This volume explores an underappreciated feature of the standard Tiberian Masoretic tradition Biblical Hebrew, namely its composite nature. Focusing on cases dissonance between tradition’s written (consonantal) and reading (vocalic) components, study shows that spelling pronunciation traditions, though related, interdependent, largely in harmony, at numerous points reflect distinct oral realisa...

Critical Infrastructure Protection requires the prioritization of critical assets and the evaluation of the criticality of infrastructures. However, criticality analysis is not yet standardized. In this paper we examine the relation between security risk and criticality. We analyze the similarities and differences in terms of scope, aims, impacts, threats and vulnerabilities and we suggest how ...

Micro-sensor nodes are highly energy-constrained and have timevarying performance demands. Accordingly, in this work an ultralow-power energy-scalable ADC is presented. The SAR architecture is well suited to environment monitoring. Recent micropower implementations have been limited to low resolutions (8 bits) [1]. The circuit and architecture enhancements presented in this paper efficiently in...
