The classical planar Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET) is fabricated by oxidation of a semiconductor namely Silicon. In this generation, an advanced technique called 3D system architecture FETs, are introduced for high performance and low power quality of devices. Based on the limitations of Short Channel Effect (SCE), Silicon (Si) FET cannot be scaled under 10nm. Hence various performing measures like methods, principles, and geometrics are done to upscale the semiconductor. CMOS using alternate channel materials like GE and III-Vs on substrates is a highly anticipated technique for developing nanowire structures. By considering these issues, in this paper, we developed a simulation model that provides accurate results basing on Gate layout and multi-gate NW FET's so that the scaling can be increased few nanometers long and performance limits gradually increases. The model developed is SILVACO that tests the action of FET with different gate oxide materials.

<p>The paper is about how the application is maintained and monitored using Azure CI pipeline. Maintaining and monitoring the quality of the software plays an important role in company’s growth and performance. This is achieved using DevOps. Few years back agile methodology was playing a major role in the industry, software were deployed in monthly, quarterly or annual basis, which is time consuming. However, now industries are moving towards DevOps methodology where in the software deployed multiple times a day. This methodology provides the organization to constantly and reliably add new features and automatically deploy them across various platforms or environment in order to gain high performance and quality assurance products. Continuous integration and Continuous delivery/ Continuous deployment are the pillars of DevOps. Continuous integration, Continuous delivery and Continuous deployment are the continuous software development practices of industry. By automating the build, test and deployment of software, CI/CD bridges the space between development and operation teams. This paper also concentrates on how the Test Driven Development features of .Net technologies supports the quality maintenance and monitoring of the application.</p>

The University of Eastern African, Baraton (UEAB) mission is concerned with providing a religious education in a holistic environment. This includes education in the gospel globally by recruiting students from all spheres including those of other faiths. The aim is witnessing to them during their four-year stay at the institution with the hope of introducing them to the Adventist faith. The main focus of this study was to establish whether the UEAB was true to its basic philosophy of witnessing to people of other faiths – in this case by engaging Muslim students. A qualitative-research design was adopted for the study. The data was collected by means of document analysis, interviews and observations. Fifteen administrators and twelve Muslim students were used for the investigation. The study investigated the strategies and channels to evangelise students from other faiths contextually, and ascertain whether the UEAB indeed is living up to its own vision and mission. Recommendations are put forward to engage students from other faiths through more personnel and, for instance, new strategies to engage the Muslims on campus through friendship evangelisation.

High Performance Computing Clusters (HPCCs) are common platforms for solving both up-to-date challenges and high-dimensional problems faced by IT service providers. Nonetheless, the use of HPCCs carries a substantial and growing economic and environmental impact, owing to the large amount of energy they need to operate. In this paper, a two-stage holistic optimisation mechanism is proposed to manage HPCCs in an eco-efficiently manner. The first stage logically optimises the resources of the HPCC through reactive and proactive strategies, while the second stage optimises hardware allocation by leveraging a genetic fuzzy system tailored to the underlying equipment. The model finds optimal trade-offs among quality of service, direct/indirect operating costs, and environmental impact, through multiobjective evolutionary algorithms meeting the preferences of the administrator. Experimentation was done using both actual workloads from the Scientific Modelling Cluster of the University of Oviedo and synthetically-generated workloads, showing statistical evidence supporting the adoption of the new mechanism.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the need for workplace innovation policies and practices in Europe and evaluate programs that already have been developed.Design/methodology/approachThe paper describes the concept of workplace innovation and trends in society explaining its emergence. The paper then presents and discusses the results of evaluation research as far as this is available.FindingsA growing number of countries is conducting or developing some kind of programme on workplace innovation. These programmes differ in size and governance. Evaluation research shows that simultaneous improvement of performance and quality of working life is possible under certain conditions such as the participation of employees in change projects.Research limitations/implicationsConcepts and designs of evaluation research projects differ considerably. This gives new challenges for companies, trade unions, governments and researchers. In EU2020, little attention is paid to workplace innovation but there is a ray of hope in the draft integrated guidelines for employment policies and in the Flagship Initiative Innovation Union.Originality/valueSocial innovation in the workplace, or workplace innovation, is a new concept, covering to some extent new practices that appear to be relevant for organisations and governments.

Titanium and its alloys have increasingly become a material of choice for applications in high-performance structures due to their superior corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. However, in contrast to conventional steel alloys, there exist little design and manufacturing experience in the heavy fabrication industry with large welded structures made of titanium materials. In addressing the above concern, the University of New Orleans funded by Office of Naval Research (ONR) initiated program on investigation of manufacturability and performance of a titanium mid-ship section. The uniqueness of this program is its focus upon a representative full-size mid-ship section upon which relevant scientific and technological challenges are simulated and experimentally validated. This paper reports the measurements of residual stresses using neutron diffraction in titanium T-joints. The residual stresses were measured using Engin-X at ISIS (UK) and the Kowari Strain Scanner at ANSTO (Australia). This experimental research was used to validate our in house predictions and significantly improved the knowledge and understanding of the welding process of titanium alloys.

Since Edward Leamer's memorable 1983 paper, “Let's Take the Con out of Econometrics,” empirical microeconomics has experienced a credibility revolution. While Leamer's suggested remedy, sensitivity analysis, has played a role in this, we argue that the primary engine driving improvement has been a focus on the quality of empirical research designs. The advantages of a good research design are perhaps most easily apparent in research using random assignment. We begin with an overview of Leamer's 1983 critique and his proposed remedies. We then turn to the key factors we see contributing to improved empirical work, including the availability of more and better data, along with advances in theoretical econometric understanding, but especially the fact that research design has moved front and center in much of empirical micro. We offer a brief digression into macroeconomics and industrial organization, where progress—by our lights—is less dramatic, although there is work in both fields that we find encouraging. Finally, we discuss the view that the design pendulum has swung too far. Critics of design-driven studies argue that in pursuit of clean and credible research designs, researchers seek good answers instead of good questions. We briefly respond to this concern, which worries us little.

Sporting Performance

The conditions for high performance have changed considerably over the last few years. Athletes must spend more time training and competing, devote a lot of time to mental, physical and nutritional professionals and continue to respond to some constraints such as studying, spending time with their families, friends and quality of life. In this context and based on the work of Rosa, we wonder about the capacity of elite athletes to combine all these constraints, namely to manage the acceleration in their pace of life, in order to be able to achieve always more and better in the same time unit. To address this issue, we interviewed 42 French high-level athletes who train at the National Institute of Sport, Expertise and Performance (INSEP). Results show that to suit their goals, athletes implement arrangement and adjustment strategies aimed at making the time they have wholly useful and efficient. This time constraint puts athletes in a perpetual state of tension, on the verge of a good or poor life. The paper shows how the question of time, and particularly the acceleration of pace of life, is vital for modern sporting performance.

And Performance

Many large-scale online applications enable thousands of users to access their services simultaneously. However, the overall service quality of an online application usually degrades when the number of users increases because, traditionally, centralized server architecture does not scale well. In order to provide better Quality of Service (QoS), service architecture such as Grid computing can be used. This type of architecture offers service scalability by utilizing heterogeneous hardware resources. In this thesis, a novel design of Grid computing middleware, Massively Multi-user Online Platform (MMOP), which integrates the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) structured overlays, is proposed. The objectives of this proposed design are to offer scalability and system design flexibility, simplify development processes of distributed applications, and improve QoS by following specified policy rules. A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) has been created to validate the functionality and performance of MMOP. The simulation results have demonstrated that MMOP is a high performance and scalable servicing and computing middleware.
