The Specificity of Antioxidants: A Review
Abstract: Antioxidants are substances that provide protection to the body against reactive chemical species. When oxidative damage is not prevented or reversed, some pathology may occur. Naturally, there are enzymatic antioxidants (example: superoxide dismutase) and non-enzymatic (example: glutathione) in the cell, and some are incorporated through the diet (example: vitamins). These substances exhibit specificity when carrying out their activity, that is why it is necessary to experiment their effects on different …

Influence of Dielectric and Active layer Thickness on MgZnO Thin Film Transistor Electrical Characteristics
Abstract: From last decades, Thin Film Transistors Technology uses low-k dielectric material as an insulator. Insulator thickness plays an important role in device dimension. The insulating layer also known as the gate oxide separates the gate electrode from the channel region of the transistor. If the insulating layer is too thin, there is a greater chance that electrons can tunnel through the oxide layer, leading to leakage current. To mitigate this …
