This paper explores using information about program branch probabilities to optimise reconfigurable designs. The basic premise is to promote utilization by dedicating more resources to branches which execute more frequently. A hardware compilation system has been developed for producing designs which are optimised for different branch probabilities. We propose an analytical queueing network per...

Network security is very important when sending confidential data through the network. Cryptography is the science of hiding information, and a combination of cryptography solutions with cognitive science starts a new branch called cognitive cryptography that guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data. Brain signals as a biometric indicator can convert to a binary code which can be...

Abstract To improve the generalization ability of single pooling (average or maximum pooling) skip connection residual network (SSN) for seismic random noise attenuation, we present a hybrid-pooling (HSN). In HSN, hybrid consists average and aims to simultaneously capture local global features well, ultimately improving detail recovery capability HSN. further performance denoising propose combi...

Existing studies have paid limited attention to how media use and network diversity are related to cultural capital along or across ethnic boundaries. Extending the network model to a mediated network model of cultural capital, this research examines cultural knowledge as a function of media use and edia use thnic media thnic boundary network diversity and whether media use moderates or mediate...

We study the dual roles of the stability of an individual’s social network and social contagion on individual behavior in the mobile Internet setting. We use a panel dataset containing all mobile records for a sample of 3G mobile subscribers. Our data includes information about their frequency of mobile Internet usage, and their communication patterns across voice calls and messages, which allo...

On social network sites (SNS), information about one’s romantic partner is readily available and public for friends. The paper focuses on the negative (SNS jealousy) and positive (SNS relationship happiness) consequences of SNS use for romantic relationships. We examined whether relationship satisfaction, trait jealousy, SNS use and need for popularity predicted these emotional consequences of ...

This paper discusses networks (directed graphs) having one input node, one output node, and an arbitrary number of intermediate nodes, whose branches are noisy communications channels, in which the input to each channel appears at its output corrupted by additive Gaussian noise. Each branch is labeled by a non-negative real parameter which specified how noisy it is. A branch originating at a no...

Our purpose was to define arteriolar network hemodynamics during moderate increases in interstitial adenosine or nitric oxide in the hamster (n = 34, pentobarbital sodium 70 mg/kg) cheek pouch tissue. The network consists of a feed arteriole (approximately 12-microm diameter, approximately 800-microm length) with three to six branches. Observations of diameter, red blood cell flux, and velocity...

We consider a reliable network design problem under uncertain edge failures. Our goal is to select a minimum-cost subset of edges in the network to connect multiple terminals together with high probability. This problem can be seen as a stochastic variant of the Steiner tree problem. We propose two scenario-based Steiner cut formulations, study the strength of the proposed valid inequalities, a...
