    Design of an efficient 900 GHz antenna in standard CMOS technology for imaging arrays

    No full text
    This paper describes and addresses the challenges that are encountered while designing a 900 GHz antenna for FET detectors using a standard submicron CMOS technology. The reduced metal stack, the problem of surface waves and technology-related rules are taken into account in order to properly design an efficient antenna, with the objective to couple it to field-effect transistor (FET) detectors in a focal-plane array configuration. Simulations on a 0.15-μm standard CMOS technology show that up to 58% efficiency with responsivity in the several kV/W range can be achieved.Accepted author manuscriptTera-Hertz Sensin

    The global changes in the environment are becoming critical not only for the consumers but also for the managements across the globe. In this contemporary world, an ecological issue such as global warming interests both the marketing practitioners as well as the consumers. The green paradigm in communication and marketing is not simply another hype or buzz word, simply denotes all the activities intended to generate as well as facilitate any exchange in order to satisfy human needs such that satisfying these needs happen with the most minimal input on the environment. If we switch our attention from the shareholders to the stakeholders and think the world as limited and with limited resources, thinking green is not just an option but is the only option. Green becomes an umbrella term not only for ecologic aspect of communication and marketing but also for sustainability issues, ethics, social corporate responsibility, critical consumption, production and distribution. Technologies may have a crucial role in the going green process and gave huge opportunities the green marketing strategist. Thinking green has a strong ties with the technology evolution. Decreasing energy consumption, pollution and waste are key elements even for the rationalized process and for maximizing wealth and wellbeing

    Hapalotremus martinorum Cavallo and Ferretti, 2015 (Figures 1c, d, 13–15, 36) Hapalotremus martinorum: Cavallo and Ferretti, 2015: 876, figs 1a, b, 2a–f, 3a–c, 5c. Type material Male holotype (MLP 19152) from Argentina, Salta, Chicoana, near provincial route 33, adjacent to Escoipe River (- 25.1500 S, - 65.6000 W), 1496 m a.s.l., 20 April 2011, Patricio E. Cavallo, Martin Hüsser and Martin Gamache cols.; paratype female (MLP 19153), same data as holotype. Examined. Additional material examined Female (MACN – Ar 38174) from Argentina, Salta, Rosario de Lerma, Campo Quijano (- 24.9075 S, - 65.6442 W), 29 September 1967, A. Fornes col.; female (MACN – Ar 38207) from Argentina, Salta, Salta, San Lorenzo Hill (- 24.7269 S, - 65.5044 W), 16 July 1924, A. Frers col. Notes In the original description of the species (Cavallo and Ferretti 2015), the ventral crest of the prolateral inferior keel was described as a subapical keel due to its triangular shape and position. However, a more detailed examination of the male holotype and the comparison with the other species of Hapalotremus led us to identify a continuous PI very well-developed along the embolus having a ventral expansion or crest, as found in all known species. Amended diagnosis Hapalotremus martinorum is characterized by a distinct green pubescence between the patella and tarsi of legs and on the lateral faces of the abdomen in combination with red setae on the urticating patch (Figure 1c, d). Males of H. martinorum can be distinguished from those of H. albipes and H. major by a large number of labial cuspules (more than 20), tibia I about 10% longer than metatarsus I (Figure 13g), by having a slightly developed retrolateral rounded process on palpal tibia (Figure 13h, i), unequal sizes of tibial apophysis branches (PB smaller than RB) (Figure 13f, g) and slower curvature of metatarsus I (Figure 13g). Palpal bulb resembles that of H. major, but it differs by the more developed digitiform apophysis (Figure 14a–d) and prolateral keels (Figure 14a–d). Females of H. martinorum can be distinguished from those of H. albipes and H. major by the larger number of cuspules on labium (more than 25 cuspules) (Figures 15b, 16a). Additionally, males of H. martinorum differ from all Hapalotremus species by the presence of an accessory keel (AK) on palpal embolus located among PI and A (Figure 14a, e). Also, females of H. martinorum can be characterized by the shape of the spermathecae, with basal portion wider than apical, apical lateral projections slightly developed and protrude from the apical median region (Figure 16e). Distribution and habitat Known from Salta Province, northwestern Argentina (Figure 36). Specimens were found in high-cloud forests of the Yungas region (Figure 3a). These spiders occupy short burrows or crevices under stones and usually the stones, where individuals can be found, are covered with mosses and small ferns (see more details of natural history in Cavallo and Ferretti 2015).Published as part of Ferretti, Nelson, Cavallo, Patricio, Chaparro, Juan C., Ríos-Tamayo, Duniesky, Seimon, Tracie A. & West, Rick, 2018, The Neotropical genus Hapalotremus Simon, 1903 (Araneae: Theraphosidae), with the description of seven new species and the highest altitude record for the family, pp. 1927-1984 in Journal of Natural History (J.

    La diagnosi delle patologie esofagee nel cavallo viene formulata sulla base di segni clinici e di esami collaterali, quali endoscopia, indagini radiografiche dirette e con mezzo di contrasto (MdC). Scopo di questa comunicazione è descrivere le tecniche e le metodiche radiologiche per lo studio dell'esofago in condizioni normali e patologiche, sottolineandone possibilità e limiti per un possibile impiego clinico
