AbstructWe present efficient, optimal algorithms for timing optimization by discrete wire sizing and buffer insertion. Our algorithms are able to minimize a cost function subject to given timing constraints; we focus on minimization of dynamic power dissipation, but the algorithm is also easily adaptable to, for example, area minimization. In addition, the algorithm efficiently computes the com...

We present eecient, optimal algorithms for timing optimization by discrete wire sizing and buuer insertion. Our algorithms are able to minimize a cost function subject to given timing constraints; we focus on minimization of dynamic power dissipation, but the algorithm is also easily adaptable to, for example, area minimization. In addition, the algorithm eeciently computes the complete, optima...

the paper describes an investigation about the application of the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model for optimizing profile diffuser barriers. the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model is much faster than the numerical method, thus it is used in an optimization process. the a-weighted insertion loss was used for the traffic noise spectrum. the result of optimization, which is d...

background. orthodontic mini-implants provide skeletal anchorage for tooth movement. there are two designs of mini-implants, tapered and cylindrical, which exhibit different clinical characteristics, including possible micro-damage to cor-tical bone. complications such as peri-implantitis and pain after mini-implant placement are common. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mini-...

background and aims. the majority of complete denture wearers are old. clinical experience suggests that complete denture wearers have various disorders in their gustatory and olfactory senses due to disturbance of airways between the oral and nasal cavities caused by upper complete denture. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of upper complete denture on gustatory and olfactor...

article 63 of islamic penal law defines adultery as: “copulation of a man with a woman who is essentially unlawful (ḥarām) to him, although in dubur (back), in cases other than misapprehended consummation.” clause 1 of article 1-221 of the new suggested bill, confirming the content of the above article, has also mentioned: “copulation is effected by the insertion of a male’s sex organ into a fe...
