Without knowledge of the issues, the right tools, and a well-thought out development methodology, floating-point applications can in fact suffer the same problems as fixed-point equivalents. The reduced precision and range of fixed-point numbers means that fixed-point applications encounter stability problems more easily than floating-point applications, but both types of applications encounter...

Inter-chip signaling latency and bandwidth can be key factors limiting the performance of large VLSI systems. We present a high performance, transmission line signaling scheme for point-to-point communications between VLSI components. In particular , we detail circuitry which allows a pad driver to sense the voltage level on the attached pad during signaling and adjust the drive impedance to ma...

the beet moth, scrobipalpa ocellatella is recognized as a widespread agricultural pest. cold hardiness strategy of the beet moth larvae was investigated through monitoring seasonal changes at supercooling points and lower lethal temperatures. furthermore, the role of microhabitat in winter survival was studied. the mean scps of the last instar larvae was not significantly different from novembe...

in the present paper, we introduces the notion of integral type contractive mapping with respect to ordered s-metric space and prove some coupled common fixed point results of integral type contractive mapping in ordered s-metric space. moreover, we give an example to support our main result.

recently, cho et al. [y. j. cho, r. saadati, s. h. wang, common xed point theorems on generalized distance in ordered cone metric spaces, comput. math. appl. 61 (2011) 1254-1260] dened the concept of the c-distance in a cone metric space and proved some xed point theorems on c-distance. in this paper, we prove some new xed point and common xed point theorems by using the distance in ordere...

in this study some thermodynamic parameters including freezing point, boiling point and the vapor pressure of urmia lake salt water were investigated as some important environmentally monitored physicochemical properties of urmia lake. in this regard salt concentration is chiefly responsible for the modification of the thermodynamic properties of urmia lake water which affects its overall envir...
