We describe the capabilities of and algorithms used in a new FPGA CAD tool, Versatile Place and Route (VPR). In terms of minimizing routing area, VPR outperforms all published FPGA place and route tools to which we can compare. Although the algorithms used are based on previously known approaches, we present several enhancements that improve run-time and quality. We present placement and routin...

An incompressible potential-flow vortex method has been constructed to analyze the flow field of a ducted wind turbine following that outlined by Lewis (1991). Attention is paid to balancing the momentum change in the flow to the total longitudinal forces acting on the duct-turbine combination: the pressure force on the actuator disk plus the pressure forces acting on the duct, which typically ...

The limit of power extraction by a device which makes use constructive interference, i.e. local blockage, is investigated theoretically. modelled using actuator disc theory in we allow the to be split into arrays and these then sub-arrays an arbitrary number times so as construct $n$ -level multi-scale original undergoes $n-1$ sub-divisions. alternative physical interpretation problem planar sy...

‎‎in cite{fr 1‎, ‎fr 2} using faithful complex representations of cyclically pinched and conjugacy pinched one-relator groups we proved that any limit group has a faithful representation in $psl(2,c)$‎. ‎further this representation can be effectively constructed using the jsj decomposition‎. ‎in this note we show that any hyperbolic cyclically pinched one-relator group with maximal amalgamated ...

An important consideration in control issues is control of nonlinear systems. Sliding control is among those nonlinear controllers that can control the system desirably in the presence of unstructured uncertainties of carelessness in specifying parameters of the system. In sliding control, also called Variable Structure Control, the main objectives of the controller &#10are achieved by introduc...

Suppose that a policyholder faces $n$ risks X1, ..., Xn which are insured under the policy limit with the total limit of l. Usually, the policyholder is asked to protect each Xi with an arbitrary limit of li such that ∑ni=1li=l. If the risks are independent and identically distributed with log-concave cumulative distribution function, using the notions of majorization and stochastic orderings, ...

Misunderstandings about the Concept of Limit among High School Seniors E. Reyhaani, Ph.D. Z. Sharifi M. Soltaani The concept of limit is one of the basic concepts in mathematics. As such, clear understanding of it is pre-requisite for learning many other concepts. However, many of high school students suffer from misunderstanding this basic concept. To identify and remedy these ...
