A high accurate and low-voltage analog CMOS current divider which operates with a single power supply voltage is designed in 0.18µm CMOS standard technology. The proposed divider uses a differential amplifier and transistor in triode region in order to perform the division. The proposed divider is modeled with neural network while TLBO algorithm is used to optimize it. The proposed optimiza...

Malware Attribute Enumeration and Characterization (MAEC) is a standardized language and format being formulated in cooperation with industry, government and academia for use in attribute-based malware characterization. MAEC is composed of a set of attribute enumerations, a schema, and a standard output format for the transport and communication of MAEC-encoded data. MAEC is being developed by ...

Large-size biomolecular systems that spontaneously assemble, disassemble, and self-repair by controlled inputs play fundamental roles in biology. Microtubules (MTs), which play important roles in cell adhesion and cell division, are a prime example. MTs serve as ″tracks″ for molecular motors, and their biomechanical functions depend on dynamic instability-a stochastic switching between periods ...

Abstract The Lorenz order is commonly used to compare rules for claims problems. In this paper, we incorporate the average of awards rule, mean value set vectors a problem, ranking standard by proving some properties that are satisfied rule. We define pair coefficients, inspired Gini index, aimed at measuring, any given discrepancy between assigned rule and proportional division. generalize pro...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a time-consuming and challenging procedure. Traditionally, the myotomy is done after the submucosal tunnel has been completed. Starting the myotomy earlier, after submucosal tunneling is half completed (concurrent myotomy and tunneling), may be more efficient. This study aims to assess if the method of concurrent myotomy and tunneli...

In this paper the performance of locally risk-minimizing delta hedge strategies for European options in stochastic volatility models is studied from an experimental as well as from an empirical perspective. These hedge strategies are derived for a large class of diffusion-type stochastic volatility models, and they are as easy to implement as usual delta hedges. Our simulation results on model ...

The generic, quantitative, spatially explicit, individual-based model BacSim was developed to simulate growth and behaviour of bacteria. The potential of this approach is in relating the properties of microscopic entities - cells - to the properties of macroscopic, complex systems such as biofilms. Here, the growth of a single Escherichia coli cell into a colony was studied. The object-oriented...

This paper describes a receiver for Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) optical networks that employs Subcarrier Multiplexing (SCM) techniques to implement the control channels. The control channels operate in the 1 GHz to 2 GHz band.

Novel automatized management systems for optical WDM networks promise to allow customers asking for a connection (i.e., a bandwidth service) to specify on-demand the terms of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to be guaranteed by the Network Operator (NO). In this work, we exploit the knowledge, among the other Service Level Specifications (SLS), of the holding time and of the availability targe...
