Network-on-chip designs promise to offer considerable advantages over the traditional bus-based designs in solving the numerous technological, economic and productivity problems associated with billion-transistor system-on-chip development. The authors believe that different types of networks will be required, depending on the application domain. Therefore, a very flexible network design is pro...

We summarize, categorize, and analyze the various kinds of educational robotics initiatives in Slovakia and share our experience we have obtained while organizing the contests and preparing non-contest robotics educational activities. We argue that the team-work is highly undervalued in the current school system, and that robotics contests and project work are a very suitable platform to streng...

This paper presents an analog built-in saw-tooth generator to be used for linear histogram test of ADCs. The internal generation of a highly linear signal with precise amplitude control relies on the use of an original calibration scheme. The effectiveness of the calibration procedure is evaluated through simulations and results demonstrate that ramp signals with a linearity of 15 bits and an a...

This paper addresses the application of Self-adaptive Global Best Harmony Search (SGHS) algorithm for the supervised training of feed-forward neural networks (NNs). A structure suitable to data representation of NNs is adapted to SGHS algorithm. The technique is empirically tested and verified by training NNs on two classification benchmarking problems. Overall training time, sum of squared err...

KR is a very efficient semantic network knowledge representation language implemented in Common Lisp. It provides basic mechanisms for knowledge representation which include user-defined inheritance, relations, and the usual repertoire of knowledge manipulation functions. The system is simple and compact and does not include some of the more complex functionality often found in other knowledge ...

In this paper, NMR and QTAIM analysis for three substituted of T2SA complex was investigated in the gas and four solvents at DFT level. Intermolecular O–H…N hydrogen bonds between 1,2,4,5-Tetrazine and Sulphurous acids enhance the stability of complex.1,2,4,5-Tetrazine is a highly reactive diene for [4+2] inverse-Diels–Alder cycloaddition processes and an excellent precursor to attain the pyrid...

self-incompatibility is one of the most important difficulties in almond production which reduce fruit set dramatically.therefore, breeding almond to produce self-compatible genotypes is very important. in this research, pollen tube growth was studied in 28 genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent) after self pollination by fluorescent microsco...
