Network-on-Chip (NoC) is proposed as a new scalable architecture to address the future design challenges of system-ona-chip (SoC). As current verification techniques for on-chip communication algorithms are typically complicated tasks including many hardware modules and software routines, verifying the algorithms themselves is almost impossible. Having the incentive for simplifying verification...

randomization is an essential component of sound clinical trials which prevents selection biases and helps in blinding the allocations. randomization is a process by which subsequent subjects enrolled into trial groups only by chance which is essentially eliminates selection biases. a serious consequence of randomization is severe imbalance among treatment groups with respect to some prognostic...

This paper presents a method of constructing the switching function using edge-valued decision diagrams. The proposed method is as following. The edge-valued decision diagram is a new data structure type of decision diagram which is recently used in constructing the digital logic systems based on the graph theory. Next, we apply edge-valued decision diagram to function minimization of digital l...

This study attempted to investigate the impact of teacher’s code-switching on the acquisition of a problematic grammatical structure, namely, object relative clauses, by intermediate EFL learners. Moreover, a secondary objective of the study was to determine the EFL learners’ attitudes and opinions regarding the effectiveness of teacher’s code-switching in their learning of a specific aspect of...

network effects, increase in the value of consuming a product if many other consumers use the same product, is a feature of many markets of high-technology products. frequently cited examples of products exhibiting network effects are telecommunication or software products. this research explores the role of network effects in the consumer´s choice of mobile operator in tehran. for our empirica...

In this paper is proposed a computational model (“Modelo de Seleção de Partes e Escalonamento” – MSPE) to generate a scheduling of parts in a Flexible Manufacturing System environment, considering due dates, production turns and machine tools with magazine constraints. The problems considered are the Part Selection Problem and the Scheduling Problem. The scheduling objectives are the minimizati...

Minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is one of the most important requirements from multilevel inverter concerning good Power Quality. This paper presents the optimization of THD in 13 level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter with unequal dc source using Genetic Algorithm (GA). THD minimization is taken as an optimization problem derived from Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse width Modulation (...

In modern digital circuits the total power attributed to wires is increasing. Reducing the power consumption in wires play a major role in low power design. Coupling transitions contribute to significant energy loss in deep sub-micron buses. Earlier schemes using the switching activity minimization based upon the substrate capacitances are not valid in these buses. Hence, a new low energy bus-e...
