We intend to turn the reader s attention towards CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor the mainstream semicon ductor technology Within a decade silicon CMOS devices will be atoms long and atoms deep Of billion devices on a chip only may fail This calls for extreme control of atomistic processes We review research topics in basic materials science which are likely to match the needs of CM...

Seven major constructs—belonging, meaning, hope, the sacred, morality, beauty, and acceptance of dying—were revealed in an analysis of the literature pertaining to patient spiritual needs. The authors embedded these constructs within a 29-item survey designed to be inclusive of traditional religion, as well as non–institutional-based spirituality. This article describes the development of a mul...

The bounded arithmetic theory S 2 is nitely axiomatized if and only if the polynomial hierarchy provably collapses. If T i 2 equals S i+1 2 then T i 2 is equal to S 2 and proves that the polynomial time hierarchy collapses to p i+3 , and, in fact, to the Boolean hierarchy over p i+2 and to p i+1 =poly .

introduction: length of stay is one of the most important and most practical indices used in hospitals today and presents the performance and efficiency of the hospitals. on the other hand, hierarchical analysis technique, one of the group decision making techniques, is utilized to determine priorities. therefore, this study was conducted to identify the factors affecting length of stay in alza...

A problem of a hierarchy structure optimization is considered. Hierarchical structures are widely used in the Analytic Hierarchy Process, conjoint analysis, and various other methods of multiple criteria decision making. The problem consists in finding a structure that needs a minimum number of pair comparisons for a given total number of the alternatives. For an optimal hierarchy, the minimum ...
