In order to design and build computers that achieve and sustain high performance, it is essential that reliability issues be considered care fully. The problem has several aspects. Certainly, considering reliability implies that an engineer must be able to analyze how design decisions affect the incidence of failure. For instance, in order design reliable inte gritted circuits, it is necessary to analyze how decisions regarding design rules affect the yield, i.e., the percentage of functional chips obtained by the manufacturing process. Of equal importance in producing reliable computers is...

Though most of the people in south live in villages, there are important centers of urban concentration even here. The urban south carries all the birth pangs of underdevelopment. Unplanned growth, traffic congestion, sprawling slums are some of its basic features. The present study concentrates on Human Development aspect of these urban conglomerates. The study chooses West Bengal a State of India as its focal point. The study reveals huge inequality among the urban centers in West Bengal. It also shows limited mobility across several states. There exists wide cleavage between the urban area...
