semiconducting material. When the electron in the conduction band combines with the hole in the valence band, energy is released. In case of indirect band gap semicondutors, phonon will be released to conserve of both energy and momentum. But in case of direct band gap semiconductor, light will be emitted whose wavelength depends on the band gap of the semiconductor. Different

Case: The Gap Inc.’s Social Responsibility Report 1. Do you think Gap has demonstrated global corporate citizenship, as defined in this chapter? Why or why not? Gap has demonstrated global corporate citizenship because they develop one of the most comprehensive factory- monitoring programs in the apparel industry. 2. In its response to problems in its contractor factories, do you think Gap moved through the stages of corporate citizenship presented in this chapter? Why or why not? Gap move

The Gap Inc. In 2010 Case Summary Case Summary This case study describes the business environment of the apparel market and how Gap Inc. tried in this highly competitive market environment to manage a turnaround in the time between 2000 and 2010. The U.S. clothing store sector accounted for approximately $156 billion in the year 2009 and had slightly declined compared to 2008 due to the worldwide recession. Average before-tax profits estimated by IBIS-World were around 3% in the year 2009. The

The Gap Year The “gap year” has been a common rite of passage in many foreign countries for decades, but it has now started to gain significant steam here in America as told by Danielle Wood, a parent from Today’s Parenting. This leads to many questions that parents and students want answered, such as: “Is the “gap year” a good or bad consideration?” “Will this decision put me behind?” “Does this stop me from ever going to college?” “Will I ever get my college degree?” All of these questions have

A Gap Year: Weighing the Pros and Cons By Michelle Knoll on August 1, 2012 Are you considering taking a year off from school? If so, you are not alone. Gap years, as they have come to be known, are becoming increasingly popular, as well as highly debated. Supporters say it can provide students clarity and give them an edge when returning to school. Opponents say it can be unproductive and actually make it harder for students to return to the classroom. Regardless which side of the debate you are

CV neurons stimulate damaging responses from glia that then affect the neurons, that astrocytes are affected directly by a loss of MeCP2 and this is the primary source of neurotoxicity, or that both astrocytes and neurons are affected directly by a loss of MeCP2, but a loss of MeCP2 from glia causes a glial damage response that enhances the initial damage in neurons. The latter scenario has precedence in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; although mutant SOD1 expression in motor neurons is required for

CHAPTER 3 Elements of solid state physics • Semiconductors, insulators and metals • Semiconductors • Insulators • Metals Prof. Dr. Beşire GÖNÜL Semiconductors, Insulators and Metals The electrical properties of metals and insulators are well known to all of us. Everyday experience has already taught us a lot about the electrical properties of metals and insulators. But the same cannot be said about “semiconductors”. What happens when we connect a battery to a piece of a silicon;

similar properties to inorganic semiconductors with hole and electron conduction layer and a band gap.4 Organic semiconductors differ from other organic material in that the molecules that they are made of have π conjugate bonds which allow electrons to move via π-electron cloud overlaps. Conduction mechanisms for organic semiconductor are mainly through tunneling, hopping between localized states, mobility gaps, and phononassisted hopping.5 Like inorganic semiconductors, organic semiconductors can be doped
