Although, at present, Flash memory is by far the dominant semiconductor non-volatile storage technology, the aggressive scaling aiming at reducing the cost per bit has recently brought the floating-gate storage concept to its technological limit. In fact, data retention and reliability of floating-gate based memories are related to the thickness of the gate oxide, which becomes thinner and thinner with increasing downscaling. The above limit has pushed the semiconductor industry to invest on alternatives to Flash memory technology, such as magnetic memories, ferroelectric memories, and phase change memories (PCMs) (Geppert, 2003). The last technology is one of the most interesting candidates due to high read/write speed, bit-level alterability, high data retention, high endurance, good compatibility with CMOS fabrication process, and potential of better scalability. However, it still requires strong efforts to be optimized in order to compete with Flash technology from the cost and the performance points of view.
\n\t\t\tIn PCMs, information is stored by exploiting two different solid-state phases (namely, the amorphous and the crystalline phase) of a chalcogenide alloy, which have different electrical resistivity (more specifically, the resistivity is higher for the amorphous, or RESET, phase and lower for the crystalline, or SET, phase). Phase transition is a reversible phenomenon, which is achieved by stimulating the cell by means of adequate thermal pulses induced by applying electrical pulses. Reading the resistance of any programmed cell is achieved by sensing the current flowing through the chalcogenide alloy under predetermined bias voltage conditions. The read window, that is, the range from the minimum (RESET) to the maximum (SET) read current, is considerably wide, which allows safe storage of an information bit in the cell and also opens the way to the multi-level approach to achieve low-cost high-density storage. ML storage consists in programming the memory cell to one in a plurality of intermediate resistance (i.e., of read current) levels inside the available window, which allows storing more than one bit per cell (the number of bits that can be stored in a single cell is
In this work, we investigate the impact of technology scaling down on both the program and the read operation by means of a simple analytical model which takes the electro-thermal behavior of the PCM cell and the phase change phenomena inside the chalcogenide alloy into account.
\n\t\tThe working principle of a PCM cell relies on the physical properties of chalcogenide materials, typically
The typical V-I characteristic of the PCM cell in the amorphous (RESET) and the crystalline (SET) state is shown in Fig. 2. Consider the case of a cell in its full-SET state: the differential resistance of the cell decreases as the applied voltage increases. This effect is due to the contribution of the crystalline GST to the cell resistance. In fact, the crystalline GST resistivity decreases with increasing electrical field inside the material.
\n\t\t\tConceptual scheme of a PCM Lance heater cell.
V-I curve of a PCM device in the SET and the RESET state.
The V-I curve of the cell in its RESET state shows an S-shaped behavior. This effect is due to the threshold switching phenomenon (Adler et al., 1980; Ovshinsky, 1968; Pirovano et al., 2004; Thomas et al., 1976) which consists in a sudden drop of the amorphous GST resistivity as the voltage across the PCM cell exceeds a critical value, typically referred to as threshold voltage,
Standard pulses for bi-level PCM programming.
Architecture of a PCM matrix (a) and schematic of the circuit used to program and read the memory cell (b). Transistors
A PCM memory chip is made of a large number of PCM cells organized in a bi-dimensional array. As opposed to the case of Flash memories, in which the elementary storage consists of a floating-gate transistor, the PCM memory cell is a programmable resistor and, hence, is a two-terminal device. For this reason, a NOR type architecture is adopted (Fig. 4a). As shown in Fig. 4b, each memory cell consists of a PCM storage element connected to a selection transistor
We analyzed first the impact of technology scaling on the programming operation, focusing our attention on the electical power (hereinafter referred to as programming power). The maximum programming power is obviously required by the RESET operation, where the highest temperatures are needed to melt the active GST volume. The RESET pulse duration must be higher than the minimum required time for melting \\cite{Weidenhof00}, while the cooling time must be short enough to prevent the crystallization process from taking place. The minimum current required to melt a portion of the active GST layer is referred to as melting current,
The maximum temperature reached inside a Lance heater cell of given sizes can be estimated by means of an approximated electro-thermal model. In general, the temperature increase in the active GST volume is due to the current flow both through the heater (heater heating) and through the GST layer itself (GST self-heating). Nevertheless, GST self-heating can be neglected when considering high-amplitude RESET pulses. In fact, the resistance of the GST layer (both in the crystalline and in the amorphous state) is negligible with respect to the heater resistance due to high-field effects (the PCM cell is operated in the ON region). Thus, in this case we can estimate the temperature profile inside the PCM cell by considering only the Joule power generated inside the heater when a current \n\t\t\t\t

Due to fabrication process constraints, heater geometries with a high aspect ratio (i.e., geometries having a high ratio between the GST-heater contact diameter and the heater height), may not be easily manufacturable. Several fabrication solutions have been proposed to overcome lithographic limits and, thus, realize heater structures with minimized contact area (Lam, 2006; Pirovano et al., 2008). In the following, we will consider heater geometries with a high aspect ratio with the purpose of investigating the scaling perspective, even if they may require advanced fabrication techniques. Given a scaling factor < 1,

Electrical and Thermal Properties of Cell Materials.
A good agreement is observed especially inside the GST layer. The slight temperature disagreement inside the heater is ascribed to the inhomogeneous heat flow in the material that surrounds the heater. To take this thermal evacuation contribution into account, the value of
The GST layer undergoes crystalline to amorphous phase transition in the region where the temperature exceeds the melting point. As pointed out above, the temperature profile along the cell axis inside the GST decreases almost linearly with the distance from the GST-heater interface. By approximating the thermal profile inside the GST along the cell axis with a straight line, we derived the analytical expression for the thickness of the amorphous cap
Thus, the thickness of the amorphous cap obtained by means of the RESET operation is a fraction \n\t\t\t\t

It can be noticed from the simulation results in Fig. 10, that constant voltage approach leads to an increase of the SET read current as the thickness of the GST layer decreases, due to the reduction of the SET resistance. Moreover, a significant increase of the minimum current (RESET state), mainly due to the dependence of amorphous GST resistivity on the electrical field, is apparent. The increase of the RESET read current depends on

In this work, we addressed the impact of technology scaling on the performance of phase change memory cells by investigating its effects on both the programming current and the width of the read window. To this end we derived a simplified analytical model of the PCM cell electro-thermal behavior and validate it by means of a 3D finite-elements model of the PCM cell. We considered both constant field and constant voltage scaling approaches. Our study highlights the program-read tradeoffs challenges which aggressive scaling arises and provides analytical insight in the scaling mechanisms.

\n\t\tThe ascent in worldwide populace, joined with further developed pay also dietary changes, is driving a consistently expanding food request that is relied upon to ascend by 70% in 2050 [1]. Agriculture is the significant wellspring of food and feed for people and homegrown creatures. In any case, rural yield bugs, environmental change occasions like dry spell, and low supplement use productivity are critical deterrents to accomplishing worldwide food security [2]. More than 22,000 types of plant microbes, weeds, bugs and vermin are assaulting ranch produce globally [3]. Annually, China also the United States use around 1806 and 386 a huge number of kilograms of pesticides, individually. However, financial misfortunes brought about by crop infections and vermin in the United States are assessed at a few billions of dollars every year. In the United States, endeavors to battle contagious microbes alone surpass $600 million for every annum [4, 5]. This degree of financial misfortune also shortcoming in food creation keep on frustrating endeavors pointed towards accomplishing and keeping up with food security [4]. The board of plant infections and nuisances is especially difficult, both as far as ideal recognizable proof of infection and because of the predetermined number of administration choices.
The best methodology among the regular techniques for illness the board procedures is the turn of events of host opposition crop varieties [6]. However, not all crops intrinsically have obstruction qualities against pathogenic infections what’s more there keeps on being huge cultural disquiet over hereditarily changed food sources. These sources contain like copper, manganese along with zinc as a micro elemental metals in farm safeguard. Nonetheless, based on viability of regular compost having specific revisions obstructed, due to existence of minimum supplement required in which would be impartial solubility [7, 8]. There has been interest in the utilization of nanotechnology in horticulture for almost 15 years, in spite of the fact that effective application has been to some degree tricky. By the by, the utilization of designed nanomaterials (ENMs) in plant infection the executives and soil treatment has earned expanded interest as of late, with different reports illustrating critical potential. Various ENMs have been accounted for to further develop development, improve supplement use proficiency, and stifle sicknesses in plants in nursery tests and a modest number of field trials [9, 10] also, the utilization of ENMs as an expected option in the insurance of plants against bugs and weeds is acquiring interest, albeit hardly any investigations have been led in this area [11]. This audit assesses current potential open doors for the utilization of ENMs in horticulture, zeroing in on nanotechnology-empowered manures and pesticides (counting microbicides, bug sprays and herbicides), from now on alluded to as nanofertilizers and nanopesticides. A number of the detailed articles were fundamentally assessed in view of the adequacy of ENMs utilized in the examination, the trial plan, possible ecological effects, and relative correlation with traditional business items. Notwithstanding reviewing the current writing, a conversation of potential instruments of activity is incorporated (Figures 1–5), just as points of view on information holes to be filled, before the effective what’s more economical use of nanotechnology in farming.

Benefits and constraints of nanofertilizers. A right utilization of nanofertilizers to further develop crop yields needs before market execution a cautious assessment not just of their benefits for the physiology of plants, yet in addition of their expected impediments for the climate and human wellbeing its societical impact.
The agriculture area today is confronting an exceptional strain for accomplishing extensive effectiveness in food security utilizing options to synthetic manures [12]. New methodologies and advancements are required in the event that worldwide agricultural creation and request are to be satisfied in a financially and naturally supportable way.
Materials that are of up to 100 nm molecule size in somewhere around one aspect are for the most part delegated nanomaterials [13, 14, 15] and are the reason for nanotechnology [15]. Different sorts of various metals are consisting of their nanotechnological applications [16, 17, 18, 19].
Given the novel properties of nanomaterials for example, high surface-to-volume proportion, controlled-discharge energy to designated destinations and sorption limit, nanotechnology has a high significance for the plan and utilization of new manures [8].
Nanofertilizers are supplements exemplified/covered with nanomaterial for the control and slow conveyance of at least one supplements to fulfill the objective supplement prerequisites of plants [20]. These “brilliant composts” are right now being viewed as a promising option [21], to the limit that they are in a few cases viewed as the favored type of manures over the customary ones [22, 23].
Plants need a few fundamental supplements (macronutrients and micronutrients) for solid development and yield. Assuming there is lacking one of those fundamental parts, then, at that point, the plant will be unable to develop from the seed appropriately. Be that as it may, the presence of an overabundance measure of supplements can likewise hurt plants. A satisfactory inventory of these supplements to fulfill the needs of the essential cell process is a difficult matter. Consequently, a legitimate and explicit conveyance of supplements is severely needed for plants to finish their life cycle. At the point when the mineral supplements were consumed by the plant have many capacities to play in the plant’s body. They can assist with making and arrange plant tissue. They are the constituents of different proteins, colors, catalysts, and engaged with cell flagging and digestion. Till now 17 components (N, P, K, H, B, C, O, Mg, S, Cl, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo) have been recognized as fundamental supplements for plant development and advancement. Among them, nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium are significant fundamental components required by the plant. They cannot be assimilated straightforwardly from the climate, yet plant retains them through their roots. In this manner, the nanoscale-aspect of nanofertilizers has turned into an innovative arrangement for supplement lack issues. Nanofertilizers are made out of a few nanoparticles including metal oxides, carbon based, also other nanoporous materials changing upon their synthesis and mix properties. It tends to be integrated by hierarchical (physical), base up (compound), and organic methodologies [14].
Nanofertilizers have turned into an incredible option for soil the executives to decrease the over-use of ordinary composts. Furthermore, the sluggish delivery component is offering the chance for utilizes as per development and natural status. Besides, nanofertilizers have shown incredible reaction to provoke plant development and usefulness yet take-up, movement, and gathering of utilizing nanoparticles is as yet not yet distinct.
There is a developing strain on the agribusiness area to satisfy the persistently expanding requests of the reliably developing human populace. Synthetic manures are believed to be key for further developing yield efficiency and are widely applied through various techniques. Notwithstanding, crop use is by and large not exactly 50% of the applied measure of manure, and the excess measure of minerals expected to arrive at the designated site might filter down, so that they become fixed in soil or add to water contamination. It has been accounted for that key macronutrient components, including N, P, and K, applied to the dirt are lost by 40–70%, 80–90% also 50–90%, separately [18], causing a significant loss of assets Besides, producers will quite often utilize rehashed uses of these manures to accomplish wanted more significant returns, which conversely can prompt a lessening in soil ripeness and increment salt focuses in this way causing future yield misfortunes. Besides, lopsided use of treatment without control on supplement delivery can weaken item quality. Consequently, it is urgent to grow slow/control discharge composts not exclusively to build crop creation and quality, yet in addition to improve the supportability in green creation. Nanofertilizer applications in farming might fill in as an open door to accomplish maintainability towards worldwide food creation. There is a huge food creation strain on the area as healthful lacks in human populaces are essentially a direct result of utilizing less nutritious food and a low dietary admission of products of the soil [18]. Significant advantages of nanofertilizers over traditional synthetic composts depend on their supplement conveyance framework [12]. They control the accessibility of supplements in crops through sluggish/control discharge instruments. Such a sluggish conveyance of supplements is related with the covering or solidifying of supplements with nanomaterials [10]. By taking benefit of this sluggish supplement conveyance, cultivators can build their crop development due to reliably long haul conveyance of supplements to plants. For instance, supplements can be delivered north of 40–50 days in a sluggish discharge style rather than the 4–10 days by the traditional manures [11]. In traditional supplement the board frameworks, a big part of the applied compost is lost in draining or becomes inaccessible for the plant on the grounds that of extreme accessibility preventing the roots to take-up or in some cases causing poisonous impacts on the plant. Besides, nanofertilizers diminish the requirement for transportation and application costs. Another benefit of utilizing little amounts is that the dirt does not get stacked with salts that typically are inclined to over-application utilizing regular composts on a short-or long haul premise. One more benefit for utilizing nanofertilizers is that they can be blended by the supplement necessities of expected yields. In such manner, biosensors can be appended to another inventive compost that controls the conveyance of the supplements as per soil supplement status, development time of a crop or natural conditions. Plants are touchy towards micronutrient accessibility during crop development and adverse consequences result as leafy foods with helpless nourishment. In regular supplement the executives framework, it is undeniably challenging to control the micronutrient conveyance to a particular yield, yet nanofertilizers give the open door to the producers for providing satisfactory measures of supplements [8].
For example, the majority of the plant developing regions overall are insufficient in specific micronutrients (for example Zn and Fe), so nanofertilizers can go about as powerful and proficient stronghold items for crop and new food items. Nanofertilzers increment the bioavailability of supplements through their high explicit surface region, smaller than normal size and high reactivity [12]. Then again, by giving adjusted sustenance, nanofertilizers empower the plant to battle different biotic and abiotic stresses, with by and large clear benefits [20, 21]. Nonetheless, the broad utilization of nanofertilizers in farming might have a few significant constraints, which should likewise be thought of and will be talked about later in detail.
Micronutrients are those components that are needed by the plant in follow/low amounts, however are fundamental to keep up with essential metabolic processes in plants [22, 23, 24, 25, 26]. Plant development is profoundly subject to zinc (Zn) since it is a primary part or administrative co-factor for different chemicals furthermore proteins [27]. This micronutrient is likewise engaged with the blend of carbs, protein digestion, and the guideline of auxins, and gives guard to plants against hurtful microbes [28]. Then again, boron (B) is not just engaged with the biosynthesis of plant cell divider and its lignification, yet additionally assumes a significant part in plant development and different other physiological cycles [29]. Subsequently, those are having basic nature legitimate measures the metallic (B and Zn) properties of accomplishing greatest recoveries with great assessment of their productivity [30]. Agriculture applications—i.e. additionally announced with respect to filled seeding in supplement arrangement in addition to elastic sort expanded through natural product recovery contrasted [31, 32]. Additionally, it was noticed an impressive yield increment utilizing Zn nanoparticles as a supplement source in rice, maize, wheat, potato, sugarcane and sunflower [15]. In addition, settled maghemite nanoparticles applied through water system in arrangement structure in soil as a nanofertilizer further developed the development rate and chlorophyll substance contrasted with the control (chelated iron) in
With regards to practical agribusiness, late advancement is without a doubt seeing the effective utilization of some nanofertilizers for accomplishing upgraded crop efficiency. Be that as it may, the intentional presentation of this innovation in rural exercises could result in numerous accidental non-reversible results [13]. In this situation, new natural and accidental wellbeing security issues can restrict the utilization of this innovation in plant harvests’ efficiency. Nanomaterial phytotoxicity is likewise an issue in such manner since various plants react distinctively to different nanomaterials in a portion subordinate way [38, 39, 40, 41, 42]. Consequently, it is urgent to think about the benefits of nanofertilizers, yet additionally their restrictions before market execution. Bioavailability just as accidental ecological effects upon openness to natural frameworks, limit their acknowledgment to reception in practical farming and the agriculture areas [8]. Hazard evaluation furthermore risk recognizable proof of the nanomaterials including nanomaterial or then again compost life cycle evaluation are basic just as building up needs for toxicological exploration. This is especially evident considering the amassing of nanoparticles in plants and potential wellbeing concerns. For sure, the utilization of nanofertilizers got from nanomaterials have raised genuine worries connected with sanitation, human and food security.
Nanofertilizers have a huge effect in the horticulture area for accomplishing improved usefulness and protection from abiotic stresses. Consequently, encouraging uses of nanofertilizers in the agrifood biotechnology what’s more cultivation areas cannot be ignored. Besides, the possible advantages of nanofertilizers have invigorated a incredible interest to expand the creation capability of rural harvests under the current environmental change situation. The fundamental financial advantages of the utilization of nanofertilizers are decreased draining and volatilization related with the utilization of customary manures. At the same time, the notable positive effect on yield and item quality has a gigantic potential to expand producers’ net revenue through the use of this innovation. Notwithstanding, regardless of the intriguing results of nanofertilizers in the field of farming, up until this point, their significance has not however been engaged towards attractiveness. Vulnerability connected with the cooperation of nanomaterials with the climate and expected impacts on human wellbeing should be investigated exhaustively prior to spreading nanofertilizers at a business scale. Future investigations should be centered around creating extensive information in these underexplored regions in request to present this clever wilderness in maintainable agribusiness. Thusly, nanofertilizer application wellbeing and the investigation of the harmfulness of various nanoparticles utilized for nanofertilizer creation should be an examination need. Besides, a top to bottom assessment of the impact of nanofertilizers in the dirts with various physio-substance properties is fundamental to suggest a particular nanofertilizer for a particular yield and soil type. Biosynthesized nanoparticles-based composts and nanobiofertilizers ought to be investigated further as a promising innovation to further develop yields while accomplishing supportability.

Furthermore, in this manner, understanding the systemic interaction between the cardiovascular and nervous systems has become more important than ever as human populations' life prolongation, aging and mechanisms of cellular oxidative signaling are utilised for sustaining life. \r\nAltogether, physiological research enables our identification of distinct and precise points of transition from health to the development of multimorbidity throughout the inevitable aging disorders (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, age-related macular degeneration, cancer).

He enrolled at today's Nelson Metropolitan University and graduated from this university with a BSc in Physics and Mathematics, B.Sc Honors in Physics, MSc in Semiconductor Physics, and a Ph.D. in Semiconductor Physics in 1987. After his studies, he chose an academic career and devoted his energy to the teaching of physics to first, second, and third-year students. After positions as a lecturer at the University of Port Elizabeth, he accepted a position as Associate Professor at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.\r\n\r\nIn 1992, he motivates the concept of 'television and computer-based education” as means to reach large student numbers with only the best of teaching expertise and publishes an article on the concept in the SA Journal of Higher Education of 1993 (and later in 2003). The University of Pretoria subsequently approved a series of test projects on the concept with outreach to Mamelodi and Eerste Rust in 1993. In 1994, the University established a 'Unit for Telematic Education ' as a support section for multiple faculties at the University of Pretoria. In subsequent years, the concept of 'telematic education” subsequently becomes well established in academic circles in South Africa, grew in popularity, and is adopted by many universities and colleges throughout South Africa as a medium of enhancing education and training, as a method to reaching out to far out communities, and as a means to enhance study from the home environment.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman in subsequent years pursued research in semiconductor physics, semiconductor devices, microelectronics, and optoelectronics.\r\n\r\nIn 2000 he joined the TUT as a full professor. Here served for a period as head of the Department of Electronic Engineering. Here he makes contributions to solar energy development, microwave and optoelectronic device development, silicon photonics, as well as contributions to new mobile telecommunication systems and network planning in SA.\r\n\r\nCurrently, he teaches electronics and telecommunications at the TUT to audiences ranging from first-year students to Ph.D. level.\r\n\r\nFor his research in the field of 'Silicon Photonics” since 1990, he has published (as author and co-author) about thirty internationally reviewed articles in scientific journals, contributed to more than forty international conferences, about 25 South African provisional patents (as inventor and co-inventor), 8 PCT international patent applications until now. Of these, two USA patents applications, two European Patents, two Korean patents, and ten SA patents have been granted. A further 4 USA patents, 5 European patents, 3 Korean patents, 3 Chinese patents, and 3 Japanese patents are currently under consideration.\r\n\r\nRecently he has also published an extensive scholarly chapter in an internet open access book on 'Integrating Microphotonic Systems and MOEMS into standard Silicon CMOS Integrated circuitry”.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Professor Snyman recently steered a new initiative at the TUT by introducing a 'Laboratory for Innovative Electronic Systems ' at the Department of Electrical Engineering. The model of this laboratory or center is to primarily combine outputs as achieved by high-level research with lower-level system development and entrepreneurship in a technical university environment. Students are allocated to projects at different levels with PhDs and Master students allocated to the generation of new knowledge and new technologies, while students at the diploma and Baccalaureus level are allocated to electronic systems development with a direct and a near application for application in industry or the commercial and public sectors in South Africa.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman received the WIRSAM Award of 1983 and the WIRSAM Award in 1985 in South Africa for best research papers by a young scientist at two international conferences on electron microscopy in South Africa. He subsequently received the SA Microelectronics Award for the best dissertation emanating from studies executed at a South African university in the field of Physics and Microelectronics in South Africa in 1987. In October of 2011, Professor Snyman received the prestigious Institutional Award for 'Innovator of the Year” for 2010 at the Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa.

Thus proteomics, an area of research that detects all protein forms expressed in an organism, including splice isoforms and post-translational modifications, is more suitable than genomics for a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical processes that govern life. The most common proteomics applications are currently in the clinical field for the identification, in a variety of biological matrices, of biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of disorders. From the comparison of proteomic profiles of control and disease or different physiological states, which may emerge, changes in protein expression can provide new insights into the roles played by some proteins in human pathologies. Understanding how proteins function and interact with each other is another goal of proteomics that makes this approach even more intriguing. Specialized technology and expertise are required to assess the proteome of any biological sample. Currently, proteomics relies mainly on mass spectrometry (MS) combined with electrophoretic (1 or 2-DE-MS) and/or chromatographic techniques (LC-MS/MS). MS is an excellent tool that has gained popularity in proteomics because of its ability to gather a complex body of information such as cataloging protein expression, identifying protein modification sites, and defining protein interactions. The Proteomics topic aims to attract contributions on all aspects of MS-based proteomics that, by pushing the boundaries of MS capabilities, may address biological problems that have not been resolved yet.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/18.jpg",keywords:"Mono- and Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (1-and 2-DE), Liquid Chromatography (LC), Mass Spectrometry/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS; MS/MS), Proteins"}],annualVolumeBook:{},thematicCollection:[],selectedSeries:null,selectedSubseries:null},seriesLanding:{item:null},libraryRecommendation:{success:null,errors:{},institutions:[]},route:{name:"profile.detail",path:"/profiles/153541",hash:"",query:{},params:{id:"153541"},fullPath:"/profiles/153541",meta:{},from:{name:null,path:"/",hash:"",query:{},params:{},fullPath:"/",meta:{}}}},function(){var t;(t=document.currentScript||document.scripts[document.scripts.length-1]).parentNode.removeChild(t)}()
