Alteration of gate-oxide trap capture/emission time constants by channel hot-carrier effect in the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor by Ju, Xin, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…Since the CHC stress effect is present in all scaled transistors, the findings would have important implications for models/applications that presume oxide-trap properties to be stress-invariant.…”

HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…Given a vertex v, HLO first finds all pairs of its neighboring vertices and divides each pair into two subsets (called half windows); then computes the uniform Laplacians of all such subsets and subsequently projects the computed Laplacians to the full-window uniform Laplacian to alleviate flipping and degeneration. …”

Dark patterns and consumer vulnerability by Zac, A, Huang, Y, von Moltke, A, Decker, C, Ezrachi, A

“…Using a novel empirical design, we find strong evidence that individuals across all groups are susceptible to dark patterns, and only weak evidence that user susceptibility is materially affected by commonly used general proxies for consumer vulnerability (such as income, educational attainment or age). …”

A push–pull–mooring view on technology-dependent shopping under social distancing: when technology needs meet health concerns by Wang, Xueqin, Wong, Yiik Diew, Liu, Feng, Yuen, Kum Fai

“…Anchored on the push–pull–mooring framework, our findings suggest that consumers’ health concerns (push factors), technology needs (pull factors), task–technology fit considerations (mediators) and pandemic-induced psychological states (mooring factors) are all critical contributors to the adoption of technology-dependent shopping with varied explanatory powers. …”

Exploring the limitations of osmotically assisted reverse osmosis: membrane fouling and the limiting flux by Peters, Christian D., Li, Dan, Mo, Zijing, Hankins, Nicholas P., She, Qianhong

“…While both surface flushing and osmotic backwashing (OB) were found to be highly effective when using pure water, a full flux recovery could not be achieved when a nonpure solution was used during OB due to severe internal clogging during OB. All in all, the presented findings provided significant implications for OARO operation and fouling control.…”

Designing Electricity Distribution Network Tariffs for Beneficial Electrification by Turk, Graham

“…We use open-source data on household electricity consumption and travel behavior. We find that beyond very low adoption levels, time-of-use per-kWh network tariffs, which several states have adopted as the default, perform poorly on all metrics and lead to large increases in local peak demand. …”
