When not performing a task, we are usually engaged in a variety of thoughts, for instance about current problems, opportunities, our self-image, our relationships, about past experiences, and about plans for the future. Such mind wandering was found to occupy almost half of our time spent awake (Killingsworth and Gilbert, 2010). Mind wandering may have had the evolutionary advantage of better a...

No-till management has been shown to increase soil aggregation, reduce erosion rates, and increase soil organic matter across a range of soil types, cropping systems, and climates. Few agricultural practices provide similar opportunities to deliver positive benefits for farmers, society, and the environment. The potential benefits of no-till are not being fully realized, however, in large part ...

A brief account of various paths used in the development of ink-jet printing for textiles has been reported. Thi s technology has achieved considerable success till the production stage and a lot of R&D work is being done to improve it further. It is a clean and environment-friendly process that reduces printing duration and costs by increasing productivity of pre-production in printing process...

A new type of iterative decoders based on analog computing networks, which are used to decode powerful error-correcting schemes, such as Turbo and Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, outperform their digital counterparts in terms of power consumption and speed. Only few analog Turbo decoders, all of them based on CMOS subthreshold technology have been implemented till now. This paper aims to...

The wireless sensor network is an emerging technology in the field of communication. This technology has many advantages but the security issues have been not given much consideration till now. Due to this neglecting, few loopholes in the security have started to occur such as wormhole attack, blackhole attack, etc. In this paper the various aspects have been covered regarding security provisio...

There are few studies on how social workers deal with cases regarding transnational surrogacy. Our study intends to contribute to filling this gap. In Sweden, surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology method is not permitted. As a result, many prospective parents have turned abroad, mainly to India, for surrogacy. There are no laws regulating surrogacy in Sweden, and difficulties have ar...

Adder’s area unit basic building block of Arithmetic VLSI circuits found in processors and microcontroller within Arithmetic and Logic units. Improvement of adder is so vital so as to extend the performance of those units wherever adders realize application. Full adders, till now, are designed wide selection of structures for improvement of varied parameters like power consumption, performance ...

The stylized model presented is an optimal control model of technology investment decision of a single product firm. The firm’s technology investment does not have only a long-run positive effect but also a short-run adverse effect on its sales volume. We examine the case of high adverse investment effects where the firm finally leaves the market but we have observed different life cycles till ...
