in this paper, a new structure possessing the advantages of low-power consumption, less hardware and high-speed is proposed for fuzzy controller. the maximum output delay for general fuzzy logic controllers (flc) is about 86 ns corresponding to 11.63 mflips (fuzzy logic inference per second) while this amount of the delay in the designed fuzzy controller becomes 52ns that corresponds to 19.23 m...

Mass Customization is a new mode of production and service delivery that has become an integral part of the Global Management Paradigm (GMP) [1]. The term itself was first coined by S. Davis back in 1987 (his book Future Perfect). In recent articles, J. Gilmore emphasized the customer-unique value chain [2], relating to the effort of overcome the "mass-oriented" thinking and behavior which appe...

Virtual reconstructions, that is, 3D digital models of heritage buildings or spaces, have been an integral part of most virtual heritage applications, and are probably among the first things that come to mind when virtual heritage is mentioned – with Quicktime VR as a close second place. Its importance leads to the adoption and development of various technologies in order to obtain faster, bigg...

The coronins, first described in Dictyostelium discoideum in 1991, have meanwhile been detected in all eukaryotes except plants. They belong to the superfamily of WD40-repeat proteins and represent a large family of proteins, which are often involved in cytoskeletal functions. Phylogenetic studies clearly distinguish 12 subfamilies of which six exclusively occur in vertebrates. In the present b...

In the humanities and social sciences, bibliometric methods for the assessment of research performance are (so far) less common. The current study takes a concrete example in an attempt to evaluate a research institute from the area of social sciences and humanities with the help of data from Google Scholar (GS). In order to use GS for a bibliometric study, we have developed procedures for the ...
