Countering claims that recency effects observed at different time scales arise from a common forgetting process, Davelaar et al. (2005) presented a number of experimental dissociations between shortand long-term recency. They used these dissociations to argue that separate mechanisms underlie shortand long-term recency. Here we show that the temporal context model (TCM), which assumes that both...

This work introduces the most efficient universal accumulator known today. For the first time, we have an accumulator which does not depend on hidden order groups, does not require any exponentiations in the target group associated with the pairing function, and only requires two pairings to verify a proof-of-knowledge of a witness. We present implementations of our accumulator and another rece...

Rounded Arithmetic is the traditional way of presenting previous year accounts. The method of showing rounded sums of vectors in which the arithmetic still “adds up” and the errors in the display of the components are bounded by twice the maximum rounding error have been well known for at least 30 years in spite of there being little or nothing in the literature and no attempt to implement this...

Most built-in self test (BIST) solutions require specialized test pattern generation hardware which may introduce significant area overhead and performance degradation. Recently, some authors proposed test pattern generation on chip by means of functional units also used in system mode like adders or multipliers. These schemes generate pseudo-random or pseudo-exhaustive patterns for serial or p...

The energy density of conventional hydraulic accumulators is significantly lower than competing energy domains. In this paper, a novel solution to improve the energy density of hydraulic energy storage, the flywheel-accumulator, is presented. The flywheelaccumulator integrates rotating kinetic and pneumatic energy storage, where the hydraulic fluid is used to change the mass moment of inertia o...

This article presents a preference accumulation model that can be used to implement a number of different multi-attribute heuristic choice rules, including the lexicographic rule, the majority of confirming dimensions (tallying) rule and the equal weights rule. The proposed model differs from existing accumulators in terms of attribute representation: Leakage and competition, typically applied ...

in this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and obtain related results. then we classify this notion according to level sets. after that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper k-ideals. finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

Brookhaven is undertaking the design, construction and commissioning of the accumulator ring and the beam transport lines for the 1-GeV Spallation Neutron Source. The operating pressure of the accumulator ring vacuum system will be 10 Torr and is needed to minimize the beam-residual gas ionization. The vacuum requirement, the layout of the ring vacuum system, and the design of the vacuum chambe...
