银铜复合电触点复合强度检测方法的讨论

贵金属及其合金铆钉型复合电触点除了应考核其冷态复合强度之外，还必须增加在热态下复合强度的考核，只有这样才能满足用户在产际运行时对复合触点复合强度的要求。     

DC and AC characteristics of sub-50-nm MOSFETs with source/drain-to-gate nonoverlapped structure

A MOSFET structure with a nonoverlapped source/drain (S/D) to gate region was proposed to overcome the challenges in sub-50-nm CMOS devices. Key device characteristics were investigated by extensive simulation study. Fringing gate electric field through the spacer induces an inversion layer in the nonoverlap region to act as an extended S/D region. An oxide spacer is used to reduce parasitic gate overlap capacitance. A reasonable amount of inversion electrons were induced under the spacers. Internal physics, speed characteristics, short channel effects, and RF characteristics were studied with the nonoverlap distance at a fixed metallurgical channel length of 40 nm. The proposed structure had good drain-induced barrier lowering and V/sub T/ rolloff characteristics and showed reasonable intrinsic gate delay and cutoff frequency compared to those of an overlapped structure.

A typed functional extension of logic programming

A logic language is suitable for specification if it is equipped with features for data abstraction and modularization. In this paper, an effective mechanism to incorporate function and type into logic programming is presented as the means to embed data abstraction mechanism into logic programming. This incorporation is essentially based on Horn clause logic with equality and a polymorphic type system that is an extension of Mycroft and O’Keefe’s system. This paper also presents an implementation based on Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) and shows the performance, along with a comparison with WAM.     

Awards for distinguished professional contributions: Robert B. McCall.

Presents the citation, biography, and selected bibliography for Robert B. McCall, one of the 1994 recipients of the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions--Distinguished Professional Contributions to Public Service. From McCall's citation: "Building on a prolific research career in child development, Robert B. McCall communicated the scientific findings of his colleagues to the public through the mass media, winning four national awards and demonstrating to a sometimes skeptical profession that such articles and TV programs could be both accurate and interesting. Subsequently, he became the inaugural director for the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development, a unique interdisciplinary, university-community facilitative unit that has broadened the definition of university public service to embrace partnerships among faculty and community service professionals, funders, and policymakers that have created innovative interdisciplinary training and research programs, human service demonstration and evaluation projects, and policy studies."

Synthesis and characterization of poly(siloxane-urethane)s

A series of polyurethane block copolymers based on hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and poly(propylene glycol) soft segments of molecular weights 1818 and 2000, respectively, were synthesized. The hard segments consisted of 4,4′-diphenylnethane diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as the chain extender. Samples with different molar ratios were prepared. We tried to synthesize polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethanes (PDMS-PU) containing a hard block as major fraction and a soft block as minor fraction for preparing toughened rigid systems. After a study of the pure polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethane and poly(propylene glycol)-based polyurethane (PPG-PU), (mixed polyol)-based block copolymers and blends of PDMS-PU and PPG-PU were synthesized, and characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy. In (mixed polyol)-based copolymers and lower hard-segment content blends, macro-phase separation occurred, but blends with higher hard-segment contents showed significant reduction in amounts of phase separation.     

Martha J. Farah.

Recognizes Martha J. Farah for rigorous empirical and theoretical analysis of visual cognition, in which understanding of normal function and analysis of neurological deficits illuminate and strengthen one another. Applying diverse experimental techniques within an integrated approach to the study of mind and brain, she has sharpened and helped to answer fundamental questions about how humans generate and manipulate visual images, recognize objects, and attend to positions in space. Along with a citation, a biography is presented for Farah, as well as a bibliography of her works. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Local synthesis of immunoglobulins in neuropathies

It is essential to know how the immune system acts in different neurological diseases, some of them non very well known or of unknown etiology at all. It was applied Reiber and Felgenhauer's formula in 56 patients with different diseases. IgA, IgM, IgG and albumin were quantified in sera and cerebrospinal fluid by simple immunodiffusion. It was observed more frequent IgG local synthesis and IgA in this sample.
