Estimating and minimizing the maximum power dissipation during testing is an important task in VLSI circuit realization since the power value affects the reliability of the circuits. Therefore during testing a methodology should be adopted to minimize power consumption. Test patterns generated with –D 1 option of ATALANTA contains don’t care bits (x bits). By suitable filling of don’t cares can...

We present a study of the dynamic shear ordering of viscoelastic photonic crystals, based on core-shell polymeric composite particles. Using an adapted shear-cell arrangement, the crystalline ordering of the material under conditions of oscillatory shear is interrogated in real time, through both video imaging and from the optical transmission spectra of the cell. In order to gain a deeper unde...

We introduce a declarative approach for a coherent composition of autonomous databases. For this we use ID-logic, a formalism that extends classical logic with inductive definitions. We consider ID-logic theories that express, at the same time, the two basic challenges in database composition problems: relating different schemas of the local databases to one global schema (schema integration) a...

The all-time behavior provides a robustness algorithm by allowing it to be interrupted at any point in the process, while ensuring that the best possible response is delivered when the stop request occurs. This work proposes a methodology to identify the relationship of the parameters of an optimization algorithm by colony of ants with its behavior at-all-moment, allowing to implement a techniq...

Since innovation plays an important role in the context of food, as evident in how successful chefs, restaurants or cuisines in general evolve over time, we were interested in exploring this dimension from a more virtual perspective. In particular, the paper presents results of a study that was conducted in the context of a large-scale German online food community forum to explore another impor...

DOI: 10.1002/aelm.201500372 superlattices, in particular the (LaMnO3)m/ (SrMnO3)n system, has yielded important insights into the relationships between charge transfer, electronic structure, cation disorder, and magnetic ordering.[11–15] Ferroelectric superlattices have also received considerable attention,[16–18] with short-period superlattices emerging as a platform in which to realize improp...

In this paper we show that nondeterministic space s n is closed under com plementation for s n greater than or equal to log n It immediately follows that the context sensitive languages are closed under complementation thus settling a question raised by Kuroda in See Hartmanis and Hunt for a discussion of the history and importance of this problem and Hopcroft and Ullman for all relevant backgr...
