A quantitative model capturing pattern density effects in Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE), which are important in MEMS, is presented. Our previous work has explored the causes of wafer-level variation and demonstrated die-to-die interactions resulting from pattern density and reactant species consumption. Several reports have focused on experimental evidence and modeling of feature level (aspect ...

1 Abstract In order to study circuit complexity classes within NC 1 in a uniform setting, we need a uniformity condition which is more restrictive than those in common use. Two such conditions, stricter than NC 1 uniformity Ru81,Co85], have appeared in recent research: Immerman's families of circuits deened by rst-order formulas Im87a,Im87b] and a uniformity corresponding to Buss' deterministic...

We generalize various notions of generalized metrics even further to one general concept comprising them all. For convenience, we turn around the ordering in the target domain of the generalized metrics so that we speak of similarity instead of distance. Starting from an extremely general situation without axioms, we examine which axioms or additional properties are needed to obtain useful resu...

Here we present the principal ideas and results of [5] with some indications of proof. We introduce the notion of measure-theoretic uniformity, and we describe its use in recursion theory, hyperarithmetic analysis, and set theory. In recursion theory we show that the set of all sets T such that the ordinals recursive in T are the recursive ordinals has measure 1. In set theory we obtain all of ...

The aim of this paper is to study induced (quasi-)uniformities in Kramosil and Michalek's fuzzy metric spaces. Firstly, $I$-uniformity in the sense of J. Guti'{e}rrez  Garc'{i}a and $I$-neighborhood system in the sense of H"{o}hle and u{S}ostak are induced by the given fuzzy metric. It is shown that the fuzzy metric and the induced $I$-uniformity will generate the same $I$-neighborhood system. ...

high efficiency and uniformity of water and fertilizer application are usually, considered as the ultimate goals of an appropriate design and management of irrigation and fertigation systems. the objective followed in this paper was to present a simulation-optimization model for alternate vs. conventional furrow fertigation. two simulation models (surface fertigation and swms-2d models) along w...

introduction: one of the major causes of image non-uniformity in mri is due to the existence of  non-homogeneity in rf receive and transmit. this can be the most effective source of error in  quantitative  studies  in  mri  imaging.  part  of  this  non-homogeneity  demonstrates  the  characteristics of rf coil and part of it is due to the interaction of rf field with the material being  imaged...

the effect of four types of shortening including a commercially vegetable oil (as control), palm olein (po), palm stearin (ps), and a blend of the latter two oils with rapeseed oil (bf) on the rheological properties of cookie dough was determined by using dynamic oscillatory measurement testing. all of the obtained dough treatments showed weak liquid viscoelastic behavior. their storage (g ) an...
