This book develops a new theory of multi-parameter singular integrals associated with Carnot–Carathéodory balls. The book first details the classical theory of Calderón–Zygmund singular integrals and applications to linear partial differential equations. It then outlines the theory of multi-parameter Carnot–Carathéodory geometry, where the main tool is a quantitative version of the classical theorem of Frobenius. The book then gives several examples of multi-parameter singular integrals arising naturally in various problems. The final chapter of the book develops a general theory of singular integrals that generalizes and unifies these examples. This is one of the first general theories of multi-parameter singular integrals that goes beyond the product theory of singular integrals and their analogs. This book will interest graduate students and researchers working in singular integrals and related fields.

Since its introduction by the author in the 1970s, the algebraic K-theory of spaces has been recognized as the main tool for studying parametrized phenomena in the theory of manifolds. However, a full proof of the equivalence relating the two areas has not appeared until now. This book presents such a proof, essentially completing the author's program from more than thirty years ago. The main result is a stable parametrized h-cobordism theorem, derived from a homotopy equivalence between a space of PL h-cobordisms on a space X and the classifying space of a category of simple maps of spaces having X as deformation retract. The smooth and topological results then follow by smoothing and triangulation theory. The proof has two main parts. The essence of the first part is a “desingularization,” improving arbitrary finite simplicial sets to polyhedra. The second part compares polyhedra with PL manifolds by a thickening procedure. Many of the techniques and results developed should be useful in other connections.

All Engineering Science students at the University of Toronto take the cornerstone Praxis Sequence of engineering design courses. In the first course in the sequence, Praxis I, students practice three types of engineering design across three distinct design projects. Previously the final design project had the students first frame and then develop conceptual design solutions for a self-identified challenge. While this project succeeded in providing an appropriate foundational design experience, it failed to fully prepare students for the more complex design experience in Praxis II. The project also failed to ingrain the need for clear and concise engineering communication, and the students’ lack of understanding of detail design inhibited their ability to make practical and realistic design decisions. A revised Product Design project in Praxis I was designed with the primary aims of: (a) pushing students beyond the conceptual design phase of the design process, and (b) simulating a real-world work environment by: (i) increasing the interdependence between student teams and (ii) increasing the students’ perceived value of engineering communication.

Current architecture studios are missing an important phase in the education process, which is constructing the students’ conceptual ideas on a real physical scale. The design-build approach enables the students to test their ideas, theories, material selection, construction methods, environmental constraints, simulation results, level of space functionality and other important aspects when used by real target clients in an existing context. This paper aims to highlight the importance of using the design-build method through discussing a design project case study carried out by the Masters of Architecture design programme students at Beirut Arab University, who have built prototype units for refugees on a 1:1 scale.

Abstract In this study, an FIB-based cross section TEM sample preparation procedure for targeted via with barrier/Cu seed layer is introduced. The dual beam FIB with electron beam for target location and Ga ion beam for sample milling is the main tool for the targeted via with barrier/Cu seed layer inspection. With the help of the FIB operation and epoxy layer protection, ta cross section TEM sample at a targeted via with barrier/Cu seed layer could be made. Subsequent TEM inspection is used to verify the quality of the structure. This approach was used in the Cu process integration performance monitor. All these TEM results are very helpful in process development and yield improvement.

In many political researches there if a conclusion that the world system which was founded after the Second world war is destroyed of chaos. But the world system couldn`t work while the two opposite systems — socialist and capitalist were in hard confrontation. After collapse of the Soviet Union and the European socialist community the nature of intergovernmental relations and behavior of the international community did not change. The power always was and still is the main tool of international communication.

The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous paper (2017) on the boundary behavior of mappings in the Sobolev classes on Riemann surfaces, where the reader will be able to find the corresponding historic comments and a discussion of many definitions and relevant results. The given paper was devoted to the theory of the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec on Riemannian surfaces first introduced for the plane in the paper of Iwaniec T. and Sverak V. (1993) On mappings with integrable dilatation and then extended to the spatial case in the monograph of Iwaniec T. and Martin G. (2001) devoted to Geometric function theory and non-linear analysis. At the present paper, it is developed the theory of the boundary behavior of the so--called mappings with finite length distortion first introduced in the paper of Martio O., Ryazanov V., Srebro U. and Yakubov~E. (2004) in the spatial case, see also Chapter 8 in their monograph (2009) on Moduli in modern mapping theory. As it was shown in the paper of Kovtonyuk D., Petkov I. and Ryazanov V. (2017) On the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion in the plane, such mappings, generally speaking, are not mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec because their first partial derivatives can be not locally integrable. At the same time, this class is a generalization of the known class of mappings with bounded distortion by Martio--Vaisala from their paper (1988). Moreover, this class contains as a subclass the so-called finitely bi-Lipschitz mappings introduced for the spatial case in the paper of Kovtonyuk D. and Ryazanov V. (2011) On the boundary behavior of generalized quasi-isometries, that in turn are a natural generalization of the well-known classes of bi-Lipschitz mappings as well as isometries and quasi-isometries. In the research of the local and boundary behavior of mappings with finite length distortion in the spatial case, the key fact was that they satisfy some modulus inequalities which was a motivation for the consideration more wide classes of mappings, in particular, the Q-homeomorphisms (2005) and the mappings with finite area distortion (2008). Hence it is natural that under the research of mappings with finite length distortion on Riemann surfaces we start from establishing the corresponding modulus inequalities that are the main tool for us. On this basis, we prove here a series of criteria in terms of dilatations for the continuous and homeomorphic extension to the boundary of the mappings with finite length distortion between domains on arbitrary Riemann surfaces.
