The current system of health technology development is characterised by multiple misalignments. The “supply” side (innovation policy-makers, entrepreneurs, investors) and the “demand” side (health policy-makers, regulators, health technology assessment, purchasers) operate under different – and conflicting – logics. The system is less a “pathway” than an unstable ecosystem of multiple interacti...

In this paper we introduce controlled *-g-frame and *-g-multipliers in Hilbert C*-modules and investigate the properties. We demonstrate that any controlled *-g-frame is equivalent to a *-g-frame and define multipliers for (C,C')- controlled*-g-frames .

Applying Johansen cointegration test to U.S. annual data constructed from the EU KLEMS database, the paper documents that the productivities of consumption-goods and equipmentgoods sector are cointegrated. It confirms further, using the non-linear cointegration test framework developed by Kapetanios et al. (2006), that the cointegrating relation is non-linear. The cointegration of sectoral prod...

As developed by Wallace and Dadda, a method for high-speed, parallel multiplication is to generate a matrix of partial products and then reduce the partial products to two numbers whose sum is equal to the final product. The resulting two numbers are then summed using a fast carry-propagate adder. This paper presents Reduced Area multipliers, which employ a modified reduction scheme that result...

In this thesis, cross-sectoral networks among government, industry and citizen sectors in two Japanese local sustainable development projects introduced bioenergy will be analyzed and discussed. The research and analysis focus on the contributions by local cross-sectoral networks in the projects. As a result of case studies, the local cross-sectoral networks showed their strengths in interpreta...

In any digital signal processors (DSP’s) the speed of the multipliers plays a very important role. The precision of the multipliers also plays very important role along with its speed. For many high performance systems such as Digital Signal Processors, Microprocessors etc Multipliers are the key components. Since the Floating point multipliers can provide required precision but they are relati...

Water resources are one of the limiting factors of regional development around the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean. Scarcity and conflict, but also considerable uncertainty, inter-annual variability, and simple lack of reliable data characterize the problems of water resource management in many countries and river basins. Within the EU sponsored international RTD project OPTIMA a water resou...

It is proved that stability multipliers such as Zames–Falb multipliers, Popov multipliers, and RL/RC multipliers, known to preserve positivity of monotone memoryless nonlinearities, do not, in general, preserve their incremental positivity. Our result implies that stability results based on these multipliers should be interpreted with caution since without incremental positivity the continuity ...

Multipliers are often used to find conditions for the absolute stability of Lur'e systems. They can be used either in conjunction with passivity theory or within the more recent framework of integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). This seminar presents two equivalence results within multiplier theory. In the first part of the seminar, passivity with multipliers and IQC theory are compared. The p...
