Examination of Building Fires Occurred in Artvin City Center Between 2013-2017 by İlknur Bekem Kara

“…It was seen that 51% of the burning buildings were reinforced concrete and 27% were made of wood; fires in public buildings were 10.5% of all building fires; 10% of the public buildings that the firefighters intervened in all fire incidents were completely burned while 34% of private buildings were completely burned; the first place for the reasons in output of private building fires was the "electricity contact"; in the building fires, 1 person lost his/her life and the financial loss arising from building fires was 3.739.000 TL.…”

Step-necking growth of silicon nanowire channels for high performance field effect transistors by Lei Wu, Zhiyan Hu, Lei Liang, Ruijin Hu, Junzhuan Wang, Linwei Yu

“…Compared to the FETs with uniform silicon nanowire channels, our step-necked silicon nanowire FETs exhibit substantially enhanced on/off current ratio Ion/off > 8 × 107 and a sharper subthreshold swing of 70 mV/dec, thanks to a stronger gating effect in the middle channel and markedly improved electric contacts at the thicker source/drain ends. These findings mark the pioneering experimental demonstration of catalytic growth acting as a deterministic fabrication method for precisely crafting engineered FET channels, ideally fitting the requirements of high-performance large-area displays and sensors.…”
