...appears to be con- sistent with a wealth of ARDE measurements in semiconductors, 2 it does not hold for the etching of insula- tors. Indeed, Doemling et al. 3 have reported inverse ARDE of trenches and holes in SiO 2 in a high-density CHF 3 plasma at 20 mTorr. Remarkably, they also reported aspect ratio independent etching ~ ARIE ! when the pressure was lowered to 6.7 mTorr; for fixed etching time, the etch depth was the same for a variety of trench widths and hole diameters ~ as low as 0.25 m m, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 8.5:1 ! . These authors convincingly argued that the strong influence of feature geometry on neutral flux of an etch inhibitor, pro- duced in the CHF 3 plasma, is responsible for the inverse ARDE at the higher pressure. The low pressure results were explained by hypothesizing that the neutral density at the bottom of the trench or hole, while ‘‘too low to cause inverse ARDE, it was still sufficient to suppress regular ARDE.’’ This hypothesis must be valid for all trenches and holes etched at the low pressure, which spanned the regime of aspect ratios between 2.1:1 and 8.5:1. Bailey and Gottscho 4 examined in detail the possibility of ARIE by exploiting the ability of etch inhibitors to slow down the etch rate in smaller aspect ratio trenches and concluded that this method ‘‘may be useful in minimizing ARDE but only over a limited range of aspect ratios and only with peculiar inhibitor fluxes.’’ Even in the...

Tel: þ 1 919 660 7654; Fax: þ 1 919 660 7769 1 Abstract This paper empirically studies determinants of decision by companies to offshore innovation activities. It uses survey data from the international Offshoring Research Network project to estimate the impact of managerial intentionality, past experience, and environmental factors on the probability of offshoring innovation projects. The results show that the emerging shortage of highly skilled science and engineering talent in the US and, more generally, the need to access qualified personnel are important explanatory factors for offshoring innovation decisions. Moreover, contrary to drivers of many other functions, labor arbitrage is less important than other forms of cost savings. The paper concludes with a discussion of the changing dynamics underlying offshoring of innovation activities, suggesting that companies are...

Subjects were interviewed at their place of residence by a consultant psychiatrist familiar with their culture and language. The Hindi translation of the community version of the Geriatric Mental State schedule (GMS-A) was also administered. Psychiatrist's ICD-9 diagnosis was compared with GMS±AGECAT computerized diagnosis. We found low-level agreement in dementia cases (kappa 0.33) whereas the agreement in subjects with depression was high (kappa 0.81). In many subjects GMS-A made a diagnosis of dementia not diagnosed as cases by the psychiatrist, who had the bene®t of additional history information from carers in this population from a dierent culture and educational background. These ®ndings are discussed along with suggestions and present limitations of GMS-A in the diagnosis of dementia in cross-cultural research. Larger...

...Dr. Strayer, In analyzing your wanting to move to using mobile devices over a wireless network in order to move from one examining room to the next to document patient visits, I have come up with a plan. I have also laid out the risks you will inherit if you choose to do so. I am definitely one to take on risks if it is for the betterment of my business or career. So, along with possible risks I have also given you the proper steps to mitigate these risks during your advancement of technology. Technologies advancement has definitely positively influenced society. Unfortunately it has also engaged in a negative effect. Wireless devices have proven to be convenient, flexible, and easy to use. With the use of wireless local area networks it allow users to move from place to place within the office without losing connectivity. Mobile devices are able to synchronize data by the use of network services such as wireless email, web browsing, and internet access. Sharing data and applications with one another would definitely be made easier and convenient. With the convenience, flexibility, and ease comes the risk. The way wireless networks work is by transmitting data through radio frequencies allowing openness to intruders. Intruders can gain access to information systems and bypass firewall protection. Therefore, once data is transmitted between wireless devices, it can be intercepted or disclosed. If an intruder accesses sensitive information, they are able to launch...

...Islamic State and how Muslims are discriminated! An Islamic state (Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية ad-dawlah al-Islamiyah) is a type of government primarily based on the application of shari'a (Islamic law), dispensation of justice, maintenance of law and order. From the early years of Islam, numerous governments have been founded as "Islamic." However, the term "Islamic state" has taken on a more specific connotation since the 20th century. The jihadist group Islamic State (IS) burst on to the international scene in 2014 when it seized large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. It has become notorious for its brutality, including mass killings, abductions and beheadings. The group though has attracted support elsewhere in the Muslim world - and a US-led coalition has vowed to destroy it. The most brutal form of the Islamic state is the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL aka ISIS) which is a Sunni Muslim movement and gained ground in Iraq and Syria post fall of Saddam Hussain in Iraq. The group declared Abu-Bakr-Al-Baghdadi as the new Caliph. Its stated objective is to go back to the religious practices as it existed during the early years of Islam and bring the entire world under an Islamic rule (Dar-ul-Islam). The ISIL has been responsible for unleashing one of the most violent regimes including institutionalizing the system of sex slaves as booty of war, suppression of women and scientific education, persecution of the minorities as well as other non-Sunni believers...

...a post-industrial society, according to Bell: * a shift from manufacturing to services * the centrality of the new science-based industries * the rise of new technical elites and the advent of a new principle of stratification. * Gloria Schuck and Shoshana Zuboff looked at psychological facets. * Zuboff claims that information technology is widening the divide between senior managers and operational level managers. She also claims that prior to widespread use of computer systems, managers, even at most senior level, engaged in both strategic decisions and routine administration but as computers facilitated, these activities move down the hierarchy. * In 1990, Peter Senge collaborated with Arie de Geus and theorized the importance of the use of information in the success of the organization. * Learning organization is an organization where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free and where people are continually learning to see the whole together. * Senge claimed that an organization would need to be structured such that: * People can continuously expand their capacity to learn and be productive * New patterns of thinking are nurtured * Collective aspirations are encouraged * People are encouraged to...

...sometimes you have to put yourself first” are the first words you hear when you listen to this album. “I’m Doing Me” is the second single off the album that has raised to the No. 16 spot on Billboards’ R&B/Hip-Hop chart. This album has 12 tracks that you can take pleasure in listening to. It’s not following the music trend that a pretty face and a nice body will sell your album. Fantasia is a beautiful person inside and out, but her realness and angelic voice should be enough to sell this album. Fantasia has proven herself on this album by singing songs that we all have heard before. You can feel that her heart is in every track on this album. She is in the league with the other R&B divas such as Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, India Arie, Jill Scott, and Joss Stone. Fantasia recruited some of the hit makers to work with her on this album. Claude Kelly, Rico Love, Cee-lo Green, and Ne-Yo who wrote Beyonce’s hit, “To The Left,” another all time ladies anthem. “Man Of The House,” “I’m Here” and “Who’s Been Loving You” are not my favorite tracks. Other R&B female artists have sung about their independence or I’m the right woman for you. The doo-wop sound of “Collard Greens & Cornbread” is one of my favorite tracks off this album. Fantasia vocals are deep then she goes into a higher pitch, as the beat gets higher. This is a snap your finger song with a sample from “Your Precious Love” by Marvin...
