This paper considers the problem of estimating the power consumption at logic and register transfer levels of design from an information theoretical point of view. In particular, it is demonstrated that the average switching activity in the circuit can be calculated using either entropy or informational energy averages. For control circuits and random logic, the output entropy (informational en...

Thesaural approach to entities’ metaphysicalistic organization is shown within the design of an informational consciousness system. Besides phenomenal, psychological, biological, quantum-mechanical, artificial, and other possible definitions of consciousness, the informational consciousness (IC) is outlined as a major autonomous subsystem necessary in any conscious system. It is impossible to i...

Abstract The global trend of urbanization coupled with an increasing awareness the importance food systems resilience, has led to interest in urban agriculture sustainably feed rapidly growing population and mitigate against supply chain disruptions. While home community gardens have been long studied, there relatively little empirical research focused specifically on commercial (CUA) operation...

In response to piracy and online file trading, the music industry has begun to adopt technological measures, often referred to as digital rights management (DRM), to control the sale and distribution of music over the Internet. Previous economic analysis on the impact of DRM implementation has been overly simplistic. A careful analysis of copyright law and the microeconomic principles governing...

Online users often need to make adoption decisions without accurate information about the product values. An informational cascade occurs when it is optimal for an online user, having observed others’ actions, to follow the adoption decision of the preceding individual without regard to his own information. Informational cascades are often rational for individual decision making; however, it ma...

the primary objective of this research is to evolve “a model for organizational intelligence in iranian universities”. based on the literature review, the dimensions and components of organizational intelligence in public universities were identified using expert panel opinions and delphi technique. a novel model for organizational intelligence in iranian universities is investigated by using d...
