Meat Me for Supper? Envisioning the Future of Protein Food by Maynard, Christopher Coleman

“…Utilizing IMPACT, this report assesses the food security dimensions of availability and economic access for protein food relative to the EAT-Lancet recommendations, projected to 2050, under various shared socioeconomic pathways. This work reveals a near universal over-supply of red meat as well as an under-supply in plant protein across UN member states, even as animal sources of protein far exceed their plant counterparts on a price per kilocalorie basis. …”

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

“…Results has shown that the SONOS memory has much enhanced P/E speed, which can be explained by the augment of electric-field across the tunneling dielectrics near the silicon core-channel due to the scaled dimension as well as the smaller radius of curvatures at the four corners of the wire with highly scaled squarish SiNW channel. …”
