In silico assessment of a compliant vascular prosthesis by Wong, Yi Jean

“…Compliance test will also be done to have a comparison between the fibers fabricated and the native blood vessel to observe the physical changes when the vascular prosthesis are placed in a “physiological-like” environment. Results have shown that the design of the fiber indeed has an effect on mechanical properties, in particular the von Mises Stress. …”

Fast analysis of a large-scale inductive interconnect by block-structure-preserved macromodeling by Tan, Sheldon X. D., Yu, Hao, Chu, Chunta Lei He, Shi, Yiyu, Smart, David, He, Lei

“…This enables us to efficiently build and simulate the macromodel within a SPICE-like circuit simulator. Experiments show that our method achieves up to 7× faster modeling building time, up to 33× faster simulation time, and as much as 67× smaller waveform error compared to SAPOR [a second-order reduction based on nodal analysis (NA)] and PACT (a first-order 2×2 structured reduction based on modified NA).…”

InGaP grown on Ge (100) by molecular beam epitaxy: a spectroscopic ellipsometry study by D’Costa, Vijay Richard, Loke, Wan Khai, Zhou, Qian, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Yeo, Yee-Chia

“…The far-infrared dielectric function reveals two absorption peaks that can be attributed to InP- and GaP-like vibrational modes. The visible-UV dielectric function of In0.52Ga0.48P alloys nearly lattice-matched to Ge shows the critical points E 0, E 1, and E 2, energies of which are determined using a derivative analysis. …”
