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.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer (BC) is a widespread illness and a leading cause of female mortality, prompting a study on plasma ferroportin levels in patients with BC.
  • A total of 90 participants were analyzed, consisting of 60 breast cancer patients and 30 healthy controls, with blood tests measuring total serum bilirubin, AST, ALT, and ferroportin levels.
  • Results indicated that breast cancer patients showed significantly higher AST and ALT levels but lower ferroportin levels compared to the control group, with no significant changes in total serum bilirubin.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the use of discourse markers (DMs) in the argumentative compositions written by EFL learners at two academic stages (sophomores and seniors) majoring in English at the Hashemite University, Jordan. The significance of this study springs from its focus on the use of DMs in Jordanian EFL learners' argumentative writings. Employing an integrated research method of qualitative and quantitative analysis, the findings revealed that both groups of participants used the same types of DMs with varying degree of frequency, namely, elaborative, contrastive, reason, inferential, conclusive, and exemplifier DMs, respectively.
