Monte Carlo Simulation of Photoresponse in Silicon Photodiodes with <i>p-n</i>-Junction and <i>p-i-n</i>-Structure by A. V. Borzdov, V. M. Borzdov, D. N. Buinouski, A. N. Petlitsky

“…Photoresponse in silicon submicron photodiodes with a p-n-junction and photodiodes with a p-i-n-structure was calculated for different thicknesses of the undoped i-region. It was shown that use of simple models similar to the Keldysh model with constant values of the threshold energy and other parameters for calculating the rate of the impact ionization process did not allow obtaining values of the ionization coefficient matched with experimental data in a wide range of electric field strengths. …”

A Novel, Open Access Method to Assess Sleep Duration Using a Wrist-Worn Accelerometer. by Vincent T van Hees, Séverine Sabia, Kirstie N Anderson, Sarah J Denton, James Oliver, Michael Catt, Jessica G Abell, Mika Kivimäki, Michael I Trenell, Archana Singh-Manoux

“…This estimate was lower for time in bed for women, depressed participants, those reporting more insomnia symptoms, and on weekend days. No such group differences were found for total sleep duration. Our algorithm was validated against data from a polysomnography study on 28 persons which found a longer time window and lower angle threshold to have better sensitivity to wakefulness, while the reverse was true for sensitivity to sleep. …”
