with reconfigurable logic and multiple processing elements sharing a common memory, like that shown in Figure 1, is likely to become quite common in the near future. For example, programmable-logic companies are producing single chips containing millions of reconfigurable logic gate equivalents and full-custom VLSI processors. Designers can customize such chips by reprogramming the reconfigurab...

A complete set of Equivalent Space-Time Theories based on a group of “equivalent” transformations has been studied by Selleri. This “equivalent” set of space-time theories includes Special Relativity Theory involving the Lorentz transformations and a semi-classical Absolute Space Theory based on the generalized Galilean or inertial transformations. In order to separate these theories, the light...

A new research project has, quite recently, been launched to clarify how different, from systems in second order number theory extending ACA0, those in second order set theory extending NBG (as well as those in n+3-th order number theory extending the so-called Bernays Gödel expansion of full n+2-order number theory etc.) are. In this article, we establish the equivalence between ∆0-LFP and ∆ 1...

The revised version of the Speech Learning Model (SLM-r) regards full-time equivalent (FTE), which involves amount L2 use during length residence (LOR) in an setting, as main factor speech acquisition. Previous studiesshowed that LOR has a significant effect on and L1 production perception but does not explain differences between populations (i.e., L1-Spanish L2-English vs. L1-English L2-Spanis...

We consider the problem of finding the closest match for a given target vector in a codebook of codeword vectors. We present an approach which makes it possible to obtain quick full-search equivalent methods for finding the closest match with respect to some distortion measure. Our algorithms assume that the distortion measure obeys the triangle inequality of metric spaces. Results indicate tha...
