Novel Trade-offs in 5 nm FinFET SRAM Arrays at Extremely Low Temperatures by Shivendra Singh Parihar, Girish Pahwa, Baker Mohammad, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Hussam Amrouch

“…With the help of SRAM array simulations, we reveal that the maximum array size at extremely low temperatures is limited by WL parasitics instead of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$I$</tex-math></inline-formula>_leak, and the performance of the SRAM is governed by BL and WL parasitics. In addition, we elucidate the influence of transistor threshold voltage (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$V$</tex-math></inline-formula>_TH) engineering on the optimization of the SRAM array at extremely low temperature environments.…”

Maternal milk fat globule membrane enriched gut L. murinus and circulating SCFAs to improve placental efficiency and fetal development in intrauterine growth restricted mice model by Cuiping Feng, Yujun Wu, Xiangyu Zhang, Shuxian Wang, Junjun Wang, Huixia Yang

“…Meanwhile, MFGM supplementation during gestation enriched intestinal Lactobacillus murinus (L. murinus) and increased luminal and circulating short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in IUGR pregnant mice, which improved placental efficiency and fetal development due to an enhanced antioxidant capacity and a decreased inflammation. In addition, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) with MFGM-derived microbiota reprinted the promoted phenotypes of maternal litter characteristics, gut L. murinus enrichment, placental efficiency, and fetal gut development in MFGM-fed pregnant mice, which were also recapitulated by exogenous administration with L. murinus or SCFAs cocktail. …”
