Proposal of High-Temperature-Operation Tolerant SOI MOSFET and Preliminary Study on Device Performance Evaluation by Yasuhisa Omura

“…It is shown that its threshold voltage is higher than that of the conventional SOI MOSFET because its local thin Si regions offer an expanded effective band gap. It is shown that HTOT SOI MOSFET with 1-nm-thick local-thin Si regions is almost insensitive to temperature for 𝑇<700K (427 C). …”

Quand les paroles s’envolent : réflexions sur les caractéristiques et la forme phonétique du High Rising Terminal en anglais contemporain by Stephan Wilhelm

“…Hirschberg & Ward 1995, Ladd 1996, Fletcher et al. 2005, Liberman 2006b) insist that the name ‘High Rising Terminal’ implies that the intonation contours favoured by ‘uptalkers’ are mainly high-rises, i.e. rising nuclear tones which start relatively high in the speakers’ pitch range and end at a very high pitch, so that the voice often becomes ‘squeaky’ (Cruttenden 1997). Other research (e.g. …”

Literatura de la guerra civil: la niñez como espejo hermenéutico para la comprensión histórica by Biagio Grillo

“…Autores como Nellie Campobello, Italo Calvino y Aurora Correa sitúan la clave epistémica de la narración en un niño o en una niña que, desde su peculiar subjetividad marginal, construyen una significación del clima histórico marcada por distanciamiento y en contraste con la narrativa oficial. Así, la voz y el testimonio de estos niños no se limita a lo verosímil: destaca la esencia histórica, vivencial y emocional del acontecimiento “guerra civil”. …”

Resilient Design. A synoptic framework by Claudio Germak

“…It has learned to plan for what can place the system in crisis, developing collaborative actions to adapt to the internal causes such as exceeding the limits of development, migration, ageing, as well as mitigation regarding those external causes, such as natural disasters, even if these often depend on the first causes. This essay is intended to provide a wide panorama, almost a synoptic framework, of the contribution that Design can offer society in terms of ‘resistance’ and ‘resilience’, also considering critical events as an opportunity to evolve its orientations and practices.…”
