Personality imagery deconstruction is an innovative theory in personality psychology, grounded in Imagery Communication Psychology (ICP). This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the sources of personality imagery, as well as the significance and methods of deconstructing it for practical applications. Inspired by Chinese cultural philosophy, this approach views personality as a system rather than a collection of separate traits. Instead, personality is deconstructed into distinct, independent sub-personalities, each with its own motives, behaviours, and preferences. Through ICP, these sub-personalities emerge in the conscious mind, appearing as individual entities within a broader 'community' of the self. By consciously engaging with each sub-personality, individuals can encourage communication and harmony among them. This process allows for the transformation of negative or stagnant sub-personalities, helping to restore vitality and clarity to the overall personality. In essence, personality imagery deconstruction enables personal growth by transforming the inner dynamics of one's mental life.

Predictive Technology Model for Robust Nanoelectronic Design explains many of the technical mysteries behind the Predictive Technology Model (PTM) that has been adopted worldwide in explorative design research. Through physical derivation and technology extrapolation, PTM is the de-factor device model used in electronic design. This work explains the systematic model development and provides a guide to robust design practice in the presence of variability and reliability issues. Having interacted with multiple leading semiconductor companies and university research teams, the author brings a state-of-the-art perspective on technology scaling to this work and shares insights gained in the practices of device modeling.

Based on the authors' expansive collection of notes taken over the years, Nano-CMOS Circuit and Physical Design bridges the gap between physical and circuit design and fabrication processing, manufacturability, and yield. This innovative book covers: process technology, including sub-wavelength optical lithography; impact of process scaling on circuit and physical implementation and low power with leaky transistors; and DFM, yield, and the impact of physical implementation.
