摘要：Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote many mystery and detective stories from 1890s to 1910s, years saw the advancement of powerful modem science and technology, especially inventions of transportation means or machines that accelerate mobility power in late-Victorian and Edwardian society. In some of these mystery or detective stories especially featuring the well-known sleuth Sherlock Holmes, Doyle tended to integrate an early subject＇s experience of shrunken space and reduced time into an unknown fear by delineating his characters who perceive horror and nervousness while facing or riding on a railway transportation, including mainly the steam railway in mysterious tales like ＂The Lost Special＂ and ＂The Man with the Watches＂ as well as in detective stories like ＂The Adventure of the Engineer＇s Thumb＂, ＂The Adventure of Bruce-Partington Plan＂, ＂Valley of Fear＂ and several others. How can this spatiotemporal mobility be connected to mysterious affairs which lead Doyle＇s quasi-detective characters and police power to spring into investigative action？ Railway, mobility, and horror are woven together into a driving force that facilitates our geographical and forensic exploration of Doyle＇s stories.

摘要：In Conan Doyle’s detective stories mainly including“The Resident Patient,”“The Gloria Scott,”“The Adventure of Blanched Soldier,”and“The Crooked Man,”featuring the master sleuth character Sherlock Holmes,he depicts the return of the colonials from British colonies,mostly India,with physically deformed or ravaged body and traumatic past that haunt and trouble his characters’present *** allegorically uses returned colonials or poor whites who turn into figures of retributive ghosts that function as pathetic memories and inner fears from British *** seeing of ghostly figures and haunting past events delineated in these stories cause characters’sense of uncanny horror and remind them of their past *** monstrous returned colonials or poor whites often create a fear and a social menace that must be appropriately dealt with when the master sleuth is commissioned to pin down the truth of client’s *** are these bodies of ghostly figures so“irregular”and ravaged?What do these deformities signify?How can returned colonial’s or poor white’s traumatic past be related to retributive ghost?This paper attempts to probe into these issues in order to find out possible answers.

摘要：由于工艺的偏差主导了大部分器件的长度和宽度,所以这种偏差在更先进的工艺节点上尤其重要。传统的片上偏差(on-chip variation,OCV)已经使用了一个下降因子(derating factor)在所有的时序路径上,去模仿工艺变化,这样对于增加工艺偏差来说太悲观了。对比与传统的片上偏差,先进的片上偏差(Advanced OCV,AOCV)在不同的时序路径上给出了不同的下降因子。这样就可以减轻由于下降和减少过度设计和时序收敛周期而引起的过度悲观。这篇文章中我们介绍了一种创新的AOCV芯片设计流程,包括AOCV表格生成,执行和si gn-of f阶段。在AOCV表格生成中,我们重点介绍如何选择设计相关的工艺偏差参数。执行相关的AOCV表格可以加快转换周期,而且EDA时序修改工具能支持AOCV表格。在sign-of f阶段,我们对比了Synopsys Primetime基于路径分析AOCV的实验结果,表明误差在1%以内。
