We motivate and describe an analog evolvable hardware design platform named GRACE (i.e. Generative Robust Analog Circuit Exploration). GRACE combines coarse-grained, topological circuit search with intrinsic testing on a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) field programmable device, the Anadigm AN221E04. It is suited for adaptive, fault tolerant system design as well as CAD flow applications.

We formulate the data analysis problem for the detection of the Newtonian waveform from an inspiraling compact-binary by a network of arbitrarily oriented and arbitrarily distributed laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors. We obtain for the first time the relation between the optimal statistic and the magnitude of the network correlation vector, which is constructed from the matched...

This talk re-examines some of the evolving interaction between hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology, focussing in particular on some contributions of Murray Macbeath to surface topology.

Zur Repräsentation grammatikalischen Wissens werden zur Zeit deklarative Formalismen favorisiert, die zugleich sehr stark kompetenzorientiert sind. Im Gegensatz dazu gibt es im Bereich der anwendungsorientierten Forschung Ansätze zur automatischen Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache, die prozedurales Wissen in den Grammatikformalismus einbeziehen und die Repräsentation des grammatikalischen Wissen...

BACKGROUND Identifying which patients presenting with undifferentiated chest pain are at risk of major cardiac events is a major clinical challenge. Clinical evaluation may lack sufficient precision, leading to unnecessary admission or inappropriate discharge. It is uncertain whether risk scores derived from ACS populations apply to unselected patients with chest pain. AIM To determine the pr...

Introduction NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), which is a joint mission of the United States and Germany, uses a pair of coupled satellites to measure spatial and temporal changes in the Earth’s gravity field. From these data, estimates of changes (time-variable anomalies) in mass are derived. In turn, the mass changes are attributed primarily to changes in water content (...
