individuals create different links through their interaction with environment. during this connection, unknown spaces become places by meanings which people attach to them. it seems that the meaning, play an important role in sense which people percept from a place. in environment psychology, concepts such as sense of place and place attachment investigate as an emotional relationship between p...

For technologies with significant interconnection delays, optimal clock period selection before/during high-level synthesis is not practical. In our approach, we start with a synthesized RTL data path structure, perform place and route and back-annotate the interconnection delays. A set of potentially optimal clock periods are chosen by evaluating 'critical' paths to minimize the dead time asso...

by appearance of human societies, the spiritual needs of different individuals and societies to worship the creator and to donate in order to attain the health and to fulfill the wishes had caused them to erect the specific places for offering the sacrificial materials. this article is generally a brief study on the places to donate and offer the sacrificial materials to sacred places regarding...

Defect tolerance will become more important as feature sizes shrink closer to single digit nanometer dimensions. This is true whether the chips are manufactured using topdown methods (e.g., photolithography) or bottom-up methods (e.g., chemically assembled electronic nanotechnology, or CAEN). In this paper, we propose a defect tolerance methodology centered around reconfigurable devices, a scal...

This study aimed to extend previous studies into resilience, by identifying the roles that teachers played in fostering resilience (N=57: females n=43; and males n=14). A quantitative scale was administered to teachers in South Australia’s Catholic education sector to determine the extent to which they were involved in fostering resilience. A qualitative questionnaire followed which determined ...

With advancing semiconductor technology and exponentially growing design complexities, predictability of design tools becomes an important part of a stable top-down design process. Prediction of individual tool solution quality enables designers to use tools to achieve best solutions within prescribed resources, thus reducing design cycle time. However, as EDA tools become more complex, they be...

Laparoscopy is increasingly selected instead of the laparotomies at the last three decades. The earliest indications of laparoscopies were mostly for gynaecological treatments and cholecystectomies (Cunningham, 1998). Since then, spectrum has been expanding. Increasing laparoscopy experience caused expansion of the indications and, contrary to this, declining the contraindications. So, it can a...

Recreating real places – as distinct from virtual spaces or environments – using virtual reality technology raises a series of significant challenges. Fortunately there is a large body of existing research into the experience of place which might reasonably contribute to our understanding of the task. This paper reviews key aspects of the 'place' literature, relates them to the concept of prese...
