GenBank sequence data for WFS20190625-25: SSU = MW036749, LSU = MW084343, TEF = MW091325, RPB1 = MW384883. Known distribution: —Shucheng County, Anhui Province, China. Notes: —According to descriptions of both sexual and asexual morphs for Gibellula pulchra from Mains (1950) and from the phylogenetic analysis, G. pulchra is the most closely related species with the new species. However, G. pulchra differs from G. flava in having longer verrucose conidiophores (150–600 μm) with slightly longer metulae (6–12 μm), phialides (6–10 μm) and conidia (2.5–6.4 μm). The sexual morph of G. flava produces superficial and elongate ellipsoidal small perithecia with shorter asci. The perithecia of G. pulchra are ovoid in shape and the asci are 600–660 × 5–7 μm.Published as part of Chen, Ming-Jun, Wang, Ting, Lin, Yan & Huang, Bo, 2021, Gibellula flava sp. nov.

Analysis of Reliability and Physic Mechanism in p-FinFET
No full textIn today's rapidly advancing world of technology, the demand for microchips is constantly increasing. In the 1960s, the first transistor was born at Bell Labs. A few years later, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore proposed Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit (IC) of the same size would double every two years. As process nodes shrink, there are performance improvements such as increased drain current and higher component packaging density. However, this progress also gives rise to certain challenges, with one of the most significant being gate leakage. When traditional Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) are scaled down to very small sizes, issues like physical thickness limitations and excessive gate leakage become prominent.
Therefore, in 1999, Dr. Hu Chen-Ming invented the FinFET (Fin Field-Effect Transistor), which not only resolved the leakage problem but also extended the life of Moore's Law. This study primarily explores the electrical characteristics and reliability of FinFETs under different process variations, and subsequently proposes the underlying physical mechanisms.
In the fourth chapter of this paper, two different nitrogen-containing annealing processes are examined to understand the differences in electrical properties of the devices. It is found that devices with higher nitrogen content exhibit higher threshold voltage (Vt), lower subthreshold swing (S.S.), lower transconductance (gm), and lower on-state drive current (Ion) compared to those with less nitrogen content. This suggests that the nitrogen content in the annealing treatment affects the quality of the oxide layer and channel interface. To further analyze the defect density in the channel interface, the Charge Pumping (ICP) measurement method is used for validation, and the results confirm that nitrogen indeed has an impact and generating more defects.
In the fifth chapter of this paper, a Negative Bias Stress (NBS) analysis is conducted on samples from two different process conditions. Through a series of degradation experiments, differences in degradation between the two conditions are compared. Additionally, devices with different channel lengths are used to compare electrical degradation. It is observed that these devices exhibit an Oxide Edge Effect, leading to anomalous electrical behavior. A physical model is proposed to explain these anomalies resulting from the oxide edge effect.
In the sixth chapter, an analysis of Hot Carrier Stress (HCS) and Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is conducted on two different samples, using short, medium, and long channel length devices. Experimental results validate that transistor channels exhibit edge effects under different process variations. The conclusions from this chapter integrate the discussions from the previous chapters, presenting a comprehensive physical model mechanism for FinFET devices subjected to stress degradation

Ma Shou-chen : Ming Dynasty courtesan/artist
No full textMa Shou-chen, poet, calligrapher and painter was a courtesan of the Ming dynasty. By studying the life and works of Ma Shou-chen, who was not a member of either the scholar or the academic/professional class of artists but who was very desirous of conforming to literati aesthetic tastes in her artistic works, new light is thrown upon the problem of identifying new aspects of Ming dynasty literati aesthetic taste. A study of Ma Shou-chen’s works illuminates the question of identifying qualities of literati painting and also serves to examine the question of female artists in China. Female artists were known for their weak brush stroke and other negative qualities. Was this true, or was the "conventional wisdom" based on an attitude toward
a female's social position rather than her ability as an artist?
Ma Shou-chen provides us with a good example for examining these points. She is well-known in Chinese art history, yet she is discussed by Siren largely in sections restricted to female artists. In Chinese biographies too, mention of Ma Shou-chen is included with other female artists. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss a limited, though it is felt, a representative
cross-section of her works with the aim of determining Ma Shou-chen’s place in art history.
In Section I, biographical data concerning Ma Shou-chen is discussed. This includes an estimate of her active period (1570-1604). Her relationship with Wang Chih-teng, a leading literatus of the Suchow area, is examined together with an exploration of the relationship of special courtesans to the
literati as a class.
What this meant in Chinese society and the repercussions on the artistic output of courtesans is also discussed.
Section II includes a discussion of the Chinese historical records which comment on Ma Shou-chen's works. There is also an exploration of the reason why certain artists and not others were named in records as having an influence on Ma Shou-chen's works. A brief discussion of the history of Chinese flower painting explains the relevance of placing Ma Shou-chen's works within the framework of literati rather than academic artists' works. A discussion of the critical comments regarding Ma Shou-chen's works by Chinese art historians gives rise to the possibility
that critical comments were often based more upon social status than actual works.
In Section III an analysis of Ma Shou-chen's artistic works, largely concerned with her speciality of orchid paintings, shows an historical process. However, there is no final classification
of her undated works. In addition, the typical qualities of her works involves rather stable compositions, a propensity for stretching the brush strokes across the surface of the painting, little concern with atmospheric qualities or far distance. These facts serve to enhance the two dimensional quality of her paintings. This factor in turn serves to focus the attention of the viewer upon Ma Shou-chen's calligraphy.
Section IV discusses the findings of the analysis of Ma Shou-chen's works in relation to Ming dynasty literati artists. This thesis concludes with the theory that smaller and more intimate literati works are more representative of the main-
stream of literati artists in the Ming dynasty. The works of Ma Shou-chen, who was trained to respond to literati tastes and was an accomplished artist, show the more relaxed social atmosphere of the Ming dynasty.
Two appendices are included. The first is a catalogue of the works of Ma Shou-chen discussed in this thesis. The second is a translation of the Chinese literary sources concerning Ma Shou-chen.Arts, Faculty ofFine Arts, Department of, Department ofGraduat
