High-level synthesis is the process of translating a high-level program like specification of the behavior of a digital circuit into a structural design in terms of interconnected set of P..egisterTransfer level components. Component selection and pipelining (CS&P) is one of the important problems in HLS. The time complexity of the exhaustive search algorithm for this problem is exponential. In...

Why Marx Was a Bad Driver: Alienation to Sensuality in the Anthropology of Automobility

Contemporary automobilities research is characterised by a fundamental paradox-recognition of driving as a sensate experience alongside a tendency to emphasise the driver’s sensory disengagement from, rather than engagement with the bodily, social and environmental contexts with which s/he interacts. In this article, which builds on previous empirical work I have published, only now in a more t...

His identification with these elements in HEGEL's thought (and his contempt for what he regarded as HEGEL's apologetic attitude towards the Prussian state) brought Marx to associate...

QUOT AND HILBERT SPACES Contents

The purpose of this chapter is to write about Quot and Hilbert functors and to prove that these are algebraic spaces provided certain technical conditions are satisfied. In this chapter we will discuss this in the setting of algebraic space. A reference is Grothendieck’s lectures, see [Gro95a], [Gro95b], [Gro95e], [Gro95f], [Gro95c], and [Gro95d]. Another reference is the paper [OS03]; this pap...
