Binaural synthesis is a virtual-acoustics technology based on the convolution of sound signals with impulse responses modeling the propagation paths between sources and listener. The convolution products are typically presented by headphones. The frequency-dependent correction level necessary for a binauralsynthesis system to elicit the reference-scene loudness is referred to as loudnesstransfe...

In real complex networks, different paths are l...

Since communication networks such as the Internet, which is regarded as a complex network, have recently become a huge scale and a lot of data pass through them, the improvement of packet routing strategies for transport is one of the most significant themes in the study of computer networks. It is especially important to find routing strategies which can bear as many traffic as possible withou...

Findings from research on parent-child and adult mate relationships suggest that there are different paths of development in Japan and the United States. In Japan, the path is one of symbiotic harmony, as seen in the emphasis on union in infancy, others' expectations in childhood, the stability of relationships with parents and peers in adolescence, and assurance about the mate relationship in ...

To provide a reliable and efficient service, load balancing plays an important role in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There is a need to maximize the network lifetime for WSNs applications with periodic generation of data. Due to the relationship between energy consumption and network sensor node lifetime, energy consumption in a network should be minimized and balanced in order to increase n...

This paper describes a technique for synthesizing any noise shaping transfer function (NTF) starting from an N-Path Sigma Delta architecture. The proposed method uses cross-coupled paths to obtain missing terms in the NTF. The limitations due to zeros located out of the band of interest, as it happens for conventional N-Path Σ∆ modulators, are avoided. Specific NTFs are synthesized and behaviou...

Glossary (Strong) Component: maximal set of vertices that are reachable from each other by (directed) paths. Cluster: a class of a partition. Community: a dense part of a graph (possibly overlapping). Host graph: the vertices are companies; the edges represent either money transfer or other type of connections. Intersection graph: here the vertices correspond to sets, and edges are drawn if the...

| We present a new non-scan DFT technique for register-transfer (RT) level data paths. In the technique, we add thru operations to some operational modules to make the data path easily testable. We de ne a testable measure, weak testability, and consider the problem to make the data path weakly testable with minimum hardware overhead. We also de ne a measure to estimate the test generation time...

Abstract—Multi-path transferring provides higher available bandwidth for a session. It also has the ability to provide load balancing and error resilience for end-to-end multiple paths. One major problem of multi-path transferring scheme is that utilizing different paths with diverse delays causes reordering among packets of the same session. Unfortunately, in the case of TCP-like, the reorderi...

By a new type of finite size scaling analysis on the square lattice, and by renormalization group calculations on hierarchical lattices we investigate the effects of dilution on optimal undirected self-avoiding paths in a random environment. The behaviour of the optimal paths remains the same as for directed paths in undiluted medium, as long as forbidden bonds are not exceeding the percolation...
