We provide empirical evidence on the heterogeneous transmission of monetary policy to housing market across and within countries. use household-level data from Germany, Italy Switzerland together with respective shocks identified high-frequency data. find that pass-through rates newly originated (fixed-rate) mortgages is twice as strong in Germany Italy. After an accommodative shock, this assoc...

Comparisons between in situ measurements of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) and ocean color remote sensing estimates were conducted during an oceanographic cruise on the Brazilian Southeastern continental shelf and slope, Southwestern South Atlantic. In situ values were based on fluorometry, above-water radiometry and lidar fluorosensor. Three empirical algorithms were used to estimat...

. Abstract We have developed a Clock Multiplying Unit and 4 to 1 Multiplexor (CMUIMUX 4:l) that operates up to 47Gb/s. The on board VCO is LC tuned and the output clock jitter is Lpspp. The eye diagram of the output is 400mV swing with rise and fall times of less than 9ps. This integrated circuit was processed in a 120GHz BICMOS 0.25um process. Power dissipation is only 1W for a chip area of Zm...

Global-scale attacks like worms and botnets are increasing in frequency, severity and sophistication, making it critical to detect outbursts at routers/gateways instead of end hosts. In this paper, leveraging data streaming techniques such as the reversible sketch, we design HiFIND, a High-speed Flow-level Intrusion Detection system. In contrast to existing intrusion detection systems, HiFIND: ...

We propose a novel carrier phase estimator based on two-stage Viterbi-Viterbi and QPSK partitioning for 16-QAM. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm is highly tolerant to laser linewidth with a reduced cycle slip probability.

At Fraunhofer IWES a Modelica Library including all major components needed for load calculations of current offshore wind turbines is developed. The library additionally includes models for external conditions, like wind, soil and waves, and their respective influence on the structures. The library constitutes a large effort in the creation of a highly coupled multiphysics model with Modelica ...

With advancing semiconductor technology, growing design complexities, companies have turned to a global design team to build their System on a Chip (SoC). The major challenge is the capacity to scale infrastructure and methodology, along with ASIC design[23]. Silicon Access Networks recently shipped for revenue from first silicon, a family of four high performance SoC products. These high-end n...

The first generation of optical networks employed primarily static point-to-point WDM systems to provide increased network capacity. Optical networks using WDM are now widely deployed in carrier networks, particularly in long-haul networks. For the most part, these point-to-point WDM systems provide tens of wavelengths worth of capacity over a single fiber pair, with each wavelength operating a...

This article describes a new system for induction of oblique decision trees. This system, OC1, combines deterministic hill-climbing with two forms of randomization to nd a good oblique split (in the form of a hyperplane) at each node of a decision tree. Oblique decision tree methods are tuned especially for domains in which the attributes are numeric, although they can be adapted to symbolic or...

Protocol Boosters are functional elements, inserted and deleted from network protocol stacks on an as-needed basis. The Protocol Booster design methodology attempts to improve end-to-end networking performance by adapting protocols to network dynamics. We describe a new dynamically reconngurable FPGA based architecture , called the Programmable Protocol Processing Pipeline (P4), which provides ...
