In this paper the focus is on a family of Interconnection Networks (INs) known as Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs). When it is exploited in Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture designs, smaller circuit area, lower power consumption, less junctions and broader bandwidth can be achieved. Each MIN can be considered as an alternative for an NoC architecture design for its simple topology an...

The abrupt green-to-yellow thermochromism observed for certain A2CuCl4 compounds has long been attributed to the presence of strong N-H hydrogen bonding in the low-temperature phase that favors square-planar CuCl4(2-) (green in color) through reduction of ligand-ligand repulsion. Weakening of the hydrogen bonding at higher temperature results in the transformation to (far more common) flattened...

In this paper, we propose a Dynamic Naive Bayesian (DNB) network model for classifying data sets with hierarchical labels. The DNB model is built upon a Naive Bayesian (NB) network, a successful classifier for data with flattened (nonhierarchical) class labels. The problems using flattened class labels for hierarchical classification are addressed in this paper. The DNB has a top-down structure...

Deep Spitzer IRAC images of L1157 reveal many of the details of the outflow and the circumstellar environment of this Class 0 protostar. In IRAC band 4, 8 μm, there is a flattened structure seen in absorption against the background emission. The structure is perpendicular to the outflow and is extended to a diameter of ∼2′. This structure is the first clear detection of a flattened circumstella...

The dispersion in photonic crystal fibers likewise conventional optical fibers determines performance of optical systems. Fibers having near-zero dispersion and wideband flat characteristics are considered crucial for applications in both the linear and nonlinear regimes. This paper presents an octagonal photonic crystal fiber design for ultra-flattened chromatic dispersion characteristic and e...
