This paper introduces four new resistorless circuits of first-order current-mode all-pass filter (CMAPF) based on dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DXCCTA). All the four circuits use a single DXCCTA and a capacitor for their realization. The main features of the proposed CMAPFs are: use of minimum active and passive components, resistorless realization, electronically adjustab...

In this paper, we reanalyze Medical Innovation, the classic study on diffusion of Tetracycline by Coleman, Katz and Menzel (1966). Medical Innovation articulates how different patterns of interpersonal communications can influence the diffusion process at different stages of adoption. In their pioneering study, individual network (discussion, friendship or advice) was perceived as a set of disj...

Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have very high levels of mental health (and related) problems but relatively few ever receive required treatment. This paper details the development and implementation of an agent-based decision support system, underpinned by dynamic network analysis models and technologies, aimed at assisting an agency concerned with improving outreach t...

Probabilistic-based methods have been used for designing noise tolerant circuits recently. In these methods, however, there is not any reliability mechanism that is essential for nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing reliable probabilistic-based logic gates. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with previous probabilistic-based met...

performance and development are based on hard work, experience and learning. learning how to change different behaviors is crucial to successful talent management plans. within the brain there are complex connected circuits that can identify threats. the brain reacts to change as a threat. there is also a collection of brain structures tied to a natural reward system that are involved in the re...

this paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of mems[1] variable capacitors. using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. the analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. a complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...

floorplanning is an important step in physical design of vlsi circuits. it is used to plan the positions of a set of circuit modules on a chip in order to optimize the circuit performance. however, modern floorplanning takes better care of providing extra options to place dedicated modules in the hierarchical designs to align circuit blocks one by one within certain bounding box for helping seq...

quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) are a promising nanotechnology to implement digital circuits at the nanoscale. devices based on qca have the advantages of faster speed, lower power consumption, and greatly reduced sizes. in this paper, we are presented the circuits, which generate random numbers in qca. random numbers have many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gamblin...
