In this note, 30,227 paintings by fifty well-known modern and contemporary Australian artists sold at auction over the period 1973-2003 are used to construct a hedonic price index. The attributes included in the hedonic regression model include the name, age and living status of the artist, the number of works sold, the size and medium of the painting, and the auction house, month and year in w...

— Memristors are passive components with a varying resistance which depends on the previous voltage applied across the device. While memristors are naturally used as memory, memristors can also be used for other applications, including logic circuits. In this paper, a memristor only logic family, MAGIC (Memristor Aided LoGIC), is presented. In each MAGIC logic gate, memristors serve as an input...

The length function `q(r, R) is the smallest length of a q-ary linear code of covering radius R and codimension r. In this work, by computer search in wide regions of q, we obtained short [n, n− 4, 5]q3 quasiperfect MDS codes and [n, n− 5, 5]q3 quasiperfect Almost MDS codes with covering radius R = 3. The new codes imply the following upper bounds: `q(4, 3) < 2.8 3 √ q ln q for 8 ≤ q ≤ 3323 and...

A novel, efficient, time-saving and reliable radiolabeling procedure via nucleophilic substitution with [(18)F]fluoride is described. Different radiolabeled aliphatic and aromatic compounds were prepared in high radiochemical yields simply by heating of quaternary anilinium, diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium [(18)F]fluorides in suitable solvents. The latter were obtained via direct elution of...

This article presents two new, reconfigurable multifunction floating-gate circuit to produce either the INVERTED CARRY function for a FULL-ADDER, an INVERTER, or two-input NAND or NOR gates. The circuits contains two MOSFETs and three or four capacitively coupled input signals. SPICE simulations are shown, demonstrating the principal operation, together with preliminary measurements indicating ...
