Sandwich structures of Carbazole thin films have been prepared by using vacuum deposition technique. The plot of current density
versus voltage (J–V characteristics) shows two distinct regions. In the lower voltage region ohmic conduction and in the higher voltage region
space charge limited conduction (SCLC) is observed. Number of states in the valence band (Nv) is calculated from the temperature dependence of J in the ohmic region. From the temperature dependence of J in the SCLC region trap density (Nt) and activation energy are determined. The values of Nv and Nt are in the order 1023 m−3 and 1027 m−3 respectively. The value of activation energy is nearly equal to 0.1 eV and that of the effective mobility is 4.5 × 10−7 cm2 V−1 S−1. Schottky diodes are fabricated using Aluminium (Al) as Schottky contact. It is observed that gold (Au) is more suitable
for ohmic contact compared to silver (Ag). From a semi logarithmic plot of J versus V, the barrier height (ϕb), diode ideality factor (n) and saturation current density (J0) are determined. The value of n increases and ϕb decreases on annealing. 相似文献
This paper analyzes the Russian software industry in the context of trade in information technology services. We assess Russia's underlying sources of competitive edge in software, such as its scientific establishments, education system, diaspora and low costs, and identify the institutional impediments to growth. A survey reveals that foreign outsourcing contracts, a high value-added niche and high education levels characterize Russia's small, privately held software firms. A comparison with the Indian software industry underscores the structural differences in outsourcing relationships developed by the two countries and emphasizes that national advantages are complex amalgamations of many factors and need to be overtly marketed. Beyond the resources that give comparative and competitive advantage to a transitioning economy, a critical role is played by powerful industry organizations and by non-market state institutions that can level the economic field and inject credibility into market structures. 相似文献
Slag foaming is an important phenomenon in steelmaking processes with both beneficial as well as negative effects. The present work is part of the wider project on the modelling of slag foaming, with special reference to dynamic conditions. Since bubble formation is the first step to foam formation, the present work was carried out in an attempt to simulate the bubble formation in slag/metal reactions in steelmaking processes by water‐modelling experiments. The bubble formation due to the gas produced through chemical reaction at the interface between oleic acid and sodium bicarbonate solution was systematically monitored. The chemical reaction rate was varied by varying the concentration of sodium bicarbonate. The bubbles were observed to be generated in the heavier aqueous phase just below the water‐oil interface. The bubbles penetrated the interface and escaped through the oil phase. The rate of the reaction was estimated from the volume of the gas that passed the water/oil interface. It was observed that the bubble formation and bubble growth mechanism were influenced by the reaction rate while the bubble size seemed to be unaffected by the reaction rate. 相似文献
The electrocardiogram is a representative signal containing information about the condition of the heart. The shape and size of the P-QRS-T wave, the time intervals between its various peaks, etc. may contain useful information about the nature of disease afflicting the heart. However, these subtle details cannot be directly monitored by the human observer. Besides, since bio-signals are highly subjective, the symptoms may appear at random in the time scale. Therefore, the signal parameters, extracted and analysed using computers, are highly useful in diagnostics. This paper deals with the classification of certain diseases using artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy equivalence relations. The heart rate variability is used as the base signal from which certain parameters are extracted and presented to the ANN for classification. The same data is also used for fuzzy equivalence classifier. The feedforward architecture ANN classifier is seen to be correct in about 85% of the test cases, and the fuzzy classifier yields correct classification in over 90% of the cases. 相似文献
Distributed sparing is a method to improve the performance of RAID5 disk arrays with respect to a dedicated sparing system with N+2 disks (including the spare disk), since it utilizes the bandwidth of all N+2 disks. We analyze the performance of RAID5 with distributed sparing in normal mode, degraded mode, and rebuild mode in an OLTP environment, which implies small reads and writes. The analysis in normal mode uses an M/G/1 queuing model, which takes into account the components of disk service time. In degraded mode, a low-cost approximate method is developed to estimate the mean response time of fork-join requests resulting from accesses to recreate lost data on the failed disk. Rebuild mode performance is analyzed by considering an M/G/1 vacationing server model with multiple vacations of different types to take into account differences in processing requirements for reading the first and subsequent tracks. An iterative solution method is used to estimate the mean response time of disk requests, as well as the time to read each disk, which is shown to be quite accurate through validation against simulation results. We next compare RAID5 performance in a system (1) without a cache; (2) with a cache; and (3) with a nonvolatile storage (NVS) cache. The last configuration, in addition to improved read response time due to cache hits, provides a fast-write capability, such that dirty blocks can be destaged asynchronously and at a lower priority than read requests, resulting in an improvement in read response time. The small write penalty is also reduced due to the possibility of repeated writes to dirty blocks in the cache and by taking advantage of disk geometry to efficiently destage multiple blocks at a time 相似文献
Fractal symbolic analysis is a symbolic analysis technique for verifying the legality of program transformations. It is strictly more powerful than dependence analysis; for example, it can be used to verify the legality of blocking LU factorization with pivoting, a task for which dependence analysis is inadequate. In this paper, we show how fractal symbolic analysis can be used to convert between left- and right-looking versions of three kernels of central importance in computational science: triangular solve, Cholesky factorization, and LU factorization with pivoting. 相似文献
We propose an implementation of the quantum fast Fourier transform algorithm in an entangled system of multilevel atoms. The Fourier transform occurs naturally in the unitary time evolution of energy eigenstates and is used to define an alternative wave-packet basis for quantum information in the atom. A change of basis from energy levels to wave packets amounts to a discrete quantum Fourier transform within each atom. The algorithm then reduces to a series of conditional phase transforms between two entangled atoms in mixed energy and wave-packet bases. We show how to implement such transforms using wave-packet control of the internal states of the ions in the linear ion-trap scheme for quantum computing. 相似文献

At the chromosomal level of evolution, recombination is a major factor for genetic variations. However, recombination does not occur with equal frequency at various regions of genome. The recombination has the tendency to occur at specific region with higher frequency and with low frequency at other regions, and former regions are named as hot recombination regions whereas later are called cold regions for recombination. In this paper, we have developed supervised machine learning-based models using artificial neural network, support vector machine and Naïve Bayes for efficient and effective classification of such hot and cold recombination regions based on the nucleotide composition of sequences. All models were validated and tested using tenfold cross-validation. Furthermore, neural network model was validated using leave one out and random sampling techniques in addition to tenfold cross-validation. Moreover, models were evaluated using receiver-operating curve. Our results indicate that artificial neural network achieves the best result.
