Use of cermet thin film resistors with nitride passivated metal insulator field effect transistor
Film deposition of cermet resistors on same chip with metal nitride oxide silicon field effect transistors permits protection of contamination sensitive active devices from contaminants produced in cermet deposition and definition processes. Additional advantages include lower cost, greater reliability, and space savings
Indomethacin-antihistamine combination for gastric ulceration control
An anti-inflammatory and analgesic composition containing indomethacin and an H sub 1 or an H sub 2 histamine receptor antagonist in an amount sufficient to reduce gastric distress caused by the indomethacin is described. Usable antagonists include pyrilamine, promethazine, metiamide and cimetidine
Corporate Social Responsibility in European Sport Clubs: Analysis and Classification of Activities/Programs
Aim of paper and research questions: This study seeks to understand Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in European sport clubs by analysing and classifying the CSR activities and programs. Specifically, the study had two objectives: (1) To conduct a web-based analysis of documents, articles, and reports of the European sport clubs that already have CSR programs in place and (2) To determine the attributes and the type of those CSR programs
Attitudes in Physics Education: An Alternative Approach to Teaching Physics to Non-Science College Students
In this article, we present an alternative way of teaching conceptual physics for non-science majors by depicting the role of physics in today\u27s technology. The goal of this approach is to increase in the minds of non-science students the acceptance of physics as a useful component in general education, and as a major tool in comprehending the present-day technological world experienced by students outside the classroom
Temporal and Spatial Turbulent Spectra of MHD Plasma and an Observation of Variance Anisotropy
The nature of MHD turbulence is analyzed through both temporal and spatial
magnetic fluctuation spectra. A magnetically turbulent plasma is produced in
the MHD wind-tunnel configuration of the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment (SSX).
The power of magnetic fluctuations is projected into directions perpendicular
and parallel to a local mean field; the ratio of these quantities shows the
presence of variance anisotropy which varies as a function of frequency.
Comparison amongst magnetic, velocity, and density spectra are also made,
demonstrating that the energy of the turbulence observed is primarily seeded by
magnetic fields created during plasma production. Direct spatial spectra are
constructed using multi-channel diagnostics and are used to compare to
frequency spectra converted to spatial scales using the Taylor Hypothesis.
Evidence for the observation of dissipation due to ion inertial length scale
physics is also discussed as well as the role laboratory experiment can play in
understanding turbulence typically studied in space settings such as the solar
wind. Finally, all turbulence results are shown to compare fairly well to a
Hall-MHD simulation of the experiment.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figures, Submitted to Astrophysical Journa
Bioassessment of the West Fork of the White River, Northwest Arkansas
The West Fork-White River has been and continues to be an important water resource for northwest Arkansas. It is used recreationally for fishing and swimming, agriculturally as a source of water for livestock and irrigation of crops, it is mined for gravel, used as a receiving stream for municipal wastewater effluent, and contributes to Beaver Lake which provides water for treatment and distribution to most of northwest Arkansas. While these uses have benefited a large segment of the Arkansas population, they have also contributed to the decline in environmental quality of the river. To facilitate the development of appropriate management protocols and assess restoration potential, we provided a biological assessment of the West ForkWhite River to complement studies of its physical and chemical properties. This holistic evaluation can be used presently, and to track changes in the environmental quality of the river in the future
