This study analyzes emotions established between people while interacting in face-to-face conversation. By focusing on empathy and antipathy, especially the process by which they are perceived by external observers, this paper aims to elucidate the tendency of their perception and from it develop a computational model that realizes the automatic inference of perceived empathy/antipathy. This pa...

,4bsfrad —The stability of both resistor-load (R-load) and full-(2MOS SRAM cells is investigated analytically as well as by simulation. Explicit analytic expressions for the static-noise margin (SNM) as a function of device parameters and supply voltage are derived. The expressions are useful in predicting tbe effect of parameter changes on the stability as well as in optimizing the design of S...

We present a static analysis to infer the amount of data that a distributed system may transmit. The different locations of a distributed system communicate and coordinate their actions by posting tasks among them. A task is posted by building a message with the task name and the data on which such task has to be executed. When the task completes, the result can be retrieved by means of another...

We propose an analytic response theory for the density matrix renormalisation group whereby response properties correspond to analytic derivatives of density matrix renormalisation group observables with respect to the applied perturbations. Both static and frequency-dependent response theories are formulated and implemented. We evaluate our pilot implementation by calculating static and freque...

Under manufacturing process variation, the circuit delay varies with process parameters. For delay test and timing verification under process variation, it is necessary to model the variational delay as a function of process variables. However, conventional methods to generate such functions are either slow or inaccurate. In this paper, we present a number of new methods for fast parametric del...

A multifunctional sensor that responds to all – static/quasi-static or dynamic temperature or force – is reported. The sensor is based on a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) capacitor connected to the gate of organic field-effect transistor (OFET). Both, the P(VDF-TrFE) capacitance and the output voltage of the P(VDF-TrFE)/OFET sensor exhibit a logarithmic ...

zipper braced frames are an innovative bracing system for steel structures. conventional inverted-v-braced frames exhibit a design problem arising from the unbalanced vertical force generated by the lower story braces when one of them buckles. this adverse effect can be mitigated by adding zipper columns or vertical members connecting the intersection points of the braces above the first floor....

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

A balance printout is a fixed record, and also called static data. But how are data when the weight used in chromatographic analysis? Also, have some regulatory integrity guidance documents failed to comply with their own regulations?
