This paper describes the yield estimation approach to layout scaling of submicron VLSI circuits. The presented method makes it feasible to find scaling factor of the IC design which is optimal from the manufacturing yield point of view. It allows also to reduce time-consuming extraction of the critical area functions. Examples of yield calculations using the proposed method are presented as well.

in this research, 272977 test day records collected from 659 herds during years 2001 to 2011 by the iranian animal breeding center were used. in the first section the ability of different models to predict daily milk yield from alternative milk recording was tested. the result showed that a complex model including noon milking time plus the effect of lactation curve of ali and schaeffer functio...

This paper is concerned with the study of the existence of positive solutions for a Navier boundaryvalue problem involving the p-biharmonic operator; the right hand side of problem is a nonsmoothfunctional with variable parameters. The existence of at least three positive solutions is establishedby using nonsmooth version of a three critical points theorem for discontinuous functions. Our resul...

Trained machine learning (ML) algorithms can serve as numerically efficient surrogate models of sophisticated but expensive constitutive material behavior. In the field plasticity, ML yield functions have been proposed that basis a model for plastic If training data such flow rules is gained by micromechanical models, procedure be considered homogenization method captures essential information ...

In this study a non-associated viscoplastic flow rule (NAVFR) with combining von Mises and Tresca loci in place of yield and plastic potential functions and vice verse is presented. With the aid of fully implicit time stepping scheme and discussing the other studies on plastic potential flow rules and also experimental results it is shown that the proposed NAVFR can be adopted to forecast the e...

The development of aeroponic cultivation technology has led to more efficient use of water and plant nutrients for producing high quality agricultural commodities. In this research, cucumbers were grown in columnar aeroponic systems for nine weeks and the effect of spraying rate and spraying duration on the cucumber average yield and water usage efficiency were investigated. The experiments wer...
