Proximity effect is one of the most tremendous consequences that produces unacceptable exposures during electron beam lithography (EBL), and thus distorting the layout pattern. In this paper, we propose the first work which considers the proximity effect during layout stage. We first give an accurate evaluation scheme to estimate the proximity effect by fast Gauss transform. Then, we devote a proximity effect aware detailed placement objective function to simultaneously consider wirelength, density and proximity effect. Furthermore, cell swapping and cell matching based methods are used to optimize the objective function such that there is no overlap among cells. Compared with a state-of-the-art work, experimental result shows that our algorithm can efficiently reduce the proximity variations and maintain high wirelength quality at a reasonable runtime.

The measurement of terminal productivity is the issue of extreme importance to both terminal owners and management and customers. As the sector of transport is highly intensive in terms of investments into the infrastructure, the productivity of a terminal may play a crucial role in competing with other terminals. Productivity is defined in terms of inputs and output. The majority of the available studies, wherein this issue is addressed, are generally focused on the determination of functional dependence between inputs and output using the method of regressive analysis. The present article provides an insight into the Data Envelopment Analysis method as a tool for measuring productivity. This technique enables a rather accurate evaluation of terminal productivity by means of comparative analysis, which, in fact, appears to be the only feasible alternative in cases where statistic data required for performing regressive analysis is lacking.

The following four fundamental points on the use of experimental models will be described to ensure an accurate evaluation of the effects of medication and laser therapy on induced tooth movement and associated root resorption: (1) If the objective is to check the effect on root resorption, the forces experimentally applied must produce a lesion on the cementoblast layer in all specimens; (2) If the objective is to optimize induced tooth movement and reduce treatment time without side effects, the forces experimentally applied should not produce a lesion in the cementoblast layer in any specimen; (3) The laser therapy operator, the person administering medication and the person that places appliances should not know which animals will effectively receive the test treatment, and the control groups should receive placebo treatments; (4) CT and microscopic analysis of the specimens should be random, and the group to which the specimen belongs should not be identified to ensure that the person reading images and the pathologists are not influenced in their evaluation of phenomena. These measures will ensure that results are more reliable and easier to extrapolate to orthodontic clinical practice.
