In this note we give a new separation between sensitivity and block sensitivity of Boolean functions: bs(f) = 2 3 s(f) − 1 3 s(f).

Burn-in (BI) for programmed Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a growing concern in the space community. This application note addresses these concerns with regard to the Actel RT54SX-S and SX-A FPGA device families in an unprogrammed versus a programmed mode. This application note discusses the main differences between the architecture of the RT54SX-S and SX-A families and it describes ...

Chemical recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the amoxicillin plant’s waste stream was investigated. In process of amoxicillin production for activation of amoxicillin molecule, hydrolysis takes place at final stage. As a result methyl acetoacetate is formed. Liquid-liquid extraction was employed for the recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the waste stream. Diluted alkaline solution was used a...

the aim of this paper is to study semigroups possessing $e$-regular elements, where an element $a$ of a semigroup $s$ is {em $e$-regular} if $a$ has an inverse $a^circ$ such that $aa^circ,a^circ a$ lie in $ esubseteq e(s)$. where $s$ possesses `enough' (in a precisely defined way) $e$-regular elements, analogues of green's lemmas and even of green's theorem hold, where green's relations $mbox{$...

Abstmct-This note derives persistence of excitation The format of this note is the following. Section 2 stater conditions on the input for systems with partially known two excitation conditions involving both u(r) and y(t). stated transfer functions. The assumed transfer function model is i n Dasgupta n a1. (1985. 1988) and shows how they are [p,(s) + KIP(r)]/[q,,(s) + KrQ(s)]. where K is the u...

The human capacity for speech and vocal music depends on vocal imitation. Songbirds, in contrast to non-human primates, share this vocal production learning with humans. The process through which birds and humans learn many of their vocalizations as well as the underlying neural system exhibit a number of striking parallels and have been widely researched. In contrast, rhythm, a key feature of ...

Note that νj([2S−1]) = 1 and νj(ρ) is a strictly increasing function for ρ < [S−1]−1. The proof of Theorem 2 in Wainwright (2009) establishes that for each value of the tuning parameter λ the necessary condition for the signed support recovery is |νj + Z̃j| ≤ 1 with Z̃j = λ−1XT j ΠX⊥ K ( ). Note that Zj follows a non-degenerate zeromean gaussian distribution for S < n, thus the probability of the...

recently, baghery et al. [1, 2] presented some attacks on two rfid protocols, namely yoon and jung et al. protocols, and proposed the improved version of them. however, in this note, we show that the improved version of the jung et al. protocol suffers from desynchronization attack and the improved version of the yoon&apos;s protocol suffers from secret disclosure attack. the success probabilit...
