A Risk Explicit Interval Linear Programming Model for Uncertainty-Based Environmental Economic Optimization in the Lake Fuxian Watershed, China by Xiaoling Zhang, Kai Huang, Rui Zou, Yong Liu, Yajuan Yu

“…Through balancing the optimal system returns and corresponding system risks, decision makers can develop an efficient industrial restructuring scheme based directly on the window of “low risk and high return efficiency” in the trade-off curve. The representative schemes at the turning points of two scenarios were interpreted and compared to identify a preferable planning alternative, which has the relatively low risks and nearly maximum benefits. …”

A VERY LOW BANDGAP LINE-TUNNEL FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR WITH CHANNEL-BURIED OXIDE AND LATERALLY DOPED POCKET by Huu Thai Bui, Chun-Hsing Shih, Dang Chien Nguyen

“…Increasing the pocket concentration or decreasing the pocket thickness both cause an increase not only in the vertical band bending but also in the effective gate-insulator thickness. Because of the trade-off between these two operation parameters, for a given thickness/concentration, there exists an optimal concentration/thickness of the pocket to maximize the on-current. …”
