The Use-Mention Distinction and its Importance to HCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we contend that the ability to engage in meta-dialog is necessary for free and flexible conversation. Central to the possibility of meta-dialog is the ability to recognize and negotiate the distinction between the use and mention of a word. The paper surveys existing theoretical approaches to the use-mention distinction, and briefly describes some of our ongoing efforts to implement a system which represents the use-mention distinction in the service of simple meta-dialog.

In this paper, analytical models for NBTI induced degradation in a P-channel triple gate MOSFET and HCI induced degradation in an N-channel bulk FinFET are presented, through solving the Reaction-Diffusion equations multi-dimensionally considering geometry dependence of this framework of equations. The new models are compared to measurement data and gives excellent results. The results interpre...
