As feature sizes shrink to deep sub-micron, the performance of VLSI chips becomes dominated by the interconnect delay. In a traditional top-down design ow, logic synthesis algorithms optimize gate area or delay without accurate interconnect delay because of lack of physical design information. Thus, the e ectiveness of the optimization techniques is limited. We integrate logic synthesis and phy...

The increasing attention being paid to metallic nano particles (MNPs) is due to their intensive applications in different areas of science such as medicine, chemistry, agriculture, and biotechnology. The main methods for nanoparticle production are chemical and physical approaches that are often costly and potentially harmful to the environment. Since the eco-frien...

H-ZSM-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a template in the presence of various TPABr concentrations. The effect of different TPABr/TPAOH molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T=300°C, P=1 atm, and WHSV=...

Developing reliable and eco-friendly processes for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an essential step in the field of application of nanotechnology .Using natural factories such as biological systems is a way of developing such processes. Nowadays, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles is very common due to its numerous applications in different fields. The synthesis of these nanopart...

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common skin disease that causes physical and psychological problems for affected individual. In addition to systemic changes in hormone levels, overproduction of local steroids, especially androgens are associated with AV. Cytochrome (CYP) 19 is involved in the synthesis of estrogens. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of CYP19A

{ As IC fabrication capabilities extend down to sub-half-micron, the signiicance of interconnect delay and power dissipation can no longer be ignored. Existing enhancements to synthesis and physical design tools have not been able to solve the problem. The only remaining alternative is that tradeoos in logical and physical domains must be addressed in an integrated manner. Vast business opportu...
