Recently, hardware researchers have promptly begun to investigate alternative computational principles to the conventional ones. The main signs of these principles are inspiration in biology and their direct hardware implementation. Evolvable hardware, cellular computing or embryonic electronics are the most important examples. This paper describes different approaches to configuration, reconfi...

We examine the effect of risk tolerance downstream firms (i.e., customers) on investment inefficiency upstream suppliers). Using pilot licensing status CEOs as a proxy for their inherent tolerance, we find that customer led by are associated with suppliers’ inefficiency, where is more pronounced when suppliers have less bargaining power over customers. Our dynamic analysis confirms causative re...

We studied the relationship between the use of three detoxification pathways and urine pH and the tolerance of desert woodrats from two populations to a mixture of naturally occurring plant secondary metabolites (mostly phenolics) in resin from creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). The two populations of desert woodrats came from the Mojave desert (Mojave woodrats), where woodrats consume creosote...

This study is a first attempt to investigate the impact of urban contamination on metal tolerance of heterotrophic river biofilms using a short-term test based on β-glucosidase activity. Tolerance levels to Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Pb were evaluated for biofilms collected at three sites along an urban gradient in the Seine river (France). Metallic pollution increased along the river, but concentratio...

An algebra A is tolerance trivial if Tol A = ConA where Tol A is the lattice of all tolerances on A. If A contains a Mal'cev function compatible with each T Tol A, then A is tolerance trivial. We investigate nite algebras satisfying also the converse statement. Let R be a binary relation on a set A and f be an n-ary function on A. We say that f is compatible with R or that R is compatible with ...

Abstract We consider the large polaron described by Fröhlich Hamiltonian and study its energy-momentum relation defined as lowest possible energy a function of total momentum. Using suitable family trial states, we derive an optimal parabolic upper bound for in limit strong coupling. The consists momentum independent term that agrees with predicted two-term expansion ground state strongly coupl...
