Study of chemical vapor deposited carbon nanotubes as electrical interconnect by Ng, Chou Shing

“…Experiments are conducted with various thicknesses of Ti/TiN and Al/Al2O3 thin films in order to find a best fit solution that allows considerable growth of carbon nanotubes while as the same time minimizing the resistivity of the barrier layers. Last but not least, a comparison study is done to find out the differences in properties of the carbon nanotubes grown on the two thin films.…”

The concept of security before and after September 11 by Smith, Steve

“…Six main 'schools of thought' are examined in turn to demonstrate how each of these 'schools' challenge and contest the traditional agenda of 'security studies' by attempting to both widen and deepen the concept of 'security'. The last section concludes by examining the value of engaging in such debates on widening and deepening the term 'security' for international politics in our present age.…”

Quantitative CLTs on the Poisson space via Skorohod estimates and p-Poincaré inequalities by Trauthwein, T

“…Combining these with the Malliavin–Stein method, we derive bounds in the Wasserstein and Kolmogorov distances whose application requires minimal moment assumptions on add-one cost operators — thereby extending the results from (Last, Peccati and Schulte, 2016). Our applications include a central limit theorem (CLT) for the Online Nearest Neighbour graph, whose validity was conjectured in (Wade, 2009; Penrose and Wade, 2009). …”

Major program value creation and capture: the S3 framework for assessing and minimizing risk propagation to maximize opportunities for value creation by Armanios, D, Ventresca, MJ, Itani, MK, McCulloch, M

“…To better track risk propagation within major programs, we reconceptualize them as temporary ecosystems, or interlinked organizations whose project-based interdependencies last until the program’s conclusion. This basis motivates our S3 framework and its three unifying themes. …”
