There has been an increasing interest in the use of inter-organisational groups to address regional implications in sustainable development. These groups bring together local knowledge and expertise and span boundaries between government and industry organisations. Our focus is in understanding how knowledge is shared in such inter-organisational groups. Utilising interviews, observations and s...

An actor-network analysis of the way in which online investors use Internet-based services has revealed a phenomenon that is not commonly reported in actor-network theory research. An aspect of the research that emerged from interviews of a wide range of online investors is a peculiar effect of changes in non-human actors on the human actors. In this paper, the authors report on the particular ...

No single network design meets the global needs of all organizations and institutes. Also, it is impossible to engineer a universal network from a single network technology. Because of such diverse network technologies, it is often necessary to analyze, design/model, simulate, test and measure protocols and their interconnections for designing heterogeneous networks and project growth in variou...

reversible logic circuits have found emerging attentions in nanotechnology,optical computing, quantum computing and low power design. a programmablelogic array (pla) is a universal circuit which is used to implement combinationallogic circuits. the main part of a pla is its and array. in this study we propose twotypes of optimized reversible programmable logic array (rpla) circuits. the firstty...

The Markov random field (MRF) theory has been accepted as a highly effective framework for designing noise-tolerant nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In MRF-based design, proper feedback lines are used to control noise and keep the circuits in their valid states. However, this methodology has encountered two major problems that have limited the application of highly noise immune MRF-based circui...

The nullor is a theoretical two-port element suitable to model several multi-port devices common in audio circuitry, such as ideal operational amplifiers, transconductance and transistors operating linear regime. In this manuscript, we present an approach for the Wave Digital (WD) modeling implementation of circuits with multiple nullors. particular, propose compute scattering matrices WD topol...

quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is an emerging and promising technology that provides significant improvements over cmos. recently qca has been advocated as an applicant for implementing reversible circuits. however qca, like other nanotechnologies, suffers from a high fault rate. the main purpose of this paper is to develop a fault tolerant model of qca circuits by redundancy in hardware a...
