Asynchronous circuits can provide an elegant and high performance interconnect solution for synchronous systemon-chip (SoC) designs with multiple clock domains. This “globally asynchronous, locally synchronous” (GALS) approach simplifies global timing and synchronization problems, improving performance, reliability, and development time. Fulcrum Microsystems’ SoC interconnect, “Nexus”, includes...

The paper titled “SystemAccuracy Evaluation of the GlucoRx NexusVoiceTD-4280BloodGlucoseMonitoring System” [1], published in Disease Markers, has been retracted upon the authors’ request, as the routine hospital laboratory evaluation protocol used varied from recommended best practice study design. Although this protocol established the fact that GlucoRx Nexus Voice system was clinically accura...

Energy systems are transitioning toward sustainable power generation largely due to new policies that motivated by climate and renewable targets. This transition is felt throughout the entire economy affecting long short term operations of energy system. In last decade, research community has made significant efforts model its impacts. Typically, these models focus on a limited subset different...

The paper extends Breggren et al. (2008, EE) on ‘trust and growth: a shaky relationship” by incorporating recent developments in the trust-growth literature and using a robust methodological underpinning that accounts for the presence of outliers. The empirical evidence is based on 63 countries. Two main findings are established. First, the substantially documented positive trust-growth nexus i...

Within the scope of the research project NEXUS that is being worked on at the University of Stuttgart in cooperation between the Institute for Photogrammetry, the Institute of Parallel and Distributed High-Performance Systems and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering, a generic platform supporting location aware applications with mobile users will be developed. In ord...

Current urbanization rates concentrate the ever growing demand for food, energy and water (FEW) resources particularly in cities, making them one of main drivers greenhouse gas emissions. The FEW nexus integrative approach offers a potential framework sustainable resource management cities. However, existing evaluation tools are limited application often inadequate. This is primarily due to int...

Purpose: This paper aims to analyse how investments in innovation, research and development poultry production affect the water's efficient use.
 
 Theoretical framework: To understand water stress, literature review addresses content related analysis of balance between food (Nexus-Few), as well those that support effects improving use water.
 Method/design/approach: The data wer...

‎‎in this paper‎, ‎we define fuzzy subnexuses over a nexus $n$‎. ‎define and study the notions of the prime fuzzy subnexuses and the fractions‎‎induced by them‎. ‎finally‎, ‎we show that if s is a meet‎‎closed subset of the set fsub(n), ‎of fuzzy subnexuses of a nexus n‎, ‎and‎‎h= ⋀s ϵ s, ‎then the fractions s^-1 n and h^-1 n are isomorphic as meet-semilattices‎.

Agency Theory as the dominant view of Corporate Governance disregards that the key task of firm governance is to generate, accumulate, transfer, and protect firm specific knowledge. Three different foundations to the theory of the firm which underpin different concepts of corporate governance are discussed: The traditional view of the firm as a nexus of contracts, the view of the firm as a nexu...

Interdependent systems providing water and energy services are necessary for agriculture. Climate change and increased resource demands are expected to cause frequent and severe strains on these systems. Arizona is especially vulnerable to such strains due to its hot and arid climate. However, its climate enables year-round agricultural production, allowing Arizona to supply most of the country...
