A generalized method for optimizing the global placement of a VLSI chip across multiple cost metrics, such as total wire length, timing, congestion, and signal integrity is described. The method relies upon a “look ahead” technique, combined with any generic cost function that can be used to set placement directives. These placement directives include net weights and cell spreading. The method of performing the placement involves the iterative reuse of the process of successive partitioning. This iterative reuse establishes the capability of looking ahead to determine what is to happen. Based on the look ahead, it is possible to evaluate the qualities of the placement about to be generated. The method proceeds through the placement from while maintaining the current state of the placement along with the look-ahead state of the placement. Directives are generated and modified in order that the next steps applied to the current state of the placement will cause it to change to achieve an ultimate higher quality final output.

The invention is based on the realization that brain cancer cells spread preferentially along paths of elevated water diffusion, such as along nerve fiber bundles, that can be measured by magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and the migration of cancer cells away from the primary tumor can be predicted using computational models that incorporate DWI information. The invention therefore applies DWI and models cell migration to develop appropriate non-symmetric margins for radiation treatment of malignant brain tumors.

The microgel assembly is driven by the polymerization dynamics of fibrin, and the architecture of these interconnected pockets can be tuned. The composite constructs support cell spreading, migration and infiltration more efficiently than do control matrices. The composite constructs can be used attract cells and/or to deliver therapeutic, diagnostic, nutraceutical, prophylactic and cosmetic agents to a desired site.
