In this study we investigate the influence of the operation here method in Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) on the measured potential distribution.KPFM is widely used to map the nanoscale potential distribution in operating devices, e.g., in thin film transistors or on cross sections of functional solar cells.Quantitative surface potential meas
Abstract Several observational studies have found a link between read more the long-term use of benzodiazepines and dementia, which remains controversial.Our study was designed to assess (i) whether the long-term use of benzodiazepines, at two different doses, has an irreversible effect on cognition, (ii) and whether there is an age-dependent effec
http://dx.doi.org/10.5028/jatm.v5i1.192 The present work here addresses a sensitivity analysis investigation of the aeroelastic stability margins for the VSB-30 sounding rocket during the atmospheric flight phase.Parametric stability analyses are performed considering variations of the inertia properties of the modular payload.Such variations can b
We give a brief review of the current constraints and prospects for detection of higgsino dark matter in low-scale supersymmetry.In the first part we argue, after performing a survey of all potential dark matter particles in the MSSM, that the (nearly) pure higgsino is the only candidate emerging virtually unscathed from the wealth of observational
Pollution derived from transportation systems is a worldwide, timelier issue than ever.The abatement actions of harmful substances in the air are on the agenda and they are necessary today to safeguard our welfare and that of the planet.Environmental pollution in large cities is approximately 20% due to the transportation system.In addition, privat
