Optimizing gate scheduling at airports is an old, but also a broad problem. The main purpose of this problem is to find an assignment for the flights arriving at and departing from an airport, while satisfying a set of constraints.A closer look at the literature in this research line shows thatin almost all studies airport gate processing time has been considered as a fix parameter. In this res...

Reversible logic has attracted significant attention in recent years. It has applications in low power CMOS, quantum computing, nanotechnology, and optical computing. Traditional gates such as AND, OR, and EXOR are not reversible. In fact NOT is the only reversible gate from the traditional set of gates. Several reversible gates have been proposed. Among them are the controlled NOT (also known ...

Constitutional theorists usually assume that minority-protective judicial review leads to outcomes more favorable to the protected minority and less favorable to the majority. Our analysis highlights an indirect effect of judicial review that complicates this conventional wisdom. Without judicial review, pro-majority and pro-minority leaders adopt different policies. Because judicial review lim...

BACKGROUND Cross-cultural research on minority school achievement yields mixed findings on the motivational impact of future goal setting for students from disadvantaged minority groups. Relevant and recent motivational research, integrating Future Time Perspective Theory with Self-Determination Theory, has not yet been validated among minority students. AIMS To replicate across cultures the ...

We give a quantum gate construction composed entirely from incidents of the CNOT gate that generalises the qubit SWAP gate to higher dimensions. This new construction is more regular than and is an improvement on the WilNOT quantum gate construction.

1) Introduction Recent systems are built of MOSFET transistors. Here, MO stands for metal oxide and FE for field effect. This means, that – in contrast to bipolar transistors – the gate is isolated by a metal oxide (today SiO2) and the channel is just controlled by the field through this oxide. Thus theoretically, the principal of MOSFET devices is that there is no current flowing through the g...

We address disturbs due to gate oxide and junction leakage currents in floating gate nonvolatile memories (NVM). The junction leakage is important, because the gate oxide current is proportional to junction current. We find the low gate leakage current to be caused by field ionization (FI) from traps within the gate oxides. Such low gate leakage currents can lead to sufficient charge accumulati...
