Simulation of Breakdown Characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Double Passivation Layers

Nakano K., Hanawa H., Horio K., Shibaura Institute of Technology, JP

It is well known that the introduction of field plate increases the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. However, it increases the parasitic capacitance, leading to the degradation of high-frequency performance. As another way to improve [...]

Application of Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence to Wastewater Treatment

, Cascade Clean Energy, Inc., US

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a branch of artificial intelligence, which has been existing in nature among grouping and activities of animals, birds, ants, fish or even microbes. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, [...]

Two Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Dodecahedral Structure

Sanchez Bernabe F., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two nonclassical fullerene are presented. The first one contains heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons.This example contains 420 carbons. There are 60 heptagons. The number of hexagons is 80, and finally, we have 72 pentagons. [...]

Molecular Modeling of Silicon-Based Anode Material for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Schweizer S., Low J.J., Subramanian L., Scienomics, US

Lithium(Li)-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices. Their use as energy storage system in other important industrial fields - such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, or photo voltaic plants - is limited by [...]

Recent Advances in Industrial Coarse-Grained Method Development & Modeling

Handgraaf J.-W., Fraaije J.G.E.M., Culgi, NL

In present day the crux of performing coarse-grained simulations is the actual parameterization of the (molecular) interactions and the validation of the outcome of a simulation. In a recent effort we have work on the [...]

Materials data management in research & development: improving innovation and product liability

Ehrig T., Klepsch L., IMA Materialforschung und Anwendungstechnik GmbH, DE

Challenge Companies produce a huge amount of notes and tables, especially for their research and development processes. A lot of different tools are used to store such information:  Note-taking apps, like Mind-Mappers, One-Note, ... [...]

High-Sensitivity and Low-Hysteresis Inter-digital Type Capacitive Humidity Sensor on Glass Substrate by Aerosol Deposited BaTiO3

Kim E.S., Kim N.Y., Wang C., Wang Z.J., Wang C., Wang Z.J., Yao Z., Liang J.G., Kim E.S., Kim N.Y., Kwangwoon University, KR

A high-sensitivity and low-hysteresis inter-digital type capacitive humidity sensor is fabricated using Aerosol deposition (AD) of BaTiO3 films. Aerosol deposition (AD) uses shock-loading-solidification preparation mechanism as a novel ceramic film preparation technique, exhibiting the advantages [...]

Reusable Biosensor for Detecting Diabetes by Microwave LC Resonator on Integrated Passive Design (IPD) Process

Kim E.S., Kim N.Y., Chuluunbaatar Z., Wang C., Yao Z., Adhikari K.K., Kim E.S., Kim N.Y., Kwangwoon University, KR

This works present a level-free biosensor for detecting diabetes with high sensitivity and rapidity by microwave LC resonator based on integrated passive device (IPD) technology. The structure of the proposed consists of the square meandered [...]

In-Transit Visibility and Total Asset Visibility for Cold Chain Supply Logistics

McCleland B., Russell T.W., Myconi Technologies, US

Thousands of temperature sensitive products that require continual monitoring and controls are shipped every day. Last year, temperature-compromised pharmaceutical products cost the industry $35.0 billion. Almost 30% of products in the perishable food market were [...]

SERS Detection of DNA-Bound Methylthioninium Chloride on Gold Coated Substrates.

Shattique M.R., Stepanova M., Missouri State University, US

Nano-biological systems interfacing solid nano-structured solid surfaces with biological compounds such as oligonucleotides or proteins are highly regarded as enabling materials for biosensing and biocatalysis applications. In particular nanostructures of noble metals such as gold [...]
