“Biodiversity offsetting” is a novel approach to nature conservation, through which it is intended to dissociate economic development from negative biodiversity impacts. Biodiversity offsets involve the quantification of the predicted biodiversity losses associated with a given development project, and subsequently, the provision of full ecological compensation measures elsewhere by the associa...

Hybrid architectures integrating a processor with an SRAM-based FPGA fabric—for example, Xilinx ZynQ SoC—are increasingly being used as single-chip solution in several market segments to replace multi-chip designs. These devices not only provide advantages terms of logic density, cost and integration, but also run-time in-field reconfiguration capabilities. However, the current capabilities pro...
