Two-nanometer laser synthesized Si-nanoparticles for low power memory applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)
Current flash memory devices are expected to face two major challenges in the near future: density and voltage scaling. The density of the memory is related to the gate length scaling which is constrained by the gate stack, ...
Compact ultrafast oscillators and high performance ultrafast amplifiers based on ytterbium-doped fibers
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
This chapter reviews the fundamentals and achievements of ultrashort pulse generation and amplification in ytterbium-doped fibers. Compact and ultrastable passively mode-locked fiber oscillators represent an ideal seed ...
Introduction : international educational exchanges and the promotion of peace and intercultural understanding
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)
With the rapid growth worldwide in numbers of people participating in international educational exchanges, the need to better understand the various roles such exchanges can play in social and political life also increases. ...
Generation kill and the new screen combat
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016)
No one could accuse the American cultural industries of giving the Iraq War the silent treatment. Between the 24-hour news cycle and fictionalized entertainment, war narratives have played a significant and evolving role ...
Bioactive nanomaterials for neural engineering
(Springer, Cham, 2016)
Nervous system is a highly complex interconnected network and higher organisms including humans have limited neural regeneration capacity. Neurodegenerative diseases result in significant cognitive, sensory, or motor ...
Linear canonical domains and degrees of freedom of signals and systems
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
We discuss the relationships between linear canonical transform (LCT) domains, fractional Fourier transform (FRT) domains, and the space-frequency plane. In particular, we show that LCT domains correspond to scaled fractional ...
Optical implementation of linear canonical transforms
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
We consider optical implementation of arbitrary one-dimensional and two-dimensional linear canonical and fractional Fourier transforms using lenses and sections of free space. We discuss canonical decompositions, which are ...
Our plastic brain: Remembering and forgetting art
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2016)
In What Should We Do With Our Brain? Catherine Malabou exposes a necessary dialectic at the foundation of neuroplasticity, where ‘the foundation of each identity is a kind of resilience […] a kind of contradictory construction, ...
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), aging, neuroscience, and their association with aging-related diseases
(Elsevier Inc., 2016)
Normal aging is accompanied by cognitive impairment with subtle cellular and molecular changes in the brain, whereas, pathological brain aging manifests as severe behavioral impairments with cellular pathology. Understanding ...
Herding in Middle Eastern frontier markets: are local and global factors important?
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this study we look for sentimental herding in a sample of frontier markets in the Middle East, using a state-space approach. The stock markets we consider are Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait. We use daily data to ...
