The speedup of a switch is the factor by which the switch, and hence the memory used in the switch, runs faster compared to the line rate. In high-speed switches, line rates are already touching limits at which memory can operate. In this scenario, it is very important for a switch to run at as low a speedup as possible. In the past, it has been shown that 100% throughput can be achieved for an...

Monostability and multistability are proven to be two important topics in synthesis biology and system biology. In this paper, both monostability and multistability are analyzed in a unified framework by applying control theory and mathematical tools. The genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with multiple time-varying delays and different types of regulation functions are considered. By putting f...

In this article, issues of both stability and dissipativity for a type bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural systems with time delays are investigated. By using generalized Halanay inequalities constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals, some novelty criteria obtained the asymptotic BAM delays. Also, without assuming boundedness differentiability activation functions, new sufficient ...

Although young children in foster care are at high risk for developmental delays and subsequent academic, social, and behavioral difficulties, many do not receive services for delays. We sought to explicate the types of developmental delays observed in young children (ages 3-6 years) in foster care and how placement and maltreatment experiences for these children were associated with such delay...

The polynomial-time retiming algorithms that were developed in the eighties assumed simple delay models that neglected several timing issues that arise in logic design. Recent retiming algorithms for more comprehensive delay models rely on non-linear formulations and run in worst-case exponential time using branch-and-bound techniques. In this paper, we investigate the retiming problem for edge...

cosmic rays (cr) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. however whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. fu...
