The Impact

In this work, the electrical features related to the capacitive coupling and temperature influence of the Ultra-Thin Body and Buried Oxide SOI MOSFET (UTBB) transistors are explored through numerical simulations. The impact of the substrate bias is observed for a set of values ranging from -3 V to 2 V for a temperature range between 100 K and 400 K. Also, structures with different types of ground plane (GP-P and GPN) and without GPhave been evaluated. This approach analyzes the capacitive coupling through the body factor and shows that the negative biasing for all GP types significantly improves the structure coupling and that the device with P-type ground plane has the lowest value of body factor for all the evaluated conditions. The dependence of the body factor on the temperature has shown to be negligible for longer devices. However, for devices shorter than 50 nm, the position of the maximum electrons concentration inside the silicon layer may affect the capacitive coupling.

The main goal of this paper is to present the behavior of the substrate effect in Ultra-Thin Body and Buried Oxide (UTBB) SOI MOSFETs with respect to the back gate bias (VSUB) through DC and AC simulations validated to experimental data. Different ground plane (GP) arrangements have been considered in order to enhance the analysis. It has been shown that the substrate effect is strongly influenced by the reduction of the back gate bias and, that the capacitive coupling of the structure presents a different behavior with respect of each kind of GP configuration as the back gate bias is varied. Finally, it has been shown that the GP below the source and drain regions contributes significantly to the overall capacitive coupling of the transistors.

The Impact

Iodothyronine deiodinases are important mediators of thyroid hormone (TH) action. They are present in tissues throughout the body where they catalyse 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) production and degradation via, respectively, outer and inner ring deiodination. Three different types of iodothyronine deiodinases (D1, D2 and D3) have been identified in vertebrates from fish to mammals. They share several common characteristics, including a selenocysteine residue in their catalytic centre, but show also some type-specific differences. These specific characteristics seem very well conserved for D2 and D3, while D1 shows more evolutionary diversity related to itsKm, 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil sensitivity and dependence on dithiothreitol as a cofactorin vitro. The three deiodinase types have an impact on systemic T3levels and they all contribute directly or indirectly to intracellular T3availability in different tissues. The relative contribution of each of them, however, varies amongst species, developmental stages and tissues. This is especially true for amphibians, where the impact of D1 may be minimal. D2 and D3 expression and activity respond to thyroid status in an opposite and conserved way, while the response of D1 is variable, especially in fish. Recently, a number of deiodinases have been cloned from lower chordates. Both urochordates and cephalochordates possess selenodeiodinases, although they cannot be classified in one of the three vertebrate types. In addition, the cephalochordate amphioxus also expresses a non-selenodeiodinase. Finally, deiodinase-like sequences have been identified in the genome of non-deuterostome organisms, suggesting that deiodination of externally derived THs may even be functionally relevant in a wide variety of invertebrates.

Introduction. The multipath resistance of GNSS antennas is largely determined by the gain slope of the amplitude radiation pattern at sliding angles (angles close to the horizon). The gain slope of the antenna radiation pattern is determined by the size of its ground plane. This article investigates the dependence between the gain slope and ground plane radius R of a quadrupole antenna.Aim. To analyse the impact of the radius of conventional and high-impedance ground planes on the backscatter radiation pattern of a quadrupole antenna at sliding angles.Materials and methods. Computer simulations were carried out in CAD CST Studio Suite using the methods of finite element analysis (FEM), finite difference time domain (FDTD) and template based post-processing.Results. Quadrupole antennas with a capacitive high-impedance ground plane and a conventional flat ground plane were simulated. The dependence of the average gain slope at sliding angles on the radius of the ground plane was determined at low fн and upper fв GNSS frequencies. The analysis of the down/up ratio, the rolloff gain and the multipath ratio for R= 1…20 of the wavelength of capacitive high-impedance and ground planes conventional flat was performed. It was established that higher gain slopes can be obtained using different types of ground planes; however, lower backscatter radiation values are achievable only using high-impedance structures. It was observed that the same slope of the radiation pattern (about 1 dB/°) for GNSS lower frequencies can be obtained at different R=12λ0, and, presumably, at 20λ0.Conclusion. A high-impedance ground plane with a diameter of 2R=12λ0  is preferable for a quadrupole antenna at low GNSS frequencies. A further increase in the ground plane size will insignificantly improve its characteristics.

The Impact

In this work, we investigate by numerical simulation the impact of using standard mobility models versus an inclusion of thin-layer mobility models on 7 nm thin body and 10 nm thin buried oxide (UTBB) SOI MOSFETs of 25 nm gate length (Lg=25 nm). Simulations were performed for both no-ground plane (no-GP) and ground plane (GP) structures for Vds= 20 mV and 1.0 V and substrate biasing of Vsub= 0 V and 0.5 V. Results of on-current (Ion), off-current (Ioff) and linear subthreshold swing (SSlin) only showed marginal differences between the two mobility models used. Significant differences can only be seen in the values of Drain-Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) where in this work is extracted as DIBL=(Vthlin- Vthsat)/ΔVd. Moreover, the inclusion of thin layer mobility model gives higher values of transconductance (gm) as compared to standard mobility model.

The Impact

Measuring developer coordination is a fundamental challenge and complex task in software development organizations. One way used to conceptualize and measure developer coordination is known as 'Socio-Technical Congruence (STC)', which is fit between the coordination requirements established by the dependencies among tasks and the actual coordination activities carried out by the developers. However, STC has not been widely accepted as a broad theory. This is for the reason that, STC is relatively new, and there are many fundamental questions that need to be addressed and understood. This research intend to construct a model of the relationship between STC and project performance in the different types of software development lifecycle. The model constructed can be used to provide additional evidence to the body of knowledge, which will further strengthen the STC theory. Therefore, we outline research questions, the proposed method used to conduct the research, potential contributions and the expected results of the research.

Abstract. Two studies carried out among Albanian public-sector employees examined the impact of different types of affirmative action policies (AAPs) on (counter)stereotypical perceptions of women in decision-making positions. Study 1 (N = 178) revealed that participants – especially women – perceived women in decision-making positions as more masculine (i.e., agentic) than feminine (i.e., communal). Study 2 (N = 239) showed that different types of AA had different effects on the attribution of gender stereotypes to AAP beneficiaries: Women benefiting from a quota policy were perceived as being more communal than agentic, while those benefiting from weak preferential treatment were perceived as being more agentic than communal. Furthermore, we examined how the belief that AAPs threaten men’s access to decision-making positions influenced the attribution of these traits to AAP beneficiaries. The results showed that men who reported high levels of perceived threat, as compared to men who reported low levels of perceived threat, attributed more communal than agentic traits to the beneficiaries of quotas. These findings suggest that AAPs may have created a backlash against its beneficiaries by emphasizing gender-stereotypical or counterstereotypical traits. Thus, the framing of AAPs, for instance, as a matter of enhancing organizational performance, in the process of policy making and implementation, may be a crucial tool to countering potential backlash.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Shariah governance and corporate governance (CG) on the risk management practices (RMPs) of local Islamic banks and foreign Islamic banks operating in Malaysia. The Shariah governance comprises the Shariah review (SR) and Shariah audit (SA) variables. The study also evaluates the level of RMPs, CG, SR, and SA between these two type of banks. With the aid of SPSS version 20, the items for RMPs, CG, SR, and SA were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). From the PCA, one component or factor was extracted each for the CG, SR, and RMPs while another two factors were extracted for the SA. Primary data was collected using a self-administered survey questionnaire. The questionnaire covers four aspects ; CG, SR, SA, and RMPs. The data received from the 300 usable questionnaires were subjected to correlation and regression analyses as well as an independent t-test. The result of correlation analysis shows that all the four variables have large positive correlations with each other indicating a strong and significant relationship between them. From the regression analysis undertaken, CG, SR, and SA together explained 52.3 percent of the RMPs and CG emerged as the most influential variable that impacts the RMPs. The independent t-test carried out shows that there were significant differences in the CG and SA between the local and foreign Islamic banks. However, there were no significant differences between the two types of the bank in relation to SR and RMPs. The study has contributed to the body of knowledge and is beneficial to academicians, industry players, regulators, and other stakeholders.

Summary. The disbalanced feeding and the uneven distribution of micro- and macroelements in the environment leads to a trace element, in particular hypomelanosis. To accelerate the growth and preservation of young farm animals include in the diet of various biological additives and drugs, which include selenium. For stimulation of weight gain in the livestock industry, as well as for the prevention and treatment of pathological processes in addition to micro - and macrouse amino acids, primarily methionine. The aim of this work was to study the influence of composition of DAFS-25+Polizon on morpho-biochemical parameters of blood and functional state of the liver in fattening bulls of black-motley breed in the conditions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Experiments using were conducted on bull-calves of black-motley breed of the properties in the properties age from 6 to 15 months. The first experimental group during the experiment was additionally given the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg, the animals of the control group received a standard diet. To assess the impact of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon on metabolism cattle studied morphological and biochemical indicators of blood and conducted histological examination of the liver. It is established that the use of the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg increases the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the experimental group and reduces the amount of white blood cells. The serum content of total protein, phosphorus and calcium increases in the group of experimental animals. Microscopic examination of the liver revealed no changes in the structure of the organ and hepatocytes in the experimental group, whereas in the control group hemodynamic disorders and dystrophic changes in liver cells were observed. Thus, the use of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg of live weight in fattening bulls black-and-white breed contributes to the increase of redox processes in the body, stimulation of metabolism, prevent the development of liver disorders of cellular mechanisms of metabolism, optimizes the structure of the liver, which generally provides higher productivity.

Introduction. The impact on the body of such factors of the production environment as coal-rock dust and fluorine compounds leads to certain shift s in strict indicators of homeostasis at the system level. Maintaining the relative constancy of the internal environment of the body is provided by the functional consistency of all organs and systems, the leading of which is the liver. Organ repair plays a crucial role in restoring the structure of genetic material and maintaining normal cell viability. When this mechanism is damaged, the compensatory capabilities of the organ are disrupted, homeostasis is disrupted at the cellular and organizational levels, and the development of the main pathological processes is noted.The aim of the study is to compare the morphological mechanisms of maintaining structural homeostasis of the liver in the dynamics of the impact on the body of coal-rock dust and sodium fluoride.Materials and methods. Experimental studies were conducted on adult white male laboratory rats. Features of morphological mechanisms for maintaining structural homeostasis of the liver in the dynamics of exposure to coal-rock dust and sodium fluoride were studied on experimental models of pneumoconiosis and fluoride intoxication. For histological examination in experimental animals, liver sampling was performed after 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 weeks of the experiment.Results. The specificity of morphological changes in the liver depending on the harmful production factor was revealed. It is shown that chronic exposure to coal-rock dust and sodium fluoride is characterized by the development of similar morphological changes in the liver and its vessels from the predominance of the initial compensatory-adaptive to pronounced violations of the stromal and parenchymal components. Long-term inhalation of coal-rock dust at 1–3 weeks of seeding triggers adaptive mechanisms in the liver in the form of increased functional activity of cells, formation of double-core hepatocytes, activation of immunocompetent cells and endotheliocytes, ensuring the preservation of the parenchyma and the general morphostructure of the organ until the 12th week of the experiment. Exposure to sodium fluoride leads to early disruption of liver compensatory mechanisms and the development of dystrophic changes in the parenchyma with the formation of necrosis foci as early as the 6th week of the experiment.Conclusions. The study of mechanisms for compensating the liver structure in conditions of long-term exposure to coal-rock dust and sodium fluoride, as well as processes that indicate their failure, and the timing of their occurrence, is of theoretical and practical importance for developing recommendations for the timely prevention and correction of pathological conditions developing in employees of the aluminum and coal industry.The authors declare no conflict of interests.
