Standard Cell Behavior Analysis and Waveform Set Model for Statistical Static Timing Analysis

As we are moving toward nanometre technology, the variability in the circuit parameters and operating environment (Process, Voltage and Temperature (PVT)) are increasing, causing uncertainty in the circuit performance. Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) is a category of methodologies to analyse the variations in delay due to PVT...

The Dynamic Monte Carlo Method for Transient Analysis of Nuclear Reactors

In this thesis a new method for the analysis of power transients in a nuclear reactor is developed, which is more accurate than the present state-of-the-art methods. Transient analysis is important tool when designing nuclear reactors, since they predict the behaviour of a reactor during changing conditions, such as a control-rod movement,...
