Electrical characterization of Si Nanowire based devices – transistors and SONOS memory by Xiong, Tian Zhong.

“…As for PMOS vertical gate-all-around (GAA) Silicon Nanowire, results show that with the greatly decrease in the scalability of the transistor for SNWFETs NBTI degradation is not significant in test results due to the ultra small surface area of the SNWFETs, but it can be sure that from past study the scalability will contribute in NBTI degradation thus more study must be research in this area.…”

Why am I racist? A study on the prediction of race categorization performance on implicit racial biases among Singapore Chinese preschoolers by Koh, Jin Yi

“…Stronger implicit racial biases were also found to be related to higher accuracy in categorizing own-race Chinese faces rather than other-race Indian faces, which is posited to be due to early childhood experience that consists of predominantly own-race Chinese individuals. Past research suggests that by altering this exposure and providing training during early childhood are effective methods in reducing implicit bias. …”
