Switching conduction in ion-irradiated layers in GaAs

Experiments have been performed to investigate whether switching phenomena are observable in ion-irradiated GaAs. It is found that the V/I characteristics of H2+-and N+-irradiated layers show both negative resistance and switching from a high resistance to a low resistance state. Ion irradiation may thus be a useful method of fabricating switching devices.     

Electricity in China-generation in the People's Republic

Before the establishment of the People's Republic, China was a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society plagued by foreign interventions and internal power struggles. It was against this background that the electrical industry went through its infancy. Today, the People's Republic of China is facing an acute energy shortage, posing a problem which must be quickly overcome if the country's rapid industrialisation is to continue as planned. The author presents a brief history of power generation in China from 1949 to 1983 and examines possibilities for the future     

Telecommunications' role in national development in Ghana

Ghana has recognized the need for efficient and reliable telecommunication services. The widespread availability of these services will promote the nation's economic advancement and the decentralization of the government's activities. To achieve the objective of bringing telecommunications to all the people of Ghana, private sector participation is considered essential as a source of management skills, technology, and financing that will be required for the provision of services. In order to attract such participation, Ghana is putting in place the necessary policy, institutional, and regulatory frameworks to create an enabling environment for private sector investment in the telecommunication sector

Telecommunications in Malaysia: diversity in adversity

The telecommunications industry in Malaysia has experienced a tremendous transformation in just over a decade. The government-owned Jabatan Talikom, which hitherto operated the network, was incorporated in 1987 and subsequently privatized a few years later, with a majority share holding by the government. The regulatory aspects were spun off under the slim looking JTM. This marked the beginning of liberalization, and many new players entered the fray. This article reviews the telecommunications infrastructure and services available in Malaysia and visits some of the telcos offering these services. Some pertinent issues affecting the industry are also discussed     

Losses in small-radius bends in single-mode fibres

Refractive index profiles and mode field radii determine small-radius bending losses in single-mode fibres. Losses in six different types of fibres were measured in bends with radii ranging from 1.25 to 8 mm. The results show that a refractive index depression in the core centre reduces the bending-loss sensitivity.<>     

Rearrangements in cell populations in malignant growth

It is emphasized that one of signs of malignant growth is heterogeneity of cell population which arises at the earliest pretumour stages and determines the character of tumour progression. At the same time by means of selective influences on population of malignant cells it is possible to change their quantitative correlation and to obtain rearrangement of the normal cell interrelations. Initiation of the tumour, its progression and regression are considered on the basis of the population-cell rearrangement, typical of each of them separately. The concept of the unity of the carcinogenesis and anticarcinogenesis processes is also formulated.     

Recent Progress in Communication Theory in Japan

Noise in DMOS transistors in a BICMOS-technology

An experimental and theoretical study of the 1/f noise and the thermal noise in double-diffused MOS (DMOS) transistors in a BICMOS-technology has been carried out. By using an analytical model that consists of an enhancement MOS transistor in series with a depletion MOS transistor and a resistance, and by attributing noise sources to each device, the noise in DMOS devices is simulated accurately. Three distinct regions of operation are defined: enhancement transistor control, depletion transistor control and the linear region. In the first region, the noise is strictly determined by the enhancement transistor. It was found that the 1/f noise in this region is caused by mobility fluctuations and is very low. In the depletion transistor control region both transistors influence the total noise. Here the 1/f noise is dominated by the depletion transistor. The series resistance is only of importance in the linear region     

Zeroing in on ethical issues in nanotechnology

Setting aside exaggerated notions of both the benefits and harms to be expected from nanotechnologies, we need to focus ethical investigation on specific initiatives at the nano scale that are already underway or planned. The aims are to anticipate ethical issues likely to arise in specific cases, to foster sensitivity to ethical issues and responsibility among nano specialists and policy makers, and to stimulate interchange between nano specialists and members of the public so that the public can become involved. After clarifying what the term "nanotechnology" embraces and looking at cautionary lessons from experience with the information technologies and biotechnology, the discussion turns to the importance of anticipating consequences, intended and unintended. Although specific nano options to consider are lacking, a brief survey indicates the issues to watch out for: preventable harms, conflicts about justice and fairness, respect for persons, and more specifically, safeguards for workers in new production processes, intellectual property concerns, preservation of university values in university/industry relationships, and conflicts of interest. Three main fronts of activity are needed to address ethical issues: 1) incorporating ethics research into nano research and development enterprises; 2) devising mechanisms to involve the public so that their perspectives and concerns feed back into research and development; and 3) initiating educational efforts at every level addressing both technical aspects and ethics and social implications aspects.     

General Trend in Electrical Communications in Japan

Systems are currently being designed for higher reliability and greater economy. Larger transmission capacity is required to meet a rapid increase in recent communication demands instigated by the introduction of video and information communications facilities. More flexibility, to deal with the variety of communication modes to come, and smaller hardware dimensions, to overcome situations caused by the high population density, seem to be particularly sought in the communication technology of Japan. Research and development concentrate on these objectives. The following is an explanation of the present state of the art and general trends in this country.

NBTI is discussed in terms of characterization using On-The-Fly (OTF) methodology. Extension of OTF method is discussed using bias patterns to gain insights into NBTI under analog operation. A reliability simulation methodology is discussed against requirements for optimization and integration within an existing design flow. The features of this methodology are illustrated using some simple design examples.     

Two-wave mixing in reflection holograms in photorefractivematerials

The intensity and phase of two counterpropagating optical beams in a photorefractive material are investigated both numerically and by using an approximate analytical theory. It is shown that in the reflection regime they are two situations where coupling between the beams may be spatially dependent; in the case of nearly degenerate two-wave mixing, and when a photocurrent is present. In these situations, previously obtained results may need significant correction
