Schottky barrier engineering on dopant-segregated schottky silicon nanowire MOSFETs by Chin, Yoke King

“…Nickel silicide (NiSi) Schottky S/D is introduced to address this issue. 2 potential challenges associated with NiSi Schottky S/D are: (1) rapid NiSi intrusion into the silicon nanowire channel during silicidation and (2) the existence of a Schottky barrier which leads to increased contact resistance.…”

Epistemic motives and cultural conformity : need for closure, culture, and context as determinants of conflict judgments. by Fu, Ho Ying., Lee, Sau-Lai., Morris, Micheal W., Chao, Melody., Chiu, Chi Yue., Hong, Ying Yi.

“…Three studies supported the proposal that Need for Closure (NFC) involves a wish for consensual validation that leads to cultural conformity. Individual differences in NFC interact with cultural group variables to determine East Asian versus Western differences in conflict style and procedural preferences (Study 1). information gathering in disputes (Study 2), and fairness judgment in reward allocation (Study 3). …”

MIMO visible light communication system with enhanced performance by Han, Junyao

“…In several cases, it utilizes higher order modulation technique to increase transmission rate, but on the other hand it leads to being more susceptible to bit error. In this report, 4x4-MIMO-OFDM was implemented and performed a simulation to evaluate the performance of MIMO-OFDM with QAM technique. …”

Becoming authentic: a social conception of the self by Mortimer, S

“…On a particular, individualist conception of the self, this leads to a paradox. This paradox is resolved if one instead adopts a social conception of the self, according to which the self is partially ontologically constituted by other agents (a ‘we’, rather than an ‘I’).…”

Spherical branes and the BMN matrix quantum mechanics by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF

“…This system can be analysed at large N using supersymmetric localisation and leads to explicit results for the free energy on Sd and the expectation value of supersymmetric Wilson loops. …”

Black empowerment and white mobilization: the effects of the Voting Rights Act by Bernini, A, Facchini, G, Tabellini, M, Testa, C

“…Consistent with the VRA triggering white counter-mobilization, the surge in white registrations is concentrated in counties where African Americans represent a political threat. Counter-mobilization leads to a short run increase in support for racially conservative candidates, and to a slow-down in local public spending salient to Black Americans, such as public sector employment and education.…”

The uniqueness trap by Flyvbjerg, B, Budzier, A, Christodoulou, MD, Zottoli, M

“…The problem is, the perception of uniqueness causes managers to think there’s nothing to learn from other projects, which leads them to underestimate risk, make poor decisions, and blow through budgets and schedules. …”
