AbstractIn this work faster unsigned multiplication has been achieved by using a combination of High Performance Multiplication [HPM] column reduction technique and implementing a N-bit multiplier using 4 N/2-bit multipliers (recursive multiplication) and acceleration of the final addition using a hybrid adder. Low power has been achieved by using clock gating technique. Based on the proposed t...

AbstractIn this paper we derive stochastic representations for the finite dimensional distributions of a multidimensional diffusion on a fixed time interval, conditioned on the terminal state. The conditioning can be with respect to a fixed point or more generally with respect to some subset. The representations rely on a reverse process connected with the given (forward) diffusion as introduce...

AbstractIn a Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) based cellular network, meeting the diverse quality of service (QoS) needs of mobile hosts (MHs) is a challenge because of the fluctuations in the quality of the wireless channel. In this paper, the QoS needs of the MHs application are modelled using service curve. Furthermore, a notion of deviation is introduced as a measure ...

ABSTRACTIn the absence of a universally agreed-upon definition of successful aging, researchers increasingly look to older adults for layperson views of aging and definitions of successful aging. To use lay definitions in studies of aging, however, researchers must address the definitions' consistency. In 2004, surviving members of the Manitoba Follow-up Study male cohort (mean age: 83 years) w...

AbstractIn this paper, we propose the use of a Simple Evolution Strategy (SES) (i.e., a -ES with self-adaptation that uses three tournament rules based on feasibility) coupled with a diversity mechanism to solve constrained optimization problems. The proposed mechanism is based on multiobjective optimization concepts taken from an approach called the Niched-Pareto Genetic Algorithm (NPGA). The ...

Hybridity has become a master trope across many spheres of cultural research, theory, and criticism, and one of the most widely used and criticized concepts in postcolonial theory. This article begins with a thorough review of the interdisciplinary scholarship on hybridity. Then it revisits the trope of hybridity in the context of a series of articles on cultural globalization published in the ...

‘Agency in The God of Small Things?’ Surprise may well be readers’ first reaction to this thought as they recall the series of relentless tragic events that befall the chief characters of this novel. To commence this seemingly unjustified mission, I shall consider the kind and scale of agency one finds in Roy’s political writings. I adopt this procedure because Roy herself, in an interview with...

Coulomb energy calculations for the lowest 0+ , T = 2 state in A = 16 nuclei allow tight constraints on the masses of the lowest 1/2+ , T = 3/2 state in 15O and 15F, and of the 0+ , T = 2 state in 16F. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Mathematics | Physics Comments Suggested Citation: Fortune, H.T. (2006). Constraints on energies of 15F(g.s.), 15O(1/2+ , T = 3/2 ), and 16F(0+, T = 2). Physical...

Malaysian literature in English has just attained its sixtieth anniversary since its modest inception in the late 1940s, initiated by a small group of college and university students in Singapore. Singapore was the academic hub of British Malaya and the only university of the colony was located there, therefore it was natural that a movement in English writing should have started from there. No...
