The Magnetic Field

The compressibility and collisional effects on thermal instability of a composite medium are considered. The effect of compressibility is found to be stabilizing. In contrast to the nonoscillatory modes for (Cp/g) ß > 1 in the absence of a magnetic field, Cp, ß and g being the specific heat at constant pressure, a uniform adverse temperature gradient and the acceleration due to gravity respectively, the presence of a magnetic field introduces oscillatory modes in the system. The sufficient condition for non-existence of overstability is found. The magnetic field is found to have a stabilizing effect on the system for (Cp/g) ß > 1.

Buried Layers

Contact is typically made to source/drain regions of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) by use of TiSi2 or CoSi2 layers followed by AI(Cu) metal lines. A silicide layer is used to reduce contact resistance. TiSi2 or CoSi2 are chosen for the contact layer because these silicides have low resistivities (~12-15 μΩ-cm for TiSi2 in the C54 phase, and ~10-15 μΩ-cm for CoSi2). CoSi2 has other desirable properties, such as being thermally stable up to >1000°C for surface layers and >1100°C for buried layers, and having a small lattice mismatch with silicon, -1.2% at room temperature. During CoSi2 growth, Co is the diffusing species. Electrode shorts and voids which can arise if Si is the diffusing species are therefore avoided. However, problems can arise due to silicide-Si interface roughness (leading to nonuniformity in film resistance) and thermal instability of the resistance upon further high temperature annealing. These problems can be avoided if the CoSi2 can be grown epitaxially on silicon.

Quantitative Linguistics

Contemporary depth psychology is under constant pressure to demonstrate and strengthen its evidence base. In this paper, I show how the analysis of large corpora can contribute to this goal of developing and testing depth-psychological theory. To provide a basis for evaluating statements about foot and shoe fetishism, I analyse the thirty-six most frequent three-word phrases (or trigrams) in a corpus of about 1.6 million words of amateur fetish stories written in the German language. Zipfian methods from quantitative linguistics are used to specify the number of phrases for analysis and I argue that these reflect the core themes of the corpus. The analysis reveals three main dimensions. First, it corroborates the observations of the early sexologists that foot and shoe fetishism is very closely intertwined with sadomasochism. Secondly, it shows that genitalia-related phrases are also common, but an examination of their contexts questions Freud's theory that fetishism results from an assumption of female castration. Thirdly, it reveals that the mouth also plays a key role; however, the frequent co-presence of genitalia references in the same texts does not seem to support straightforwardly the most common alternative theory of fetishism based on object relations. Future research could valuably extend this approach to other fetishes and, in due course, to other depth-psychological constructs.
