In this study, we analyze the impacts of the trapezoidal fin shape of a double-gate FinFET on the electrical characteristics of circuits. The trapezoidal nature of a fin body is generated by varying the angle of the sidewall of the FinFET. A technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) simulation shows that the on-state current increases, and the capacitance becomes larger, as the bottom fin width increases. Several circuit performance metrics for both digital and analog circuits, such as the fan-out 4 (FO4) delay, ring oscillator (RO) frequency, and cut-off frequency, are evaluated with mixed-mode simulations using the 3D TCAD tool. The trapezoidal nature of the FinFET results in different effects on the driving current and gate capacitance. As a result, the propagation delay of an inverter decreases as the angle increases because of the higher on-current, and the FO4 speed and RO frequency increase as the angle increases but decrease for wider angles because of the higher impact on the capacitance rather than the driving strength. Finally, the simulation reveals that the trapezoidal angle range from $10^{\circ}$ to $20^{\circ}$ is a good tradeoff between larger on-current and higher capacitance for an optimum trapezoidal FinFET shape.

Recently, for spectral efficiency and power saving, an incremental best relay selection of a cooperative diversity scheme is proposed. However during the best relay selection process, there may exist a delay between channel estimation and actual data transmission. Consequently, this delay causes outdated channel state information (CSI). We analytically derive the effect of the outdated CSI to an incremental best relay selection diversity scheme. It is noted that the system performance deteriorates with decreasing the value of the correlation coefficient sensitively. When the correlation coefficient reduces from 1 to 0.9, the most performance degradation is denoted. However, the performance degradation is diminished with decreasing the correlation coefficient.

The Logic Built In Self Test (LBIST) technique is substantially applied in chip design in most many semiconductor company in despite of unavoidable overhead like an increase in dimension and time delay occurred as it used. Currently common LBIST software uses the MISR (Multiple Input Shift Register) However, it has many considerations like defining the X-value (Unknown Value), length and number of Scan Chain, Scan Chain and so on for analysis of result occurred in the process. So, to solve these problems, common LBIST software provides the solution method automated. Nevertheless, these problems haven't been solved automatically by Tri-state Bus in logic circuit yet. This paper studies the algorithm that it also suggest algorithm that reduce additional circuits and time delay as matching of pattern about 2-type circuits which are CUT(circuit Under Test) and additional circuits so that the designer can detect the wrong location in CUT: Circuit Under Test.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the validity of the Korean - Child Development Review in screening children with developmental risks. Method: The participants in the study were 172 children aged 6-75 months old and their parents. Data were collected by questionnaire or interview. Korean Denver II and Bayley test were administered with K-CDR for validation of children who were referred for developmental assessment at D University Hospital or public health center. The data were analyzed using correlation, $X^2$ test, and cross tab analysis. Results: There was a significant relationship between the K-CDR and Korean Denver II. The correlation coefficients were .42 to .61 by developmental sector. The sensitivity and specificity of K- CDR were .84 and .66 respectively when "abnormal" with MDI of Bayley test defined as lower than 85 the score which was used as a diagnosis of developmental delay. The responses to 6 questions for parents showed significant differences according to 3 groups by developmental state. Parents of children in the developmental disability group more frequently checked problems from the 26 problem checklist about their children's development and behavior. Conclusion: The results show that K-CDR is valid and has good sensitivity and moderate specificity in screening developmental delay.

In this paper, we analyze previous flow control algorithm for serving ABR traffic, and then propose the algorithm which calculate fair transmission rate and control efficiently ABR traffic using VS/VD switch which has an effect on PNNI environment with long delay. For getting the transmission rate, the proposed algorithm use FMMRA as ER scheme which calculate exactly the fair share. And, in large delay state, we can obtain fair cell sharing by calculating transmission rates which obtained by transmitted queue length information of VD to VS for serve and drain cell in queue Through the computer simulation, we evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm. According to the results, the proposed algorithm shows good performance.

Mass removed from crystalline silicon samples during high power single-pulse laser ablation was studied by measuring the resulting crater morphology with a white light interferometric microscope. The volume and depth of the craters show a strong nonlinear change as the laser irradiance increases across a threshold value, that is, approximately $2.2{\times}10^{10}\;W/cm^2$. Time-resolved shadowgraph images of the ablation plume show the ejection of large particulates from the sample for laser irradiance above the threshold, with a time delay of about 300-400 nsec. The thickness of superheated liquid layer near the critical temperature was numerically estimated, considering the transformation of liquid metal into liquid dielectric near the critical state (i.e., induced transparency). The estimated thickness of the superheated layer at a delay time of 200 nsec agreed with the measured crater depths, suggesting that induced transparency promotes the formation of a deep superheated liquid layer which leads to an explosive boiling responsible for the sudden increase of crater volume and depth.

We propose a new space priority mechanism, and analyze its performance in a single Constant Bit Rate (CBR) server. The arrival process is derived from the superposition of two types of traffics, each in turn results from the superposition of homogeneous ON-OFF sources that can be approximated by means of a two-state Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP). The buffer mechanism enables the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) layer to adapt the quality of the cell transfer to the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and to improve the utilization of network resources. This is achieved by "Selective-Delaying and Pushing-ln"(SDPI) cells according to the class they belong to. The scheme is applicable to schedule delay-tolerant non-real time traffic and delay-sensitive real time traffic. Analytical expressions for various performance parameters and numerical results are obtained. Simulation results in term of cell loss probability conform with our numerical analysis.

Data transmission in poor environment like underwater has considerably serious delay rate and ewer rate. Like this environment usually has heavy fluctuation of error rate and limited wireless communication state. Therefore, mechanism using in such environment has to be efficient and simple. This paper suggests a new block ack mechanism, called the Pervasive Block ACK (PBA), which transmits aggregated ACKs. This mechanism takes effect on reducing number of traffic, decreasing overhead and delay rate in poor environment networks like underwater. Additionally, we can expect energy consumption. We verify propriety and efficiency of PBA through describing numerical result based analytical formula in this paper.

Binary Exponential Back-off (BEB) scheme is widely adopted in both wire and wireless networks for collision resolution. The BEB suffers from several performance drawbacks including long packet delay and low utilization since it doubles the back-off size after each collision. In addition, operation of the BEB algorithm may lead to the last-come-first-serve result among competing users and the BEB is further unstable for every arrival rate greater than 0 due to its random access property[1,2]. In this paper, we propose a deterministic back-off algorithm to reduce contention interval as much as possible for accessing the channel without collision in the back-off process. Simulation results show that our scheme offers a higher throughput as well as a lower packet transfer delay than the BEB by taking advantage of its lower collision ratio in saturation state.

A Mobile Ad hoc network(MANET) is a network consisting of a set of wireless mobile nodes, which communicate with each other without centralized control or established infrastructure. In this paper, to obtain a better understanding of AODV(Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol)and OLSR(Optimized Link State Routing Protocol) routing protocols, different performances are simulated and analyzed using OPNET modeler 14.5 with the various performance metrics, such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay and routing overhead. As a conclusion, in static analysis, the routing overhead of OLSR is affected by the number of nodes, but not data traffic. In AODV case, it is affected by both data traffic and number of nodes. In mobility analysis, routing overhead is not greatly affected by mobility speed in AODV and OLSR, and the PDR(Packet Delivery Ration) of OLSR is decreased as the node speed increased, while AODV is not changed. AS to delay, AODV is always higher than OLSR in both static and nobility cases.
