Subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) circuits can be used in design of low-voltage and ultra-low power digital systems. This article introduces and analyzes new techniques for implementing complex digital systems using STSCL gates with an improved power-delay product (PDP) based on source-follower output stages. A test chip has been manufactured in a conventional digital 0.18μm CMOS techno...

Abstract In this work, a strict MILP formulation for the supply-chain pick-up and delivery problem with transshipments is presented (SC-PDP-T). This problem adds the option for transferring goods from one vehicle to another. This additional flexibility is very attractive for the optimal management of supply chains. Based on the novel features of the SC-PDP-T, this work addresses the major model...

This paper presents power analysis of the full adder cells reported as having a low PDP (Power Delay Product), by means of speed, power consumption and area. These full adders were designed upon various logic styles to derive the sum and carry outputs. Two new high-speed and low-power full adder cells designed with an alternative internal logic structure and pass-transistor logic styles that le...

This paper proposes a new double-edge-triggered implicitly level-converting flip-flop, suitable for a low-power and low-voltage design. The design employs a sense amplifier architecture to reduce the delay and power consumption. Experimentally, when implemented with a 130-nm, single-Vt and 0.84 V VDD process, it achieves 64% power-delay product (PDP) improvement, and moreover, 78% PDP improveme...

The multipliers are the key structure for designing high performance digital systems. Design considerations of multiplier include high speed, less power consumption, less PDP (power-delay product) and regularity of layout. These design parameters make it suitable for various compact low power VLSI implementations. This paper presents an application of the proposed XNOR-XOR cell for a 2x2 array ...

According to Bowers (2009), the finding that there are neurons with highly selective responses to familiar stimuli supports theories positing localist representations over approaches positing distributed representations (including PDP models). However, his conclusions derive from an overly narrow view of the range of possible distributed representations and of the role that PDP models can play ...

In this thesis we study the geometry and topology of Riemannian 3-orbifolds which are locally volume collapsed with respect to a curvature scale. Our main result is that a sufficiently collapsed closed 3-orbifold without bad 2-suborbifolds satisfies Thurston’s Geometrization Conjecture. We also prove a version of this result with boundary. Kleiner and Lott indepedently and simultanously proved ...

Kad imbas sangat lazim digunakan sebagai bahan bantu mengajar (BBM) dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) kanak-kanak prasekolah sejak abad ke-19. Kajian kes ini meneroka amalan PdP yang berasaskan kad BBM oleh tiga orang guru terdiri daripada sektor berbeza, iaitu kerajaan, swasta, pusat perkembangan kanak-kanak. Data diperoleh dengan pengaplikasian teknik triangulasi menerusi gabungan kaeda...

One problem in collaborative pickup delivery (PDP) was excessive outsourced jobs. It happened many studies on the PDP. Besides, revenue sharing it unclear although important. This work aimed to propose a novel PDP model which minimizes total travel distance while maintains low proposed several contributions. First, prioritized internal jobs first rather than full model. Second, new adopted clus...
