The theoretical literature on managing R&D pipeline is largely based on real option theory making decisions about undertaking, continuing, or terminating projects. The theory typically assumes that each project or causally related set of projects is independent. Yet, casual observation suggests that firms expend much effort on “managing” and “balancing” its R&D pipeline, where managing appears ...

The future of ext Generation etworks relies heavily on the effective operation of real-time applications. Media pipeline plug-in architectures have been introduced to provide the efficiency and improvements that these wireless applications require. The pipeline architectures exist for the efficient capture and processing of multimedia streams into a format suitable for transmission in the conte...

Focusing in the advantages and drawbacks on the FPGA implementations vs. ASIC and pure software, this paper surveys the development of computer graphics. We start with the description of the theoretical problems related to computer graphics. Consequently, we present the most relevant industrial and academic solutions categorizing them from the point of view of their contribution in the speed up...

Large deformation causing damage due to uplift force is generated in buried pipeline located in shallow trenches in marshes and saturated soils. In this paper, existing common methods of pipeline anchorage are discussed and considering advantages and disadvantages of these methods, a new method of pipeline anchorage are studied and presented. In this new developed method, geo-textile materials ...
