Jan-ken, a.k.a. rock-paper-scissors, is a cerebrated example of non-transitive game with three (pure) strategies, rock, paper and scissors. Interestingly, any Jan-ken generalized to four strategies contains at least one useless strategy unless it allows tie between distinct pure strategies. Non-transitive dice could be stochastic analogue Jan-ken: the transitivity does not hold on some sets dic...

This paper describes the comparison of VLSI architectures on the basis of Speed, Area and Power of different type of Adders like Carry Chain Adder, Carry Look Ahead Adder, Carry Skip Adder, and Carry Select Adder and 32-bit pipelined Booth Wallace MAC Unit with Carry Chain Adder, Carry Look Ahead Adder, Carry Skip Adder, and Carry Select Adder is designed in which the multiplication is done usi...

In this paper, we propose two 2’s-complement fixed-width Booth multipliers that can generate an n-bit product from an n-bit multiplicand and an n-bit multiplier. Compared with previous designs, our multipliers have smaller truncation error, less area, and smaller time delay in the critical paths. A four-step approach is adopted to search for the best errorcompensation bias in designing a multip...

We present a new architecture for signed multiplication which maintains the pure form of an array multiplier, exhibiting a much lower overhead than the Booth architecture. This architecture is extended for radix-2 encoding, which leads to a reduction of the number of partial lines, enabling a significant improvement in performance and power consumption. The flexibility of our architecture allow...

We present a simulation scheme based on the lattice-Boltzmann method to simulate the dynamics of charged colloids in an electrolyte. In our model we describe the electrostatics on the level of a Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the hydrodynamics of the fluid by the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. We verify our simulation scheme by means of a Chapman-Enskog expansion. Our method is applied to ...

BACKGROUND Ketogenic enteral nutrition (KEN) is a modification of the protein sparing modified fast in which a protein solution is introduced with a continuous infusion through a nasogastric tube over 10-days cycles. The aim of the study was to perform a retrospective analysis of the safety, compliance, weight loss and body composition changes after 3 sequential 10-days cycles of KEN therapy. ...
