Crystalline Si wires, grown by the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process, have emerged as
promising candidate materials for low-cost, thin-film photovoltaics. Here, we demonstrate VLS-…

There are limited programs for low sodium intake based on the nutrition education model for
housewives who cook family meals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of …

The USA is witnessing a heavy debate about the influence of political campaign contributions
and votes cast on the floor of the United States Congress. We contribute quantitative …

Risk and cost must be balanced in the design of semiconductor processing metrology. More
specifically, one needs to balance the cost of operating the metrology tool, and the loss in …

Recently diverse variations of large margin learning formalism have been proposed to
improve the flexibility and the performance of classic discriminative models such as SVM. …

Scatterometry-based critical dimension (CD), also known as optical CD (OCD), significantly
matches CD scanning electron microscopy in accuracy and precision, in addition to offering …

Recently, there has been significant interest in so-called Hybrid or Holistic Metrology, the
practice of combining measurements from multiple sources in order to improve the estimation …

This paper formulates and explores the tradeoff between re-calibration and off-line metrology
to find the optimal number of samples that maximizes the profit. A sequence of metrology …

The medaka, Oryzias latipes, is a small, egg-laying, freshwater, bony fish which is native to
Asian countries. We were continuously investigated behavioral sequences of the medaka …

There are two competing costs that occur in off line semiconductor processing metrology.
One is the cost of operating the metrology tool, and the other is the loss in terms of processing …
