Photosynthetic organisms provide food and energy for nearly all life on Earth, yet half of their
protein-coding genes remain uncharacterized 1 , 2 . Characterization of these genes could …

We present a theoretical treatment of the effect of stress on dopant and defect diffusion in Si.
A prior treatment [PH Dederichs and K. Schroeder, Phys. Rev. B 17, 2524 (1978)] of …

In this letter, we present the development of a complete methodology to simulate the effects
of general anisotropic nonuniform stress on dopant diffusion in silicon. The macroscopic …

The US Culture Collection Network was formed in 2012 by a group of culture collection
scientists and stakeholders in order to continue the progress established previously through …

We evaluated the prey sources that contributed to the diets of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Valley Creek, Minnesota during the summer of 2003…

Miniaturized, integrated sensors and actuators are a rapidly growing field with great future
potential. To further promote their use, specialists must make them more accessible to system …

The analytical modeling and simulation of conservative electrostatic, electromagnetic and
electrodynamic transducers found in microsystems using a non-linear lumped-parameter …

Overlay accuracy remains one of the major challenges in 1× lithography. In the case of X-ray
masks, it is necessary to have a precise pattern on the mask itself and ensure that the …

The silicon-based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is at the heart
of today's semiconductor industry. Because the switching speed of a MOSFET increases …
