Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and extract the implications of critical realism for science, technology and innovation policy-making as one of the later research traditions in social sciences. Nevertheless, its main focus, according to the different stages of the policy-making cycle and extent of its contributing factors, is on the stage of "policy evaluation". Methods: Thi...

This paper represents a modified datapath merging technique to amortize the configuration latency of mapping datapaths on reconfigurable fabric in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems (RTR). This method embeds together the different Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), corresponding to the loop kernels to create a single datapath (merged datapath) instead of multiple datapaths. The DFGs are merged in steps wher...
