One MEMS Design Tool with Maximal Six Design Flows
This paper presents one MEMS design tool with total six design flows, which
makes it possible that the MEMS designers are able to choose the most suitable
design flow for their specific devices. The design tool is divided into three
levels and interconnected by six interfaces. The three levels are
lumped-element model based system level, finite element analysis based device
level and process level, which covers nearly all modeling and simulation
functions for MEMS design. The six interfaces are proposed to automatically
transmit the design data between every two levels, thus the maximal six design
flows could be realized. The interfaces take the netlist, solid model and
layout as the data inlet and outlet for the system, device and process level
respectively. The realization of these interfaces are presented and verified by
design examples, which also proves that the enough flexibility in the design
flow can really increase the design efficiency.Comment: Submitted on behalf of EDA Publishing Association

Verification and Validation of Semantic Annotations
In this paper, we propose a framework to perform verification and validation
of semantically annotated data. The annotations, extracted from websites, are
verified against the schema.org vocabulary and Domain Specifications to ensure
the syntactic correctness and completeness of the annotations. The Domain
Specifications allow checking the compliance of annotations against
corresponding domain-specific constraints. The validation mechanism will detect
errors and inconsistencies between the content of the analyzed schema.org
annotations and the content of the web pages where the annotations were found.Comment: Accepted for the A.P. Ershov Informatics Conference 2019(the PSI

Electrochemical polymerisation of phenol in aqueous solution on a Ta/PbO2 anode
This paper deals with the treatment of aqueous phenol solutions using an electrochemical technique. Phenol can be partly eliminated from aqueous solution by electrochemically initiated polymerisation. Galvanostatic electrolyses of phenol solutions at concentration up to 0.1 mol dm−3 were carried out on a Ta/PbO2 anode. The polymers formed are insoluble in acidic medium but soluble in alkaline. These polymers were filtered and then dissolved in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1 mol dm−3). The polymers formed were quantified by total organic carbon (TOC) measurement. It was found that the conversion of phenol into polymers increases as a function of initial concentration, anodic current density, temperature, and solution pH. The percentage of phenol polymerised can reach 15%
Effect of bilayer coupling on tunneling conductance of double-layer high T_c cuprates
Physical effects of bilayer coupling on the tunneling spectroscopy of high
T cuprates are investigated. The bilayer coupling separates the bonding
and antibonding bands and leads to a splitting of the coherence peaks in the
tunneling differential conductance. However, the coherence peak of the bonding
band is strongly suppressed and broadened by the particle-hole asymmetry in the
density of states and finite quasiparticle life-time, and is difficult to
resolve by experiments. This gives a qualitative account why the bilayer
splitting of the coherence peaks was not clearly observed in tunneling
measurements of double-layer high-T oxides.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in PR
Semileptonic transition in three--point QCD sum rules and HQET with gluon condensate corrections
Taking into account the gluon condensate contributions, the form factors of
the semileptonic transition with are
calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules. The heavy quark
effective theory limit of the form factors are also computed. The relevant
total decay width as well as the branching ratio are evaluated and compared
with the predictions of the other non-perturbative approaches.Comment: 27 Pages, 4 Figures and 4 Table
Spin-Orbit-Induced Orbital Excitations in Sr2RuO4 and Ca2RuO4: A Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering Study
High-resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the oxygen
K-edge has been used to study the orbital excitations of Ca2RuO4 and Sr2RuO4.
In combination with linear dichroism X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the
ruthenium 4d-orbital occupation and excitations were probed through their
hybridization with the oxygen p-orbitals. These results are described within a
minimal model, taking into account crystal field splitting and a spin-orbit
coupling \lambda_{so}=200~meV. The effects of spin-orbit interaction on the
electronic structure and implications for the Mott and superconducting ground
states of (Ca,Sr)2RuO4 are discussed.Comment: accepted in PRB 201
Translation from Classical Two-Way Automata to Pebble Two-Way Automata
We study the relation between the standard two-way automata and more powerful
devices, namely, two-way finite automata with an additional "pebble" movable
along the input tape. Similarly as in the case of the classical two-way
machines, it is not known whether there exists a polynomial trade-off, in the
number of states, between the nondeterministic and deterministic pebble two-way
automata. However, we show that these two machine models are not independent:
if there exists a polynomial trade-off for the classical two-way automata, then
there must also exist a polynomial trade-off for the pebble two-way automata.
Thus, we have an upward collapse (or a downward separation) from the classical
two-way automata to more powerful pebble automata, still staying within the
class of regular languages. The same upward collapse holds for complementation
of nondeterministic two-way machines.
These results are obtained by showing that each pebble machine can be, by
using suitable inputs, simulated by a classical two-way automaton with a linear
number of states (and vice versa), despite the existing exponential blow-up
between the classical and pebble two-way machines
Magnetic-field-induced spin excitations and renormalized spin gap of the underdoped superconductor LaSrCuO
High-resolution neutron inelastic scattering experiments in applied magnetic
fields have been performed on LaSrCuO (LSCO). In zero
field, the temperature dependence of the low-energy peak intensity at the
incommensurate momentum-transfer $\mathbf{Q}^{\
}_{\mathrm{IC}}=(0.5,0.5\pm\delta,0),(0.5\pm\delta,0.5,0)T^{\}_{c}$ which broadens and shifts to lower
temperature upon the application of a magnetic field along the c-axis. A
field-induced enhancement of the spectral weight is observed, but only at
finite energy transfers and in an intermediate temperature range. These
observations establish the opening of a strongly downward renormalized spin gap
in the underdoped regime of LSCO. This behavior contrasts with the observed
doping dependence of most electronic energy features.Comment: accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Shot noise of a quantum dot with non-Fermi liquid correlations
The shot noise of a one-dimensional wire interrupted by two barriers shows
interesting features related to the interplay between Coulomb blockade effects,
Luttinger correlations and discrete excitations. At small bias the Fano factor
reaches the lowest attainable value, 1/2, irrespective of the ratio of the two
junction resistances. At larger voltages this asymmetry is power-law
renormalized by the interaction strength. We discuss how the measurement of
current and these features of the noise allow to extract the Luttinger liquid
parameter.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures,to be published in Phys. Rev. B. For high

Two-particle decays of B_c meson into charmonium states
The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of
B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates
into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints
of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are
discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into
account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states,
that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX axodraw-style, 1 figure, 2 table
