In terms of active and passive electronic counteraction, detection of geophysical phenomena of artificial andnatural origin is becoming increasingly important. Discovering new properties of plasma enables to improve the informationcomponent of radio signals more effectively and use the obtained properties in related fields. Elementary processes in thelongitudinal and transverse directions of the discharge, depending on natural and artificial conditions, under different typesof gaseous medium used; at different gas pressures and different pulse-periodic application of an electric field is studied inthe article. The difference of discharge properties in inert and molecular gases with different designs and electrodes of thelaboratory device is shown. It is established that the change of functional purpose between the cathodes and the anodes doesnot change the shape of the discharge. The presence of ambipolar diffusion of charge carriers acting on a large area of plasmawas determined. Partial charge carrier homogeneity has been established, which is observed only along the plasma surface,and homogeneity is violated in the perpendicular direction. The difference in energy input in the discharge, depending on thedesign of the electrodes other things being equal is determined. The identified properties of plasma enable them to be usedmore effectively for practical implementation in the field of electronics and telecommunications and other industries.

Beam Broadening

The bane of CCD imaging systems for transmission electron microscopy at intermediate and high voltages has been their relatively poor modulation transfer function (MTF), or line pair resolution. The problem originates primarily with the phosphor screen. On the one hand, screens should be thick so that as many incident electrons as possible are converted to photons, yielding a high detective quantum efficiency(DQE). The MTF diminishes as a function of scintillator thickness however, and to some extent as a function of fluorescence within the scintillator substrates. Fan has noted that the use of a thin layer of phosphor beneath a self supporting 2μ, thick Al substrate might provide the most appropriate compromise for high DQE and MTF in transmission electron microcscopes which operate at higher voltages. Monte Carlo simulations of high energy electron trajectories reveal that only little beam broadening occurs within this thickness of Al film. Consequently, the MTF is limited predominantly by broadening within the thin phosphor underlayer. There are difficulties however, in the practical implementation of this design, associated mostly with the mechanical stability of the Al support film.

The Difference

ABSTRACTIn practical use of the SiC power MOSFETs, further reduction of the channel resistance, high stability under harsh environments, and also, high product yield of large area devices are indispensable. Pn diodes with large chip area have been already reported with high fabrication yield, however, there is few reports in terms of the power MOSFETs. To clarify the difference between the simple pn diodes and power MOSFETs, we have fabricated four pn-type junction TEGs having the different structural features. Those pn junctions are close to the similar structure of DIMOS (Double-implanted MOS) step-by-step from the simple pn diodes. We have surveyed the V-I characteristics dependence on each structural features over the 2inch wafer. Before their fabrication, we formed grid patterns with numbering over the 2inch wafer, then performed the synchrotron x-ray topography observation. This enables the direct comparison the electrical and spectrographic characteristics of each pn junctions with the fingerprints of defects.Four structural features from TypeA to TypeD are as follows. TypeA is the most simple structure as same as the standard pn diodes formed by Al+ ion implantation (I/I), except that the Al+ I/I condition conforms to that of the p-well I/I in the DIMOS. The JTE structure was used for the edge termination on all junctions. While the TypeA consists of one p-type region, TypeB and TypeC consists of a lot of p-wells. The difference of Type B and C is a difference of the oxide between the adjacent p-wells. The oxide of TypeB consists of the thick field oxide, while that of TypeC consists of the thermal oxide corresponding to the gate oxide in the DIMOS. In the TypeD structure, n+ region corresponding to the source in the DIMOS was added by the P+ I/I. The TypeD is the same structure of the DIMOS, except that the gate and source contacts are shorted. The V-I measurements of the pn junctions are performed using the KEITHLEY 237 voltage source meters with semi-auto probe machine. An active area of the fabricated pn junctions TEGs are 150um2 and 1mm2. Concentration and thickness of the drift layer are 1e16cm−3 and 10um, respectively.In order to compare the V-I characteristics of fabricated pn junctions with their defects information that obtained from x-ray topography measurements directly, the grid patterns are formed before the fabrication. The grid patterns were formed over the 2inch wafer by the SiC etching. The synchrotron x-ray topography measurements are carried out at the Beam-Line 15C in Photon-Factory in High-Energy-Accelerator-Research-Organization. Three diffraction conditions, g=11-28, -1-128, and 1-108, are chosen in grazing-incidence geometry (improved Berg-Barrett method).In the presentation, the V-I characteristics mapping on the 2inch wafer for each pn junctions, and the comparison of V-I characteristics with x-ray topography will be reported.

Selection Of

Large-p-small-ndatasets are commonly encountered in modern biomedical studies. To detect the difference between two groups, conventional methods would fail to apply due to the instability in estimating variances int-test and a high proportion of tied values in AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) estimates. The significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) may also not be satisfactory, since its performance is sensitive to the tuning parameter, and its selection is not straightforward. In this work, we propose a robust rerank approach to overcome the above-mentioned diffculties. In particular, we obtain a rank-based statistic for each feature based on the concept of “rank-over-variable.” Techniques of “random subset” and “rerank” are then iteratively applied to rank features, and the leading features will be selected for further studies. The proposed re-rank approach is especially applicable for large-p-small-ndatasets. Moreover, it is insensitive to the selection of tuning parameters, which is an appealing property for practical implementation. Simulation studies and real data analysis of pooling-based genome wide association (GWA) studies demonstrate the usefulness of our method.

Abstract Electrophoretic deposition provides material-efficient film formation on large area electrodes. In this study, it has been found that there is a significant difference in the colloidal particle formation process between a thiophene-based copolymer poly(3-octylthiophene- 2,5-diyl-co-3-decyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl) (POT-co-DOT) and C60 in preparation of suspension for electrophoretic deposition by reprecipitation method. This difference is attributed to the difference between low molecular weight materials with specific molecular weight and polymers with molecular weight distribution. The composition of POT-co-DOT:C60 composite film by electrophoretic deposition has also been estimated.

For the NASA Crustal Dynamics Project VLBI network, signals from quasars are recorded simultaneously at widely separated antennas. It is well known that hydrogen maser frequency standards provide the stable frequency reference used to precisely measure the difference in arrival time of the radio signals at the different antennas, enabling the determination of precise distances between the antennas. This paper reviews the practical requirements for maser support of VLBI for the Crustal Dynamics Project and describes the means used to meet these requirements for a network of eight fixed and three mobile stations which participate in approximately 200 VLBI experiments per year at locations in North America and the Pacific.

Spray cooling is a candidate solution for high heat flux cooling applications, and previous work has investigated the impact of parameters of conical sprays such as volumetric flux and Sauter mean diameter on heat transfer performance. However, there has been little work on the impact of drainage and spray orientation on spray performances. In addition, conical sprays are not very practical for large area coverage in compact packages, so this study, presents a novel arrangment that uses linear sprays impinging at an angle such that fluid management and uniform droplet coverage of large areas are both improved. Results for the heat transfer coefficient and CHF of a constrained, practical implementation of a spray array (as opposed to a laboratory-only geometry) are presented for FC-72, FC-40 and HFE-7000.

Sentinel 2

A spatially distributed land surface temperature is important for many studies. The recent launch of the Sentinel satellite programs paves the way for an abundance of opportunities for both large area and long-term investigations. However, the spatial resolution of Sentinel-3 thermal images is not suitable for monitoring small fragmented fields. Thermal sharpening is one of the primary methods used to obtain thermal images at finer spatial resolution at a daily revisit time. In the current study, the utility of the TsHARP method to sharpen the low resolution of Sentinel-3 thermal data was examined using Sentinel-2 visible-near infrared imagery. Compared to Landsat 8 fine thermal images, the sharpening resulted in mean absolute errors of ~1 °C, with errors increasing as the difference between the native and the target resolutions increases. Part of the error is attributed to the discrepancy between the thermal images acquired by the two platforms. Further research is due to test additional sites and conditions, and potentially additional sharpening methods, applied to the Sentinel platforms.

Emergent topological Dirac semimetals afford fresh pathways for optoelectronics, although device implementation has been elusive to date. Specifically, palladium ditelluride (PdTe2) combines the capabilities provided by its peculiar band structure, with topologically protected electronic states, with advantages related to the occurrence of high-mobility charge carriers and ambient stability. Here, we demonstrate large photogalvanic effects with high anisotropy at terahertz frequency in PdTe2-based devices. A responsivity of 10 A/W and a noise-equivalent power lower than 2 pW/Hz0.5 are achieved at room temperature, validating the suitability of PdTe2-based devices for applications in photosensing, polarization-sensitive detection, and large-area fast imaging. Our findings open opportunities for exploring uncooled and sensitive photoelectronic devices based on topological semimetals, especially in the highly pursuit terahertz band.

Rule Making

It would seem particularly appropriate following the tribute which appeared in the previous issue of the Israel Law Review, to commence our excursion into Israeli labour law with one of Otto Kahn-Freund's thought-provoking observations.“Over a large area of British industrial relations, the rule-making and the decision-making processes, the, as it were, ‘legislative’ and ‘judicial’ functions are as indistinguishable as they were in the Constitution of medieval England. … And just as in the common law the judge is rule-maker and decision-maker all at once, so in the dynamic system of collective bargaining the parties ignore the difference between interpreting an old rule and making a new one.” Thus, in England, as Professor Kahn-Freund points out, the almost universally accepted distinction between disputes of rights and disputes of interests is not considered relevant.

The Difference

A comparison is made between the natural geomagnetic background in the frequency range 0.006–0.6 Hz and fluctuations of the difference in received signal strength between the two magnetoionic modes of vertically incident broad-band radio signals in the range 6–16 MHz, observed at a single station near Victoria, British Columbia. At this station the following points were observed:1. During the daytime there is often a spectral component common to the radio-signal fluctuations and to the natural geomagnetic background, even during quiet magnetic times. There is seldom phase coherence, however, except for a few minutes at a time.2. There is a small but highly significant (1%) linear correlation R = 0.33 between all the hourly mean amplitudes of the radio-signal fluctuation level and the hourly mean amplitudes of the natural geomagnetic background. The correlation coefficient rises as high as R = 0.71 at 1400–1500 local time, when only a particular hour of each day is considered. It is concluded that geomagnetic micropulsations in this frequency range are a better indicator of r-f. fluctuations than is the local Kp.3. At night, there is a relationship between the occurrence of Pt's and of r-f. fluctuation, although their frequency components are not usually as closely related as are those of the daytime regimes.It is suggested that geomagnetic micropulsations can couple exospheric or auroral zone fluctuations into the upper E or F regions strongly enough to produce observable radio-signal fluctuations at mid-latitudes, even during magnetically quiet times.Lack of correlation between micropulsations and phase fluctuations of 18 kHz signals observed over an E–W 100-km path, and 80 kHz observed over an E–W 3 300-km path suggests that significant coupling does not extend down to the D region during magnetically quiet times.
