Effects of Forming Gas Anneal on Ultrathin InGaAs Nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors
(American Institute of Physics, 2013)InGaAs gate-all-around metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with 6 nm nanowire thickness have been experimentally demonstrated at sub-80 nm channel length. The effects of forming gas anneal (FGA) ... -
Effects of future climate change on regional air pollution episodes in the United States
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)We examine the impact of future climate change on regional air pollution meteorology in the United States by conducting a transient climate change (1950–2052) simulation in a general circulation model (GCM) of the Goddard ... -
Effects of geometric and material nonlinearities on tunable band gaps and low-frequency directionality of phononic crystals
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We investigate the effects of geometric and material nonlinearities introduced by deformation on the linear dynamic response of two-dimensional phononic crystals. Our analysis not only shows that deformation can be ... -
Effects of gravitational-wave recoil on the dynamics and growth of supermassive black holes
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Simulations of binary black hole mergers indicate that asymmetrical gravitational wave (GW) emission can cause black holes to recoil at speeds up to thousands of km s(-1). These GW recoil events can dramatically affect the ... -
Effects of Human Cerebellar Thalamus Disruption on Adaptive Control of Reaching
(Oxford University Press, 2005)Lesion or degeneration of the cerebellum can profoundly impair adaptive control of reaching in humans. Computational models have proposed that internal models that help control movements form in the cerebellum and influence ... -
The Effects of Interest Rates on Mortgage Prepayments
(Blackwell Publishing, 1986)<p>Three main types of mortgages are fixed interest contracts which automatically fall due on the sale of a dwelling, fixed rate loans which are assumable by a buyer, and floating rate instruments. When interest rates rise, ... -
Effects of Intermediate Mass Black Holes on Nuclear Star Clusters
(American Astronomical Society, 2014)Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense stellar clusters observed in galactic nuclei, typically hosting a centralmassive black hole. Here we study the possible formation and evolution of NSCs through the inspiral of multiple ... -
The Effects of International Monetary Fund Loans on Health Outcomes
(Public Library of Science, 2008)A "Perspective article" that discusses an article by David Stuckler and colleagues showing that, in Eastern European and former Soviet countries, participation in International Monetary Fund economic programs have been ... -
Effects of Intravenous Ketamine on Explicit and Implicit Measures of Suicidality in Treatment-Resistant Depression
(Elsevier, 2009)Background Intravenous ketamine has shown rapid antidepressant effects in early trials, making it a potentially attractive candidate for depressed patients at imminent risk of suicide. The Implicit Association Test (IAT), ... -
Effects of Left Inferior Prefrontal Stimulation on Episodic Memory Formation: A Two-Stage fMRI—rTMS Study
(MIT Press - Journals, 2004)Successful recovery of words from episodic memory relies strongly on semantic processes at the time of encoding. Evidence from several functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies has shown that changes in neural ... -
Effects of linguistic context on the acceptability of co-speech gestures
(Ubiquity Press, Ltd., 2018)We ask whether iconic co-speech gestures are judged as more natural by naive participants when their content is entailed by a preceding context, or repeated in the same utterance, or when they contribute new information ... -
Effects of Low Temperature O2 Treatment on the Electrical Characteristics of Amorphous LaAlO3 Films by Atomic Layer Deposition
(Electrochemical Society, 2008)Amorphous LaAlO3 films were deposited on hydrogen-terminated silicon substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at 300 oC. The precursors were lanthanum tris(N,N'-diisopropylformamidinate), trimethylaluminum (TMA) and ... -
Effects of mammalian herbivore declines on plant communities: observations and experiments in an African savanna
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)1. Herbivores influence the structure and composition of terrestrial plant communities. However, responses of plant communities to herbivory are variable and depend on environmental conditions, herbivore identity and ... -
Effects of Maternal Input on Language in the Absence of Genetic Confounds: Vocabulary Development in Internationally Adopted Children
(Cognitive Science Society, 2010)Parents provide children with both genes (nature) and linguistic input (nurture). A growing body of research demonstrates that individual differences in children's language are correlated with differences in parental speech. ... -
Effects of molecular resonances on Rydberg blockade
(American Physical Society (APS), 2015)We study the effect of resonances associated with complex molecular interaction of Rydberg atoms on Rydberg blockade. We show that densely spaced molecular potentials between doubly excited atomic pairs become unavoidably ... -
The effects of nicotine on cone and rod b-wave responses in larval zebrafish
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013-06-28)Acetylcholine is present in and released from starburst amacrine cells in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), but its role in retinal function except, perhaps, in early development, is unclear. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors ... -
Effects of Non-Symbolic Approximate Number Practice on Symbolic Numerical Abilities in Pakistani Children
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Current theories of numerical cognition posit that uniquely human symbolic number abilities connect to an early developing cognitive system for representing approximate numerical magnitudes, the approximate number system ... -
The effects of Obama's political success on the self-rated health of Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites
(International Society on Hypertention in Blacks, 2011)Stress in the social environment can affect individual health. Election of the first Black President of the United States provides an opportunity to assess how a positive change in the macro-political climate impacts the ... -
Effects of Odd–Even Side Chain Length of Alkyl-Substituted Diphenylbithiophenes on First Monolayer Thin Film Packing Structure
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Because of their preferential two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth in thin films, 5,5′bis(4-alkylphenyl)-2,2′-bithiophenes (P2TPs) are model compounds for studying the effects of systematic chemical structure variations ... -
Effects of Orography and Surface Heat Fluxes on the South Asian Summer Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)A high-resolution (40 km horizontal) global model is used to examine controls on the South Asian summer monsoon by orography and surface heat fluxes. In a series of integrations with altered topography and reduced surface ...
