Energy consumption in commercial and educational buildings is impacted by group activities such as meetings, workshops, classes and exams, and can be reduced by scheduling these activities to take place at times and locations that are favorable from an energy standpoint. This paper improves on the effectiveness of energy-aware room-booking and occupancy scheduling approaches, by allowing the sc...

This paper describes a library of parameterized arithmetic operators for manipulating high-dynamic numbers on FPGA. It support both floating-point and logarithmic representations. Along with its direct interest, that library allow application-specific comparisons of those two number representation systems. It is unbiased in the sense that it tends to reflect the state-of-the-art for both number...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the strong convergence and exponential stability in mean square of the exponential Euler method to semi-linear stochastic delay differential equations (SLSDDEs). It is proved that the exponential Euler approximation solution converges to the analytic solution with the strong order [Formula: see text] to SLSDDEs. On the one hand, the classical sta...

The 2-dimensional logarithmic number system (2DLNS), a subset of the multi-DLNS (MDLNS), which has similar properties to the classical Logarithmic Number System (LNS), provides more degrees of freedom than the LNS by virtue of having two orthogonal bases and has the ability to use multiple 2DLNS components, or digits. The second base in 2DLNS can be adjusted to improve the representation space ...

objective: yield components and genetic contribution have the most important in final yield and breeding programs of crop plants. for this purpose, 20 varieties of grapevines with russia origin were evaluated in urmia and takestan research station (under full irrigation and drought stress). methods: twenty grapevine genotypes were evaluated in urmia and takestan research station (under full irr...

The so-called Schwab-Borchardt mean plays an important role in the theory of (bivariate) means. It includes a lot of standard means, such as the logarithmic mean, the first and second Seiffert means and the Neuman-Sándor mean. In this paper, we investigate an approach which allows us to construct a class of new means. Such class includes the (generalized) Schwab-Borchardt mean and other old/new...

An integral representation of Neuman is extended and used to suggest a multidimensional weighted generalized logarithmic mean. Some inequalities are established for such means. A number of known results appear as special cases.

We find the greatest value p1 = p1(α) and the least value p2 = p2(α) such that the double inequality Jp1 (a,b) <αA(a,b)+(1−α)L(a,b) < Jp2 (a,b) holds for any α ∈ (0,1) and all a,b > 0 with a = b . Here, A(a,b) , L(a,b) and Jp(a,b) denote the arithmetic, logarithmic and p -th one-parameter means of two positive numbers a and b , respectively. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 26E60.
