Strain-Engineered MOSFETs
This book brings together new developments in the area of strain-engineered MOSFETs using high-mibility substrates such as SIGe, strained-Si, germanium-on-insulator and III-V semiconductors into a single text which will cover the materials aspects, principles, and design of advanced devices, their fabrication and applications. The book presents a full TCAD methodology for strain-engineering in Si CMOS technology involving data flow from process simulation to systematic process variability simulation and generation of SPICE process compact models for manufacturing for yield optimization
Management of the exstrophy-epispadias complex in adolescents and adults
Objectives: To study the presentation and management of the exstrophy-epispadias complex in adolescents and adults and to evaluate the outcome of the repair.Subjects and methods: This retrospective review of our medical records of adult patients with an exstrophy-epispadias complex managed between January 2010 and June 2015 included one female and 7 male patients. Only patients aged above 10 years who had not undergone any surgical treatment during childhood were included in the study. All patients were subjected to preoperative biopsy from the urinary bladder plate. None of them underwent cystectomy. Seven patients underwent urinary bladder augmentation using ileocystoplasty, bladder neck reconstruction with para-urethral tissue closure using a wedge of pubic bone, and single-stage epispadias repair. In one patient epispadias repair was not done due to intraoperative hemodynamic instability.Results: All patients are continent but one in whom epispadias repair was not done and who is waiting for epispadias repair. One patient has developed a urethro-cutaneous fistula at the base of the penis. Two patients developed urinary bladder stones, and both of them were managed by minimally invasive methods. All the patients are on clean intermittent self-catheterization. They are all doing well socially and psychologically.Conclusion: Though exstrophy-epispadias in adolescents and adults is a rare entity, the described modified surgical technique provides good results and improves the patients’ social and psychological well being.Keywords: Exstrophy-epispadias complex; Adolescent; Adulthoo

Multi-item fuzzy inventory model for deteriorating items with finite time-horizon and time-dependent demand
This paper develops a finite time-horizon fuzzy multi-deteriorating inventory model with/without shortage, where the demand increases linearly with time. Here, the total profit is to be maximized under the limitation on investment. In this problem, total profit, total investment cost and the time-horizon are fuzzy in nature. The impreciseness in the above objective and constraint goals have been expressed by fuzzy linear/nonlinear membership functions and vagueness in time-horizon by different types of fuzzy numbers. Results are illustrated with numerical examples
Distribution of Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria along the Intertidal Zones of Sunderban Mangrove Ecosystems, NE Coast of Bay of Bengal, India
405-411Population of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
along the different tidal zones of Sundarban Mangrove forest sediment was studied
to determine their distribution with the availability of different nutrients
and other physicochemical parameters. Lower littoral zone (LLZ) along the shore
which remains inundated by sea water showed more population of anaerobic
bacteria (212 x 104 CFUg-1) than that of mid littoral
zone(MLZ) (102 x 104 CFUg-1) and upper littoral zone(ULZ)
(60 x 104 CFUg-1). Population of aerobic bacteria was
found to be maximum in ULZ (57 x 104 CFUg-1) compared to
MLZ (46 x 104 CFUg-1) and LLZ (14 x 104 CFUg-1).
Population of methanogens increased with rise of sea level which in turn
emitted more methane than CO2. A stable dynamic equilibrium for
growth rate of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria observed in ULZ and is
ecologically more consistent than LLZ particularly with respect to methane
emission from sediment. Anaerobic bacteria are relatively more tolerant to
variable salinity, pH and other physicochemical factors than the aerobic
bacteria
