The test bench methodology helps the design engineer to structure the simulation of his circuit. As showed in this paper, the test bench methodology can further be developed in order to e ciently reuse simulation stimuli and response for the real device under test. As FPGAs are very often used to prototype an ASIC design, an easy switch between simulation and real hardware test is necessary to ...

The phenomenon of the entrepreneurial university has received considerable attention in recent decades, since the entrepreneurial orientation of academia could put regions and nations at an advantage in areas of economic activity where the focus is on emerging knowledge. Empirical research on entrepreneurial initiative incentives within universities and involving students and lecturers is scarc...

Macromolecular crowding influences protein mobility and stability in vivo. A precise description of the effect on thermal requires estimate combined effects excluded volume, specific protein-environment interactions, as well response crowders. Here, we explore an ideal model system, lysozyme powder state, to dissect factors controlling melting under extreme crowding. By deploying state-of-the a...

The relationship between institutional change and entrepreneurship is poorly understood. We build the theory in this area by tracing institutional change in the US electric power industry over a 40-year period. Our analysis shows that environmental jolts mobilize actors to reformulate institutions, resulting in increased entrepreneurial opportunity. When the institutional environment is stable,...

The influence of institutional factors on firm entry has long interested strategy scholars. However, we have limited understanding of how the sociocultural environment, defined as the unwritten, decentralized “rules of the game,” influences founding rates in emergent industries; we know even less about how these noneconomic factors differentially influence entry by new entrepreneurial (de novo)...
