Despite its importance, we find that a rigorous theoretical foundation for performing timing analysis has been lacking so far. As a result, we have initiated a research project that aims to provide such a foundation for functional timing analysis. As part of this work we have developed an abstract automaton based delay model that accounts for the various analog factors affecting delay, such as ...

the dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. the corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. on the other hand, penalties are usually...

The purpose of this project is to lower the power consumption by reducing the operating voltage of a 32-bit adder, implemented with TSMC035 technology. The delay and power dissipation of the circuit at different voltages were studied and based on the power delay product an optimal voltage of operation was chosen. A level converter circuit was designed, in order to make the circuit compatible wi...

In the area of design automation, variability emulation is a powerful idea that can help bridge the gap between a conservative design and the opportunistic characteristics in a software. A variability emulator can be used to explicitly control hardware variability to study development of variation-aware software such as in Underdesigned and Opportunistic Computing (UnO) [1]. This project focuse...

The research aimed to find out and analyze the main causes of delay in construction projects. Just as so how most things are; an unforeseen on a site is inevitable. was designed identify possible at projects from literature review previous studies which there are over than thirty were displayed, then these tested by analyzing data information that collected clients, consultants contractors, res...

background and purpose: research in medical science, as in all other fields of science, is necessary in order to maintain and improve the public health. this is achievable only by researchers and faculty members. this study is attempt o identify intra-organizational factors that influence research planning and related interventions in tabriz medical university. methods: in this descriptive cros...

This project was conducted to investigate new concepts, new tools and emerging technologies directed at enhancing traffic operations and safety on signalized urban arterials that operate under saturated conditions. McFarland Boulevard, a six-lane urban arterial running north-south through Tuscaloosa, AL served as the research focus and test bed for the project. There are nine urban intersection...

Over the years, many private sector participation (PSP) models have been evolved for infrastructure procurement and the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model is one of the most common approaches used for the same. Private infrastructure projects under BOT arrangement have a complex risk profile and to a considerable extent, the success of any BOT project is influenced by the degree to which variou...

The growing rate of delays in project delivery is considered a major criticism of the construction companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This paper aims to investigate the causes and effects behind the delays pertaining to delivery of construction projects in the UAE. The study is exploratory in nature, and incorporates a pilot questionnaire survey and interviews. An extensive literature...
