Quantum hydrodynamic simulation of discrete-dopant fluctuated physical quantities in nanoscale FinFET

Impact of the discrete dopants on device performance is crucial in determining the behavior of nanoscale semiconductor devices. Atomistic quantum mechanical device simulation for studying the effect of discrete dopants on device's physical quantities is urgent. This work explores the physics of discrete-dopant-induced characteristic fluctuations in 16-nm fin-typed field effect transistor (FinFET) devices. Discrete dopants are statistically positioned in the three-dimensional channel region to examine associated carrier's characteristic, concurrently capturing “dopant concentration variation” and “dopant position fluctuation”. An experimentally validated quantum hydrodynamic device simulation was conducted to investigate the potential profile and threshold voltage fluctuations of the 16-nm FinFET. Results of this study provide further insight into the problem of fluctuation and the mechanism of immunity against fluctuation in 16-nm devices.     

Supporting early pruning in top-k query processing on massive data

This paper analyzes the execution behavior of “No Random Accesses” (NRA) and determines the depths to which each sorted file is scanned in growing phase and shrinking phase of NRA respectively. The analysis shows that NRA needs to maintain a large quantity of candidate tuples in growing phase on massive data. Based on the analysis, this paper proposes a novel top-k algorithm Top-K with Early Pruning (TKEP) which performs early pruning in growing phase. General rule and mathematical analysis for early pruning are presented in this paper. The theoretical analysis shows that early pruning can prune most of the candidate tuples. Although TKEP is an approximate method to obtain the top-k result, the probability for correctness is extremely high. Extensive experiments show that TKEP has a significant advantage over NRA.

Relative importance,specific investment and ownership in interorganizational systems

Implementation and maintenance of interorganizational systems (IOS) require investments by all the participating firms. Compared with intraorganizational systems, however, there are additional uncertainties and risks. This is because the benefits of IOS investment depend not only on a firm’s own decisions, but also on those of its business partners. Without appropriate levels of investment by all the firms participating in an IOS, they cannot reap the full benefits. Drawing upon the literature in institutional economics, we examine IOS ownership as a means to induce value-maximizing noncontractible investments. We model the impact of two factors derived from the theory of incomplete contracts and transaction cost economics: relative importance of investments and specificity of investments. We apply the model to a vendor-managed inventory system (VMI) in a supply chain setting. We show that when the specificity of investments is high, this is a more critical determinant of optimal ownership structure than the relative importance of investments. As technologies used in IOS become increasingly redeployable and reusable, and less specific, the relative importance of investments becomes a dominant factor. We also show that the bargaining mechanism—or the agreed upon approach to splitting the incremental payoffs—that is used affects the relationship between these factors in determining the optimal ownership structure of an IOS.

Physiological and psychophysical responses in handling maximum acceptable weights under different footwear--floor friction conditions

A study on combined manual materials-handling tasks performed on floors under three friction levels was conducted. Eight male subjects participated in the study. The maximum acceptable weight of handling, including lifting, carrying for 3m, lowering, and walking 3m back at twice per minute was determined. The subject then performed the same tasks for 10 min. Heart rate, Vo2, energy efficiency, perceived sense of slip, and rating of perceived exertion for whole body strain were measured. The results showed that the effects of friction level on the maximum acceptable weights of handling, perceived sense of slip, Vo2, and energy efficiency were statistically significant (p相似文献

Scalable parallel data mining for association rules

The authors propose two new parallel formulations of the Apriori algorithm (R. Agrawal and R. Srikant, 1994) that is used for computing association rules. These new formulations, IDD and HD, address the shortcomings of two previously proposed parallel formulations CD and DD. Unlike the CD algorithm, the IDD algorithm partitions the candidate set intelligently among processors to efficiently parallelize the step of building the hash tree. The IDD algorithm also eliminates the redundant work inherent in DD, and requires substantially smaller communication overhead than DD. But IDD suffers from the added cost due to communication of transactions among processors. HD is a hybrid algorithm that combines the advantages of CD and DD. Experimental results on a 128-processor Cray T3E show that HD scales just as well as the CD algorithm with respect to the number of transactions, and scales as well as IDD with respect to increasing candidate set size
