We study a colloidal suspension confined between two quasiparallel walls as a model system for glass transitions in confined geometries. The suspension is a mixture of two particle sizes to prevent wall-induced crystallization. We use confocal microscopy to directly observe the motion of colloidal particles. This motion is slower in confinement, thus producing glassy behavior in a sample which ...

This work focuses on the design of a novel FPGA architecture based on memristor-transistor hybrid approach. A lot of research has been carried out in the field of FPGA that has focused on decreasing the size and power consumption of FPGAs. However, still FPGAs are larger in area, slower in speed and more power consuming. In this work, basic building blocks like MUX, NOR gate, D flip flop, NOT g...

The design of analogue low power VLSI building block is very important for implantable devices, like cochlear implants and implantable cardioverter deebril-lators(ICD). In this paper we describe the micropower analogue building blocks for implementing the template matcher used for intracardiac electrogram (ICEG) clas-siication and data compression in an ICD. These blocks were fabricated using O...

ABSTRACT New challenges in the efficient management of cities depend on a deep knowledge of their inner structures. It is therefore very important to have access to reliable models of cities characteristics and organization. This paper aims at providing and validating a stochastic modelization based on statistical data of buildings parameters which can be useful as an entry for many other model...
