Node leakage

Perhaps the most crucial component of the transistor structure is the gate oxide, which serves as the insulator between the gate and channel. Ideally, the oxide layer should be as thin as possible to increase the channel conductivity when the transistor is on, and reduce subthreshold leakage when the transistor is off. Since the first MOSFETs were demonstrated, the gate length has steadily decreased to a current size of less than 30 nm (Figure4.13). For the current 65 nm technology node, ... 

In contrast, conduction velocity is slow in muscle fibers at the SA and AV nodes. Unlike the majority of cardiac muscle cells, these pacemaker cells have an unstable resting potential ( — 60 mV) due to a cell membrane alteration that allows sodium ions to leak into the cell without a concurrent potassium ion efflux. This sodium leakage reduces the membrane potential allowing even more sodium ions to move into the cell. In addition to the inward sodium movement, there is also an inward calcium flow which causes the pacemaker cells to have a more positive resting potential. Finally, the cell produces an action potential at 40 mV. This phenomenon is called spontane-... 

For implementation of the leakage effect on the flow field, the mesh is chosen in a way that the hole location would be stated between two nodes, a in Figure 3. 

In this part, the results of the simulation of the leakage are presented for a pipe which of 250 meter in length and with a hole (orifice) of 1 cm2 area on the surface, by using a grid system with 100 nodes. It is also considered that the hole is in the middle of the pipe length and it is assumed that the initial gas pressure and initial gas speed are 30 bar and 41 ft/s, respectively [4], It is considered that the upstream boundary condition is the reservoir with constant pressure and the downstream boundary condition is stated with three forms ...

To model pressure diffusion at A u, the three-dimensional groundwater flow code, PARADIGM (Lunn and Mackay 1997) is used. PARADIGM models flow within a 3D rock matrix with embedded 2D planar faults. Faults have a separate 2D planar mesh and can be at any location and orientation interaction with the 3D matrix mesh is provided by a fully implicit flow solution that allows leakage between fault nodes and the nearest matrix nodes. Further details of PARADIGM and its application at A(u are presented in Nascimenio et al. (2003b).

Human node ofRanvier Schwartz et al. [1995] measured action potentials and separated membrane currents in nodes of Ranvier in human nerve trunks. Their model comprises a fast sodium current, fast and slow potassium currents, and a leakage current. 

The effort to develop a neutron transport code based on an improved nodal method has been continued in order to treat the Hex-Z geometry of FBR cores more accurately. In order to reduce truncation error of the code, a new method to treat the radial leakage has been developed, in which the distribution of node boundary fluxes is obtained from local two-dimensional flux distribution. The local flux distribution is evaluated from average fluxes at surrounding nodes and node boundaries by second-order polynomials. An FBR core model with extremely large-sized assemblies was calculated by the new method and the results were compared with those of a reference Monte Carlo calculation. While the previous method overestimated the criticality by 0.3% dk for a control rod-insertion case, the new method agreed well with the Monte Carlo result. 

Use fine needles to cnt ont the node, involving the whole thickness of the embryo bnt being very careful to avoid damaging the vitelline membrane underneath. Even a small hole causes leakage of albumen and prevents healing or even displaces the graft. It is best to work in steps First, make a very superficial cut of the shape required. Then deepen the cut, a little at a time, until the node is finally freed aU around. 

As described for operations on Hensen s node, it is important to avoid damaging the vitelline membrane at all costs. Any leakage of the albumen culture fluid to the inside of the ring diminishes survival and may cause the grafted tissue to fall out of its site. 

In order to treat the Hex-Z geometry of FBR cores more accurately, effort to develop a neutron transport code based on an improved nodal method was continued. In the previous version of the nodal code, the radial transverse leakage on node boundaries was assumed to be distributed uniformly, which generates some truncation errors. This year, a new treatment for the radial transverse leakage was introduced to the code by adopting a second order polynomial expansion of the flux at the node vertex point. A benchmark test of an FBR core showed the new nodal method can predict the keff within errors of 0.02%dk/k, on the other hand, the previous treatment has errors of 0.1%dk/k.
