![]() In fact, small signal amplifiers are the most common linear devices. Amplification means linear amplification. If the base voltage falls below approximately 0.6 V for a silicon transistor, the large emitter-collector current ceases to flow. Therefore, a transistor acts as an amplifier when operating in the active state. When the transistor is in the active state, I C = I B. That is the transistor behaves as though a switch has been closed between the collector and emitter. The emitter resistor limits the collector current and the base current at the same time. This is why designers go to great lengths to make their design temperature-compensated. In saturation, the collector and emitter are, in effect, shorted together. As the transistor heats up, V T decreases and therefore base and collector currents increase - the transistor runs away. That is collector emitter pathway is open If the transistor is cut-off, there is no base current, so there is no collector or emitter current. ![]() In the active state, collector current is β times the base current ( i.e. SATURATED : Emitter diode and collector diode are ON. The relations between the diode states and the transistor states are :ĬUT-OFF : Emitter diode and collector diode are OFF.ĪCTIVE : Emitter diode is ON and collector diode is OFF. The state of a transistor is entirely determined by the states of the emitter diode and collector diode. We have seen above that transistor can act in one of the three states : cut-off, saturated and active. The junction between base and collector may be called collector diode. This transistor is widely used in the circuit. The junction between base and emitter may be called emitter diode. In NPN transistor, the electrons move from the emitter to collector region resulting in the formation of current in the transistor. A transistor has two pn junctions i.e., it is like two diodes. The reader may find the detailed discussion on transistor biasing in the next chapter. We provide biasing to the transistor to ensure that it operates in the active region. Consequently, the transistor will function normally in this region. ![]() In the active region, collector-base junction remains reverse biased while base-emitter junction remains forward biased. The region between cut off and saturation is known as active r egion. If base current is greater than I B( sat), then collector current cannot increase because collector-base junction is no longer reverse-biased. As the emitter current is the combination of the collector AND the base current combined, the load resistance in this type of transistor configuration also has both the collector current and the input current of the base flowing through it. At saturation, collector-base junction no longer remains reverse biased and normal transistor action is lost. At this point, the base current is maximum and so is the collector current. The point where the load line intersects the I B = I B( sat) curve is called sa turation. The collector-emitter voltage is nearly equal to V C C i.e. At cut off, the base-emitter junction no longer remains forward biased and normal transistor action is lost. At this point, I B = 0 and only small collector current ( i.e. The point where the load line intersects the I B = 0 curve is known as cut off. ( i) shows CE transistor circuit while Fig.( ii) shows the output characteristcs along with the d.c. The open-collector use of B-E diode also changes the 'alpha' factor to exactly one, but that's less important.The below Fig. To match the two transistors' operation, you want the base-collector connected. If you don't connect the collector of the leftmost transistor, though, Ib is identical to the emitter current (which means it is larger than the collector current). In the case of base-collector connection, Ib is a small fraction of the collector current. This can simply be achieved by making sure that their base-emitter ![]() Plus the Amazon FreeTime feature is helpful for motivating your little one to read and reach goals.

When it began operations on October 1, 1958, NASA absorbed the 43-year-old NACA intact its 8,000 employees, an annual budget of US$100 million, three major research laboratories ( Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, and Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory) and two small test facilities. On July 29, 1958, Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing NASA. While this new federal agency would conduct all non-military space activity, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was created in February 1958 to develop space technology for military application. NACA is capable, by rapid extension and expansion of its effort, of providing leadership in space technology. It is accordingly proposed that the scientific research be the responsibility of a national civilian agency. It is of great urgency and importance to our country both from consideration of our prestige as a nation as well as military necessity that this challenge be met by an energetic program of research and development for the conquest of space. On January 14, 1958, NACA Director Hugh Dryden published "A National Research Program for Space Technology", stating, On January 12, 1958, NACA organized a "Special Committee on Space Technology", headed by Guyford Stever. The result was a consensus that the White House forged among key interest groups, including scientists committed to basic research the Pentagon which had to match the Soviet military achievement corporate America looking for new business and a strong new trend in public opinion looking up to space exploration. Eisenhower counseled more deliberate measures. The US Congress, alarmed by the perceived threat to national security and technological leadership (known as the " Sputnik crisis"), urged immediate and swift action President Dwight D. After the Soviet space program's launch of the world's first artificial satellite ( Sputnik 1) on October 4, 1957, the attention of the United States turned toward its own fledgling space efforts. An effort for this was the American Project Vanguard. In the early 1950s, there was challenge to launch an artificial satellite for the International Geophysical Year (1957–1958).

One can ink digitally using computers, a practice that has started to become more common as inkers learn to use powerful drawing and editing tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Inkscape, Corel Painter, and Manga Studio. The inking duo Akin & Garvey had a similar arrangement, with one inking the figures and the other the backgrounds. Neal Adams' Crusty Bunkers worked like this, with say one inker responsible for the characters' heads, another doing bodies, and a third embellishing backgrounds. Where an artist instead hires his own assistants, the roles are less structured an artist might, for example, ink all the faces of the characters while leaving the assistant to ink in the backgrounds, or work with the inker in a more collaborative fashion. The division between penciler and inker described here is most frequently found where the penciler and inker are hired independently of each other by the publisher. Craig Russell on the Elric of Melniboné series). Alternatively, an inker may do the basic layout of the page, give the work to another artist to do more detailed pencil work, and then ink the page himself (as Joe Simon often did when inking Jack Kirby, or when Michael T. An experienced inker paired with a novice penciler might be responsible for correcting anatomical or other mistakes, modifying facial expressions, or changing or improving the artwork in a variety of other ways. ![]() Some inkers will often do more than simply interpret the pencil markings into pen and brush strokes depending on how much detail the penciler puts into the pencil drawings, the inker might add shading or be responsible for the placement of black spaces and shadows in the final drawing. Accordingly, the inker has to translate pencil shading into patterns of ink, as for example by using closely spaced parallel lines, feathering, or cross-hatching. By contrast, an ink line generally can be only solid black. A pencil drawing can have an infinite number of shades of grey, depending on the hardness of the graphite and the pressure applied by the artist. The look of a penciler's final art can vary enormously depending on the inker. While inking can involve tracing pencil lines in a literal sense, it also requires interpreting the pencils, giving proper weight to the lines, correcting mistakes, and making other creative choices.

PEDV is an enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus that belongs to the order Nidovirales, family Coronaviridae and genus Alphacoronavirus. Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), is a devastating enteric disease in pigs, characterized with severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration, especially with high morbidity and mortality (up to 100%) in suckling piglets. The findings of this study provide new insights into the pathogenicity, antigenicity, and immunogenicity of currently circulating wild type G2a PEDV, which might be valuable for the development of novel PEDV vaccine candidates with improved efficacy. ![]() In contrast, the piglets from the sows immunized with CV777 could be protected when challenged with homologous PEDV and only partially protected when challenged with heterologous G2a strain of PEDV (CH/JX/01). All piglets from the sows immunized with CH/JX/01 could not only survive when challenged with the homologous PEDV, but also be fully protected when challenged with heterogenous G1a PEDV. The results showed that CH/JX/01, a highly virulent and dominant G2a PEDV strain currently circulating in China had more severe pathogenicity in vitro and in vivo, and induced more strong immune responses, including higher titers of sIgA in maternal milk than that induced by CV777 PEDV, a prototype of G1a PEDV strain. Initially pregnant sows were vaccinated twice with the two kinds of inactivated G1a- and G2a-based PEDV vaccines, respectively and the delivered neonatal piglets were challenged with prototype isolates of G1a and G2a PEDVs, and then the pathogenicity and cross-protection in neonatal piglets were observed. ![]() Hence, in the present study, we attempted to observe a comparative pathogenicity and cross protection of G1a (CV777) and G2a (CH/JX/01) PEDVs. ![]() To date, two genotypes, i.e., genotype 1 (G1) and genotype 2 (G2), of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) have been identified in swine, while the cross protection between the G2a and G1a subgenotypes is undetermined. The findings of this study might explain the underlying mechanism that severe PED and deaths still occurred among the neonatal piglets of which CV777-based PEDV vaccine were administered in China, and imply G2a-based PEDV vaccine used in this study might be a good vaccine candidate for PEDV which may provide solid protection against circulating highly virulent PEDVs. In contrast, the G1a-based inactivated vaccine could induce a sterilizing immune response against challenge of homologous strain CV777 and only provide partial protection for the challenge of a heterologous G2a PEDV CH/JX/01. The results of the present study demonstrated that the G2a-based inactivated vaccine could provide sterilizing immunity against both highly virulent homologous and heterologous PEDV challenges. This study aimed to observe the comparative pathogenicity and cross-protection between G1a and G2a PEDVs, and thus find a new insight into the antigenicity and immunogenicity of PEDVs. To date, the reports on the antigenicity and immunogenicity of those viruses are limited and the results documented on cross-neutralization among different genotypes and/or subgenotypes of PEDV were inconsistent. At least two genotypes (G1 and G2) and five subgenotypes (G1a, G1b, G2a, G2b, andG2c) of PEDV strains have been identified. Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), caused by PED virus (PEDV), is a devastating enteric disease in pigs worldwide. ![]()
