Highlights . . .
Rapid changes in science and technology, coupled with deferred renovation to S&E facilities in the 1980s and 1990s, have raised concerns about the quality of S&E research space. The previous chapter revealed a decline in spending to construct S&E research space between fiscal years 1992-1993 and 1994-1995. Here, we examine the extent to which research-performing colleges and universities were engaged in the repair/renovation of S&E research space (and the fields in which this activity occurred).
The Survey Questions
Institutions were asked to estimate the research-related costs and space for repair/renovation projects begun during fiscal years 1994-1995, and to make the same estimates for projects scheduled to begin in fiscal years 1996-1997. The project start-up time was defined as the fiscal year in which actual work began (or was expected to begin). In the case of projects conducted over many years, total project costs were allocated to the fiscal year in which the repair/renovation began.
The reported costs, defined as the cost to complete a project, included planning, site preparation, fixed equipment, non-fixed equipment costing $1 million or more, and building infrastructure. Projects over $100,000 and under $100,000 were reported separately. If a project was to serve both research and nonresearch purposes, repair/renovation costs and space estimates were to be prorated to reflect the research-related portion of the cost (see Items 4a and 4b in Appendix C).
Data Considerations
Data reflect the extent of repair/renovation activity underway in fiscal years 1994-1995. Tables that report expenditures or costs over time are presented in constant dollars; current dollar tables are found in Appendix F. Constant dollars are inflation-adjusted dollars and compensate for variations in the purchasing power of the dollar over time.
The specific deflator used in this report is the Bureau of the Census Composite Fixed-Weighted Price Index for Construction, which more closely tracks inflation within the construction industry than does a more general index. The fixed-weighted price index reflects changes in prices and remains unaffected by changes in the mix of construction projects during any given year. (See Appendix A, "Technical Notes," for further discussion of the price index.)
The 1994 report presented trends in 1993 constant dollars (the first time constant dollars were used in any of the biennial NSF facilities reports). Here, we adjust dollar figures to 1995 constant dollars, meaning that constant dollar figures in the 1994 and 1996 reports cannot be compared directly.
Expenditures for repair/renovation projects costing over $100,000 increased between fiscal years 1992-1993 and 1994-1995. In fiscal years 1992-1993, all research-performing institutions spent a total of $905 million. In fiscal years 1994-1995, they spent $1.1 billion, an increase of 17 percent. Spending at doctorate-granting institutions increased from $868 million to $981 million. At nondoctorate-granting institutions, spending more than doubled, from $37 million to $77 million (Table 4-1 and Figure 4-1).
While expenditures for repair/renovation costing over $100,000 increased between fiscal years 1992-1993 and 1994-1995, expenditures for S&E research facility repair/renovation projects costing less than $100,000 decreased during this same period (Table 4-2). Total expenditures for repair/renovation projects costing less than $100,000 decreased by 48 percent between fiscal years 1992-1993 and 1994-1995 (from $261 million to $135 million). The sharpest decline occurred at the top 100 doctorate-granting institutions (a decrease of 47 percent, from $194 million in fiscal years 1992-1993, to $102 million in fiscal years 1994-1995).
It is possible that this decline may be attributed to a general rise
in the cost of repairing S&E research space over time, making it increasingly
difficult for colleges and universities to repair S&E research space
for less than $100,000.
Since the 1990-1991 fiscal years, spending to repair/renovate existing
S&E research space has increased faster than spending to construct
space [1]. In the 1990-1991 period, total repair/renovation costs--both under
and over $100,000--represented 25 percent of all capital project spending,
both on construction and repair/renovation. During the next two fiscal
years, expenses to repair/renovate existing S&E research space represented
28 percent of total capital project spending. In the most recent time period
(1994-1995), institutions spent a total of $1.2 billion to repair or renovate
research space, accounting for 30 percent of total capital project funding,
or $3.9 billion (Table 4-3).
Repair/renovation expenditures as a proportion of total capital project spending increased the most in other doctorate-granting institutions between the 1992-1993 and 1994-1995 fiscal years (from 23 percent to 37 percent). In nondoctorate-granting institutions, repair/renovation expenditures, while increasing from $73 million in 1992-1993 to $83 million in 1994-1995, declined as a proportion of total capital project spending (from 42 percent to 20 percent)--a decline that can be attributed to the large increase in construction expenditures in nondoctorate-granting institutions noted in Chapter 3.
Institutions spent more to repair and renovate S&E research space in the medical sciences in medical schools--$226 million--than in any other field during fiscal years 1994-1995 (Table 4-4). Repair/renovation expenditures for the two sciences in medical schools combined (biological sciences and medical sciences) represented approximately 31 percent of all such expenditures in fiscal years 1994-1995. Repair/renovation expenditures for both of these fields, however, were lower in both constant dollar terms and as a proportion of total repair/renovation spending in fiscal years 1994-1995, than in fiscal years 1992-1993.
Other S&E fields in which research-performing institutions spent over $100 million include the physical sciences ($192 million), engineering ($150 million), and the biological sciences outside of medical schools ($127 million).
For fiscal years 1996-1997, research-performing institutions were scheduled to spend $1.258 billion to repair/renovate existing research space, and $477 million to repair/renovate the central campus infrastructure. Thus, about 27 percent of the total repair/renovation expenditures scheduled for 1996-1997 would be used to repair the central campus infrastructure. Institutions were scheduled to spend more on central campus infrastructure repairs than construction for central campus infrastructure ($477 million versus $245 million). The scheduled repair/renovation of S&E research space, however, was considerably less than that scheduled for construction ($1.3 billion versus $3.1 billion). See Table 3-4 for scheduled construction expenditures, and Table 4-5, below, for scheduled repair/renovation expenditures.
Repair/renovation expenditures were scheduled to increase over 1994-1995 levels in all types of institutions, in 1996-1997. In the top 100 institutions, the increase would total $134 million (from $755 million to $889 million). Other doctorate-granting universities were scheduled to increase their repair/renovation expenditures by $46 million (from $226 million to $272 million) across these fiscal years, and the nondoctorate-granting institutions indicated an increase of $20 million (from $77 million to $97 million). It has generally been the case, however, that the amount scheduled to repair/renovate existing S&E research space does not always match what is spent.
Forty-five percent of all research-performing colleges and universities
undertook some type of repair/renovation costing over $100,000, during
fiscal years 1994-1995 (Table 4-6). Only 29 percent of all institutions
were involved in construction projects during that same period. (See Table 3-5 in Chapter 3 for a comparison of construction and repair/renovation.)
Similar percentages of institutions undertook repair/renovation projects in fiscal years 1992-1993, and in 1994-1995. In 1992-1993, 46 percent of all research-performing colleges and universities undertook some type of repair/renovation project; during the next two fiscal years, 45 percent were engaged in such projects. Little fluctuation occurred across different types of institutions.
Repair/renovation projects were more likely to have occurred in some
S&E fields than others. Table 4-7 shows that during fiscal years 1994-1995,
repair/renovation projects were most likely to have been started within
medical schools in either the medical sciences (55 percent) or the biological
sciences (46 percent). Research-performing institutions also began repair/renovation
projects in engineering (29 percent), the agricultural sciences (27 percent),
and the physical sciences (23 percent).
[1] Trends are reported from the 1990-1991 fiscal years because this was the first time period for which institutions report repair/renovation expenses both for projects costing over $100,000 and for projects costing less than $100,000.

If I use DeployTask and the application was already deployed from a previous build, I get an error. If I use UndeployTask first and the application is not already deployed (which would happen the first time somebody runs the script on their machine or if there's a failure between calls to UndeployTask and DeployTask), I get an error. I would like the script to be robust enough that it doesn't require the user to do more than install Tomcat (and my distro, natch) on their machine. I thought ListTask useful, here, but I've read through the docs and could not figure out how to capture the output for parsing (so I could check whether this particular application is already deployed).

How much harm Byrne did to these kind of monster stories after his run in She-Hulk. His take on Hulk was hilarious...
This age from Kirby career is one of my favorites. Jack knew how to get over the disappointment of the Sky Masters fiasco (including the lost legal dispute with Jack Schiff) and did a very nice job on those underpaid stories.
I just want to add that after looking through some of Jack's Atlas stories that I'd like to nominate Christopher Rule for the never-ending Best Kirby Inker debate.

Inside Peter Som's Restful Bedroom Escape
Fashion designer Peter Som has a knack for dressing his beds: He's been doing it since he was a little boy. Get a peek at his first foray into home design.
Your parents were architects. As a kid did you get to design your bedroom?
Oh, yeah! Early on I had a blue Marimekko striped bedcover. Then I moved on to zebra Perry Ellis sheets. Later, in my Georgia O'Keeffe phase, I put a vase with tangled willow branches against a bare wall and uplit it to get a shadow.
You still have bare walls.
I'm a little paranoid. I don't want anything hanging above my bed that could fall on me while I sleep. I want a worry-free bedroom, a restful escape.
How is dressing your bed in a print restful?
The subtle colors make it more of a texture than a print. It's from my new collection for Sferra.
Is this your first foray into home design?
Pretty much. Unless you count making pillows out of my fabrics for friends.
Your tables are very cool.
They're 1950s. I found them on 1stdibs.com. It took forever to find tables to fit that narrow space.
Do you read before bed?
Always--a lot of nonfiction. Lately it's all about food. At the moment, I'm reading a book on the history of Coca-Cola.
What about that stack of books on the floor?
My friends tease me about my coffee-table books. I buy a lot of art and photography books, and often the pictures inspire my collections.
Isn't it distracting to have your home office right over your shoulder?
Not at all. It's one of my favorite rooms. I look out the window while I sketch, and I end up seeing all my neighbors. I'm always calling out to them.
Was it a dressing room?
No, it was the kitchen of the studio next door, which I bought and combined with my one-bedroom apartment.
You clearly like Diptyque candles.
That's my chic recycling—I organize my pencils in the jars, by color.
You even kept the labels on.
I liked the crisp black-and-white graphic.
What's your favorite scent?
I have scents for every season. In winter I burn Cèdre and Opopanax. Sometimes I have candles going in five rooms!

Upside Down Waste is an easy yet important Wasting strategy, and can be used to gain many victories. Originally, the term was jokingly used by Need For Madness players, before Need For Madness 2 was released, as "Underwaste", but generally changed to Upside Down Waste or Upside Down KO. The abbrevation for the strategy is "UDKO".
To perform this, simply ram into a car that is at it's most vulnerable position, upside down. Continue to hit it, and if fast enough, the Bad Landing notice will not appear, leaving the car in a defenseless position, It's better if you hit your target into the wall. Combining this with King's Rampage or Juggle can yield enormous amounts of damage even before they can return to normal and continue driving off. Be careful that you will usually glitch through EL KING when he lands upside down.
Note that this will be rare among other Players, as they are skilled enough to not land badly.

Constantly changing hair styles. Good? Bad?
Most Helpful Girl
Actually It's impressive but it causes a lot of problems to your hair skin, plus you don't really need to have the amount of split ends increased.Don't straighten your hair one day and curl them the next day like you probably do.Generally, don't use straighteners/irons on everyday basis.The heat of the straightener/iron damages your hair.Plus you have to be careful and NEVER use chemical creams that change the hair from curly to straight, without asking a dermatologist first.You don't really want to start wearing a wig, do you?Your first priority must be to start taking care of your hair because you will regret it if you don't.21|10|0

I have a real issue that's been bugging me for a few days. My boyfriend of 6 months broke up with me last Tuesday, stating that he thought the spark between us was gone, and that he felt like he was wasting my time. But we had discussed it like adults, and decided that it would be best if we broke up at the end of the school year and just left it at that. There's still 2 months left. I go to a boarding school, so there's not much here for people to do but gossip. The reason I bring this up is because practically right after he broke up with me, I started hanging out more with my friend Michael. He asked me to JSB (Which is a big deal at my school) the other day, and I've been told he likes me. I like him too, but I don't want to set off the rumor mill if anything happens. If he actually asks me out, should I say yes and just go with it for the next two months? Or say no and avoid harassment by my peers? Help anyone?
Should I go out with him or not?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
It sounds to me as thought lure only staying together for publicity. Sure, you may have agreed for two more months before ending it, though there's no reason why your relationship habits should abide with the school year. I'd recommend that you go with this Michael and enjoy yourself.
So this JSB is like a dance? I'd recommend for you to go, even as friends "officially" and move on IF you're really over your current boyfriend. It seems like he may be truly done though what's your opinion on your current relationship if you don't mind bing straightforward at least this one time?00|00|0
If you think that's possible, then tell your boyfriend you're breaking up with him now. Then you're free to pursue anything with Michael, if that comes up.00|00|0

Bacon Cheeseburger Balls
Recipe by Olha7397
You might be fooled into thinking you are eating plain meatballs until you cut them and see a creamy cheese and bacon filling. Make these for everyday and company meals as well as potlucks. Use them to top off spaghetti and fettuccine and sometimes even shape them into patties. Good with garden fresh chives and parsley sprinkled into the beef. Mozzarella and Swiss cheese are good substitutes for the cheddar. Try ground turkey instead of beef.
Top Review by Jen T
These were great and lend themselves to having with either potatoes & vegetables or noodles & a sauce. We had them with a lemon & herb couscous & tossed green salad. I followed the recipe except I only used one egg for dipping in before crumbing. I had no trouble with rolling them. I always wet my hands a little to do this job and have found it always works for me. Thanks for posting such a great recipe....well worth the time in making them. One thing I may try next time is baking them in the oven as I plan to double the recipe for a crowd. I made 36 from this recipe as stated:)

Should my house catch fire, one of the things I would risk my life to save is my dog. It's beyond my understanding how an adorable dog was left abandoned in a house after her owners had sold the house. This happened in California.
This incredible rescue video was put across by Hope for Paws. Upon receiving the news about the abandoned dog, they immediately rushed to the scene. The dog was so terrified and kept warning them to keep distance. She even tried hiding but finally they were able to find her. She was then named Madison and was more than happy to receive the love she has always missed.
When Madison was rescued, she was filthy, matted down and covered in fleas. Madison was then taken to the vet and she is currently healthy and happy.
The best part of this story is that she ended up finding a place to call home; they shower her with love and will never feel lonely again!
This wonderful rescue story deserves a SHARE with those you know on Facebook!

The people who called for more Leon Powe all season (me) are feeling very vindicated today. Besides the points, rebounds, hustle plays, and back breaking dunks, he drew a charge about 3 seconds after entering the game.
Boston breathed a sigh of relief on Peirce's second touch of the game, he upfaked and drove hard to the left, getting to the hoop. Saying it was good to see is an understatement.
Admittedly, the fouls were lopsided, but foul calls generally favor the aggressors and the elite defensive teams. That's Boston and Boston right now.
Kobe said he hoped to get more of the same shots in game 2. He did. He made more of them, and the Lakers still lost.
The comment "Leon Powe looked like Dr. J in the '85 slam dunk contest" by Mark Jackson killed me. Best color comment of the night.
Jeff Van Gundy has no ceiling for his commentary. On some nights he can be the best in the business. Sunday night was not one of those nights.
And Van Gundy is pushing hard for an NBA team to wait around for the finals to finish so they can offer Tom Thibodeau their head coaching job. I know he's your buddy and all Jeff, but I like him just where he is, so if you could cool of that a little, I'd appreciate it.
James Posey was phenomenal on L.A.'s final meaningful play. As Mark Jackson correctly stated, they like to hand the ball off to Kobe on the inbounds. Phil Jackson decided to fake that play, and have a backscreen set for Derek Fisher for hopefully an open 3 on the opposite side. Posey jumped out on Fisher, leaving Gasol with the ball (and confused). Then, when Peirce got his hand on Sasha's shot Posey crashed the boards, came up with the ball, got fouled, and then made two free throws to put the game on ice. Like I said, phenomenal.
If Leon Powe played this well during a game where his story was the halftime feature, I'm hoping ABC tells us the story of Eddie House and his kid for Game 3. ("Eddie couldn't even afford his son a second shirt until the Celtics reached the finals…")
Sam Cassell only played a few minutes last night. He actually passed up two semi-open jumpers to pass the ball to open teammates. I was amazed.
Did anyone see Lamar Odom score in the second quarter to cut the lead to 10, and then scream for no apparent reason? What was that about?
I got a clear look at Sasha's bra strap head band this time.
And I think it's awful.
A lot of people are talking today about how Kobe treats his teammates. If the Celtics win game 3 we might be in for one of those "I'm not shooting for an entire half, see what I'm dealing with" games from Kobe, only this time, I'm not buying it.
And if the Celtics win game 3, it's over. The Lakers need games 3 and 4 to have a chance.
I'm imaging at some point today Bill Walton called his son and said to him, using long adjectives, hyperbole, and many other useless grammatical devices that "I had to cover Kareem my entire career and you couldn't cover Leon Powe?"
It might have sounded something like this: "Never in the history of Western civilization has a Walton been so devastatingly humiliated. In the tumultuous 70s and the excessive 80s I, your father, who crafted you from my own seed, had the impossible task of guarding the overwhelmingly gifted Kareem Abdul Jabaar, the best offensive center in the known universe, the master of the sky hook, and you, you could not cover Leon Powe, who glided past you with grace reminiscent of the Queen Sheba's gazelle. That reminds me, did I tell you about the time I followed the Grateful Dead…"
I don't remember where I heard it first, but I much prefer calling Powe "The Grown Man" as opposed to "The Show".
The series moves to L.A. now as we all know. But with the travel and only one day to regroup, it will be interesting to see if the Lakers can right the ship, or if the Celtics can close things down. Two road wins in the Detroit series, and they were the best road team in the NBA this year after all, they're certainly capable of ending this thing swiftly.

All Their Christmas Lights Turned Red, Now Keep An Eye On The Tree
We're happy that it's Christmas. You don't really need an explanation as to why Christmas is awesome, we all instinctively know this as children. It's only as we get older do we lose sight of the wonder of this time of year.
Ultimately Christmas is about being with family, and being thankful for everything that God has provided for us this year as we remember His best gift to us, Jesus.
Some celebrate with Santa Claus and images of the North Pole, and others of us celebrate with Star Wars. And we respect them for that!
This is definitely one of the best light set ups we've ever seen!
For those in the know, the music takes us through are as follows:
"Star Wars Main Title and the Arrival at Naboo" – Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
"Duel of the Fates" – Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
"Across the Stars (Love Theme)" – Star Wars Episode II – The Phantom Menace
"Battle of the Heroes" – Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Light Saber Fight)
"The Hologram; Binary Sunset" – Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
"Cantina Band" – Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
"Ben Kenobi's Death/TIE Fighter Attack" – Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (TIE Fighter Crash)
"The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" – Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
"Victory Celebration, End Title" – Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Now you may look at this and think, "My goodness, the light bill!" But all lights used are LEDs the creator of this extravaganza said their bill for the month was only $100!
The owner of this fantastic light show goes on to say about his set up,
"I find it funny that people say things like, "what does this have to do with Christmas?" In all reality, what do any of our traditions have to really do with Christmas? There were no lights or even a tree to decorate when Jesus was born. I do this because it brings families together to enjoy something for free while raising thousands of dollars for those who are need. Jesus said, "if you love me, obey my commands." He told us to help those in need – and that's why I do it and that's what I think Christmas is really about."
Wow, could you say it any better?

Last week was our first ever......first week of kindergarten and my first week of teaching. I'm happy to report, WE ARE STILL ALIVE!! I have had two babies, woke up every two hours for feedings, still get woke up every night but never in my life have I been more tired than when I finished my first week of teaching. Was that a for real situation?!?! Walking kids to their car for an hour in 98 degree weather just took the icing right off the cake. Every night I would come home and all but die. My body was here and breathing but my mind was in a land of zzzzzzz's. I felt so bad for the boys because they of course wanted to play but I literally couldn't move. When I would wake up in the morning, my calves felt like I had been to boot camp the night before. I would just pray, please don't let me get a charlie horse in the middle of class. :) All in all though it was a great first week. I had so much support from my co-workers. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with.
Malachi is absolutely loving it kindergarten! He loves his teacher, especially the treasure chest they get to pick from on Fridays. ;) He usually gets him in a good little nap between school and home in the evenings. Wiped out. I'm so thankful that I am able to see him during the day. Even just the little things like when I walked by he was using the teacher pointer and "teaching" the class. He was really just the helper. But I loved that I get to witness these first memories of him in school. (Did I mention before he even started school he asked for a pointer for his birthday??)
Lawson had a great first week in the 3's class. He had a new teacher but seems to be doing ok with her. Nick said he had a great first week too. He's an old pro at this teaching thing so he came home and was an actual living and moving human being. :)
I'm looking forward to a great year and a lot of growing!!!

Guwahati: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni blamed his batsmen for the team's six-wicket loss to Australia in sixth ODI, saying they just did not take up the responsibility.
Electing to bat first, Indians were struggling at 27/5 at the end of ten overs.
Losing five wickets in 10 overs made the difference, he felt. "Well, 27/5 was a bit too much. If we had lost may be one or two wickets it would have been okay because you had the chance of getting back. We have a seventh batsman and Harbhajan and Praveen can contribute to a certain extent.
"It was difficult to come back after that. Even 150 looked tough and we were fortunate to cross the mark," Dhoni admitted.
He came down heavily on the batsmen again and didn't spare the bowlers, too.
I think we are lacking consistency in our batting. We haven't backed the opportunities that we have got. Majority of the batsmen haven't contributed at the same time. In games where our top-order failed to perform, the middle order also didn't bat well.
"I won't blame the bowlers too much as the conditions were favourable for the batsmen. Still they could have done a fraction better."
Ricky Ponting was a happy man. "It's really satisfying when the so-called younger guys really pop their chest and become part of a successful team. Full credit to them."
He admitted that he also may have batted had he won the toss. "I also would have opted to bat this morning...I don't think it was a 27/5 wicket. Our bowlers did a great job. We used the new ball very well. We made the most of whatever was there."

(Editor's note: This is the first in a series of stories about the three outgoing members of the Sherburne County Board.)
by Joni Astrup
Associate editor
In his 12 years as a Sherburne County commissioner, John Riebel said he has worked to help people and look out for the bottom line.
Riebel, of Becker, has wrapped up his service on the county board after being defeated by Tim Dolan in the November election. Dolan, of Elk River, was sworn into office Jan. 3.
As Riebel looks back at his time on the county board, he is pleased with the building projects that were completed, including public safety buildings in Zimmerman, Santiago and Palmer, and a public works building in Becker.
The public works building is a particular source of satisfaction. Riebel served on the committee that oversaw that project and said when the price tag on the building initially came in at $16 million, he successfully pressed to keep the cost at $10 million.
"I just wanted the taxpayers to get the best for their buck," he said.
Riebel said they toured other facilities where they picked up ideas that were incorporated into the new building, and he was pleased with the final result.
He also worked over the years to help his constituents.
Riebel said many people don't really know how government runs, and government doesn't do a good job of getting that information to people.
He tried to remedy that, saying, "There's so many things that a commissioner can do to help people."
'He is basically a very honest person'
Riebel said John Kuester, of Elk River, initially encouraged him to run for the county board.
Kuester, who has served on the Elk River Area School Board, said Riebel has been good at determining exactly what county government can do for people and at watching the budget.
He described Riebel as community-minded and said one of his strongest qualities is he is who he appears to be. "He is basically a very honest person," Kuester said.
Riebel first ran for the Sherburne County Board in 2002, when he was defeated by Roger Nelson. Two years later, Riebel ran again and beat Nelson by 42 votes. He was re-elected in 2008 and 2012.
As one of five members on the county board, Riebel sees being a county commissioner as being part of a team.
"It takes all five of you to do things. You just don't do it yourself. And we did have a good group," he said.
In addition to being a county commissioner, over the years Riebel has been involved in the Sherburne County Fair Board, the Becker American Legion and other organizations. He helped start a free community Christmas Day dinner in Becker and has played Santa Claus.
He said he likes contributing to the community.
Riebel grew up on a farm near what is now Xcel Energy's power plant in Becker. He earned a degree from St. Cloud State University and has owned and operated Becker True Value Hardware since 1993.
He served nine years on the Becker Township Board before becoming a county commissioner, and has been on the county's Planning Advisory Board for decades.
Even with his background in local government, serving on the county board was a new experience.
"It was quite an education being a commissioner," he said. "There's some things you can do, some things you can't do and then there's some things that you've just got to let go."
He added, "It was a lot of hours, but I enjoyed it."

How Does
This Benefit a Website?
Social logins are all the rage these days, and for good reason -- the signup you receive from social logins is up to 30% higher than the standard signup form. The benefit to websites is the ability to have all of your users connect automatically to social media sites to share your content.
Why Should You Learn It?
Social media login integrations are becoming a much more important part of standard practice in web development. If you can't integrate social media logins you're being left in the dust by your competitors who can.
Other Important Social Media Integrations
Google and Facebook are the other most common social media integrations you'll need to know, and we have courses on how to do that as well.

Python ,the pretty Language why can't provide the switch-case statement like other programming languages?? May be there are many dear alternatives for Switch-Case…Python Switch Case Alternative code executes as fast as any other switch case statements..
— Here the Alternatives —
Python provides elif statement by default as alternate of switch-case. if-elif statements are execute at very fast speed as they can use for moderate sized nested conditions. e.g
i = raw_input("Enter choice from 0-3) i = int(i) if i == 0: print "you select 0" elif i==1: print "you select 1" elif i==2: print "you select 2" elif i==3: print "you select 3" else: print "sorry...wrong selection"
Other Alternative for Robust Switch-Case statement is the Programming styled offered by good authors is to store the function names in list ,and then execute the corresponding function by retrieve name from list. e.g
cases = ['zero()','one()','two()','three()']
def zero():
print "method for 0 called..."
def one():
print "method for 1 called..."
def two():
print "method for 2 called..."
def three():
print "method for 3 called..."
i = int(raw_input("Enter choice between 0-3 "))
print "wrong choice"
Above Code will help you in lengthy scripts…..

Randomized Study Assessing the Effect of Transpapillary Pancreas Duct Stent in Resection of the Pancreatic Tail
Resection of the pancreatic tail is fraught with fistula or leakage of pancreatic enzymes to
varying degrees between 13-64%, depending upon which definition one uses. The "downstream"
control of the pancreatic duct with the help of a transpapillary stent might minimize the
risk for leakage over the transected pancreas surface.
Trial evaluation will be A. The pancreatic bed was drained and postoperatively the fluid was
continuously collected and daily analysed for pancreatic amylase and bilirubin. Daily
measurement of pancreatic enzyme content in the drain fluid, at least for 5 post operative
days or as long as the patient retains the drain. X-Amylase and X-Protein as long as the
patient has the external drain.
B. Co-variables measured in the form of: operation time, complications in relation to
diagnosis, duration of hospitalization. Patients receiving a pancreas stent are followed in
order to evaluate the natural course of the pancreas stent.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Drain fluid content analyses
Post-operative daily measurement of X-Amylase,as long as the patient has the external drain and for at least 5 postopertaive days.
At least 5 postoperative days

But, the SEBI on Thursday announced that if the investment by these companies in the assets of the new business is at least 50percent, then they can alter their names. This would mostly benefit those companies which have a long payback period on their investments.

The present invention relates generally to semiconductor metrology. More specifically, it relates to optimization procedures for setting up a metrology tool for optimum performance during a subsequent metrology process.
Generally, the industry of semiconductor manufacturing involves highly complex techniques for fabricating integrating circuits using semiconductor materials which are layered and patterned onto a substrate, such as silicon. Due to the large scale of circuit integration and the decreasing size of semiconductor devices, the device must comply with rigorous specification requirements prior to shipment of the device to the end users or customers.
Typically, particular parameters are measured within special test structures or targets using a metrology tool. By way of example, various targets are designed to measure misalignment or overlay errors between two adjacent layers. The measurement of overlay error between successive patterned layers on a wafer is one of the most critical process control techniques used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits and devices. Overlay accuracy generally pertains to the determination of how accurately a first patterned layer aligns with respect to a second patterned layer disposed above or below it and to the determination of how accurately a first pattern aligns with respect to a second pattern disposed on the same layer. Presently, overlay measurements are performed via test patterns that are printed together with layers of the wafer. The images of these test patterns are captured via an imaging metrology tool and an analysis algorithm is used to calculate the relative displacement of the patterns from the captured images.
The most commonly used overlay target pattern is the "Box-in-Box" target, which includes a pair of concentric squares (or boxes) that are formed on successive layers of the wafer. The overlay error is generally determined by comparing the position of one square relative to another square.
To facilitate discussion,
Prior to making the above described measurements to determine overlay error, the metrology tool needs to be optimized. The tool is optimized by manually adjusting operating parameters (such as focus settings, algorithm selection, etc.) so as to achieve an image having optimum characteristics, such as a best contrast, etc. For instance, if the tool is used to image a particular kernel or region of interest (ROI) of the target (e.g., 16 or 18), an operator typically adjusts an imaging tool until it most closely matches what the operator perceives as an ideal image, such as the idealized image whose gray levels across the kernel in an x direction are shown in
Unfortunately, conventional optimization procedures are rather time consuming since they are performed manually, requiring significant man hours to adequately adjust the tool for various targets. Additionally, when several operators perform optimization on a tool or different tools, performance of such tool(s) is not consistent since different operators will achieve a different optimization result and the same operator may achieve different optimization results a different times for the same tool and target type.
In light of the above, it would be beneficial to implement an optimization procedure so that peak performance is consistently achieved over time for the same tool, as well as different tools. For example, it would be highly desirable to consistently imitate the most experienced application engineer's process for optimization in an automated optimization process.
Apparatus and methods for optimizing a metrology tool, such as an optical or scanning electron microscope, are provided so that minimum human intervention is achievable during the optimization. In general, a set of specifications and an initial input data are initially provided for a particular target. The specifications provide limits for characteristics of images that are to be measured by the metrology tool. The metrology tool is then automatically optimized for measuring the particular target so as to meet one or more of the provided specifications without further significant human intervention with respect to the metrology tool. In one aspect, the input data provided prior to the automated optimization procedure includes a plurality of target locations and a synthetic image of the particular target.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be presented in more detail in the following specification of the invention and the accompanying figures which illustrate by way of example the principles of the invention.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation.
Reference will now be made in detail to a specific embodiment of the invention. An example of this embodiment is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with this specific embodiment, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to one embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process operations have not been described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention include techniques for automatically optimizing a metrology tool, or the like, so as to achieve peak performance as predefined by a particular specification. This automated optimization procedure is performed with minimum human intervention. For instance, an operator merely sets up and initiates the optimization procedure. The automated optimization procedure then works to automatically set up the tool so as to achieve the predefined specifications with minimum or no human intervention. Although the following described techniques are described as being applied towards optical metrology tools, of course, the automated optimization techniques may be applied to scanning electron microscopes, as well as any suitable type of inspection tool.
The predefined specification may include any suitable quantifiable parameters for characterizing an image or signal measured by the tool, such as TMU, TIS, precision, matching, MAM (Move, Acquire, Measure) time, defect count, nuisance count, defect and nuisance ratio, capture rate, accuracy, accuracy of the location of the defect, etc.
During the automatic optimization procedure, the tool's operating parameters are automatically adjusted until the predefined specification is achieved. The adjusted operating parameters may include any suitable tool parameters, such as focus including a rough and a fine z position of the metrology tool, selection of one or more algorithms to apply to the tool's settings, region of interest or working zone sizing and placement, target area sizing and placement, dual aperture device position, camera or detector parameters such as frame rate, filter selection, single-grab/double-grab setting, etc.
The tool's operating parameters may be automatically adjusted to obtain an specified TMU (total measurement uncertainty) or one or more specified parameter that affect TMU. TMU depends on several factors, such as system precision (a characterization of the repeatability of measuring the same target), matching (two systems on line have same results), TIS (tool induced shift). Low TMU is desirable and its specification is typically driven by metrology tool customers or users. The tool's operating parameters may also be automatically and periodically adjusted to minimize tool drift. For example, if a tool tends to drift twice a day, this automatic optimization process is performed twice a day. Additionally, optimization may also include optimizing the tool so as to minimize having different metrology results for different materials.
The wafer map is a list of target locations.
Although the following techniques are described in relation to utilizing a single synthetic target image, of course, multiple synthetic images would typically be used for multiple target optimizations. In general, a synthetic image is a rendition of what a target design data looks like after the design data is used to fabricate structures and then imaged with a metrology tool. The synthetic image may include an image of a target, information on its layer composition, target type, and its dimensions. The target information may be provided separately from the synthetic image. For example, the dimensions may be measured separately by the metrology tool.
The synthetic images and wafer map may be formed by any suitable manner. For example, an expert with knowledge of photolithography and image processes may create a synthetic image from the design database. Alternatively, a software utility may be utilized. For example, the RDM (Recipe Database Management) software product available from KLA-Tencor of San Jose, Calif. generates simulated images based on design data. RDM includes a feature called ARC (Automatic Recipe Creation) for creating a recipe. An operator may also generate a wafer map manually by locating the defects and compiling a list of their defect locations.
Referring back to
In one implementation, the recipe optimization is divided into two stages, a training stage and an illumination optimization stage. In general, the training stage includes optimization of a precision parameter of the obtained image and the illumination optimization stage includes optimization of a tool induced shift (TIS) parameter of the obtained image. Example implementations of these two stages are represented in
Initially, target acquisition occurs based on the synthetic image and the acquired target is focused in operation 502. That is, a target is located based on one of the synthetic target images. The tool can be automatically set to perform image searches based on a selected synthetic image. Alternatively, this step may be based on a real reference image, for example, from another die. However, it may be more practical to use synthetic images for the target acquisition. Focusing of the acquired target may occur in any suitable manner.
The target area and ROI (region of interest) or working zones may then be set and corrected in operation 503. In general, the target area and working zones (or ROI's) define the target area to be imaged and the specific areas that require analysis during the measurement process, respectively. The target area is sized to enclose the entire area of the target as defined in the synthetic target image, as well as a predefined margin area around the target border so as to image the edges of the target structures. In the ROI correction step, an initial set of ROI and working zones may be sized and positioned over the target based on expected target type and dimensions. The target type and dimensions may have been provided, for example, by the tool operator or by different or the same software that generated the synthetic image prior to the training stage. The target dimensions may also be measured from the synthetic image.
The focus may then be optimized in operation 506. For instance, an optimum focus may be automatically found by utilization of a focus device (FD) or any other suitable focusing mechanism such as a photodiode array (PDA). A contrast focus operation is performed and all candidates are saved at 508.
The camera parameters may then be optimized in operation 510. For instance, a frame rate or the number of images that are summed to obtain an image to analyze is set based on a MAM time specification. The MAM time specification generally defines an upper limit on the amount of time required to move to, acquire, and measure a target. Thus, the frame rate may be selected by accounting for the MAM time. For instance, a lower MAM time would mean a faster frame time. In one implementation, a table is populated with MAM time specification values and corresponding frame rates. An appropriate frame rate is then selected based on the provided MAM specification. Alternatively, an algorithm may be used that relates the MAM specification to frame rate. In sum, rules may be set up to specify when to change the camera parameters and/or focus and by how much based on other illumination parameters. For example, if the light transmission is increased, the frame rate and focus are changed by a predefined absolute or percentage amount. These rules may be determined by simulation or experimentation.
At operation 512, a single grab (SG) or double grab (DG) may be set or switched based on precision. The DG option allows one to have a different focus at two different heights with respect to the sample to be imaged, as opposed to a single z position focus setting for a SG setting. The DG setting may be utilized for a sample area that has structures with widely varying heights that would be difficult to image at an SG setting.
Selecting between an SG and a DG setting based on precision may be accomplished in any suitable manner. In one implementation, multiple images are obtained and precision is then measured initially under the SG setting and the current focus setting. In this embodiment, the SG setting was set early in the training stage, e.g., prior or during the target acquisition operation 502. Under some conditions, the image may blur at different heights of the sample causing precision to degrade as measured for the multiple images. If the measured precision is less than a predefined value, then a DG setting is used. When the SG/DG setting is changed, the camera parameters may then be optimized again with the new SG/DG setting. The SG/DG and camera parameter optimization steps may be iteratively performed until optimum results (i.e., a set of predefined specifications) are obtained.
At step 514, the wavelength of the illumination light may be changed based on precision. For example, different structure types or layer compositions may require different filters to achieve an image with an optimum precision characteristic. Said in another way, different filters may distort the image in varying degrees for different layers and/or structure types of the sample. For example, a different filter may be needed for different sets of layers. When the filter setting is switched, any number of tool parameters may require reconfiguration and optimization. For example, after a filter switch, the train process may jump back to the focus optimization step 506. Of course, filter optimization may result in using no filter for one or more layers.
Filter optimization may be implemented in any suitable manner. In a box-in-box overlay target example, multiple images are acquired for each filter. The precision of the inner box and the precision of the outer box may then be measured for each filter. The best set of precision measurements may then be used to determine the best filter for the particular overlay target. For instance, the filter that results in the best average of the inner and outer precision may be selected.
After an SG/DG and filter setting has been fixed and then optimized, an acquisition optimization may then be performed in operation 516. That is, the target is moved with respect to the imaging column to ensure that the target is placed correctly relatively to the field of view of the imaging tool. For example, the target is moved relative to the imaging column until the center of the target matches the center of the field of view. The center of the target may be predefined in the synthetic image, for example, by the designer (e.g., in the layout data) or metrology tool operator.
After the training stage, an illumination optimization stage may also commence.
At operation 602, a dual aperture device (DAD) of the metrology tool may be optimized.
The system 800 may also include a reference objective 814, a second cube 809 and lens 818 for directing light scattered from the sample towards a detector 820 (e.g., a CCD or charged coupled device), and a focus device (FD) 816 which receives a portion of the scattered light from the second cube 809. The system 800 may also include a processor 822 that is operable to implement the automated optimization techniques of the present invention by controlling the components of the system 800 and analyzing measured results obtained from the components of system 800.
The reference objective 814 is typically present in an interference type microscope and may be in the form of a Linnik objective. The Linnik objective is typically arranged to direct the illumination beam towards a minor. The illumination light that is reflected from the mirror interferes with the light scattered from the sample 812 and the resulting interference pattern is directed towards the detector 820. Examples of interference microscopes that utilize such a reference or Linnik objective 814 and methods of use are illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,112,129 to Davidson et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,438,413 to Mazor et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,712,707 to Ausschnitt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,757,507 to Ausschnitt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,805,290 to Ausschnitt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,914,784 to Ausschnitt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,023,338 to Bareket, which patents are all incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein
The DAD is generally moved in a plane that is perpendicular to the transmission axis of the light, e.g., in an x and y direction so as to change the coherency of the light. This movement results in the light hitting a different portion of the objective lens 810. Different portions of the objective lens 810 will yield a different TIS result. One goal is to minimize TIS by finding an optimum x and y position of the DAD. Accordingly, the DAD optimization step 602 may include iteratively moving the DAD position until TIS is minimized. In one implementation, TIS is minimized when the same two measurements are obtained from the image before and after it is rotated 180 degrees. This iterative process may be performed automatically until the best TIS is found or the TIS specification is met. For example, the DAD position is moved until the measured TIS falls below a predefined TIS value or a minimum TIS value is found for a predefined set of DAD positions.
After the DAD is optimized, an alternative best contrast position may be found in operation 604. For instance, the DAD position associated with the best TIS may not correspond to the best contrast value. Accordingly, the contrast is measured for the different DAD positions and the best combination of TIS and contrast is then utilized to select an optimum DAD position.
Next, the SG/DG setting may be changed based on TIS. That is, a SG or DG setting may result in a better TIS or a TIS that meets the specification when a DAD position was not found to result in meeting the TIS specification. When the SG/DG setting is changed, the illumination optimization process may be repeated from the beginning to again optimize the DAD position based on TIS and contrast.
The filter or filters may also be changed to get a more optimum TIS value. After a filter is changed, a minimum training stage process may also be repeated. For example, the focus and camera parameters may be optimized again based on precision. After the TIS specification or the most optimum TIS is achieved by performing one or more steps of
After optimization completes, one may analyze the results of the optimization for a number of applications. For example, if the optimization procedure takes a significant amount of time, the specifications may be relaxed (e.g., the predefined limit is adjusted by 5%) to alleviate the optimization time.
Additionally, after the targets are actually inspected or measured, the results may be analyzed to adjust the optimization procedure and/or alter the specification values. For instance, if a significant amount of targets are out of specification, the tool may be assessed to determine if it has been optimized as much as possible.
The optimization procedure may also be intelligently performed by first simulating how the targets will be imaged with the metrology or inspection tool using an initial set of measurement tool parameters and particular process parameters and then performing the optimization procedure on the simulated targets (e.g., optimizing precision and TIS on the simulated targets). The results of the optimization on the simulated targets may then be analyzed to then determining which optimization steps need to be performed or what range of tool parameters are likely be optimal for the real wafer. For instance, it may be determined that particular optimization steps may be skipped based on metrology or inspection simulations and optimization may occur using only specific predetermined tool parameter ranges. In one implementation, a decision tree is set up to determine which optimization steps to perform based on particular sets of measurement parameters and results obtained from a simulated measurement. In effect, optimization occurs on the simulated wafer prior to loading the wafer into the tool.
The automated optimization embodiments described herein have several associated advantages. For example, automation allows more consistent results for different tools and different wafers since the results are not dependent on one or more human operators. Additionally, automation can result in a tool being optimized in significantly less time than a human operator could achieve.
In a further aspect, part or all of the optimization procedure may be applied to only specified portions of the sample or wafer. For example, particular areas of the wafer may be identified as problem areas that require optimization. Techniques for determining which portions of the design are more susceptible to error are further described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,630, entitled "COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS FOR DETECTING DEFECTS IN RETICLE DESIGN DATA", filed 31 Jan. 2005 by Zain K. Saidin et al, which application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. In another aspect, the targets can be formed from dummy structures or be part of the device structures. The targets can be located any where on the wafer, such as the scribe line or active die region.
In embodiments of the present invention, the metrology (or inspection) tool is optimized for a particular target. This tool optimization may be further enhanced by first optimizing the target for the particular process and tool by utilizing an automated process, such as simulation. By way of background, semiconductor structures, including target structures, are becoming smaller and more complex and, hence, it is increasingly challenging to print and etch a target that is resolvable by a metrology tool. That is, it is becoming increasingly difficult to estimate how each target will look after fabrication and imaging. Additionally, the process window is shrinking so that more restrictions are being placed on target location, pitch, etc.
Conventionally, targets are optimized so as to be resolvable for a particular process and tool by printing and etching multiple targets of varying characteristics on a wafer and then actually using the tool on the fabricated targets to see which are resolvable. The resolvable targets can then be utilized as optimum targets for the particular process and tool. Needless to say, this optimization process requires significant time and must be repeated for each process and target design change.
Accordingly, techniques for automating optimization of a target for a particular process and tool are provided herein. Any suitable techniques for automatically optimizing a target for a particular process and tool may be implemented.
A Metrology Target Designer module 904 is then implemented so as to design a particular target layer. This design step includes operations performed by a human designer and a simulation tool. In the illustrated example, the Designer includes the task of converting the design into a GDSII format in operation 904 a. The GDSII format may be generated by the designer by manually laying out structures in the particular target layer, utilizing cell libraries to form such structures, or implementing a software tool (e.g., Verilog) to convert functional language into a GDSII format. This design is run through a CAD tool for implementing OPC (optical proximity correction) features to avoid design violations in operation 904 b.
The Designer module 904 also includes a process simulation in operation 904 c. The process simulation 904 c generally simulates the particular process for fabricating the particular target layer to thereby generate a simulated target and simulates use of the particular metrology tool on the simulated target to thereby generate a simulated image of the simulated target. The dimensions of the particular target design and particular process parameters, such as layer composition and lithography setup parameters, are received as input by the simulation. Any suitable software for simulating a semiconductor process may be utilized, such as TCAD available from Synopsys of Mountain View, Calif.
After the simulation, it may then be determined whether the simulated image can be resolved by the particular tool in operation 906. For example, it is determined whether the simulated image results have enough contrast and clarity for the particular metrology tool being utilized. If the simulated image is not resolvable, the target design is altered by the Metrology Target Designer 904 and the simulation is repeated for the new target design.
After a resolvable target is found, it may then be printed and processed in operation 908. It may also be determined whether the fabricated target has printed well (e.g., is resolvable) in operation 910. If the target is printed well, another target layer may be designed in operation 912 (e.g., the Metrology Target Designer module 904 is repeated). If the target has not printed well, target optimization design techniques may be utilized in operation 914. For instance, the target may be redesigned by Designer module 904. The procedure 900 may end when each target layer has been optimized for a particular metrology tool.
The automated optimization techniques of the present invention may be implemented in any suitable combination of software and/or hardware system, such as a metrology or inspection system's processor. Regardless of the system's configuration, it may employ one or more memories or memory modules configured to store data, program instructions for the general-purpose metrology operations and/or the inventive techniques described herein. The program instructions may control the operation of an operating system and/or one or more applications, for example. The memory or memories may also be configured to store layout patterns, layout constraint rules and target rules.
Because such information and program instructions may be employed to implement the systems/methods described herein, the present invention relates to machine readable media that include program instructions, state information, etc. for performing various operations described herein. Examples of machine-readable media include, but are not limited to, magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tape; optical media such as CD-ROM disks; magneto-optical media such as floptical disks; and hardware devices that are specially configured to store and perform program instructions, such as read-only memory devices (ROM) and random access memory (RAM). The invention may also be embodied in a carrier wave traveling over an appropriate medium such as airwaves, optical lines, electric lines, etc. Examples of program instructions include both machine code, such as produced by a compiler, and files containing higher level code that may be executed by the computer using an interpreter.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be apparent that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims. Therefore, the described embodiments should be taken as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention should not be limited to the details given herein but should be defined by the following claims and their full scope of equivalents.
