In this paper, the theory of metal-semiconductor contacts was
applied to metal contacts on gallium arsenide. A model was discussed
which proposed that the contact resistance was due to a highly
resistive region between the metal and the semiconductor. In order
to evaluate this resistance, a technique using a VHF...
Through the use of daily online surveys, this study investigated the weekly trends associated with college binge drinking. It also investigated the relationship between personality risk factors and binge drinking. Personality risk factors were assessed using the TCI measures of novelty seeking and harm avoidance, and the ATQ measure of...
There has been an increased interest in the
quantification of pattern in ecological systems over the past
years. This interest is motivated by the desire to construct
valid models which extend across many scales. Spatial methods
must quantify pattern, discriminate types of pattern, and
relate hierarchical phenomena across scales. Wavelet...
A note of caution is Provided to users of the widely-distributed Cox ocean circulation model. It is shown that the discrete conservation of vorticity equation associated with the finite difference approximations to the primitive equations on an Arakawa B grid contains a term that approximates βΔy²∂²u/∂x∂y. Although this term has...
Two modifications to an existing scheme of tidal
mixing are implemented in the coarse resolution ocean component
of a global climate model. First, the vertical distribution
of energy flux out of the barotropic tide is determined
using high resolution bathymetry. This shifts the levels of
mixing higher up in the...
