This document describes the implementation of a temperature-based phase change memory (PCM) model using Verilog-A. It provides background on PCM and Verilog-A, describes an ideal PCM model with two resistance states, and discusses developing a temperature-based model that more accurately captures PCM behavior by incorporating temperature effects. The goal is to simulate PCM performance more realistically for applications like memory design.
This document discusses making formal verification more mainstream by:
1) Developing engines that can handle real designs with features like multiple clock domains and tristate signals.
2) Analyzing designs at higher levels of abstraction to reduce complexity and allow static analysis to scale.
3) Integrating formal techniques seamlessly into existing design flows without disrupting the normal design process.

Reverse Osmosis module design and engineering emerged with membrane technology
evolution. In order to understand module design, first membrane configuration needs to be
explored, since the module design is always tailored according to the membrane
characteristics. There is a significant difference between membrane chemistries (most
important ones being cellulose acetate and thin film composite with polyamide barrier
layer), and more importantly, between the different membrane configurations (hollow fine
fiber and flat sheet). Therefore, before looking into detail on the module configuration, the
membrane development needs to be considered.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

increases, the other membrane vary with changing pressure
and these test gives us an indication of where the operating
parameters should be:

17. Pilot Plant Trials
Test location 1 – Paper machine
▪ PM test conclusions
– Three different white water qualities were tested
• Rich Clear-, Clear,- and Super Clear filtrate
– The ceramic tubular membrane plugged quickly.
– The HF operated well, but needed very good pre-filtration.
– All the three water qualities gave high fouling of the UF
Tubular membrane but it operated the best out of all the
options
• We learned that too high circulation flow (cross flow
velocity) generated too much foam in the system.
– The VCF could at most be 4 for the NF stage.
– Only two runs performed with the RO due to problems
with the UF stage which did not operate long enough.
– Operation summary:
• UF Tubular (VCF=2, TMP Control) – 3 days
• NF Osmonics (VCF=4, TMP Control) – 2 days
• RO Hydranautics (VCF=5, TMP Control) – 2 days

Test location 2 – Recycled Paper Furnish
▪ RCF test conclusions
– Too high circulation flow generates too much foam in the
system and was not sustainable for the ceramic and tubular
membrane.
– Backwashing on the UF Tubular membrane improved the
operating time drastically, from only 1 day to 7 days.
– The MF HF operated for 10-13 days, with backwashing.
– The NF operation is around 5 days when the upstream pre-
filtration is a UF. The NF was the bottle neck in this location.
– The RO operated relatively well in this position (VCF=3).
– Operation summary:
• UF Tubular (VCF=5, TMP Control) – 7 days
• NF Osmonics (VCF=4, TMP Control) – 5 days
• RO Hydranautics (VCF=3, TMP Control) – 8 days

Test location 3 – MF/UF conclusions
▪ The Tubular membrane was selected due to its operation
duration of up to 14 days and the need for less pre-filtration
▪ The Hollow Fibre (Tube) operated for a similar time to the
Tubular polymeric membrane, but it needs better pre-
filtration and backwashing water and makes the
arrangement more complex.
▪ The specific energy consumption is quite different. The
Tubular membrane uses half of the energy used for the
Hollow Fibre. The main difference is that the HF uses the
energy for pressure.
▪ It should be noted that the Tubular membrane has a lower
cut-off (30 kD) which is much denser than the Hollow Fibre
membrane of 200 kD
▪ One negative issue with the Tubular membrane installation
compared to the Hollow Fibre, is that it uses more space,
but this will not be an issue for Albury.

Test location 3 – Nanofiltration conclusions
▪ In general, most of the NF membranes trialled are
quite similar in respect to concentration levels, while
the flow differs
▪ When selecting membranes based on best permeate
quality, the Osmonics DK membrane performed the
best
▪ When selecting based on best permeate flux
performance, the Filmtec 270 membranes performed
best
▪ The ESNA1 had a relative high flux and a good removal
efficiency, so it is placed between the Osmonics DK and
Filmtec 270
▪ The KOCH SR2 membrane looked promising, but it
looks as if the performance deteriorated during the
trials due to membrane degradation
▪ We selected the Filmtec 270 for pre-filtration before
the RO stage during our longevity tests.

Test location 3 – Reverse Osmosis conclusions
▪ Using BWRO versus SWRO reduced the energy
consumption by 25% at the same flux.
▪ The BWRO removal efficiency was slightly better than
the SWRO.
▪ The KOCH XR4 membrane degraded during our tests.
▪ There does not seem to be much variation between the
RO membranes as between the NF and UF membranes.

Overall operating conclusions
▪ Operating the pilot plant ourselves has given us the
information we find relevant for this study
▪ UF Tubular membrane was chosen because of its
robustness
▪ For our chosen Tubular polymeric membrane, a simple
pre-filtration technique such as sand filters or a bow-
screen will be good enough
▪ We need to operate in TMP control on the UF and NF, but
Flux control was best on the RO.
▪ We need to adjust the pH for both the NF and RO to
control the scaling issues
▪ SAR could not be improved much by using NF
membranes
