Artificial Neural Networks have become a common solution for many real world problems. Many industrial, commercial and research applications need hardware implementation due to issues regarding stability, speed, price and size. This paper presents the implementation of a feed forward Artificial Neural Network in FPGA using two embedded processors. The processors used are Xilinx hardcore PowerPC...

Bosonic and fermionic Hubbard models on the checkerboard lattice are studied numerically for infinite on-site repulsion. At particle density n=1/4 and strong nearest-neighbor repulsion, insulating Valence-Bond crystals (VBC) of resonating particle pairs are stabilized. Their melting into superfluid or metallic phases under increasing hopping is investigated at T=0 K. We identify a novel and unc...

In the social network of a web-based online game, all players are not equal. Through network analysis, we show that the community of players in a online social game is an example of a scale free small world network and that the growth of the player-base obeys a power law. The community is centred around a minority group of “hardcore” players who define the social environment for the game, and w...

• A parametric stochastic fiber model for generating virtual structures is presented. sample fibrous material imaged using X-ray microtomography. Statistical information from the used to determine parameters. Several relevant measures are show consistency between structures. Many products incorporate into their design with particular levels of permeability as a way control retention and flow li...
