencies and FGA passivates defect in GaN MOS structures, excessive interlayer GaO
x
growth leads to instability in the subsequent FGA treatment. On the basis of this knowledge, SiO2/GaO
x
/GaN MOS devices with improved electrical properties were fabricated by precisely controlling the interfacial oxide growth while taking advantage of defect passivation with FGA.
A loadless 4T SRAM powered by gate leakage current with a high tolerance for fluctuations in device parameters
Authors: Zhu Yihan , Ohsawa Takashi 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
A novel loadless four-transistor static random access memory (4T SRAM) cell is proposed that consists of two N-type driver MOSFETs and two P-type access ones whose gate leakage currents from word-line are used for holding data in the cell. It is shown that the proposed cell has a higher tolerance for manufacturing device fluctuations compared with the conventional loadless 4T SRAM. Furthermore, it is free from bit-line disturb in contrast to the conventional cell. It is confirmed by simulation in 32 nm technology node that the read static noise margin (SNM) of the proposed cell reaches 138.7% of the six-transistor SRAM cell and that the hold SNM can be acceptable when the gate insulator thickness of the P-type access MOSFETs is made thinner than the N-type driver MOSFETs. The retention current for the proposed cell decreases to 66.7% of the 6TSRAM and the data rate in read increases to 125%.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The treatment effect of the oxygen plasma on the performance of recessed AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes has been investigated. After the oxygen plasma treatment, the turn-on voltage and reverse leakage current are slightly changed, while the current collapse could be effectively mitigated. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that a thin surface oxide layer is formed by the oxygen plasma treatment, which is responsible for the reduced current collapse. In addition, the device treated by oxygen plasma has a relatively more inhomogeneous barrier height.

Authors: Равин А.А. , Хруцкий О.В. 
Published: December 2021

В статье рассматривается стендовая реализация предложенного авторами способа проведения экспериментов с рабочими лопатками аксиальных компрессоров, целью которых является отработка методов мониторинга вибраций лопаток и алгоритмов выявления характерных дефектов (усталостных трещин) непосредственно во время работы компрессора. Для обеспечения безопасности экспериментов с повреждёнными компрессорными лопатками в конструкции стенда применён один из эвристических принципов решения изобретательских задач, сформулированный Г.С. Альтшуллером, который состоит в том, что движущиеся на натурном объекте детали (лопатки) делают неподвижными, а неподвижные детали (датчики) приводят в движение таким образом, чтобы сохранить скорости их относительных перемещений. Рассмотрена конструкция стенда и состав измерительных приборов. Приведены результатов экспериментов с исправными компрессорными лопатками и с лопатками, имеющими различные стадии развития дефектов (усталостных трещин). Показано, что графическое представление ранжированных массивов измеренных временных интервалов позволяет судить о наличии дефекта и о стадии его развития.
The article discusses the bench implementation of the method proposed by the authors for conducting experiments with rotor blades of axial compressors, the purpose of which is to develop methods for monitoring blade vibrations and algorithms for detecting characteristic defects (fatigue cracks) directly during compressor operation. To ensure the safety of experiments with damaged compressor blades, one of the heuristic principles for solving inventive problems, formulated by G.S. Altshuller, which consists in the fact that parts (blades) moving on a full-scale object are made stationary, and stationary parts (sensors) are set in motion in such a way as to maintain the speed of their relative movements. The design of the stand and the composition of the measuring instruments are considered. The results of experiments with serviceable compressor blades and blades with different stages of development of defects (fatigue cracks) are presented. It is shown that the graphical presentation of ranked arrays of measured time intervals allows one to judge the presence of a defect and the stage of its development.

This paper is devoted to the modeling of an intelligent control system for the electric drive of an anchor winch using the theory of fuzzy sets. The analysis of the existing control systems for electric drives of anchor and mooring units based on various traditional control schemes was given, the advantages and disadvantages of traditional control systems were shown, and the main disturbances of a significantly non-deterministic nature were identified. Intelligent control procedures in the implemented model of the electric drive control system are implemented by a fuzzy controller. The intelligent control system is based on a fuzzy controller with the Sugeno output algorithm, the formalization of input signals by error is carried out by two linguistic variables. In addition, the advantage of the proposed approach in the construction of control systems for electric drives of anchor and mooring units on the basis of basic quality indicators is shown.
The Role of Family in Modern China
Authors: Rajkai Zsombor 
Published: December 2021

Following the Maoist period (1949–1976), which stressed workplace relations over family ties and the post-Mao era, which restored the family as an important social unit, the family in contemporary China suggests a blended picture of both pre-modern, modern and post-modern characteristics. For instance, the increasing intergenerational relationship accompanied by strong filial piety shows a quasi-return to pre-modern conditions, whereas the freedom of mateselection rather reveals a modern characteristic of Chinese families today. In contrast, China’s current low total fertility rate shows a post-modern feature of the family, albeit as a result of direct state intervention in the private sphere. This blended and compressed characteristic can also be seen in the ambiguous transformation of the private (family) and ‘public’ (defined here as ‘non-private’, such as political, economic and civil society) spheres. However, it can be argued that contemporary China, which offers new perspectives to social sciences for a better understanding of the different paths of modernisation in general, is being characterised by a sort of new modern familism where the family continues to play an essential role in social responsibility and sustainability.
Introduction to the Mongolian Kinship Terminology in Inner Mongolia On the Example of Qarčin-Tümed Dialect
Authors: (UYANGA) WUYINGGA 
Published: December 2021

Kinship terminology is a reflection of the kinship system in the language. Kinship is produced through marriage and family relationships. Terminology that refers to such kinship has gradually been refined over time. Due to historical developments and influences, Mongolian kinship terminology has increased and became more specific from the 13th century until today. Loanwords are an inevitable result of contacts with different languages and Mongolian kinship terminology has been influenced by this process as well. Mongolian dialects in Inner Mongolia were influenced by Chinese and are observable in kinship terminology. This does not apply to Mongolia and Russia (where the Kalmyks and Buryats live). This article will address three aspects. Firstly, the Mongolian kinship system will be briefly introduced. Secondly, the differences in kinship terminology between Middle Mongolian and contemporary Mongolian will be shown. Thirdly, kinship terminology of one of the Inner Mongolian dialects will be introduced.
Matrimonial Typology in the Mongolian Heroic Epic, J̌angγar
Authors: (ODONKÜÜ) AODUNHU 
Published: December 2021

The Mongolian heroic epic J̌angγar cycles include many independent chapters, which are all connected to the deeds of the king, J̌angγar qaγan and his warriors. N. Poppe, A. S. Kichikov, W. Heissig and Rinčindorǰi studied the structure and pattern of the Mongolian heroic epics and agreed that matrimony is a notable pattern in Mongolian epics. The marriage of Qongγor is a classical story which reflects the typology of matrimony. In this article, I analyse the chapters describing different versions of the marriage of Qongγor in Kalmyk, Mongolia and Xinjiang. In the epic, the hero’s marriage follows the monogamous pattern, and a horse and a knife are presented as signs of engagement. This is evidence of the bride-price system. In addition, the custom of competition for the bride and the exogamy are the most notable features of the matrimonial system described in J̌angγar.
Detecting Keratoconus: Feasibility and Findings in Three Pediatric Risk Groups
Authors: Neustein Rebecca F. , Lenhart Phoebe D. 
Published: December 2021

Purpose:
To investigate the utility of three corneal screening devices in three groups of children.

Methods:
This was a prospective study of patients with Trisomy 21 (group 1), patients with a first-degree relative with keratoconus (group 2), and control patients (group 3). Informed consent was obtained before testing with the Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH), Orbscan (Orbscan, Inc), and Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) (Ametek Reichart Technologies). The ability to complete tests, the quality of results, and the corneal parameters obtained for each eye were recorded. A one-way analysis of variance test was used to compare the results between the three groups.

Results:

Fifty-four patients aged from 7 to 17 years (mean: 11.74 years) were enrolled between July 2014 and July 2016. The number of patients and the percentage of tests completed for groups 1, 2, and 3 were 12 (55%), 21 (87%), and 21 (88%), respectively. The Pentacam values by group were central corneal thickness of 524, 543, and 542 µm (
P
= .36); thinnest point of 498, 536, and 534 µm (
P
= .03); corneal front mean keratometry of 44.9, 43.2, and 43.2 (
P
= .01); and quality score of 1.42, 0.22, and 0.04 (
P
< .0001), respectively. Orbscan values by group were central corneal thickness of 493, 551, and 550 µm (
P
= .01) and thinnest point of 451, 536, and 538 µm (
P
< .0001), respectively. ORA values by group were corneal hysteresis of 10.6, 12.1, and 11.6 (
P
= .124); corneal resistance factor of 9.9, 11.8, and 11.6 (
P
= .03); and waveform score of 5.6, 7.6, and 7.3 (
P
< .0001), respectively.

Conclusions:
Patients in group 1 completed fewer tests reliably and had thinner corneas and lower corneal resistance factors than patients in groups 2 and 3. Corneal tests used to evaluate adults for keratoconus may not be reliable for the evaluation of certain high-risk pediatric patients.

The Madeiran laurel forest endemic Goodyera macrophylla (Orchidaceae) is related to American orchids
Authors: Thiv Mike , Gouveia Manuela , Menezes de Sequeira Miguel 
Published: December 2021

Macaronesian laurel forests harbour many herbs and laurophyllous trees with Mediterranean/European or Macaronesian affinities. Traditionally, the origin of these taxa has been explained by the relict hypothesis interpreting these taxa as relics of formerly widespread laurel forests in the European continent and the Mediterranean. We analysed the phylogenetic relationships of the Madeiran laurel forest endemic Goodyera macrophylla (Orchidaceae) using sequences from the nuclear ribosomal DNA Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) and plastid DNA regions. The results were incongruent, either the two Central American G. brachyceras and G. striata (ITS) or the North American G. oblongifolia (plastid DNA) were sister group to G. macrophylla. Nonetheless, biogeographic analyses indicated an American origin of this nemoral laurel forest plant in the two data sets. Molecular clock analyses suggest a colonisation of Madeira in the span of the upper Miocene/lower Pliocene to the Pleistocene. Although the relict hypothesis cannot be ruled out by our data when assuming extinction events on the European and northern African mainland, dispersal from Central or North America to the archipelago of Madeira is a much more likely explanation of the data.

Considerações finais: Exercer o serviço voluntário possibilita a interação de saberes teóricos e práticos que não foram totalmente dominados durante a graduação, bem como funciona como ferramenta de formalização de sua experiência profissional para empregabilidade.
Altered Mitochondrial Homeostasis during Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Impairs Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation Rendering Neutrophils Ineffective at Combating Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract
Inflammation involves a delicate balance between pathogen clearance and limiting host tissue damage, and perturbations in this equilibrium promote disease. Patients suffering from autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), have higher levels of serum S100A9 protein and increased risk for infection. S100A9 is highly abundant within neutrophils and modulates antimicrobial activity in response to bacterial pathogens. We reasoned that increased serum S100A9 in SLE patients reflects accumulation of S100A9 protein in neutrophils and may indicate altered neutrophil function. In this study, we demonstrate elevated S100A9 protein within neutrophils from SLE patients, and MRL/lpr mice associates with lower mitochondrial superoxide, decreased suicidal neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and increased susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infection. Furthermore, increasing mitochondrial superoxide production restored the antibacterial activity of MRL/lpr neutrophils in response to S. aureus. These results demonstrate that accumulation of intracellular S100A9 associates with impaired mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby rendering SLE neutrophils inherently less bactericidal.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the normal reference left common iliac vein (LCIV) area in chronic venous disease (CVD) patients with or without May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) and its relevant influencing factors.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A prospective analysis of patients with left lower extremity CVD was conducted in a single institution from January to August 2019. A total of 326 patients, 98 with MTS and 228 without MTS after computed tomography (CT) venography, were finally enrolled in this study, and their basic information was recorded. MTS cases were distinguished from non-MTS cases by calculating area stenosis rate with CT three-dimensional reconstruction. The reference area of LCIV was also defined and calculated to analyze its coefficient of variation and relationship with influencing factors in patients with and without MTS.

RESULTS:
Ninety-eight cases of MTS and 228 cases of non-MTS were finally analyzed. In the MTS group, the mean area of reference LCIV was significantly lower (116.29 ± 53.17 mm2 vs. 160.44 ± 52.99 mm2, P < 0.01) and showed greater variability (0.21 ± 0.13 vs. 0.16 ± 0.08, P = 0.04) compared with non-MTS group. Obesity radio was significantly higher in non-MTS group (28.5% vs. 16.3%, P = 0.03). In both MTS and non-MTS groups, the increase of body mass index (BMI) was generally associated with statistically significant increases in the LCIV area (P = 0.002 and P = 0.005), while other factors showed no statistically significant correlation.

CONCLUSIONS:
The reference area of LCIV was redefined in this study. We found that the increase of the LCIV area in both MTS and non-MTS groups was correlated with an increase in BMI. Furthermore, a smaller area of reference LCIV and more variability in the LCIV area were found in the MTS group in contrast to the non-MTS group.
