Canada’s Approach for Assessment of Nanomaterials in Commerce : Prioritization and Tools for Assessing Consumer Exposure

Zhang Y., L. Lemieux C., Zein Aghaij M., Vladisavljevic D., Hill M., Health Canada, CA

Given the ever increasing use of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) worldwide, Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada have undertaken an initiative to prioritize and assess nanomaterials in commerce in Canada for risk to human [...]

MEMS Inertial Sensors for Cyber-Physical Systems: Trustworthy Sensing, Secure Communication, Data Fusion and Information Control

Herlihy L., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper reports the experimental results for the inertial measurement units (IMUs). Consistent models are found. The documented findings and models can be used in the descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analyses. Our findings are substantiated [...]

A New Analytical Energy Relaxation Time Model for Device Simulation

Palankovski V., Kosina H., Hernandez A., Selberherr S., TU Vienna, AT

We present an empirical model for the electron energy relaxation time. It is based on Monte-Carlo simulation results and is applicable to all relevant diamond and zinc-blende structure semiconductors. The energy relaxation times are expressed [...]
