Neuron encodes and transmits information through generating sequences of output spikes, which is a high energy-consuming process. The spike is initiated when membrane depolarization reaches a threshold voltage. In many neurons, threshold is dynamic and depends on the rate of membrane depolarization (dV/dt) preceding a spike. Identifying the metabolic energy involved in neural coding and their r...

In this article, we proposed a Variable threshold MOSFET(VTMOS)approach which is realized from Dynamic Threshold MOSFET(DTMOS), suitable for sub-threshold digital circuit operation .Basically the principle of subthreshold logics is operating MOSFET in sub-threshold region and using the leakage current in that region for switching action, there by drastically decreasing power .To reduce the powe...

Irreversible dynamic monopolies were already defined and widely studied in the literature for undirected graphs. They are arising from formulation of the irreversible spread of influence such as disease, opinion, adaptation of a new product, etc., in social networks, where the influence between any two individuals is assumed to be bilateral or reciprocal. But in many phenomena, the influence in...

This paper investigates the nonlinear relationship between capital structure and firm performance in MENA region using a sample of 499 listed firms over 2007–2020 period, or 6986 firm-year observations. Specifically, we examine size-threshold effect structure–firm nexus. To do so, this study applies dynamic panel threshold regression model (DPTR). The findings show that there is debt (Tobin’s Q...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Shamir's (t, n) secret sharing scheme (SS) is based on a univariate polynomial and is the most cited SS in the literature. The secret in a (t, n) SS can be recovered either by exactly t or more than t shareholders. Most SSs only consider when there are exactly t shareholders participated in the secret reconstruction. In this paper, we examine security issue...

Cloud computing, an emerging computing paradigm, has been widely considered due to its high scalability and availability. An essential stage of cloud is the virtual machine migration technology. Nevertheless, current trigger timing in data centers inaccurate, resulting insufficient consolidation. Furthermore, low workload fluctuations are also a potential symmetrical problem worthy attention. T...
