Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers are nowadays being prominently used for the manufacture of new generation semiconductor devices. In order to maximize the device yield, the device industry is seeking SOI wafers that meet very stringent wafer specifications such as very low wafer bow and warp. An SOI wafer can undergo severe process-induced stresses during its manufacture leading to significant...

We have integrated the electron-cloud code POSINST [1] with WARP [2]–a 3-D parallel Particle-In-Cell accelerator code developed for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion–so that the two can interoperate. Both codes are run in the same process, communicate through a Python interpreter (already used in WARP), and share certain key arrays (so far, particle positions and velocities). Currently, POSINST provide...

We assume familiarity with PDES (Fujimoto 1990), Adaptive synchronization algorithms have been proposed to improve upon conservative and optimistic algorithms. We present the first known analytical comparison of adaptive, o p t i ~ s t i c algorithms and Time Warp. We define a class of adaptive protocols, the asynchronous adaptive waiting protocols (AAWP’s) and identify several practical protoc...

This paper exemplifies the similarities in Time Warp and computer architecture concepts and terminology, and the continued trend for convergence of ideas in these two areas. Time Warp can provide a means to describe the complex mechanisms being used to allow the instruction execution window to be enlarged. Furthermore it can extend the current mechanisms, which do not scale, in a scaleable mann...

Dynamical relation between ship's motions and warp tension while towing a trawl net was identified by the use of statistical method to be the multivariate AR model. Using this system identification method, the various towing system parameters were obtained by analysing the records of measuring ship's motions and warp tension during the fishing operations in several sea conditions. Based on thes...

Some of the background work which led to the decision to investigate the behaviour of D electrochemicaly compressed into Pd host latices is outlined. The key features of such “Cold Fusion” systems are described. 1. BACKGROUND TO THE RESEARCH ON COLD FUSION It appears to me that most scientists have the impression that my colleague Stanley Pons and I decided one day in late 1983 to go into the l...
