Groove-type channel enhancement-mode Al GaN/GaN MIS HEMT with combined polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures

A novel groove-type channel enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN MIS high electron mobility transistor(GTCE-HEMT)with a combined polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN heterostucture is presented. The device simulation shows a threshold voltage of 1.24 V, peak transconductance of 182 m S/mm, and subthreshold slope of 85 m V/dec, which are obtained by adjusting the device parameters. Interestingly, it is possible to control the threshold voltage accurately without precisely controlling the etching depth in fabrication by adopting this structure. Besides, the breakdown voltage(VB) is significantly increased by 78% in comparison with the value of the conventional MIS-HEMT. Moreover, the fabrication process of the novel device is entirely compatible with that of the conventional depletion-mode(D-mode) polar AlGaN/GaN HEMT. It presents a promising way to realize the switch application and the E/D-mode logic circuits.     

Parameter allocation of parallel array bistable stochastic resonance and its application in communication systems

In this paper, we propose a parameter allocation scheme in a parallel array bistable stochastic resonance-based communication system(P-BSR-CS) to improve the performance of weak binary pulse amplitude modulated(BPAM) signal transmissions. The optimal parameter allocation policy of the P-BSR-CS is provided to minimize the bit error rate(BER)and maximize the channel capacity(CC) under the adiabatic approximation condition. On this basis, we further derive the best parameter selection theorem in realistic communication scenarios via variable transformation. Specifically, the P-BSR structure design not only brings the robustness of parameter selection optimization, where the optimal parameter pair is not fixed but variable in quite a wide range, but also produces outstanding system performance. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that in the P-BSR-CS the proposed parameter allocation scheme yields considerable performance improvement, particularly in very low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) environments.     

Stabilization of switched systems with polytopic uncertainties via composite quadratic functions

This paper studied the stabilization of switched linear systems with polytopic uncertainties by employing the methods of nonsmooth analysis and the composite quadratic Lyapunov functions. Above all, the minimum quadratic functions and the directional derivatives along the vertex directions of subsystems are applied to construct the new switching law. Then, some sufficient conditions for stabilization of switched linear systems are established considering the sliding modes and the directional derivatives along sliding modes. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the synthesis results.

Strong convergence of composite iterative methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems

We introduce a new composite iterative scheme by viscosity approximation method for finding a common point of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. It is proved that the sequence generated by the iterative scheme converges strongly to a common point of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping. Our results substantially improve the corresponding results of Takahashi and Takahashi [A. Takahashi, W. Takahashi, Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (2007) 506-515]. Essentially a new approach for finding solutions of equilibrium problems and the fixed points of nonexpansive mappings is provided.

Development of polyelectrolyte multilayer-coated electrospun cellulose acetate fiber mat as composite membranes

Electrostatic multilayers of chitosan (CHI)/sodium alginate (SA) and CHI/poly(styrene sulfonate) sodium salt (PSS) were alternatively coated on electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) fiber mat. Morphologies of the composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The morphology of the CHI/SA-coated membrane was denser than the CHI/PSS-coated one. The top layers consisted of carboxyl and sulfonic functional groups for SA and PSS layers, respectively. Amino groups of CHI were only presented in slight quantity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the deposition of the amino groups of CHI on the multilayer membrane surface. These composite membranes were characterized for its water permeability where the water flux decreased with an increase in the number of the bilayers. The water flux was in the range of 60 and 40 L m⁻² h⁻¹ for 15 and 25 bilayered membranes, respectively. The sodium chloride (NaCl) solution flux was lower than the pure water flux due to the effect of osmotic pressure, and it decreased with an increase in the NaCl concentration. The rejection of NaCl increased substantially with the number of the bilayers of the polyelectrolytes multilayers. The level of NaCl rejection from this work was in the range of 6% and 15% for 15 and 25 bilayered membranes, respectively.     

Effects of Cu~(2+) on characteristic of SV currents

Applying the patch-clamp technique to vacuoles from Radish we studied the effects of Cu2 on Slow Vacuolar (SV) current’s characteristic. Our results show that Cu2 in bath solution at higher concentration inhibits SV currents and the percentage of inhibition increases with increasing concentration and changes with different voltage. When at lower concentration, Cu2 significantly promotes the SV currents and the promotion ratio decrease with increasing voltage. At the same time, the time constants of activation become lesser after adding Cu2 . These results show that there may be some Cu2 binding sites on SV channels and binding to which can change SV current’s characteristic.     

Preparation and characterization of mono-valent ion selective polypyrrole composite ion-exchange membranes

Polypyrrole composite cation- and anion-exchange membranes (CEM and AEM), in which polypyrrole (PPY) coated on one surface of the membrane as a thin layer, were prepared by chemical polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of high oxidant concentration (Na₂S₂O₈). Existence of polypyrrole layer on the both types of ion-exchange membranes were confirmed by recording their coating density, SEM images and conductivity. These membranes were extensively characterized by recording their properties such as water uptake, ion-exchange capacity, contact angle, permselectivity and membrane conductivity as a function of polymerization time such as. It was observed that due to coating of PPY for 2 h, membrane permselectivity of CEM for NaCl (0.907) was reduced to 0.873, while it was increased from 0.747 to 0.889 in the case of AEM. Similar behaviors were also obtained for bi-valent electrolytes. Electrodialysis experiments were also conducted with polypyrrole composite ion-exchange membranes using mixed electrolytic systems. Relative dialytic rates for NaCl with respect to other bi-valent electrolyte were varied in between 5 and 8 (depending on bi-valent electrolyte), which suggested the feasible and efficient separation of mono-valent from bi-valent electrolyte. Slower electro-migration of bi-valent electrolyte (CaCl₂, MgCl₂ and CuCl₂) in comparison to NaCl was explained on the basis of synergetic effect of sieving of bulkier bi-valent cations by tight and rigid polypyrrole layer and the difference in electrostatic and hydrophobic–hydrophilic repulsion force between bi-valent cations and mono-valent cation. It was concluded that these composite membranes are suitable for the efficient separation of same type of charged ions by electro-driven separation techniques.
