Checkerboard: A Regular Structure and its Synthesis

A regular circuit structure called a Checkerboard (CB) is proposed. In some CB configurations, all mask layers except the via layers are pre-designed, which is attractive for high manufacturability and performance predictability and for lowering mask costs. The synthesis algorithms developed for the CB makes use of their structural regularity and flexibility. No technology mapping is needed; pl...

Calculating Magnetic Permeability Response of a Conducting Square Ring Structure

In the present work, we investigate the tunability of the magnetic response of a new structure. A lattice of periodically arranged close-packed square conducting rings has been studied for this purpose. Here, instead of enhancing the magnetic activity via resonance, like in split-ring resonators, we concentrate on the analysis of the interactions between these rings. The core idea is to design ...

Structure and phase behavior of square-well dimer fluids

A Born–Green–Yvon integral equation approach is used to study the structure and phase behavior of a fluid of fused square-well-sphere dimers. We compute site–site distribution functions for dimers with bond lengths of L50.6s , 0.8s, and 1.0s ~where s is the hard-sphere diameter! and square-well diameters ranging from l51.25s to 2.0s over a wide range of temperature and density, and make compari...

The Four-Phase Model of Interest Development

Building on and extending existing research, this article proposes a 4-phase model of interest development. The model describes 4 phases in the development and deepening of learner interest: triggered situational interest, maintained situational interest, emerging (less-developed) individual interest, and well-developed individual interest. Affective as well as cognitive factors are considered....
