RISK AND COMMITMENT: CRITICAL DIMENSIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE TO COUNTER INSURGENCIES
… the concepts of risk and commitment as critical factors for countering insurgents. Risk refers to the risk tolerance for counterinsurgents, specifically the degree to which counterinsurgents emplace development assistance in areas that favor insurgent control. Commitment refers to the …

Critical dimensions of strategy : industry scope shift and reserve strategy trace
We would like to propose two critical dimensions for strategy: "Industry Scope Shift" and "Reverse Strategy Trace." Recent changes in the progress of information technology and economic globalization raised the importance of these dimensions. Rapid progress in information technology requires firms …

Analysis and reduction of variability in scanning electron microscopy measurements of critical dimensions
… assessed the variability that characterized the critical dimension measurements of one specific layer. It was shown that there was significant operator variability, related primarily to several common types of mismeasurement, that could not be monitored using standard production data. Other …

Scaling trapped-ion quantum computers with CMOS-integrated state readout
… of energy consumption and delay as transistor critical dimensions fall below 10 nm, and power density limiting the activity factor in digital systems on a chip. Quantum computers use quantum states ("qubits") to store and manipulate information, giving them fundamental performance advantages …

Metrology and mechanics for manufacturing space-based x-ray grating spectrometers
Small errors in critical dimensions (CDs) or deformation of optical components can lead to severe performance degradation in high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy tools. Consistent innovations towards more precise optical elements and assembly procedures have led to high-resolution optical …

Socioeconomic Status and Media Exposure as Factors in Empathic Development.
… the observed socioeconomic status groups. Three critical dimensions of empathy were assessed: cognitive, affective and behavioral. Participants were 200 volunteers recruited from public and private schools in a small region in southern Appalachia. Respondents were rated on their response to …

Nanofluidic devices for rapid analysis of DNA and proteins
… and sensitivity. Nanofluidic systems with critical dimensions comparable to the molecular scale open up new possibilities for direct observation, manipulation and analysis of biomolecules (single or ensemble), thus providing a novel basis for ultra-sensitive and high-resolution sensors and …

Manufacturability of lab-on-chip devices : dimensional variation analysis of electrode foils using visual technology
… the impedance drop. Thus the consistency in the dimensions of the interdigitated fingers in the electrode is critical to the repeatability of impedance measurements. This work involved a thorough variation analysis of the electrode dimensions to characterize the repeatability of the new …

Ability and motivation in the new world of work : a study of socio-demographic characteristics among school leavers entering the labour market
… the way the phenomenon is organised along critical dimensions. This study looks at a number of salient social and personal demographic data, by characterising early school leavers seeking entry into the labour market. It organises this data along two dimensions on a four quadrant space: …

A Kinematical Investigation of Some External Wind Tunnel Force Measurement Systems
… pyramidal and strain gaged strut balances. The critical dimensions for the pyramidal balance are found to be the lengths of the pyramidal links, like platform half-width, and the model attachment strut. No single dimension on the strain gaged strut is more critical than the others.</p> <p>A new …

A multi-frequency induction heating system for a thermally triggered gel polymer dynamic vibration absorber
… RLC circuits as well as conductors whose critical dimensions are much smaller than their associated skin depth. Extensive modeling of these targets is carried out and experimental results are presented. The ability to "selectively" heat these induction targets requires a power supply that …

Electron-beam lithography towards the atomic scale and applications to nano-optics
… understanding of the resolution limits of EBL is critically important to push nanotechnology toward the atomic scale. In this thesis we show a comprehensive study of the resolution limiting factors of EBL. We demonstrated that low-energy (sub-5 keV) EBL is able to achieve sub-10 nm half-pitch …
