Static current-voltage characteristics of silicon n+-i-n+ resistors at liquid helium temperatures
No full textThe behaviour of the (I-V) characteristics is investigated in n+-i-n+ highly compensated Si resistors at temperatures 4.2-45K. The conduction mechanisms are discussed in detail here. The prebreakdown and breakdown regions of I-V characteristics were simulated by a one-dimensional model including the evidence of impurity high compensation and freeze out effects as well as the shallow-dopants impact ionisation by the injected hot carriers into the base. Negative resistance (S-type) phenomena are also observed on the characteristics for high injection current densities
Worlds on the edge: the politics of settler resentment on the Saugeen/Bruce Peninsula
No full textWhy is it that, at a time when countless state officials are apologizing for historic wrongs and insisting that Canada has entered a period of reconciliation, many settlers continue to act towards indigenous peoples with unabated aggression and resentment? This thesis attempts to explain the continual reproduction of settler colonialism through an investigation of the processes involved in the formation of settlers as political subjects. Developing a Butlerean account of the subject, the author suggests that settlers are produced through colonial regimes as political subjects with deep and often unacknowledged investments in the reproduction of systems of oppression that provide for their material and psychic position of privilege. While the instability inherent in such systems ultimately threatens settlers themselves – as seen in the collapsing North American middle class – the fragility and precarity experienced by settlers who are targeted by neoliberal reforms often leads them to reinvest in, and aggressively defend, those very systems of power as a matter of subjective continuity.
The author’s inquiry into these issues emerges from his own experience as a settler, and as an attempt to understand what motivates the aggression and resentment that many elements within his own community direct towards indigenous peoples. Because of these motivations, much of this thesis is grounded in discussions about the ways in which the author’s home community, in the southern Ontario riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, is predicated in ongoing acts of colonization. From burial ground reclamations, to mob violence, to the problems inherent in combatting white supremacy without at once critiquing settler colonialism, each of the examples brought forward in this thesis attempts to analyze why this community of settlers seemingly throbs with a collective anger and indignation that is continually directed at the Saugeen Anishinaabek.Graduat
Data modeling for Tools and Technologies for the Analysis and Synthesis of NANOstructures (TASNANO) project
No full textThe main aim of TASNANO project is to focus on the development of a web-based system that allows
cooperative work between partners. Even if some commercial tools become available, the specificities of nanotechnology applications suggest implementing an ad-hoc tool. This approach permits to update information every moment, so that not only the latest versions of the documents are always available, but also the raw experimental data are shared in a protected environment. Organizing big amount of data begins with modelling of conceptual schemes, which individualizes entities involved into the project and links between them. The rules’ application of logic modeling leads to the production of a logic scheme. The model allows the data base design, which can be enlarged and enriched preserving coherence and avoiding redundancy. Data and information can be directly treated on the web in accordance with latest modifications
