Carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) utilize a semiconducting CNT channel controlled by an isolated electrostatic gate. The essential physics of these devices is captured in a numerical model that allows calculation of energy band diagrams and currentvoltage (I-V) relationships to describe their be…

Mill visits were conducted to evaluate the effect of Visual Quality Level (VQL) restrictions of edge knots on the yields of Machine Stress Rated (MSR) lumber. This initial study indicated that edge knots contribute significantly to the amount of MSR lumber that is being downgraded because of visual override requiremen…

There is a clear clinical requirement for longer acting local anaesthetics, particularly for the management of post-operative and chronic pain. In this regard, liposomes have been suggested to represent a potentially useful vehicle for sustained drug release following local administration. In this thesis, a transmembr…

ABSTRACT:Ozone caused the crack on the surface of a rubber article by oxidation of double bond at room temperature. Wax migrates to the surface of a rubber article and makes a physical barrier to prevent process of ozonation. We investigated change of molecular weight distribution of waxes in unfilled NR, SBR, and BR…

Shaped concrete barriers are employed as roadside protection in many highway jurisdictions. Those found in British Columbia, Canada, are assemblages of 2.5 m precast concrete segments. Two types of barrier are currently employed: a 810 mm high barrier used for median protection and 690 mm tall roadside barriers instal…
