The early validation of modern SoC is not anymore feasible using traditional cycle-accurate cosimulations. These are based on the concurrent execution between SW running on multiple Instruction Set Simulators and HW simulators. The challenge is then speeding-up the simulation, without sacrificing the accuracy of traditional methods. The key contribution of this paper is a novel fast and accurat...

In this article the refraction effects in the weak shock wave SW dispersion on an interface with a temperature variation between two mediums are described. In the case of a finite-gradient boundary, the effect of the SW dispersion is remarkably stronger than in the case of a step change in parameters. In the former case the vertical component of velocity for the transmitted SW the refraction ef...

Numerous techniques have been proposed for shape representation, including landmarks [1], medial representation [2], spherical harmonics (SPHARM) [3], weighted SPHARM [4], and spherical wavelets (SW) [5]. Among them, both weighted SPHARM and SW have been used for local shape representation of biological structures. Questions we address in this paper are what is the relationship between them, ho...

Introduction: Genesis collected solar wind (SW) ions with one major objective being to obtain abundances and isotopic composition of ultra-volatile elements. The SW is a proxy for the composition of the solar outer convective zone (OCZ) and, hence for the solar nebula. For most elements accurate values for the isotopic composition of sun can be inferred from meteorites. Carbonaceous chondrites ...

statistical studies on palynology contents of late cretaceous to paleocene age gurpi formation in a surface section in zagros basin,sw iran indicate changes in abundance, species diversity, ratio of spiniferites to cyclonephelium (s/c), palynological marine index(pmi) values and organic facies. these palynological variations clearly reflect fluctuations in relative sea-level and depositionalenv...

The sliding-mode controller (SMC) for the lateral motion control problem of Four Driving-Steering Wheels (4DW/SW) vehicle is presented in this paper. The lane centerline tracking is the main control performance. The dynamic model of the vehicle has been taken into account. Closed-loop robustness to uncertainties is achieved. The lane centerline tracking is achieved using look-ahead techniques. ...

This study characterizes the differences in osmoregulatory capacity among Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, reared in freshwater (FW), in seawater (SW) or under tidally driven changes in salinity. This was addressed through the use of an abrupt exposure to a change in salinity. We measured changes in: (1) plasma osmolality and prolactin (PRL) levels; (2) pituitary expression of prola...

Important new features are found for a family of swirling jets with velocity v;z, where z is the distance from the jet origin. First, there is a sharp minimum of the pressure coefficient at a certain value of the swirl number Sw which is nearly n independent; this feature can be utilized in technological devices. Second, as Sw increases, a separation zone develops, where the fluid is not at res...

The present work clarifies the relation between domains of universal machines and r.e. prefix-free supersets of such sets. One such characterisation can be obtained in terms of the spectrum function sW (n) mapping n to the number of all strings of length n in the set W . An r.e. prefix-free set W is the superset of the domain of a universal machine iff there are two constants c, d such that sW ...

Transfer to seawater (SW) in rainbow trout elicits an increase in plasma cortisol and a bout of anorexia. Although the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system has known hypophysiotropic and anorexigenic properties, it is not known whether CRF-related peptides originating from either the forebrain or the caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS) play a role during SW acclimation. Therefore, we exa...
