Positional Astronomy at Melbourne Observatory
Image: Album - Photographs
Source: Museum Victoria
Along with the observations required for timekeeping, positional astronomy occupied the largest part of the Observatory's work. Positional astronomy consisted of the accurate and repeated observations of stars, and then the reduction of the observations to provide a precise location of the star in the sky and its magnitude. When the Melbourne Observatory commenced, this involved the use of the transit telescope and accompanying equipment to fix the location. By the 1880s celestial photography had improved so that it was possible to take series of photos of the sky, then measure the position and magnitude of stars on the photographic plates.
The work of the Melbourne Observatory was of particular importance because it was one of the best equipped observatories in the southern hemisphere, and thus able to observe stars that could not be seen from the European and North American observatories.
In the early years Melbourne Observatory became involved in several international projects. In 1863 Government Astronomer Robert Ellery took observations of the parallax of Mars in conjunction with Greenwich Observatory near London and Pulkowa Observatory in St Petersburg; this was to provide measurements that would aid the calculation of the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The following year, in collaboration with Greenwich Observatory, the Observatory was making observations of the polar distances of stars, to measure the amount of apparent displacement due to the refraction of the Earth's atmosphere. Prior to the Transit of Venus in 1874, the Observatory made large numbers of transit observations of stars that would be used by expeditions from the northern hemisphere observatories to locate the precise position of their field observatories.
Several projects were aimed at measuring as accurately as possible the distances between the planets and the Sun, and therefore understanding the mechanics of the solar system. For example, in 1931 the Observatory used its astrographic telescope to photograph the passage of the minor planet Eros; the photographic plates were sent to Greenwich where astronomer Spencer Jones used them with those from other observatories to more accurately measure solar parallax. His work would not be improved upon until the advent of radio astronomy after the Second World War permitted radar measurements of the distance between Earth and Venus.

Prosser scores in overtime as Wild beat Stars 3-2
But Kuemper's solid play in net offset Dallas' aggressive offensive play.
"We were under siege a lot of the night but there was opportunities where he came out and made a play and relieved some of that pressure," Yeo said of Kuemper. "When you see that kind of confidence, for sure your team feeds off that."
Dallas tied it at 11:57 of the second on Garbutt's 10th goal of the season. Garbutt picked up a rebound off Vernon Fiddler's shot in front of the net and knocked it in past Kuemper.
Yeo then called for a timeout to rally his team, and his players responded. Minnesota reclaimed the lead when Suter wristed a shot from the left circle through a crowd and past Lehtonen at 14:09.
Chiasson's power-play goal for Dallas tied it with just over 10 minutes to play.
The game capped the eighth annual Hockey Day Minnesota that included three high school hockey games on an outdoor rink in the Minneapolis suburb of Elk River, and the University of Minnesota men's team against Ohio State.
NOTES: Wild D Jonas Brodin left early in the third after taking a stick to the face from Dallas F Antoine Roussel. Play was halted while the arena crew scraped blood from the ice. Brodin returned to the bench in the third. ... Dallas RW Valeri Nichushkin was a healthy scratch for only the second time this season. ... The Wild reassigned D Jonathon Blum to Iowa of the AHL earlier in the day. ... Haula's goal marked a third straight Hockey Day Minnesota game in which a Wild player scored his first career NHL goal. ... The announced attendance of 19,192 was the largest of the season for Minnesota.

What Milwaukee is talking about
A-game name calling from Obama, Limbaugh
It seems radio commentator Rush Limbaugh was in fired-up mode. Commenting on former President Jimmy Carter's comments about race and President Barack Obama, Limbaugh let loose. Here's the video:
While we're on the subjecy of name calling, here's the video of Obama calling Kanye West a "jackass." And, remember, as the president says, cut him some slack.
A Reuters report, meanwhile, says a new round for funding means that Twitter may be worth $1 billion. So, if Twitter went to 280 characters, it would be worth $2 billion?
Elsewhere, with the death of Mary Travers of the trio Peter, Paul and Mary, lots of people have wondered if this summer was the summer of celebrity deaths. Not so, according to the Associated Press. But certainly the quality of celebrities who died was notable.
But that's dreary to contemplate. So, let's have a little fun. Here is a nice compendium of movies that have surprise endings and twists. Good reading for film buffs.

More unmarried women have decided that they aren't waiting to get hitched to have a family, they're moving ahead with having babies on their own.
Through the miracle of modern science you don't have to be married (or even a sexual partner) to have a kid.
Birth rates among single women ages 35-39 years old exploded over a decade. According to the Centers For Disease Control birth rates among this segment increased 48 percent from 2002 to 2012! Although the number of single moms ages 40-44 years old is lower, the birth rate rose 29 percent.

That might seem a like a huge difference, but the actual numbers are a little less shocking. Out of every 1,000 single women 35-39, 31 of them had children on their own in 2012. That's up from 21 women in 2002. Ten people in a decade is about one additional person per year (on average), but statistic make it look like a way bigger deal than it actually is.
According to U.S. News and World Report, though, the birthrate for single women overall took a 2 percent dip last year.

Researchers noticed the first signs of a decrease in the starting in 2007. "It's still high compared with previous generations, but there has been a decline," an author of the study published by the magazine said.
The Wall Street Journal reports that that's not the only segment of single women having fewer babies out of wedlock. The number of girls 15-17 having babies dropped from 21 to 15 between 2002 and 2012.

Oktibbeha County voters will head to the polls today for a runoff election to choose a third judge for the 16th Circuit Court District.
On the ballot today is the runoff for the Place 3 Circuit Court judgeship between West Point attorneys Lee Coleman and Nebra Porter. Coleman and Porter were the top two vote-getters in the Nov. 2 general election, but neither won a majority of the votes to win the judgeŌĆÖs position outright, forcing todayŌĆÖs runoff.
The Place 3 judgeship is a new judgeŌĆÖs position created by the Mississippi Legislature in 2005. Voters in all precincts in Oktibbeha County can vote today as long as they were registered for the Nov. 2 general election.
The Courthouse Annex was bustling with activity Monday as Election Commission members worked with Circuit Clerk Angie McGinnis and her staff to wrap up final preparations for todayŌĆÖs runoff election.
McGinnis is predicting a low voter turnout in Oktibbeha County for the election ŌĆö roughly 25 percent of the turnout for the Nov. 2 general election. About 46 percent of the countyŌĆÖs 24,792 registered voters went to the polls Nov. 2.
If McGinnisŌĆÖ prediction holds true, around 2,750 registered voters will head to the polls for todayŌĆÖs runoff.
ŌĆ£Of course, we hope to see even more than that. We want everyone to exercise their right to vote,ŌĆØ McGinnis said.
What voters should know
McGinnis and Oktibbeha County Election Commission members say voters need to know several pieces of information before going to the polls on Tuesday, including the following:
ŌĆó Because this is a not a primary election, voters will not have to declare a party affiliation when they go to the polls to vote.
Upon entering the polling place, voters will go to the table where poll workers will be waiting for them to sign the poll book and give them the appropriate ballot card for the touch-screen voting machine.
ŌĆó Sample ballots will be posted at the polling places.
ŌĆó Polling places open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
ŌĆó If candidates plan to have poll watchers stationed at the polling places to watch voting, they must submit the appropriate forms to the Circuit ClerkŌĆÖs Office naming the poll watchers before the poll watchers go to the polling place.
ŌĆó No political campaign materials are allowed to be worn, carried or distributed within 150 feet of any polling place, according to state law. Candidates who violate this regulation are subject to being fined.
Bailiffs stationed at each polling place will enforce that regulation, McGinnis said.
ŌĆó Voters are reminded not to loiter in the polling place after casting their ballot, McGinnis said.
ŌĆ£We ask that once they have cast their ballot, they exit the polling place to make room for other voters,ŌĆØ McGinnis said. ŌĆ£This will be very important in some wards where there is traditionally a higher turnout than others.ŌĆØ
ŌĆó If a resident registered to vote by mail and TuesdayŌĆÖs runoff will be the first time they have voted since registering, he or she will be asked to show a valid identification when they arrive at the polling place before being allowed to vote.
This is required under the federal Help America Vote Act.
Valid forms of identification include a current and valid photo ID (i.e. a driverŌĆÖs license), a current utility bill with the voterŌĆÖs name and address, a bank statement with the voterŌĆÖs name and address, a government check with the voterŌĆÖs name and address, a pay check with the voterŌĆÖs name and address or any other government document that shows the voterŌĆÖs name and address.
ŌĆó All ballots will be counted in the large courtroom at the Oktibbeha County Courthouse Annex after the polls close at 7 p.m.
ŌĆó All vote totals released after the initial count Tuesday night are unofficial until the Oktibbeha County Election Commission certifies the results on Wednesday.
The certification process will include the counting of any affidavit ballots that are cast, McGinnis said.
Anyone with questions about the voting process can contact the Circuit ClerkŌĆÖs Office at 323-1356 beginning Monday.
Where to vote: The polling places
Oktibbeha CountyŌĆÖs polling places for todayŌĆÖs general election are listed below. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. A reminder to voters and candidates: No campaign materials may be brought inside or within 150 feet of any polling place under state law.

Downtown theater finally set to open
Cinema faced 'tortured' development process
- Audio slide show: The Riviera - revived again
- A panroma of the inside of the Riviera (will take a while to load)
- A panorama of the inside of a projector room (will take a while to load)
Total project cost: $14.85 million
Funding sources:
- $4 million in city funds
- $2.5 million in furniture, fixtures and equipment from Regal
- $4.25 million in bonds
- $2 million tax credit
- $1.1 million state grant for outdoor escalator, elevator, walkway and lighting
- $1 million tax-increment-financing subsidy
Source: City of Knoxville
- Eight screens
- Approximately 2,000 seats
- 40,000 square feet
- Largest theater has nearly 400 seats
- 60 employees
- $8.50 adult admission, $7 for students, $6 for kids
- Concession prices same as other Knoxville Regal theaters
- Outdoor escalator and elevator for access between State and Gay streets
- Free parking anytime at the city's State Street, Locust Street and Market Square garages for up to three hours with a ticket stub
Regal Entertainment Group Chairman and CEO Mike Campbell was one of the first naysayers when the concept of the downtown multiplex was broached in 2000 as part of a larger redevelopment plan drafted by consultants Worsham Watkins International. In a March 2001 letter, he noted several risk factors:
- "The success rate of these downtown cinema projects has, in general, been poor, and many cities have had to ultimately subsidize these cinemas."
- "We have also seen the associated feasibility studies that always accompany these types of projects, and it is our opinion that these studies can rationalize virtually anything that is needed."
- "Most successful downtown theaters are either located in the few large cities that have densely populated downtown areas that have residents with a high disposable income or are located in cities that are either underscreened or underserved by old, tired theaters. Knoxville is neither."
- Historically, the industry standard ratio of residents per theater screen in the U.S. is one screen per 10,000 people, Campbell cited. Assuming there are 600,000 residents in the metro Knoxville base, which has 110 movie screens, the local ratio is one screen for every 5,544 people, "clearly creating an overscreened situation today."
- Additionally, Campbell noted that 78 of those screens offer stadium seating and state-of-the-art features. "Customers are not inclined to drive past these convenient, modern theaters to attend similarly appointed theaters in downtown areas."
Source: Mike Campbell's "open letter" to Mayor Victor Ashe, published in the News Sentinel March 8, 2001
City of Knoxville officials have taken every opportunity to emphasize how easy it will be to visit the new Regal Riviera Stadium 8 theater opening this week on Gay Street, in their hope of convincing film fans from outside the downtown core to make the drive.
Parking is free at the State Street Garage, where a fresh ticket stub is the only validation needed. From there, it's just a walk across the street and a quick ride up an outdoor escalator to reach the sidewalk ticket booth on Gay Street.
The path, however, to this week's opening of the multiplex, financed with a mix of private and public money, has been anything but clear-cut. Architectural designs, redesigns and surging construction prices have kept its budget and the opening date too fast-changing to hang on a marquee.
"I was always fairly confident we were going to pull it off," said Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, who committed to building the theater as one of his first initiatives after taking office in 2003 and put some of his own money into the project.
In hindsight, though, the mayor describes the process as "tortured."
When he wasn't trying to woo skeptical partners or investors, Haslam was weathering escalating construction costs brought on by a hurricane.
All told, the project's budget grew from an estimated $9 million initially to what's now a $14.85 million final price tag. The spring 2006 opening date was pushed back to November 2006, before being delayed again. Grand opening festivities now are set for Monday.
"It was a cascading row of challenges," Haslam said.
The idea for a movie theater as a catalyst for downtown growth was first envisioned as part of a larger redevelopment plan drafted in 2000 under former Mayor Victor Ashe. And while Haslam quickly embraced the concept, other would-be partners needed more convincing.
First among them was Mike Campbell, chairman and CEO of the world's largest motion-picture exhibitor, Knoxville-based Regal Entertainment Group.
He cited a weak track record for theaters in other downtown markets and argued that Knoxville had too few downtown residents and too many screens in other areas to make the project work.
"This concept of a large downtown multiplex in Knoxville is a risk financially for both the city as well as private development," Campbell wrote in a March 2001 letter to the editor in the News Sentinel. "Hopefully, the decision makers will ultimately make the right choice."
Those same risks still exist today, he said. But Campbell's come-around confidence is buttressed by downtown's growing popularity and a financing plan that, he says, "fairly spreads the risk between public and private."
Under a uniquely direct partnership within the industry, the city owns the 40,000-square-foot movie house in the 500 block of Gay Street, which it will lease to Regal at a varying rate based on a percentage of gross operating revenues.
The city has invested $4 million in its construction, while Regal has put in the $2.5 million worth of equipment and furniture. The balance is bridged with $4.25 million from third-party private bond investors, who have fronted the bulk of the capital costs, as well as a complex formula of tax credits, tax subsidies and state grant funds engineered by Haslam and the city's former finance director, Chris Kinney.
"Bill has done a great job in figuring out a way to make this work," Campbell said. "We don't have to do the type of business we have to do at, say, a (Regal Pinnacle 18 at Turkey Creek) to break even. It's considerably less on a per-screen basis."
According to legal documents associated with the sale of the bonds, Regal estimates $1.89 million in gross sales in 2008, the first full year of business. The projections top $2.07 million by 2017.
Regal's initial 15-year lease will pay the city 17 percent of gross revenues from the operation. From that cut, the city must repay its investors and cover any major capital upgrades or repairs to the property. After the bondholders are repaid, the rent drops to 12 percent of sales, according to the bond documents.
The property itself, rather than city funds, serves as collateral for the bond investors, including Haslam, who stand to make a 5 percent tax-free annual return on the 40-year notes.
The number and names of the other investors were not available. Regions Bank maintains the register.
"The key for me was for the city to not have any operating-loss exposure or any debt exposure," Haslam said. "Down the road, hopefully it can become a real revenue generator for the city once the bonds are paid off."
That formula leaves the third-party investors — who have a minimum of $100,000 each sunk into the project — at the greatest risk, the mayor said. Should the business go belly up, they'll be left owning the theater.
"Their risk is they'll own a single-use building," Haslam said. "It was built to be a movie theater. That's a hard conversion."
The mayor, who pledged early on to personally recruit the bondholders, called it a reasonable (and tax-free) investment, although he still had to tailor his sales pitch to appeal to a certain sense of civic mindedness.
"That's an investment where you could do better," Haslam said.
Funding aside, there also was the challenge of making the whole thing fit.
Historic preservationists and public sentiment were set against any plan that would demolish the former S&W Cafeteria, Athletic House and WROL Building immediately adjacent to the site.
Public brainstorming sessions stacked the eight planned movie screens between two levels at one point, and later moved the entire complex across Gay Street to Krutch Park and then back again in a search for solutions before the project ever broke ground. Wrangling a workable plan pushed construction back by three months.
The final design saved the 500 block's historic facades in a layout that belies the facility's size from the front door while pushing most of the new construction back toward State Street, not unlike the Tennessee Theatre nearby.
"In the intervening time, (Hurricane) Katrina hit," Haslam said. "We hadn't turned a bucket of dirt yet and (the cost of) all your building materials went up."
Much like the theater's squeeze amid the historic storefronts, the city's and Regal's budget caps left little wiggle room for the project's ballooning costs.
More reliance on bond investors made up some of the difference, while the city also explored the possible benefits of federal new-market tax credits, which are available to projects in designated low-income areas.
"That ended up costing us an additional six months," said the mayor.
The theater's ultimate benefit won't be measured in dollars as much as it will be in feet, as in those walking up and down Gay Street.
"That's the city's real end game," Campbell said. "The direct return on rent is just the tip of the iceberg."
So far, North Carolina-based Mast General Store, which opened at 402 Gay St. last year, is the only major retailer yet to bank on the multiplex's potential to lure more people and their pocketbooks downtown.
"It's hard to get a home run like Mast," said Haslam, who's continuing to lobby prospective business tenants to the area, although nothing definite has been announced.
"It's challenging to find someone big enough to be a real draw, and someone who's unique. The hope is that you reach a tipping point, and the theater helps get us there," Haslam said.
Yet downtown already is a different place than it was when Haslam took office four years ago, he said. Whether it's the Sundown in the City concert series and the twice-a-week Farmers' Market on Market Square, or live shows at the renovated historic Tennessee and Bijou theaters, "people have figured out downtown's easy and fun."
Still, downtown's residential population is barely large enough to fill the Riviera's 2,000 seats. While its location offers a new option for the classic night out of dinner and a movie, skepticism among potential customers' comments hinges mostly on the convenience of parking and the mix of movies.
"My first choice is to attend movies at (Regal's) Downtown West independent films and many will not play anywhere else," wrote Old North Knoxville resident Ernie Roberts in an e-mail response to a News Sentinel online survey. "I live near downtown and want to help make things successful in trying to revitalize the area. My biggest concern is (that) parking will be simple, free and not scare people away."
If early predictions hold true, though, the site should be popular with center-city residents in North and South Knoxville, as well as University of Tennessee students, all of whom are much closer to downtown than suburban screens.
"Obviously, the first base of customers will be the people who live and work downtown," said Campbell. "I think just the draw of downtown will determine where other people come from."
Haslam again noted the popularity of the weekly Sundown concerts, which routinely drew more than 10,000 people apiece earlier this year.
"And they all find a place to park," he said, reminding residents that all on-street parking and city-owned garages are free on nights and weekends.
As for the mix of movies, Campbell said Regal's first year or so downtown should be a learning curve.
The official grand opening Friday is expected to offer three new releases — the thriller "Death Sentence," the Rob Zombie remake of "Halloween" and the ping-pong comedy "Balls of Fury."
A mix of recently released features should round out the lineup.
"Anytime you open a new theater, you have to experiment," Campbell said. "Initially, we'll have a good cross-section. Usually within the first year, we'll get a good idea of who our customer base is."

Great toy
Reviewed: 16 April 2015 by Natalyaaa, a Straight Engaged Female
As with all the toys I've purchased from Lovehoney, this toy comes in simple packaging without any tacky or overly sexual imagery, which is nice. The toy itself is a pretty purple colour, making it perfect for those who aren't too fond of the flesh coloured dildos.
This toy is definitely very girthy, more so than I expected when first purchasing it, so if you're not used to a lot of girth, there may be a little difficulty and you might need to 'warm up' with a smaller dildo to begin with. However, my boyfriend is pretty big anyway, so with a little extra lube it fitted right in.
There is a range of speed settings and different patterns, which is great as it allows you to vary the setting as you get closer to orgasm. Each speed setting is pretty powerful.
I think this toy is better for use with a partner as I find it is easy to accidentally hit the button at the base, which can be very frustrating when you're about to climax! On the few occasions I've used this toy with my boyfriend during sex, this hasn't been an issue, however.
I like how the curved shaft produces great G-spot stimulation. I find that this definitely contributes to a very quick and powerful orgasm.
This toy is pretty quiet considering how powerful it can be, especially when you use the fastest speed setting. Obviously, there is a motor in there, so it's not going to be silent, but if you use it under a duvet with the TV turned up and the door closed, the noise really shouldn't be much of an issue.
Cleaning the toy is easy as it is waterproof. I just wash it in warm soapy water when I'm done. I've also used it in the bath several times and it's still going strong, so the waterproof claims are 100% accurate.
Overall, this girthy toy will definitely produce intense orgasms. However, if you're not used so something so big, it might be a little painful at first, so I'd recommend starting off with a smaller toy and then moving on to this.
- Pros
- The girth, waterproof, power.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- I love this toy so much.

Bought this as a joke for my wife and is now a very very firm favourite!
Excellent delivery from Lovehoney in a discreet box.
Opening it up, was taken by surprise by the size of it. It's huge. Didn't think my wife would be too happy. How wrong was I. She loved it.
After a warm-up session of clitoral stimulation, the toy slipped in very easily and had my wife in ecstasy within seconds.
Really enjoying the fullness feeling. The buttons on the bottom of the vibe can be a bit fidly, but only a slight hindrance.
Top top quality product/. Well built, does everything it says it does, and if you like thickness this is most definitely the right toy for you. Enjoy!
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Not much to dislike.
- Bottom line
- Excellent toy, worth every penny, and so much fun.

Wow! Very impressive looking, and the OH loves it!! Bought as a treat, certainly scored there.
When used with some oral got a massive O from her. Lovely texture and girth, just what I/she wanted.
It doesn't need so many vibe settings as you have to cycle through them to get the one you want if I press the button by accident.
Great vibe and not too noisy. Highly recommended!
- Pros
- Great size.
- Cons
- Nothing, really, doesn't need all the different vibe settings?

For this one, I'll keep the description brief and let the pictures do the talking. I absolutely love the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. It signifies that Spring is finally in the air, and the biggest attraction for me is the Butterfly House. I spent probably a half an hour in there and I'm still smelling the sweet flowers. There was this yellow & black one that was the most beautiful out of all of them. If there appears to be any duplicates of them, it is because these beauties were moving around so much, I had to use the burst feature on my Galaxy S3 phone. I got some good work out of that phone, it took some AMAZING pictures! As for the topiaries, I got as many as I could, but I didn't get Lightning McQueen or Mater in the Radiator Springs area because it was too busy. And my apologies that I didn't get enough flowers this time around. I will try to get more the next time.
It was an easy pace day for me, a contrast cause I'm usually moving fast from point A to point B. I hit Soarin first because the crowds get large for that pretty early, and Fast Pass runs out quickly. It was a first for me here because being from Southern California, I've only been on the one at the DLR. Its basically the same on both coasts. But now I can't hear "Patrick, the chief Flight Attendant" without picturing Joe from Family Guy. (Darn you Seth MacFarlane! You ruin everything!) Test Track, Journey Into Imagination, O'Canada, American Adventure, and Ellen's Energy were on the agenda today. Mainly cause either I haven't done them in a while, or in the case of Energy, I haven't been on that since being reformatted. Like Journey, I miss the original. But I won't be doing that again, its 45 minutes wasted. Just my opinion. For a quick rant, on American Adventure, they NEED to remove Lance Armstrong from the part of the film where they're celebrating American Heroes. Because an American hero he is NOT!! Also just another opinion of mine.
Anyways, on to the pictures:

Will the UAW organize Chattanooga's Volkswagen plant or will President Obama organize it for them?

So, if the Obama administration really cared about clean air, why would it disadvantage nuclear power? That's what I asked Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy this week. For more jobs and a bright energy future in our country, we need the reliable, clean, cheap energy we get from nuclear power, and lots of it – not unreliable power that... [Read the full story]

The NLRB's views on employers' workplace rules
May 31, 2015 · Leave a Comment
On March 18, 2015, the NLRB'S general counsel (GC), Richard Griffin, issued a 30-page report that attempts to reduce some of the mass confusion over the NLRB's policies concerning employer policies. The GC acknowledges most employers do not draft their policies with the object of restricting conduct protected by the labor law, but states that the law does not allow even well-intentioned rules that would inhibit employees from engaging in "protected activities." A rule is certainly unlawful if it facially prohibits protected activity. And a rule banning union activity would be such a... [Read the full story]

May is always such a busy month in the news, and this year was no exception. Let's look at the best news — the graduation of hard working students from high schools and colleges. Many of them are now ready to enter the workforce, and I hope they are prepared for what will be required of them. Some of today's college graduates are more prepared than ever to enter the fields they have chosen, thanks to technology and higher standards being set by colleges and universities. Employers are hiring new grads that have the skill sets they are looking for to help their businesses continue... [Read the full story]

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors are fabricated using sputtered HfO2 with Ta and TaN for top and bottom electrodes, respectively. High-capacitance densities from 4.7 to 8.1 fF/μm2 have been achieved while maintaining the leakage current densities around 1 × 10/sup -8/ A/cm2 within the normal circuit bias conditions. A guideline for the insulator thickness and its dielectric constant has been obtained by analyzing the tradeoff between the linearity coefficient and the capacitance density.
