The objective of the work reported herein is to explore the impact of decreasing channel thickness on radio-frequency (RF) sputtered amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) electrical performance through the evaluation of drain current versus gate voltage (I[subscript D] − V[subscript G]) transfer curves. For a fixed set of...
Nalidixic acid and its derivatives act through inhibition of
bacterial DNA gyrase activity. Recently there have been a series of
papers reporting the antibacterial activity against three different
types of bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa) by a series
of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (or 1,8-naphthyridine) 3-carboxylic
acids. Consistent biological data...
The Oregon State University TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) has a number of irradiation
facilities providing a wide range of neutron energies and fluxes. These facilities include a
pneumatic transfer tube, a rotating rack, a thermal column, four beam ports, in-core irradiation
tubes, a clyogenic gas transfer system and a large vault...
The purpose of this work is to develop a new model for LDD
n-MOSFET degradation in drain current under long-term AC use
conditions for lifetime projection which includes a self-limiting
effect in the hot-electron induced device degradation.
Experimental results on LDD n-channel MOSFETs shows that the
maximum drain current degradation...
The radiation effects in III-V heterojunction devices are investigated in this thesis. Two types of heterojunction devices studied are InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) and GaN-based heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs). InGaP/GaAS HBTs are investigated for high energy (67 and 105 MeV) proton irradiation effects while GaN heterojunction LEDs...
In recent years, high speed data communications over twisted pair cables has gained
tremendous demand. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) was standardized for
use over twisted pair cables. A critical component in ADSL system is the echo canceller
which is intended to discriminate unwanted echo signals caused by twisted pair...
Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...
