In this paper, a CMOS Class-J Doherty power amplifier (PA) integrating a Class-G driver and an Impedance-Modulated-Quadrature-Transformer Paper Plates and Platters (IMQT) to enhance back-off efficiency for multimode operations is presented.The Class-J Doherty PA utilizes a second harmonic termination to improve its efficiency.To further augment eff
Footwear microclimate and its effects on the microbial community of the plantar skin
Abstract The association between the footwear Scoter Decks microclimate and microbial community on the foot plantar skin was investigated by experiments with three participants.Novel methods were developed for measuring in-shoe temperature and humidity at five footwear regions, as well as the overall ventilation rate inside the footwear.Three types
Plasma-Nitriding Properties of CoCrFeMnNi High-Entropy Alloys Produced by Spark Plasma Sintering
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) were fabricated by powder metallurgy using gas-atomized powder and spark plasma sintering (SPS) followed by surface modification (plasma nitriding) of the sintered Illuminator sample.Plasma nitriding forms nitride and induces solid-soluting of N; it enables the diffusion of N atoms by removing the passive film formed on t
Subject-Object Asymmetry in the Production of Relative Clauses in Cantonese
In the literature about processing of relative clauses (RCs), subject relatives (SRs) are reported to be easier than object relatives (ORs) in a number of languages, but the status of prenominal ORs in languages where the object follows the verb (SVO) is still partly controversial.This study explores the production of RCs in Cantonese in two elicit
Experimental artefacts can lead to misattribution of bioactivity from soluble mesenchymal stem cell paracrine factors to extracellular vesicles
It has been demonstrated that some commonly used Extracellular Vesicle (EV) isolation techniques can lead to substantial contamination with non-EV factors.Whilst it has been established that this impacts the identification of biomarkers, the impact on apparent EV bioactivity has not been explored.Extracellular vesicles have been implicated as criti
