The Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor (ALMR) Actinide Recycle System is being developed in the United States for application early in the 21st century. The ALMR is a major part of this system and has missions beginning with near-term (10 years), medium term (15-20 years), and long-term (beyond 20 years) horizons. These missions use the same reactor design with modifications only to the reactor core...

EUV lithography is one of the promising technologies for manufacturing devices at 16 nm half-pitch node and below. EUV resists are required to improve the resolution, line width roughness (LWR), and sensitivity. However it is generally thought that the lithographic performance is determined by the trade-off relationship among these factors. Moreover, resist outgassing is another issue with EUV ...

Climate model dynamics are driven by external and internal forcing. The primary forces affecting the thermal field are long wave radiative (LWR) heating, short wave radiative (SWR) heating, and convection (cumulus, etc.). These forcing effects are cycled through the thermal field to the motion field by nonlinear transfer. The model dependent variables, in particular temperature (T), moisture (Q...

Long wave radiation (LWR) forcing is determined in atmospheric global climate models (AGCMs) by a heating algorithm embedded in the model. These algorithms compute vertical heating rate (HR) profiles from profiles of temperature (T), moisture (Q), clouds, and minor atmospheric constituents; thus the HRs depend on the vertical structure of the input variables plus internal physics. The sensitivi...

1. Methods to be considered for multivariate calibration Many methods for multivariate calibration have been proposed. It turns out that many of the methods perform similarly. To avoid confusion due to use of many different methods, it is suggested that only the following should be considered: Multiple linear regression (MLR) Principal component regression (PCR) Partial least squares (PLS) Neur...
