    The impacts of short break provision on disabled children and families: an international literature review

    No full text
    For over 30 years, short breaks have been part of the landscape of support provision for families with a disabled child. Historically, the term ‘respite care’ has been used in much of the research literature concerning short breaks for families with a disabled child. However, ‘short breaks’ has become the preferred term, partly due to the negative connotations of family carers requiring ‘respite’ from their children, and partly because short breaks now encompass a much wider range of supports than out-of-home placement in specialist residential facilities (Cramer and Carlin, 2008). As such, the term ‘short breaks’ will be used throughout this review, with the exception of direct quotes from research studies where the term ‘respite’ is used by study participants or study authors

    A TCAD Simulation Study on the Short-circuit Performance of 650V P-pillar Offset Super-junction MOSFET

    No full text
    The limitation of Silicon based power MOSFET was broken by the super-junction (SJ) structure, which can provide lower specific on-resistance and higher breakdown voltage compared with the conventional power MOSFET structure. Multi-epitaxial and multi-ion-implant technology, as a mature manufacturing process of the SJ structure, has been widely used in the field of SJ-MOSFET. Therefore, this process is applied to construct the cell structure of 650V SJ-MOSFET in our study. Based on practical application, high current caused by unexpected short circuit will induce an increasing of the internal temperature of SJ-MOSFET, which leads to an irreversible damage in the SJ-MOSFET devices. However, the short-circuit robustness of SJ-MOSFET is still unstable, and the structure needs to be further improved. In our study, the electrical performance of a 650V SJ-MOSFET with offset P-pillar is theoretically investigated by means of technology computer aided design (TCAD) when the SJ-MOSFET is short circuited. The results clearly show that the optimized SJ-MOSFET can withstand the source-drain voltage of 400V for at least 10 μs in the case of the short-circuit. The thermal distribution and peak temperature of the cell structure of SJ-MOSFET are also simulated to assist in the analysis of the short circuit capable of the device. In addition, the hole current density distribution of two SJ-MOSFETs is considered to gain insight into the effect of P-pillar parameters on the short-circuit robustness. The result represents that the structure with offset P-pillar can effectively improve the short-circuit capability.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Bio-ElectronicsElectronic Components, Technology and Material

    Diverse roles of sustainability in the innovation and evolution of industrial business models: Lessons from three Italian cases.

    No full text
    Emerging literature on industrial sustainability suggests that business model innovation may offer a means to facilitating enhanced sustainability. However, there is still a relatively limited understanding of how such innovation might be undertaken in practice. This paper presents preliminary findings from three case studies of Italian firms, and forms part of a larger project exploring business models for sustainability. Learning from the cases provides interesting insights into the drivers, enablers, and some unanticipated additional aspects of business model innovation for sustainability, and so contributes to extending the current body of knowledge
