A Novel Isolation Approach for GaN-Based Power Integrated Devices.

This paper introduces a novel technology for the monolithic integration of GaN-based vertical and lateral devices. This approach is groundbreaking as it facilitates the drive of high-power GaN vertical switching devices through lateral GaN HEMTs with minimal losses and enhanced stability. A significant challenge in this technology is ensuring electrical isolation between the two types of devices.

High pressure behaviour of the organic semiconductor salt (TTF-BTD)I.

This study focuses on the effect of structure compression and cooling on the stereoelectronic properties of the planar π-conjugated TTF-BTD (TTF = tetrathiafulvalene; BTD = 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) molecule, a prototypical example in which an electron-donor moiety is compactly annulated to an electron-acceptor moiety. Its partially oxidised iodine salt (TTF-BTD)I is a crystalline semiconductor featuring segregated columns of TTF units stacked alternating short and long π-π interactions. We studied TTF-BTD at temperatures ranging from 300 K to 90 K and at pressures up to 7.

Comparison of Percentage of Syllables Stuttered With Parent-Reported Severity Ratings as a Primary Outcome Measure in Clinical Trials of Early Stuttering Treatment.

Purpose: This report investigates whether parent-reported stuttering severity ratings (SRs) provide similar estimates of effect size as percentage of syllables stuttered (%SS) for randomized trials of early stuttering treatment with preschool children.

Method: Data sets from 3 randomized controlled trials of an early stuttering intervention were selected for analyses. Analyses included median changes and 95% confidence intervals per treatment group, Bland-Altman plots, analysis of covariance, and Spearman rho correlations.

Employment and the associated impact on quality of life in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.

A systematic review was conducted to assess the employment rate of people with schizophrenia. Additionally, information from the selected studies concerning factors associated with employment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was examined. Employment rates ranged from 4% to 50.

In situ Brillouin study of sodium alumino silicate glasses under pressure.

The in situ elastic and plastic behaviors of sodium aluminosilicate glasses with different degrees of depolymerization were analyzed using Brillouin spectroscopy. The observed elastic anomaly progressively vanished with depolymerization. The densification process appears to be different from that observed in pure silica glass.
