For the past four decades, geometric scaling of silicon CMOS transistors has enabled not only an exponential increase in circuit integration density - Moore's Law - but also a corresponding enhancement in the transistor performance. Simple MOSFET geometric scaling has driven the industry to date. However, as the transistor gate lengths drop below 35nm and the gate oxide thickness is reduced to 1nm, physical limitations such as off-state leakage current and power density make geometric scaling an increasingly challenging task. In order to continue CMOS device scaling, innovations in device structures and materials are required and the industry needs a new scaling vector. Starting at the 90 and 65nm technology generation, strained silicon has emerged as one such innovation. Other device structures such as multigate FETs may be introduced to meet the scaling challenge. This book shares results and physical models related to MOSFETs and to discuss innovative approaches necessary to continue the transistor scaling. Expanded versions of presentations in the areas of technology development are featured

Our public school systems must be transformed in order to help every child achieve his or her potential. However, transformational leadership can be intense, complex, and often chaotic, producing storms of resistance, controversy, and pressure. To survive such storms, author Scott Thompson contends that educators must learn to lead with peace and clarity. In this book, Thompson aims to make new connections within the education reform movement, unleash new energies among leaders, and open new perspectives. Through research and in-depth interviews with seventeen educational leaders, the author explores new developments in the area of spiritual leadership for the systemic improvement of public schools. Topics of discussion include:·Core values ·Moral purpose ·Building shared trust ·Ownership, and ·Vision These and other dimensions of spiritual leadership are given grounding with practical examples and tangible results.For superintendents, central office directors, school board members, principals, teacher leaders, and those who facilitate or provide technical assistance on systemic educational improvement.

This is a book dealing with the big questions about development:· What is development?· Can Third World countries ever hope to 'catch up'?· Can a development path be found that avoids indefinite impoverishment on the one hand, and environmental destruction on the other?· What is the relationship, if any, between economic growth and political development?· Can a country that has failed hitherto create for itself a second chance?In their wide-ranging and insightful exploration, the authors take as their main examples two contrasting countries: Ghana, the first African colony to win independence, but which plunged into a downward spiral of economic decay; and Thailand, which was poorer than West Africa in the 1950s, but which went on to achieve decades of extraordinarily rapid economic growth, albeit at considerable environmental and human cost.Intensely readable, this thought-provoking and courageous book brings the big questions about development to a wide audience of college students and interested readers.

In this critical study of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Scott Thompson and Gary Genosko expose the stakes and consequences of the enormous bureaucracy behind the administrative surveillance of alcohol consumption in Ontario. Since its inception in 1927, the LCBO subjected alcohol consumption to its disciplinary gaze and generated knowledge about the drinking population. This book details how the LCBO tracked all alcohol consumption and capitalized on technological advances in order to generate categories and profiles of individuals so they could “control” drinking in the province. While this is a historical project, it also investigates how categorical treatment of populations like First Nations helped to develop and foster stereo-types around addiction that persist to this day.
