This work explores the effect of adding a new partitioning step into the traditional complex programmable logic device (CPLD) CAD flow. A novel algorithm based on Rent’s rule and simulated annealing partitions a design before it enters the place and route stage in CPLD CAD. The resulting partitions are then placed using an enhanced placement tool. Experiments conducted on Altera’a APEX20K chips...

We present ESO NTT high resolution echelle spectroscopy of the central stars (CSs) of eight southern bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) selected for their asymmetry. Our aim was to determine or place limits on the magnetic fields of the CSs of these nebulae, and hence to explore the role played by magnetic fields in nebular morphology and PN shaping. If magnetic fields do play a role, we expect th...

We’re going to take a short break from the problem of private query release to develop another fundamental technique in differential privacy. Don’t worry – we’ll soon use this to improve our query release algorithms. Suppose that a data analyst wants to know the answers to k adaptively chosen, low-sensitivity queries on a private database. At the moment, the only way we know how to handle adapt...

This paper studies a discrete-time queueing system in which customer who enters the with server occupied may choose to go retrial group or begin its service displacing that was server. If is idle arriving begins immediately. Retrial and times are general, only repeated can directly one situated at first place of group. A complete study model has been curried out noting specially analysis recurs...

A central problem in designing effective models of provider governance in health systems has been to ensure an appropriate balance between the concerns of public sector and/or government decision-makers, on the one hand, and of non-governmental health services actors in civil society and private life, on the other. In tax-funded European health systems up to the 1980s, the state and other publi...

Iran’s environmental condition is critical, since it is experiencing desertification, unsustainable development and overpopulation. The objective of this study is power source replacement in natural gas stations that operate with natural gas compressors, through using electrical motors, which can be fed by a 160 MW geothermal power plant, as an alternative to gas turbines. Application of such a...

Political theory today has expanded its scope to debate business corporations, conceiving of them as political actors, not (just) private actors in the market place. This article shows continuing relevance Thomas Hobbes’s work for this debate. Hobbes is commonly treated a defender so-called concession theory, which traces legitimacy corporations their being chartered by sovereign state authorit...

By the use as tracers of 42K, 86Rb and 32P it has been shown that in the metabolism of Bact. lactis aerogenes (а) the alkali-metal ion enters the cell during oxidation of the carbon substrate (glucose, succinic acid, acetic acid), whether or not a nitrogen source is provided, so that growth occurs; in either event the alkali-metal ion subsequently leaves the cell again; (б) if the pH is lowered...

IZINDABA 78 The office of President Thabo Mbeki took nearly 3 months merely to acknowledge an urgent letter from the South African Medical Association, pleading with him not to sign into law 'draconian' measures dictating where doctors may practise in future. Confirming this early in January, SAMA chairperson, Dr Kgosi Letlape, said doctors were in the 'catch 22' situation of being powerless to...

public order has a long history and a great role in private law andinternational commercial arbitration; as much as can be said: public order isone of the most important limitations of party autonomy (contractualfreedom) in private law and international commercial arbitration.however, legal experts disagree about the meaning of this term. some oflawyers and jurists have made great efforts to de...
